Samus prided herself on always being ready. After all, in space, anything can happen and no one will hear about it until it's too late. Unless you're ready, consistently poised like an apex feline predator on some sort of powder stimulant. And Samus was always ready.
Well, except right now. Right now she was frustrated, tired, and hungry and the damn fabricator was spitting out nothing but air and her focus was all on the attempt to smack it in just the right sequence to make it-
A distracted thought like that was just enough to throw her off her guard as the station shook and tossed Samus to ground. Sparks flew around her head and she closed her eyes reflexively, feeling the hot licks of electricity graze her skin. Samus kept them closed until everything was still, and opened to find a woman looking just as jostled as she herself was.
"It was only a matter of time," she grumbled, pushing herself back upright. "It seems like it's time to actually find the source of power on this station."
