Captain, what are your orders
Captain, your orders....
Flashback
Icarus launched
Straight and true
Flying for a new home
As humanity breathed its last
One last hope
One last dream
Into the stars
We commended ourselves
A planet to find
A new home for man
We search the stars
For somewhere to land
...
At last on the scope
A hospitable host
A planet of promise
A place of hope
We plot a cautious course
Not sure what to expect
But our hope grow wildly
Despite our effort
We grow closer and close
Long range sensors
Paint the picture
A place of riches
But dangerous it seems
Hidden risk
Must be considered
Before we scout too far ahead
...
At last we arrive
In the system
Of proposed hope
The closer we come
The greater the pull
Her gravity well runs deep
But we ignore the risk
Until we find
It's much too late
We are stuck here now
Caught in her pull
The choices are few
The consequences many
And the crew is screaming
Like the alarms before
Captain your orders...
But I've no idea what to do
