[FORM-I:{capsule systems}|{4 bars}|{instrumental}]
[ship:{steady stasis hum}][piano:{single dry clock ticks}]
[cello:{one cold harmonic}][tagelharpa:{almost inaudible D-A}]

[FORM-STASIS:{Kepler briefing}]
[delivery:{almost spoken}|{no beat}]

Kepler 442b.
That’s what they wrote on the board
before we climbed in.
Super-Earth. Habitable zone.
Green on the models
if you squinted and ignored the error bars.

[FORM-GAP:{1 bar}|{lone piano tick}|{no voice}]

I was the one who kept the biology file open
longer than the schedule liked.

[FORM-GAP:{2 bars}|{low descending cello}|{stasis hum continues}]

[FORM-V1:{wake cycle}]
[piano:{measured isolated pulse}][cello:{pizzicato to bowed low replies}]
[tagelharpa:{narrow drone}][octobass:{quiet stopped D}]

Years in the capsules.
Wake every eighteen months
for the checks that take four hours
and feel like four days.
Stretch. Eat the paste that pretends it’s food.
Read the logs.

[FORM-GAP:{1 bar}|{dry piano clock}|{no voice}]

Confirm the drive is still pretending to be fine.
Then back under
before the body remembers how much it hates the floating.

[FORM-GAP:{1 bar}|{low cello sustain}|{piano stops}]

It was boring in the way that means
nothing is wrong yet.

[FORM-GAP:{2 bars}|{clock slows}|{silence}]

[FORM-BREACH:{protocol without knocking}]
[alarm:{sudden clipped signal}][cello:{violent bow catches}]
[CR5:{distorted repeated low D}][toms:{irregular impacts}]
[metal:{short hull strikes}|{no continuous noise bed}]

The emergency protocol arrives without the knock.
It just dumps you into the corridor
with the lights already red
and your mouth still trying to remember saliva.
Hull breach aft.
Micrometeoroid swarm.
Or one big one that brought friends.
The difference stays off the screen.

[FORM-FILL:{1 bar}|{toms accelerate against broken piano clock}|{instrumental only}]

The numbers on the screen are climbing
faster than my eyes can hold them.
Pressure drop.
Life support arguing with itself.
Someone’s voice in the comm saying go
and then cutting to static mid-syllable.

[FORM-GAP:{2 bars}|{all instruments stop}|{radio static alone}]

[FORM-PRE:{half awake}]
[octobass:{deep staggered D}|{CR5 short distorted strokes}]
[cello:{exposed dissonant answers}][delivery:{breathless}]

I’m still half in the gel.
Legs not taking orders clean.
The alarms are late the way they always are
when the ship has already decided
it’s done negotiating.

[FORM-GAP:{1 bar}|{suspended cello harmonic}|{distant alarm}]

[FORM-TURN:{4-bar cello distress}|{instrumental only}]
[stage 1:{cello attacks D-Eb}|{CR5 answers low}]
[stage 2:{toms displace beat}|{steel cuts in}]
[stage 3:{rapid cello crossings}|{octobass holds D}]
[ending:{low impact}|{hard gap}]

[FORM-POD:{the run is missing}]
[cello:{racing fragmented line}][toms:{staggered}][air:{pressure hiss rises}]

The run stays off the memory.
I remember the floor tilting
and the hatch in front of me already open
like it knew I was coming and was impatient.
Hands on the rim.
Body folding in wrong.

[FORM-GAP:{1 bar}|{single hard steel impact}|{rhythm cuts}]

The door sealing harder than the manual said it would.
Outside the tearing starts.
Long. Wet-cloth sound in metal.

[FORM-GAP:{2 bars}|{hull tear texture}|{acoustic cello glissando rises then snaps}]

Then white.

[FORM-GAP:{1 bar}|{total silence}]

Then only the small window
and the planet coming up too fast
to still be a destination.
Just a surface now.

[FORM-GAP:{2 bars}|{pulse gone}|{cello harmonic}]

[FORM-OUTRO:{one pod}]
[ship:{quiet pod ventilation}|{thin static}|{no alarm rhythm}]
[CR5+drums+metal:{gone}][voice:{almost whispered}]

The scans said habitable.

[FORM-GAP:{1 bar}|{single isolated piano note}]

I’m in the pod.
The pod is leaving.
Whatever’s left of the ship is staying behind
with the rest of the wake cycles
that stay unfinished.
Green on the old readouts.
Wrong blue already in the glass.

[FORM-GAP:{2 bars}|{cello low D}|{radio static drains away}]

Here we go.

[TERMINATE:{one short static burst}|{hard cut}|{no musical resolution}]
