Chapir let out a series of loud chirps has alerts and alarms beeped and blared around him. An asteroid collided with his ship disabling the engines and putting him on a crash course with the nearby planet. He chirped unhappily at the proximity alarm flashed in his face again. Yes, he understood. He was going to crash the ship. He slammed three of his fists on the controls as he used the other three to strap into his seat. If the crash didn't kill him, he was sure the planet would. According to his sensors, the planet was 70% water and only 30% land and if he landed in water, he was done. His biology would have him sink to the bottom.
The control panel blinked at him. Yes he had something. It wasn't much but it might just be enough to steer toward the center of the land masses. He pushed on the buttons as he steered. He watched as the threat of a water landing dropped from 89 to 3 percent and then the thrusters went out. He had no control as he held down for dear life. He glanced at the screen. He would land in something called an OHIO.
