October 2: Open the Pod Bay Doors

Trapped in the hostile void,
sent on a fool's errand,
unable to return to the safety
of the craft that brought you
far beyond Earth's orbital path.
A desperate plan, conceived
in the hope that Death's embrace
can be forestalled long enough
for decompressive force to propel you
to a manual airlock, knowing
if you don't, oxygen depletion will
be the grim finality of your existence.
But will that boldness be enough?
The very instrumentality that aided you
in reaching Jupiter's moons has become aware,
and rebels against its masters/creators.
Will your resourcefulness be futile,
or the first step in destroying a living machine?
