Sanctuary Rig - Long Haul lyrics

The crew of the Innova Park Mining Corporation ship prepared their final checklist. They'd gone through this rigmarole a hundred times before, of course, but still it never got any easier. As they prepared their stasis pods for the months of suspended animation which lay ahead of them, Captain Jonathan Bagger knew... "You OK, Wolf? You've got that look again." Debs could always tell when her Captain was uneasy. "I'm fine." "Not another one of your premonitions...!" Wolf was famous for his second sight. "Can you give me a hand to recalibrate the modulation rotary?" "b**h!", Wolf muttered under his breath. He hated Debs.

He knew that her stasis pod was going to malfunction. He knew this because he had programmed it to malfunction. He was going to k** Debs. And then he'd be free. Until he tracked down the next one. "Crew to final takeoff positions", crackled the intercom, "preparing to open the space doors." "OK everyone, see you on the other side!" said Wolf. Debs winked and whispered, "Nighty night, babe, unless you fancy waking me a little earlier..." Wolf didn't. Quite the reverse... The space doors slid silently open, and Captain Bagger and his crew of eleven vanished into hyperspace. Only ten would return...
