Proxima Bound
Community Rating
Description
Humanity's last hope rests with the colonists aboard the generational starship Attenborough. Bound for Proxima Centauri, a thousand years away. Catastrophe strikes when a reactor meltdown cuts off those in the ship's front from the rear. Two factions must now struggle to survive.
With four hundred years still to travel, we join a plucky teenager, "Thief". She's found a way through the ventilation system, around the radioactive core of the ship and into the front sections. Thief brings back vital components that might help the rear-dwellers connect the ship's computer. For the first time in hundreds of years, there is hope.
But people are disappearing without a trace, and the makeshift hospital is overflowing with cases of a new virus.
It's up to Thief to embark on her toughest mission yet. To crawl through the bowels of the ship, the furthest she's ever been, and find some answers, before there's no-one left alive.
What she finds at the front of the ship, however, is terrifying

- kleptomaticRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Honestly I can't say much about this fic - it's been a hot minute since I read it.
It's a pretty decent short story and there's enough buildup - as much as possible with such a short length.
Character development comes through though which is always nice. I've read fics that are a few hundred pages without any character development.
Also, the mystery is fun, even if it's solved quickly.
Why not just give it a read?
