Space Encounter by Melaron

My first submission, a very short story about a spaceship encounter. This description is too short for submission but revealing details would be counter-productive with a story of this short length. This is mainly a test run to figure out how the system works.

Bottom line: If I continue writing I will surely revisit Sci-Fi (huge fan), but I probably won't extend this story. And thank you for commenting!

I did decide to keep the options minimal so I could learn how to use Quest without dedicating too much time to my first effort. I intended this as a stand-alone short story, and that effected the writing style I used and choices I made to a point that I feel I would be losing something by extending it. I hesitate to say anything that might bias anyone's read-through, but perhaps it is enough to say that I was deliberate when I chose the consequences. I consider this something of a "what-if?" scenario, my intention being to draw the reader into the scenario and hopefully provoke some thought based upon it, and its outcomes.

This story is not as short as the description suggests. Would you, perhaps, consider writing more than two endings, and more consequential choices?
