The Sparrow in the Amazon
Down on the floor of the Amazon River lies the SS Ark One. The Sparrow managed to escape with seconds to spare. Through the portal hole in the portal station, the Sparrow stole the ship and was on her way into another world. She had to get away. And she did, the only problem was she didn’t know what planet she was on, where she was, or when she was. She thought she might have accidentally time travelled in the process. The other problem was she hit her head off the control panel, knocking herself out, and the ship sank to the very bottom of the river. She had no idea of this yet, she decided to hit a bunch of random buttons to see where she would end up.
