The Triangle of Life

In a few years from now, earthlings launch a spaceship filled with humans of every conceivable race, occupation and age. Should anything ever happen to earth, the species will survive.

Centuries later, nothing disastrous has happened. We are incredibly super-tech and our spaceships are exploring the galaxies.

I am on one of these spaceships.

On our journey, we bump into that first spaceship of humans who were sent to preserve humanity.

We discover, their water system has been polluted*. They are going insane**.
They only have a 1 in 6 chance of survival.

To prepare for any emergencies, the ship executes disaster drills.
Men, women and children start ducking under their desks in the typical 'duck and hold' position.

At which point I scream... "No.... that's not the way to do it. You will DIE! Lie in the foetal position NEXT to the object. It's the TRIANGLE OF LIFE!!!!"***

And wake up.
