OK, here is my story. I went a little over the word count, but further editing was cutting into the meat of the story, and better to fail on word count than story content.
The Winning story is here
Hopefully you enjoy this entry.

Here's a short and sweet piece commenting on how people are not always as simple as fiction sometimes portrays them.

Day 1:
My name is Felix Stanbury. I am an astrometric scientist for the Blackbird-class ship Mirror Lake. Maybe...I should say that I was a scientist for the ship. Now it's in a dozen or so pieces thanks to an attack that tore through the aft section approximately three hours ago. I managed to get into an evac suit before the breach sucked me out, but I can't speak for the others. Comms are down and I can't see any of the other ships we accompanied. I've a few days of water and nutritional paste built into the suit to hold me over until help arrives, but in this uncharted corner of the universe there is little chance of a friendly (or even unfriendly. I'd take being ransomed by pirates if it gets me home) hauler catching me on the gravidar.
So I drift.
Day 2:
I tried at least a dozen comms channels this ômorningö when I found out how to adjust the frequency. Each one hissed with static, save the eighth one that I came to discover that it shared one of the frequencies of a nearby pulsar. I can't see it, but its rhythm is unmistakable: Hiss...tic. Hiss...tic. They're rare enough that maybe a search party will know to look for me and other survivors here.
Day 3:
Incompetent *******s! They knew we were going through the wormhole and would survive the trip. They sent a probe through and it came back without a scratch! They should be out here without a shower or good sleep for a few days, not me. When I get back, I'm going to bring this to CONCORD and there'll be Hell to pay for this. I might get a nice settlement instead of that if I make a good case, then I can retire with the wife on some nice property overlooking the ocean. That is if I'm not an old shell of a man when they find me. They will. I know they'll find me.
Day 5:
I bet they heard me say all of that and are cloaked-up somewhere, laughing at me. I take it all back, alright? Just get me out of this suit. I can smell my sweat and grime even with the filters working.
I'll go back to work without a word. Honest! Just pick me up!
Day 7:
I wrote a poem.
There once was a young Caldari
who found his nutri-paste tasted like salami,
and the rescue fleet debated
if the lonely man **********d,
all while he shouted that of his outbursts he was sorry!
Get the message, guys? I really am sorry!
Day 10:
They hated my poem. The pulsar couldn't care less, but I don't see it writing new material.
Day 11:
For ****'s sake! Why can't I stop pitching? It's always a few degrees at a time and I can't make the suit thrusters level it out. STOP PITCHING!
Day 12:
Okay, keep pitching. Just don't ask me to like it.
Hiss...tic. Hiss...tic to you too. I'm sure you're in on this.
Day 16:
You can hear me? Oh...oh my god...YOU CAN HEAR ME! I'M RIGHT HERE! I'm waving both arms! Yes! Yes, I know I'm getting low on nutri-paste, I've been out here for days! I've...oh, ****. You're just the damn suit alert. Do something about it, will you? Pretty please?
...*******.
Day 18:
Plastic's rather chewy when you think about it and it has that nutri-paste residue in it for flavor. Just what the marooned spacer needs.
Day 20:
****ing pulsar's interrupting my feeding-tube spaghetti. Hang on a moment while I give it a piece of my m-....

Alright, well here it is, my first go at this sort of thing, "Second Chances." I'll tell you now, it's well over the 3000 word limit, and I wanted to write more. The second half seems rushed and didn't develop at all like I'd initially wanted. But c'est la vie and hopefully it's interesting enough that you won't mind the length.
Oh, and lolRP.

"Alright, try to connect the sublight datastream emitter to the socket in the third row. Once you are finished fastening the bolts make sure there is no gap between both ends. If there is you better make sure it is sealed completely with nanite paste."
Working in a vacuum with a thick suit is hardly to be called entertaining. Luckily there's still gravity plating so the men don't flow around the room they're working in.
The lab is located in the deep midst of a class 6 wormhole. The system is occupied by hundreds of sleeper drones and a small research POS, owned by a privatly funded research corp. Sleepers where hunted down and stripped of their resources to povide building blocks for new technology.
"All the gaps are sealed sir.. It would appear that the module is ready for the initial testing."
"Double check to be sure. I don't want this thing to blow up in our faces. Besides, i'm sure the pilots outside would be rather happy to pull the trigger on us if we mess this up..they went through alot of trouble getting us these resources and their CEO will not be happy if we fail again."
Next to the Sleepers being harvested, materials where also dug up from the surface of the planets. A new expansion in mining technologies made it possible for factories and mining structures to be placed on strategic points across the planets. They mined for new and intruiging materials. The nature of the wormhole systems ensured that minerals and other resources developed in a myriad of ways, usually much different from K-Space planets and their atmospheres.
"Initial testing is being started. Pressure systems at full levels and in the green. Power supply is stable at 93% capacity. Inserting parameters into the command module to enable automated safeguards."
"Watch out with the power input. Raising it to fast will overload the core and cause a burn in of the plasma conducters and we'll have another melt down."
The small POS already had to be replaced twice while the scientists tried to perfect their design. Twice it failed miserably with either a massive explosion or simply a complete meltdown on all the POS systems and a resulting deadlock.
"All systems still in the green sir. Power slowly increasing to 97%. No sign of failure in any systems."
"Just keep your eyes open Hanrek. At the first sign of trouble i want to be able to shut it down before we enter a cascade again."
"Yes sir."
"Jilastu?"
"Yes Hanrek."
"What if we are successfull now? Will we released and able to return to our families? I miss my little girl Sha'tinn"
"I'm not sure to be honest. I'm putting trust in our...employers...to keep their end of the bargain."
"Well if you have faith then I have faith."
"I do Hanrek. Now just proceed with the testing. Start injecting the fuel once it hits 99% power usage."
"We'll be the first to build a module under the tech 3 specifications won't we Jilastu? Put our names in the history books and gather untold riches from the-"
Alarms where ringing, horns where howling and lights where flashing. Something went wrong in the last stage..
"Shut it down! Shut it down NOW Hanrek!! The power supply is being affected by the injected fuel! There's a breach in the reactor casing through which the fuel is mixing with the plasma flows!"
"I can't shut it down Jilastu! I'm locked out of the control pannels! Power output is rising..120% above specs, 140%!
It's rising increadibly fast!! We're headed towards total meltdown!!"
"Om my god, the fuel is being injected at a far greater interval than we ever imagined..it's starting up on it own Hanrek..It's working!"
A bright flash consumed the 85 AU span system. Where once the POS was, a web of electricity, plasma and fire swirled around like it was alive. Moons where drawn into the vortex and planets followed soon after. Lastly the Pulsar and it's binairy brother where sucked in leaving nothing but a vast emptyness of space.Not even dust exists now.

"Sir. We've lost contact with the research fleet."
"Do we have any last transmissions?"
"Yes sir, video feed initiated 10 seconds before we lost contact."
"Play it."
The video showed how electricity originating from the experimental module began forming an intricate web. Suddenly plasma and fire began mixing in and the web expanded beyond imagination. That's where the feed ended.
"It would appear they came alot closer to actually having it in working condition. Shame that it decided to lead it's own life and suck everything through though. Do we have the latest science reports and their personal logs on what they changed?"
"Yes sir, received before they initiated the test."
"Good, get me 2 new scientists and start finding a new suitable system. I want that T3 cyno generator up and running so we can start colonising wormhole planets on a large scale."
"Right away sir."
"Ohh Edras? Do we have any idea where the system went to?"
"No idea sir, it didn't go anywhere we where able to track it. Possibly it went beyond the brink of all our space..Wormhole or known space sir."
"Interesting..."

Sorry for the double post thingy but the last few lines where so little i thought it wouldn't be a big problem to make it a 2 post story

This is just the start of my story. please read all at:
http://wolfpack.twoday.net/stories/silver/
"Dr. Tzel looked again at the various instruments on the table beside the patient. His favourite nurse bustled around, as efficient and crisp as the nanobots already crawling in the bloodstream of the prone form lying on the reclining chair.
In his mind he was still hearing the words of his master:
"Make him as efficient as possible. Further failures must not happen at any costs! DonÆt let me repeat myself. I want results not setbacks as with your former colleagues."
These were not his failures, Dr. Tzel knew. The basis material they had to work with was to blame and the ever-demanding master with his ever-improving wishes."
