We have an outbreak of unknown origin. We\u2019re in quarantine too, since 0800.\u201d It was Jemison. The Lieutenant detected an uncharacteristic undertone of panic in his voice.\n Elin felt the same panic rise in her gut. She took a breath and tamped it down, straining to remain professional. \u201cIf I stay at the Sentinel any longer, I won\u2019t have enough fuel and O2 to return to base. Please advise.\u201d\n \u201cSee if the Sentinel has any fuel cells they can put out into one of their docks for you. This thing keeps spreading exponentially. I think you\u2019re going to have to return to Homeworld. Can the shuttle make the jump?\u201d\n \u201cIt\u2019s not approved for multisystem travel.\u201d Elin\u2019s teeth clenched.\n \u201cLieutenant, consider it approved.\u201d\n Jemison was not the type to make a hasty decision. \u201cAre you sure, Commander?\u201d\n \u201cYes, Elin. I\u2019ll send you what data we have on the outbreak and an approval to land.\u201d\n \u201cCommander, I\u2019ve tried several times to contact the Sentinel. Yancey indicated that it has spread throughout the ship. I don\u2019t know if anyone will be there to receive me or to put out fuel cells and O2 cans.\u201d\n The comm panel blinked on, then off again. Elin heard some chatter in the background during the brief burst. Jemison\u2019s voice filled the space again after a brief silence. \u201cElin, we\u2019re no longer able to raise any signal from the Sentinel, Do you have a bio-haz suit on board?\u201d\n \u201cYes, Commander. I have one in Emergency Supply.\u201d Elin breathed in, anticipating what the officer had in mind.\n \u201cI need you to force-dock with the Sentinel and go through the airlock using the standard manual sequence. Record everything you find there and send the video to me and to Homeworld Command. This is bad, Lieutenant. Very bad. We have to find out what we\u2019re dealing with here.\u201d \nElin swallowed hard. \u201cDo you have any sense of what I\u2019ll find?\u201d\n \u201cOur people are in full haz-suits in the lab trying to work that out. It\u2019s not anything we\u2019ve seen before. Turns biological organisms into a puddle of bloody goo. Good luck on your first assignment, Lieutenant.\u201d Jemison laughed grimly. \u201cBe glad you launched yesterday before it took hold here.\u201d\n",
"eval_prompt": "Take the prompt below and create a set of criteria for hard constraints and soft constraints as well as track the word count for the story.\n\nHard constraints are things we can check easily (either the criteria is met or not). Exclude word counts from the hard constraints (we will handle that separately). Soft criteria are more subjective and require more of a judgement call but are still validatable. Make sure you capture all constraints from the prompt.\n\n---\n\nWrite a story of 750 to 800 words in third-person perspective about someone trapped in a spaceship after the outbreak of a disease at their destination. It is their first day on the job reporting to a space exploration vessel. The protagonist is alone in a small shuttle ship, and they escape infection by not docking with their destination. Make it exciting and not scary. The ending should be ambiguous. They are on a small craft with a limited range. The protagonist can interact with the crew at a star base and at the destination ship. End the story with a conversation in which someone wishes the protagonist luck.",
