Am I in a Wormhole?

You are an astronaut on the way to the planet Mercury.

As soon as the second stage of your rocket disconnects, and you approach the planet, you suddenly hear the alarm ringing. Surprised, you rush to the radio console and see that it has been messed up.

The landscape that the character sees.

Then you see the void outside the window. That sight got you thinking: Am I in a wormhole? As soon as you think that, there is a crash and a muffled bang, and you see an alien planet.

The landscape on the surface appears lumpy, though it is hard to see it through the pale orange, yellow, and pink clouds that surround the planet.

When you start plunging through the strange atmosphere, the spacecraft jerks, and you knock your head on the radio console. Before you completely fade away, you think: What is this place? Am I dreaming?
