==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: We made it...== | |||
===by David Martens=== | |||
SD: 2260.365 | |||
MD: Entering Arcturus atmosphere | |||
Scene: EscapePod 13 | |||
<Snip from Scot> | |||
Suddenly, the portacomp chirped with the arrival of some new information. | |||
"Captain, something is coming across the emergency channels- seems an Orion | |||
slave ship has exploded in the upper atmosphere." | |||
Steele walked over, leaning over Gar's shoulder. "That tune sounds familiar," he | |||
muttered. | |||
"In the key of Stile," Gar agreed. "I'm having trouble piercing the interference | |||
caused by the explosion on this thing, but it looks like the largest pieces of | |||
debris are coming down in this area," he said, pointing to an area about 20 | |||
kilometers southwest of New Detroit. | |||
"All right then- let's get ready. Go find DeSimms and have him rendezvous with | |||
our friends," Steele said. | |||
"Let's finish this and go home." | |||
<End of Snip> | |||
ARr'Rhiana rubbed the back of her head where she had bumped against the ceiling | |||
of the escapepod at the launch. The explosion of the Orion slave ship hadn't | |||
exactly gone as planned. Initially everything was going as calculated, a small | |||
explosion blowing up the engines spreading enough debris to cover up for the | |||
launch of the escapepods. | |||
But then things went wrong, Hemux had calculated the exact time they needed to | |||
be far enough from the remains of the ship to be safe, but somewhere on the ship | |||
there must have been a hidden load of weapons or explosives or something that | |||
went KA_BOOOM much sooner and with more force then expected. | |||
The shockwave had hit the pods hard and made them shake like they where going to | |||
fall apart. But now it seemed they where going down as she had foreseen., she | |||
only hoped the other s where also fine and they would be able to meet up with | |||
the rest of the team soon. | |||
The surface was coming up to her with great speed, but she had to wait till the | |||
last possible moment to engage the emergency - engines to land safely. If she | |||
activated them to soon, the radar and planetary sensor - grids would pick them | |||
up and before they would get out of the pods, their would be armed forces to | |||
find out what was going on. | |||
She was counting down 3 - 2 - 1 ... And engaged the engines, with a rough and | |||
abrupt bump she snapped tight in her saftybelts as the pod was slowed down, | |||
more... more ... but not enough as she thought as suddenly things became dark | |||
and the pod smacked to the surface. I slid on a hundred or so metres, | |||
destroying a barn, a small garage and a fence and then it went silent. Well, at | |||
least besides the ticking sound fo the pod cooling down and a fire that started | |||
from the heat of the engines. | |||
Minutes later Hemux stumbled out the pod and dropped to the floor, coughing and | |||
blinking her eyes to get the dizzy feeling away. She stood up and wiped a bit | |||
of blood from her cheek where she had got a scar. Things started to go blur as | |||
she noticed someone armed approaching her. And just before she collapsed into | |||
unconsciousness she heard a familiar voice shouting to her, I have her, it's | |||
Hemux... "Steele??" she groaned and then she closed her eyes and hit the | |||
floor... | |||
<<<NRPG>>> | |||
Well, I squeezed one more out before midnight (at least here in Belgium...) So | |||
add this one to your reply - list scot! | |||
Happy 2010 everyone! | |||
Respectfully, | |||
