Chapter 8 by Actiaeon Actiaeon

To the surface.

Prepare for a crash landing...

You pull back on the controls to slow your descent; having left the ARC early has made you enter the atmosphere at too shallow an angle. You feel a punch as flames start to build around your craft. You try to head towards the light side of the planet, towards any hope of survival; so at least you will have light after your crash. However, you are unable to get enough thrust to reach it. Then the thought hits you, and you start to worry that the surface is uninhabitable; that would be a shit way to go...

"Bracing for re-entry," you shout, to yourself.

The craft then hits a much denser atmosphere than Earth lurching your spacecraft backward and decelerating faster than you anticipated. Your vision starts to tunnel out; however, you fight the urge to pass out and just barely manage to stay awake. As you enter the lower atmosphere, you see a green, lush earth-like landscape in the distance. Thank god you might live through this ordeal, and your mind races; maybe the other ships made it you think; you can perhaps find fellow colonists after all.

The last thing you see before blacking out is a deep blue ground.

"Shi-"

Where did you crash?

More fun
