A frozen nightscape

You open the door gazing upon a vast almost flat plain before you, a tremendous amount of sea ice, your ship dug in deep into the ice, but it never reached any water. You look out into the distance, the light from your helmet becoming engulfed in the black ink like darkness. Above you can see the stars shining above you while a black ink like patch rolls gently across the sky.

"Strange, place," you say, the wind is howling.

"Yeah" Haruka nearly whispers, she sounds almost in a daze.

"You ok?" you ask, turning to face her.

Haruka just points up, as you turn to face what it is she was pointing at you see the burning wreck of The Andromeda entering the atmosphere. Your mind reels at seeing it. In your mind just hours ago you were on that, in your account, your parents were just alive on that ship; that was your last real connection to Ear-

"-I think we should try to find some kind of life or something we could use to survive." Haruka says, over the comms, pulling you out of your thought while her statement seems to trail off towards the end.

"Yeah, we should stick together," you say, looking back at her quickly, your suit echoing the command.

"Sure," she recomposes herself.

Ok, you start by looking for some source of freshwater. While you had the water reclamation filter, you could not survive on 5 gallons of water. So with that goal, you and Haruka head off with great trepidation & weapons in hand into the unknown wastes.
