Save Jacob

Stood there in a dangerous situation you can feel the spaceship shifting back and forth. You were the best in your field for handling stressful training missions. Receiving top marks as you gauge the position your in.

Your plan of actions becomes clear in your mind as your left foot steps onto the thruster box controls. Placed in the centre of the cockpit it's the most strengthened place. You stretch your right leg out placing it on the metal frame of the glass strut.

Leaning in close to Jacob's face you stare intently at him. You press your fingers to his neck and find a slow pulse. He's alive.

"Jacob, can you hear me?"

His eyes flicker for a few seconds before opening. They instantly go wide as he looks around before coming to rest on you.

"What happened?"

"I'll explain later, right now I need to get you out of here. I need you to release your belt. Then get ready because I'm coming right at you. Don't put your feet on the floor. Understood?"

Jacob nods smiling and then reaches down and snaps the catch on his belt open. You lunge forward grabbing him and throwing you both into the back of the spaceship.

"Thanks."

Jacob offers, looking up at you.

"Now grab onto something. This is going to be bumpy."

Both Jacob and I grab hold of the cargo netting as the spaceship swings dangerously from side to side.

The spaceship lurches from the momentum of the swinging then it's like its released as it plummets down the fifty feet to the ground.

The spaceship crashes down as you both see the cockpit take the brunt of the damage. Smashing up with the glass shattering. Some of the metal piercing the cockpit seats.

You dread to think of the outcome if you would have still been sat there.

You finally feel the ship come to a rest and crouch down shoving your feet against the smaller cargo pod door. It swings open after the second kick and you both climb out into the jungle like world.

"So now what? We don't really have supplies to survive here. Do we go searching? Spend the night in the wreckage and go out at first light? Does this place even have nights?"

You look back over at Jacob as he holds his head suddenly, he passes out. You race over to him. He's is breathing but there is a nasty cut on his forehead.
