-------------------------------------------------------

The ship was state of the art for space travel, to land a job of any position on this baby was a dream come true for Kieren and his band of friends. Settling into the shares cabins had been easy for the group as they'd shared barrics before at school and had grown up together.

Bozzi was their 'leader' and a typical solider grunt, he for a security slot, Izzy was a wiz when it came to piloting a big ship like this with many people all working together to get the ship to even more. Morris worked in the kitchens providing food for the ship, Oril worked in the engines, maintaining them and so on. Kieren was a mechanic, a all around mechanic yet he specialized in Robotics programming and software and hardware interface. He had nee granted a job to help keep the ship running smoothly by making sure the AI and computers where running smoothly throughout the ship.

The first week on the ship after the launch had gone so smoothly that the 5 friends couldn't believe their luck, more so with the ships projected run going through some unexplored planets in the outer quad. Kieren was in his element helping the senior robotics officer with a project he had been tasked with, building a body for the ships AI, some of the crew found it odd just talking to a empty room when they were talking to the AI.

The room the body was being built in was a escape pod of sorts aswell, the officer wanted to preserve his work in any situation. That made it the first room for Kieren to think of when the ship was hit by a rouge asteroid cluster, the kitchens with their explosive cook wear was the first place to be hit. Morris lost his arm in the explosion. Oril was trapped in the engines deck and was yelling at them to get to the escape pods as fast as they could before the reactor blew. Bozzi hauled a unconscious Morris into the lab with a bad cut on his own shoulder and one of his eyes badly bleeding aswell.

"Kieren get this thing ejected already!" Bozzi shouted in pain as he and a crying Izzy strapped into the build in seat on the wall. Izzy had watched her fellow pilots get sucked out when the bridge air locks blew, she had barely made it out, she clutched the ships data pads in her arms as she cried.

Kieren moved over to the console and began to push buttons and enter codes. 'Airlock sealing, please stand by.' the consoles robotic voice sounded, it wasnt the AI.... Kieren hoped that it was smart enough to move it's self and it's files into this room, as this is where it's body was.

"Ejecting Science pod H-8, Please hold on." the robotic voice sounded again as the room shook, from both the explosions and the pod ejecting it's self from the ship. Like all the life pods and escape pods on the ship it was programs to scan for the closest planet and to land there. With in moment the pod was floating away from the exploding Nexis Blue, faintly Kieren could see the outlines of other escape pods, they where all heading to the nearby green planet.

Kieren slumped to the floor....adrenaline still pumping threw him yet he had no will to stand, his legs burned and hurt from the gashes and burns he'd received in a blast and just now he was beginning to feel how they hurt.

"Pod H-8 come in....Pod H-8 this is Commanding officer Greenly." the commanding voice sounding threw the speakers on the console.

"Officer Greenly! Private Bozzi Uncli reporting!" Bozzi struggled to stand and lumbered over to the console.

"Private it's good to see you made it, how many with you?" Greenly asked

"Just myself and three others sir....all but one severely injured." Bozzi reported like the solider he was.

"According to the scanners your groups pod will be landing a bit away's from the rest of us.. stay put where you land, or as close to it as you can. We'll make contact away and see if it's safe to regroup." The officer saluted Bozzi who mimicked it before the console went back to its normal data streams.

Izzy was shakily using a first aid kit to bind the bloodied stump of a shoulder that Morris had left and Morris was thankfully passed out. Bozzi sat down beside Kieren, the pod was moving smoothly, the console informing them about their descent to the planet.
