A distant rumble shook the small science pod, Kieren pulled himself over to a viewing window and saw the Nexis Blue exploding as another asteroid crashed threw it. "Oril....." Kieren felt a pain in his heart knowing that his best friend and boyfriend was now dead for sure... the engineering deck didn't have any escape pods... and it had been sealed off after the kitchens exploded... so Oril had been cut off before they could all get together to safety.... The red haired mechanic remembered Oril shouting at them over the comms to get to safety... and at Kieren to not worry about him.

"Ren? Come on we have to look at your wounds...." Izzy's shaky but calm voice pulled Kieren away from the window and looking towards his female friend, her hands were bloodied yet it wasnt her blood, she had spent a lot of time trying to stem the bleeding from Morris's wound. She had managed to do just that despite having left the medical training unit years ago when she found she couldn't handle cutting things open. Slowly Kieren let the Asian girl pull him to one of the seats built into the wall.

Bozzi stayed by the console incase the Officer called back, he griped the edges of the console tightly when the pod shook as it approached the planet. "Preparing for planetary landing... buckling up is recommended." The pods robotic voice sounded from the console.

"Alright every one strap in....Kieren this thing has self navigating systems right? No manual override?"Bozzi asked turning to his friends, Morris was still passed out and strapped into his seat, it was odd to see their lively chef friend with one arm....Izzy didn't have more then a few scratch... Kieren 's legs looks bad, bleeding from deep gashes and burns. Bozzi himself knew that he'd loose his wounded eye... his vision in it was already going dark.

The red haired mechanic looked up from where Izzy was applying a salve to his burns and winced. "There is a manual override cockpit over by the main protect....Dr. Burett, Melee wanted one installed just incase the auto pilot got shot." He said with a hiss as Izzy treated his wounds. His dark green eyes moved over to where the main project was... inside a cylindrical container, floating in a bio mass liquid was the body of the ships AI, well what they had it it... a hand and one leg where not built yet. Kieren had been working on reinforcing the legs so the body could carry more weight then a normal human could, without damaging its own joints and the like.

Bozzi bit his lip, eyes travailing to Izzy, she knew almost every flying system there was, he hoped she could pull it together to steer them away from things in needed.

Izzy's hands where shaking as they wrapped bandages around Kieren's legs, she's had to cut his torn pants to the point of being short shorts almost, thats how much of his legs had been hurt. "Pod H-8 is descending at optimal velocity factors....buckling up is still recommended as long range scanners have found the planet to be densely covered in forests." the robotic voice echoed around the cabin as the group began to strap in, they had been in simulated drops before... but they doughted that this was going to be the same.

The walls rattled and shook as the pod began to break threw the atmosphere of the planet below.
----------------------------------
About half way into the decent the console said that their landing path was blocked by trees.... well seeing as the pods scanners and said the planet was mostly forest they expected that. Izzy unbuckled herself and went to the area where the manual override was and managed to move the pod onto a new course, the young pilot had managed to land the pod into a small clearing between the trees, she had scratched up one of the pods sides in the landing, but they where all safe, for now.
