After everyone was in their suit, the chaos reached critical mass. Due to the damage to the ship carrier, the whole lower half of the ship was blasted off of the rest of it, sending them and the rest of the passenger's flying into outerspace at high speeds. Everyone that didn't have a space suit on suffocated and was flung into the void like a ragdoll. The piece of the ship flung to a celestial body, one that glowed blue. That wasn't helpful at all, since the terraformed planets looked practically the same just by looking at them.



Rotation after rotation flung passenger after passenger out of the broken deck. Some got out in escape pods, but those were immediately either shot down or crashed into as soon as they left. Soon things got a lot hotter as the ship carrier entered an atmosphere. Burning pieces of metal flew through the air. Glass burst as gravity pulled the large object down to the ground. An eternity seemed to pass, hours and hours went by until the ship crashed into the ground...



...



They were surrounded by jungle. The sound of strange animals echoed off of the trees. It was raining in torrents. The readings on their space suits would tell them that it was slightly colder than Earth's average temperature. The wreckage was all over the place. Huge chunks of ship were scattered about the tall trees. Animals ran by, panicked at the commotion. At closer observation, it became clear where they were.



Mars. The planet occupied by the Martians. The planet the Great Empire gave up on.

As the final hour approached, the ship was closing in on the landmass like a juggernaut of death and destruction. Only for the seemingly impenetrable fortress to shatter like glass the moment it struck the ground, a shockwave roaring throughout the lush forest.

What Norn had thought to be her death turned out to be nothing more than moments lost in blissful unconsciousness. As she did her best to rise up from her feet and into a battle-ready position, she found that someone was screaming intelligible words at her. Until she finally realized that it was the one who she had formed a cabal with. A sharp signal of pain coursing through her body told her that movement wouldn't be easy. Despite that she managed to atleast hold up an arm, signalling him to stop chattering.

"Slow down a bit. I am not too much of a after-impact-person. And above all to try and be not too loud."

While she couldn't quite yet tell what shape her body was in as of yet, she still had the ability to stand up. It wasn't until she looked around that she noticed that something was sticking out of her left shoulder. Namely a piece of the ship, a rod of metal that had dug fairly deep into her flesh.

"Shit."
