Having spent much of the early morning having no luck scanning for, or trying to contact other pods, Key activates the pod's homing beacon and grabs his pack. The storm last night was all lightning, thunder, and high winds. There was no...

The one pod turned out to be the two that Alice had set to follow theirs. While one actually managed to soft-land, the other crashed and the side is ripped wide open, and equipment is scattered around.
When Key gets into the good pod, it's alarm is...

Having left the riverbed behind hours ago, Key stops for a moment in a clearing to rest. He has yet to actually see any of the native creatures. He's heard them skitter at his approach, and Drudge has registered over 600 unique calls. Calls that, as of...

Barely conscious, Key hangs from the straps of his seat. The pod's nose down, wedged between two large rocks, the window isn't broke. Below him, Alice lays across the window lays. She's still breathing, and that's all he knows. Drudge has his nanites...

Alice sits in the pod, watching a readout of Key's vitals. Even though he's sleeping, his heart rate is still near 90 and his blood pressure it too high.
"We need to get him to relax," she states absently. "Administer a light sedative, an...

The results of the simulations are less than encouraging. While the maneuvering thrusters still work, the hull won't be able to tolerate much torque, so stopping the pitchpole has been time consuming. Doing it so the hull doesn't tear apart has been...

Frustrated, Key slams his hand on the console. He's managed to restore this room's seal, so there's air. Unfortunately, while he was crossing the breach, main power went out.
He's tried everything he knows, he just cannot direct main power back to...

"Come on, Key. Fight."
Alice gives him five more chest compressions, than two breaths. CPR. She's never had to do it before. Learned it. Had to, it's standard with any medical course.
Though if her AI hadn't had to heal her after her suit popped,...
