The job was supposed to be a simple one. Jaston, a Yar businessman who had angered the mob needed protection while he moved to the Asimaar Prelacy. To do this he purchased himself and your group tickets on the luxury liner Galileo's Vision. The trip was supposed to take you from Ken'rhael to Dragoth, then cutting through the southern Nagol Dust Cloud to Firestar and then to Daegon, then a trip through unaligned space to Duergan's Star for resupply, and then on through the Asimaar Prelacy where Jaston would ask for asylum... a little over three weeks of fun, luxury, relaxation, and sights to behold. Easiest job ever right?
Wrong.
Not even a full week into your tour, you were awoken by blaring sirens during the middle of the night. Your surroundings were bathed in the bluish glow of emergency lights and you could hear and feel the buckling and groaning of the ship. Scrambling to gather your few belongings, you managed to get yourselves and your employer into the escape pods. As the pods tumbled and spun, you were able to see the broken Galileo's Vision spewing debris, lives, and fire into the orbit of an unknown planet.
Was it a freak accident? A malfunction? Human error? Or did the mob struck back at Jaston?
The landing was rough, though you managed to survive, your employer Jaston wasn't as lucky... Well there goes your pay... You survived the first 25 hours (a little over two days for that planet) as debris from the Galileo's Vision rained down from the skies. Luckily for you, you had enough food and water for a month and the debris either fell far away from you and your pod or burnt up in the atmosphere, meteorites made from the remains of your ship.
Once it was safe you headed out, exploring, seeing what kind of planet you were on, how likely it was for you to survive if help took more than a month to get to you, and also to see if there were other survivors. You noticed the planet to be very cold which could cause problem for anyone adventuring outside the pod for prolonged periods of time without at least en enviro suit. There were also some strange electro-magnetic anomalies on the planet, which seemed to move about at random, they played some tricks with your electronics. You also found other survivors, and decided to stick with them: safety in numbers and all.
Several days later (it was a bit hard to keep exact track with days that last only 12 hours on this planet), when the worst of the electro-magnetic cleared up, you picked up a signal on the pod's locator: probably another ship. Was it rescue, or the mob coming to finish the job? You were debating whether it would be a wise decision to contact this ship when you decided to all sleep on it as the night was coming and it was deemed not prudent to go out during the night.
That night, your hands were forced a bit. Your camp was attacked by creatures you had not encountered on this planet before. Small flat, disc-like crab/spider creatures. They left horrible burnt marks on the other survivors. The only thing which saved your lives was that when you ran, the creatures seemed more interested in boring holes into your escape pods than running after you... You ran for what seems like hours until you finally reached it. A landed ship, bearing the Federation Navigation Systems Inc. colors.
Is it for real? Salvation at last?
Wrong.
