One Way Ticket

The 100 have landed but what if the Ark never makes it? They are alone and must fend for themselves without any help from the Ark. (Trying to keep it as true to the storyline as possible while changing what I would like. Please let me know how I'm doing.)

1. Prologue

The Ark… a mess of metal forged together from twelve space stations but it's home or at least it was home. It became the home to remaining human population around a hundred years ago when nuclear war destroyed the planet. Earth became uninhabitable due to nuclear fallout and we've been living in space ever since.

But now we're on our way back, back to this planet that we've only seen from space. A hundred of us juvenile delinquents were sent down in this rickety old drop ship to see if the Earth was survivable or not yet. Why us? Its simple, we're expendable. We are the black sheep of the Ark. We were locked up for crimes we did waiting just for the day we turn eighteen. On that day we would either be released back into the community or floated by the council. At least now we have a chance at freedom, even if it is on a supposedly un-survivable Earth.
