Stranded : The New Dawn

by Admiral Hawk

A captain was taking his ship out of port for the first time, and awakens to find himself alone on an alien planet without anything but his suits AI, Scar, and the bridge of his ship... (Rated T just in case :P ) (Also, this story was originally written just for fun, so don't be too harsh please! [However, comments / constructive critisim is cool! :D ])

Captains Log: Day one: 0956

Today, almost everything that could go wrong went wrong. Once the "New Dawn" left port yesterday, all systems looked fine, so we went up to light speed, turned on auto pilot, and went to sleep. I awoke on this planet, this morning, in the wreckage of the bridge and the captians deck, on a alien world, somehow with enough oxygen in the atmosphere to survive. However, as soon as I awoke, I saw my radiation alarm beeping. I put on a emergency pressure suit, and it stabalized my system. The planet appears to have radation levels that are harmful in hours. If my calculations are correct, I could have slept for a maximum of three or four days more before death. This means that while an unconcious crew member might die of radiation, they have a higher chance of survival than I initally expected. I mean, come on, if you didn't die in the crash, you aren't going to be out cold that long... Well, lets hope so anyway. I haven't done much yet other than survey my surroundings. From what I can see, the best hope for any survivors would be if they crashed to the west in the swamp, or to the north in the mountains. My largest concern for the sake of survivors is that some areas of the ship had minimal back up power or emergency rations. Nobody expected any problems so no one was ready for an evacuation into the escape pods. Thankfully the bridge of the "New Dawn" had some, so I have enough food to last a while. I need to find the solar panels in the escape pods and figure out how to get them working, because the bridges back up power is not going to last forever.
