Oh, I forgot to mention last chapter, Willpower was destroyed before it was able to burn, and all the Atlantians were killed when the rocket fell down on them after the engines were destroyed. So, yeah. Resilience is alive an well though, which makes the total species population 156.
I woke up on the ground a few hours later. The first thing I noticed was that my ARC was shattered and broken. The bottom wire was missing and half of the top wire was gone, and most of the visor was broken off. I sat up and saw that three of the bridge crew was lying on the ground near me. I looked around and saw two other members working to salvage from the wreck. I managed to stand up, but I had been hurt really bad in the crash and everything hurt all over. I climbed up into the ship next to them and started to help them find useful supplies. "I'm gonna set security level to red until we have a self sustaining camp set up, okay?" Security level red was where nobody used names, just call signs on radios and didn't reveal any details to outsiders. Since there were only six of us left, we would be going as alpha, bravo, charlie, delta, echo, and foxtrot.
"Sure thing alpha. "
"How are the others doing?"
"They'll live, but it'll be a bit until they recover completely. We were waiting for you to wake up before we moved anywhere. I started to set up the camp in the crash streak"
"Okay. We'll stay here until everyone is awake and then we'll figure out what to do. How much supplies do we have?"
"We got the supplies from the bridge escape pods, which gives everyone 20 days of rations, a light rifle and pistol, three grenades, flashlight, tent, and other survival gear. "
"Okay. We'll stay here for a few days. "
"Alright, is everyone ready to leave here?" it had been a few days since we crashed, and we were the only people who survived the crash. Everyone had healed up nicely, and we were ready to travel wherever we needed to. We had pack up earlier today so that we could leave, and now all we had to do was decide where to go. Hope was left in orbit, and exterior cameras had located a large tree about five days travel from here. My ARC screen was broken, but I kept the earpiece so I could still talk to ARC, but not get the visors. I turned the hour hand on the watch to 4. A holographic mini map appeared above the watch. I added a rally point to the map, and everyone was immediately able to see it. "This is our destination. There was a reference to this point in a file my ARC found while on the rocket. I'm certain that we can find shelter there and maybe get help from anyone living their. We have no knowledge of any intelligent life, but I think that some exists on this planet. We do not want to start a war here. We just need help to survive. "
Everyone agreed and we began to walk towards the rally point.
