[b][i]WARNING!

WARNING!

SLIPSTREAM FAULT DETECTED. EMERGENCY EXIT PROTOCOLS IN EFFECT

DEADLY CAPACITOR DISCHARGE IMMINENT

DROP FROM SLIPSTREAM SPACE? [Y/N][/i][/b]

[i]One blunder after the next...[/i] High Marshal Turek'sum groaned to herself. She firmly pressed the confirmation key, and soon the white light enveloping the viewport of the Trikolo-Class Destroyer PNSS [i]Might of a Thousand Suns[/i] cleared as an emergency Slipstream drop was enacted. An emergency access tunnel being opened. 

Slipstream Faults were common as the transition to the more "efficient" HyperJump Engine developed by the Translight Aerospace Corporation meant kinks still needed to be ironed out. It was not surprising if a single ship needed to drop from a fleetwide jump, be forced to wait a few days for the capacitors to charge again, and then make another jump to regroup. 

What caught Marshal Turek'sum off her guard wasn't [i]why[/i] the fault occurred, but [i]where[/i] it landed them. Suddenly the destroyer was facing a large, colorful planet surface, and the ship jumped relatively close, being caught in the planet's gravity. The captain was about to order an exit burn but she realized that at their position it would heavily damage the ship. "A planetside landing it is, then." she grumbled.

The Trikolo fired a sequence of turning jets as it righted itself, a slight amount of friction being caught on its two aft stabilizing wings. As it made approach to the surface said friction increased dramatically until a burning fire enveloped the warship as it made a steady descent down. Once about 70 kilometers from the surface she ordered the ship to protract its landing pedestals and fire liftoff rockets. This was a praised versatility of the Trikolo-Class; it's able to land planetside if needed and doesn't require docking equipment most warships need. For the ship to take off, however, was a different story. 

The ship had eventually reached a clearing among mountains as seen from geographical mapping systems and the ship drifted to that region. It landed on a large plateau maybe 1 or 2 kilometers in diameter, slowly and carefully touching down. After this an antenna was protruded from the top of the ship, and a support beacon for the nearest launch-capable fleet began broadcasting.
