In 2041, the Prospect Horizon sits as the largest human-placed space station in orbit around the Earth. It has been there for the last four years, and houses a population of almost 300 scientists, technicians, astronauts and engineers, being comprised of the very best of humanity's achievements. It's a scientific station, but no less, has been put there for a good reason. In 2042, it is set to be the launch site for a return human mission to Mars, and has provided a huge volume of data of a community living in space. It has a strong future, and modules are being sent up, from countries such as Brazil, India, the ESA, NASA and Russian Space Agencies. It's an international hub, one that perhaps has proven to be the most unifying thing in humanity's history. A golden light in the sky, that shows what co-operation and a huge joint venture can do. While below the Prospect Horizon, the Earth still has a multitude of problems, the Prospect Horizon is a light to the future, to the next step in the human race's survival.

On the 5th of September, 2041, catastrophe struck the Prospect Horizon. The fragile station suddenly exploded, with explosions of the Hydrogen fuel detonating in almost each module of the station, with almost all crew killed instantly. The Solar Panels, as well as the Hydrolysis systems, power and all sources of structural integrity went out the window, and this was the end of that shining light, the future salvation that many saw above as being vaporized in a matter of seconds. All crew, lost.

Almost.

This RP will be set among the lucky handful, the group that happened to be wearing [url=http://cdn3.sbnation.com/assets/4026035/adrift.JPG]EVA Suits[/url] while they headed out for a simple engineering task, on the other side of The Greenhouse, Habitation. The stricken station has bits of it falling out of orbit, whilst other parts are simply shells- other sections still have useful segments to it left, and potentially, tiny areas where there remarkably is pressure. Because of it, quite literally, they may be the only survivors left, and they aren't going to survive very long if they wait around for rescue- if it's even coming from any station that exists. One of the team has a severely damaged spacesuit, and it is unknown if there are any parts of the Prospect Horizon that are still pressured, since oxygen levels are dipping. It's unknown if there's top-ups of oxygen that are still functional, if there's anyone else that survived, or even if there's any rescue coming. Radio comms are down. The survivors have three hours of oxygen, even if it is en route. Worst, they don't know if there any escape pods intact, and even so...will everyone out of the group survive when they find them?
