Jack backed away as Maria came to she must have taken a pretty hard blow, Jack didn't know what though as the hangar of the ship was a pretty big mess now and the adrenaline was pumping from earlier. Maria asked him a rather loaded question as he tried to piece together what had happened himself. They had dropped out of the clouds on Mars and were heading down the landing path, and suddenly some projectile Jack had never seen before was already flying towards them. It was green, he had not gotten the best of looks at it really but from the small glance he had of it the shot looked like something that would come out of a plasma gun. As that did not make sense, the second shot came out of nowhere as well, but the second projectile something else entirely. Jack tried to put it together in his mind as he thought about the attack, he felt a terrible nagging in his mind, like there was something he was forgetting and needed to remember. But what the hell was it? What couldn't he remember about the second projectile, Jack visualized it in his mind, saw himself swing the ship upside down to avoid the hit, and in that brief moment when he was bringing the ship back around to stabilize it for the lands he looked at the monitors to observe the second projectile to identify it... Jack opened his eye's as they were wide, it couldn't have been... there was no way... if it was then... Jack looked at the co pilot and Maria as he barked out a command.

[b]"We gotta go, we gotta get out of this ship right now!"[/b]

Jack spoke in a panic as he quickly ran to the cargo door of the ship and broke the glass over the emergency release and dropped the cargo hatch down to the pad below. Jack quickly ran back and grabbed the black weapons case that was not wedged btween the seats and quickly grabbed Maria.

[b]"We gotta go now! Hurry move! Co Pilot grab those items strapped to the vehicle and move out now!"[/b]

Jack forcefully pulled Maria along not giving her a chance to question the reason why, getting outside the ship Jack looked up as he heard a loud shrill like whistle from somewhere above. Jack quickly speed up and gripped Maria harder as the Co-pilot came scrambling out of the ship with Maria's belongings that were left on board. He stopped at the edge of the ship as he spoke:

[b]"Commander what is going on?"[/b]

[b]"Get away from the ship now damn it!!!!"[/b]

It was too late however even when the Co-pilot tried to move away, the second projectile came raining down from the landing tunnel, the same missile from earlier which Jack had finally remember was following, a damn guided missile. The missile hit the ship head on as there was an explosion that echoed throughout the entire landing bay, Jack felt himself lift off his feet from the force of the explosion and land backwards on the metal catwalk as Maria flew on top of him knocking the breath out of him before sliding sideways. The Co-Pilot flew forward from the explosion, hitting the near by railing Maria's belongings dropped to the edge of the landing pad as the pilot fell over the rail and disappeared into the huge dark expansion below. Jack coughed hard as he slowly leaned up, the ship in front of them was now in flames and even more so in pieces, that missile had torn the ship in half, he had never seen such a strong and well guided missile in his whole life. Jack got to his feet as he felt a little woozy, feeling the back of his head he brought his fingers forward, they were dipped in fresh blood as he suddenly became dizzy and fell sideways, gripping the railing of the catwalk Jacks feet crumbled beneath him as he looked upon the ruined ship.

[b]"Them bastards... it was a god damn trap... they could have taken us out in the air but instead they let us land to make us think we had made it, then that damn missile would snuff us out unknown to us.[/b] 

Jack gritted his teeth as the realization was setting in, they were now trapped here above everything else. Jack fell down to his ass and leaned his back against the railing and his chest heaved in and out, closing his eye's he tried to catch his breath and keep conscious.

[b]"Maria are you okay? Tell me your okay!"[/b]

Jack almost yelled the last part as he felt a mild panic setting in, please tell him that at least Maria had made it... Jack rubbed his eye's as his body fell sideways and the inky blackness took hold of him.
