It came from the stars, falling to earth like a wounded dragon.

Having suffered critical damage in the Warp and several catastrophic system failures, the Fortune’s Dominion had finally come to a stop. Fragments and chunks of it that had been ripped out like entrails were scattered all around its final stop. The panic, the confusion, the chaos that gripped the ship finally gave way to an uncomfortable silence. There was no more wind rushing, no more adrenaline-filled hearts, no more terrified screams. Now there was only the sound of broken equipment mixed with cries of pain and anguish and a distant sound of alarms.

People were trapped under slabs of metal or barricaded behind doors. Dead bodies were everywhere, crumbled or disfigured in unnatural and nauseating ways. Slowly, survivors began to get up and try to dig one another out, first bringing them to whatever open areas where left intact and then on to the planet’s surface once they found out that there were few open areas left. Spaces who had spent generations aboard ships dropped to their feet, their bodies not used to true gravity or natural air.

There was a slow realization that of the ship’s nearly 200,000 passengers and crew, less than an 1/10th had survived, maybe 1/8th at the most optimistic. The burnt clearing the ship had made was being filled with the wounded, but the dead and the dying were piling up faster. Voidsmen, pilgrims, crewmen, guardsmen, officers, all were simply being thrown into a heap. The captain and the bridge crew were no where to be seen, the access lifts and shafts to the bridge itself destroyed or blocked off.

It didn't take a tech priest to realize that the state of the ship was beyond salvage, at least not without a fully equipped dockyard. A growing uneasiness took hold of the survivor's minds. Even in the best case scenario, they have be stranded on an uncharted planet for a long, long while.


[hider=Post Suggestions]
This is for people who are looking for ideas to write about for their posts.

-Saving people still trapped in the ship
-Trying to cut through destroyed bulkheads with a team of NPCs or each other
-Trying to save the bridge crew and officers with a team of NPCs or each other
-Trying to escape from whatever terrible situation you are in at the moment
-Tending to the wounded

(Proper settlement sim stuff will start happening in the next post. People who have been approved before the start of the IC and thus get to pick one item or thing to drag out, please wait until settlement stuff begins before dragging them out.)
