[much earlier on the ship/ station, Cell block D]
Kylar woke up when he heard a sound the the door of his cell.
A guard opened the door "get up, your chosen"
Kylar did as he was told, holding in his emotions, his thoughts, just acting as he was told, he did not wanted to ruin this chance.
he had heard rumors about this plan to send criminals to earth, guards speaking to each other, mostly with disbelieve and disgust.
Kylar stepped out of his cell and looked down the hallway, it seemed that from his block only he was chosen or others had already been picked up or were going to be picked up later.
"Kylar Steck"
At the mention of his name he looked back, surprise filled his face when he noticed one of the councils elder members, surrounded by a ton of guards, but that was to be expected.
"Before you step in your pod, I have ordered the guards to give you your old sword back, there are a lot of children with a homicidal past getting send down as that there may still be animals that likely have evolved into dangerous beasts, I hope you take it on yourself to guard the others from these dangers"
Kylar was surprised to hear this, sure he was only thrown in jail for owning and practicing with a sword, but why would the council ask him this.
"why?" was the natural responce.
"I know you dont trust us adults, the psych's we had talking with some of you had reported that, but we also know your not as bad as the others, that you might guard the younger ones at least, that is all I ask"
Kylar nodded, perhaps this one was not as bad "if danger comes I will help those in need, but not for you"
The council nodded to Kylar response "that is fine"
[some time later before the drop]
Kylar was guided trough a section of the station he did not know, he looked around, taking in the hallway.
He had heard there would be more then 2 drop ships, yet till now he has not noticed anything beside the one he was supposed to go to, making him wonder if anything about this would be true in the end...
Then he could see it, a door leading into the pod, still he could only see one pod, but if there is one, there might be others in the end.
The guard tapped his shoulder and Kylar turned around, with that the guard unlocked his handcuffs and gave him a something he had not seen in a long time, his sword.
Kylar took it from the guard who was a little nervous, well its to be expected.
It did not help when Kylar slowly but surely pulled the sword halfway out of its sheath to check its condition before pushing it back again and step into the pod, he was the first it seemed and took a spot all the way in the back.
[current time]
Kylar opened his eyes slowly, he had not noticed one thing of the trip having fell in his first deep sleep in, he did not even know anymore...
The pod was empty, the door opened and he could see brown and green stuff trough it.
He seemed to be the last one to wake up and get out of the pod, the belt system had jammed as he failed to unhook it.
great start, did we crash or something?
He pulled his sword out of its sheet, actually surprised that the kids that were labeled a danger had not killed him or stolen his sword, and cut the belt, stumbling forwards, the pod was not in a stable position at all.
slowly he walked out, his sword still drawn and his eyes fell on the chaos in front of him, he cursed inward at the sight of dead children and all the other crap, his shoot the reality off him, getting a feeling as if he got disconnected from the world and did not let the panic get the better of him.
He walked, first things first, gather and calm down all the survivors.
He had seen a rather large rock and climbed on it, pointed his sword in the air for some reason he did not know, but he wanted to get everyone their attention so it might help
"SHUT UP AND CALM DOWN!!!"
he waited for the people around him to become quite and look before he lowered his arm.
"I know the situation is bad, kids are dead, others are wounded, but if we let all this chaos drive us, non of us will live past today, so calm down, we need to start making sure we can survive, if the wounded ones can go or be brought to the pod, then some of us can check the wounds in a more sheltered situation, further we need food, water, a better shelter then the pod, we need fire and something called wood, so anyone that can do any of those task, tell me now so we can dived the task, I know there are people with more mental issues" npt wanting to cause panic with saying homicidal "but in order for any of use to survive the next 24 hours, please set your issues aside"
