Xander was sitting in his room playing with his pets he felt grateful for sole horizon since without them his family would be suffering. He wondered how they were doing they should be six years old now about to enter kindergarten. Anyways he cant wait to get back the 6 month swap was about to happen and he would be home with them.
When Xander got the job and saw the salary he thought he was in heaven heck if there was an accident the insurance covering his family loss would make them set until his siblings got jobs. Sometime he thougth it wouldn't be a bad thing if something happened well anyways he went into the command room to oversee the docking of then new crew when something strange happened.
The regular sole horizon logo change into a dark black circle with white trim it was the Shadow Eclipse what were they doing as soon has thougth of that the shuttle parked in. He tried to disengage the pod but it was to late if he did all the air would go into the vacuum of space killing everyone in the station. The pod was releasing drones with what appeared to be "plasma bombs how could they get those there supposed to be still under developedment" xander then went to the the space company and said "attention this is not a drill there is a terrorist attack on the station everyone evacuate to the nearest drop pod"
Xander then sprinted to his room got his pets which were oblivious to what was happening but happy to see Xander he brought some food, water, dog bowls clothes, and the most important thing his dog toys and a picture of his family. He rushed to the nearest drop pod put his dogs safely in a cage and commenced the drop pod to get the heck out of there "disengaging from station ineatiating temporary life support active" a
female voice came from the pod.
As soon as the pod was about to leave the station exploded "warning landing gear damaged commencing safest landing option" Xander was sweating bullets hoping that he won't die from the crash but most of all his dogs. The pod began speaking again "generating safety exterior" Xander immediately said " what the heck is safety exterior" he soon found out the pod then release a weird substance outside that immediately hardened as he was entering Astoria's atmosphere. He couldn't believe his eyes in what he saw on the panel "how is sole horizon this advance even big government dont have technology this advance" Xander thougth but the thougth quickly left as he saw on the screen of the pod it showed the impact zone of where it was heading it was a local forest nearby was a lake with a river some mountains and a few ways away was an little settlement "not bad surroundings considering there are regions that have rivers of lava that dont cool down with volcano's and even dragons living in that environment the most dangerous thing may be a few bears and maybe wild boar" Xander said. He was preparing for the crash that was bound to happen the screen said it will happen in ten seconds but for those ten seconds for Xander felt like ten minutes he wondered if he will survive wondered if his family knew he escaped from the explosion wondered if anyone else escaped and then he crashed bringing him back to his senses.
He scanned the outside from the safety of the pod other than some fires and a few wild animals he was safe the pod itself did not sustain much damage since the harden liquid took most of the damage. It reminded him of a meteor or the more common version an asteroid that occasionally hit earth before the government implemented the A.A.D (Anti-Astroid-Defense). His thoughts were soon interrupted as the pod disengage something fro the wall "please attach horizon survival watch to your wrist and also take horizon survival tablet" the pod said. Xander unbuckled his safety straps and equipped the watch and grabbed the tablet then it showed a email from the pod itself? Xander opened the email which was called Mission-Twin Horizon which showed this
"congratulations on successfully landing on Astoria you are the first human fromplanet earth on Astoria. Your first objective is to set up shelter and make sure you safety is insured. To help with this open the locker to find a plasma knife, laser pistol, solar battery, MRE's, Water, electric stove, and a survival backpack which is lightweight but can hold many things. Make sure to take all resources and afterwards prioritize a stable food source. Your main mission is to gain peaceful communications with all of the citizens of Astoria violence is strictly prohibited unless they attack first. Also an important objective is that if you discover a way to use magic you will be greatly rewarded. Once Mission is completed report back to your manager for further instructions.
-Sole Horizon"
"Dang it this wasn't supposed to happen until a few years main mission right now my mission is to get out of this planet and get back home!" Xander said then he remembered his dogs he went to the cage they were locked in and let them walk around the pod he checked if they were hurt thankfully they weren't. He then calmed himself "Okay Xander you need to survive bot for yourself but for the dogs because they need you and I need them." He then gave some food and water to his dogs and then packed up his supplies in the survival backpack. He then realized then plasma knife can be turned into a sword or axe if he tinkered with the setting though they use more power in doing so.Thankfully he had solar battery so power isn't much of a problem. He then though of how to go on forward " should I take the dogs or leave them here and come back to make sure its safe out.
side for them." he chose to leave them and then come back when he then went to reach the hatch of the pod with a text appeared in front of him
