It's been about 22 hours since they had started their trip to the planet, luckily nothing bad has happened, the two Avali have been waiting on the bridge trying to pass the time by playing an game, the game was called Civilized where they had to make an glorious empire from the very beginning of recorded history to futuristic technology and had to win through multiple goals. (A/N, It's kind of a rip-off of Civilization, but who cares?)
Kyu is currently getting her but kicked by Khauko, "Damn it, why is my army so bad?" Obviously she's upset because of it.
"Maybe because you have been at war since, like the beginning of the game? Maybe thats why your army's exhausted." Khauko replied almost as if she knew that Kyu was a bit of an knucklehead.
Before Kyu could reply an warning came up on the central console, [ALERT, RAPID DESCENT INTO PLANITARY GRAVITY WELL, ENTERING ATMOSPHERE IN T - 2 MINUTES, FIND SHELTER. ALE-ER-ER, ERROR, ERROR, ATMOSPHERIC LANDING SYSTEM OFFLINE, MANUAL LANDING ADVISED]. At this announcement Kyu and Khauko started to panic, not for Jesun and Jesali. But because if one of them didn't stay behind to land the ship they would most likely die.
"W-what should we do?" Khauko asked panicked and confused. "One of us has to stay behind to land the ship," Kyu responded sounding as if she had already made up her mind, "I will stay behind to land the ship, you go and stay safe with the others."
"No," Khauko refused, "You go if things go south you need to survive, to pickup the pieces, and fix this mess."
Kyu was shocked by the amout of will Khauko had to do this, "Fine, just promise me that you will make it out of this in one piece, ok?" "Ok, I promise," Khauko said before Kyu left the bridge and the real challenge began.
======1 minutes and 30 seconds later=====
'Oh fuck, oh shit, oh fuck, oh shit.' Obviously Khauko was having an bit of trouble because apparently the timings were off and the ship had entered the atmosphere an full minute before it was sopposed to.
Khauko was starting to regret her choice as to land the ship, but there was no turning back now she had to do it. 'Come on, atmospheric thrusters just turn on!' 90km above sea level, 75km above sea level. 'Yes, finally now I just need to level out and find an open enough area to land.
If you were looking at the ship falling into the atmosphere you would see an ball of fire falling from the heaven's. An beautiful sight from the ground, but for our unlucky band of spacefairers this was an very bad situation, because they were still going to fast to make an safe landing and no matter what they did the landing was going to be rough. ["50km, 35km, 18km. Brace for impact!"] Khauko's voice came over the announcement system in the ship warning them to brace, but just before impact the atmospheric thrusters used the rest of thir fuel to slow the ship down, even if just by a little bit.
And with that one story ends, and an new story begins.
