Adam jolted up with a Gasp!
He, an 45 year old Special ops Soldier, from an old intergalactic humancentic Empire in War with the rest of the Galactic. His mission was to receive an old artefact, that was used to jumpstart colonies on newly populated worlds while the empire was still young. It was an 'Universal assambly machine' (Short UAM) that had the blueprints of everything a human could create! Be it tools, drives like planes or Wappons of every era of life. This piticular UAM was already broken but still held all the Blueprints and a Sciences Teaching module for how to use thouse Items and was therefore was not to fall into Enemy hands under any circumstances! Private Adam Cross had just rounded the corner with his mission objective in Hand when and found himself enveloped into Darkness. Now he found himself without Clothing on a very Hot Ground near a Lava lake that stretched over the Horizon.
'Am i in Hell?' Adam thaught to himself in a forced calm. Yes Demons where Real, he knew that but Hell? Befor Adam could Ponder the absurdity of his situation the situation developed. A screen, familiar to Adam apared in his Inner Eye. The UAM system interface with the test.

[adjusting to new Hardwear... 01%]
Adam war befuddled by what he saw? His mind was wandering why the UAM was with him here?
It took him over 10 minutes before he came back to himself. It was to deam hot here! Worrying was for another time. He Stood Up breathing in the Foul Air that should by all means already killed him and got to higher grounds where the temperature was still hot but less. He recognised that some kind of stress reduced as he got futher away from the heat. With a glance to the weird screen that was there but didn't bothered him from looking around here. It was at 22. Adam took the time to look around.
He was on a bear rocky Landmass unlike an newly forming Vulcano island just in big. Rivers of of the molten stone poring out of the ground into the Lavalake he just came from. The Horizon was had a red hugh and was constantly moving around like the air above hot asphalt, as far the eyes could see. In the Sky meteors where falling like a thick rain of death and between the smoke and hot air you could see a Glowing Red moon, looking exactly like a freshly glassed world, Adam had seen already to much of.
'Yes! This must be Hell!' Adam concluded. looking around for the Demons he knew. But to his suprise there where none. Only the falling rocks of death from the Sky. when suddenly a notification from the UAM System pulled him out of his thaughts.
[adjustment completed! Status of Platform visible... commencing loading files]
[error! file storage automation system offline. manual sorting nessesary. download on hold]
Adam groaned. he feelt how the system wanted to let all the files it had into his brain and already got a headache. How the System got into his Cybernetics was a mystery to him and he was about to shut them off manually. But when he touched his nape he found himself touching dust and skin instead of the metal and plastics of his cybernetics. Which stumped him. This was enough Bullshit! Above his Paygrate! Since the System couldn't lode the files his headache didn't happen.
Frustrated Adam looked for a comfortable Rock, took a deep breath of the Foul Air and began to meditate. Guiding his emotions of panik, fear, anger and frustration around his Core. Feeling better and much less Stressed Adam opend his eyes. His attention focused on the System. "Open Status" Adam said commanding and a messy Window opend.

[Edit Information [yes] / [no]]
Adam was starring at the mess his information was. Alone from the mess of grapths, countdown and countups was a major headache No he was now realising that a good chunk of his memory was missing. Fucking perfect! Not to forget there was a good bit of text that he couldn't understand! What was a Patron? What the heck is a Humanoid Tén? Why couldn't he remember the Year he was fron?
Regulating his Breathing Adam noticed that the "Current battery lifetime" was in wild fluctuations the more stressed he got and something incstictive told him that if that if that number ever reached Zero that he would be Toast. So he did the only thing he knew would help in this situation and confirmed [yes] in his mind and began Purgeing, Reassable and reorganize his Information. It was child's play to Edit and in the end he had an organised Staus page.

Adam nodded. After Editing and organising he felt better. Using the 'Stress' that was connected to his Lifetime while being here. It was important to know what it was what keept him alive. Adam had time to think while working on something more familiar to him and knowing that he won't instantly die made him feel lighter on the shoulders.
How he got here wasn't as important and the lack of Demons mand him think that this place wasn't hell and maybe more of a newformed planetoid or a very glassed world. The Lack of any Structure of any kind made him thick it could be the former, but he couldn't be sure. So Adam stood up only to see how Burning Stone shot from the Sky into the Lavalake Infront of him. 'Yeah. I don't want to be hit by that in any case' With a loud Crash a shockwave catapult hot air and debri in all directions. Adam took cover behind his sitting Rock and feelt how the wall behind him got cracked. 'Nah! It isn't save here!' Hopefully there was a Shelter that shilded him from attack of nature of any Kind. Maybe he had a unnatural amount of luck and there was a functional Spaceship Slsomewhere. Just waiting to get borded by him! The thaught made him Shuckel. He knew he had not this kind of luck.
After the air calmed down Adam stood up again and began to look for Shelter. while it began to rain Ash from the Sky.
