    Dash has barely been asleep an hour when the ship is hit and he is violently tossed out of hid bunk, Hearing the announcement Dash makes his way to the bridge as quickly as possible.

    Arriving to the bridge, you find Icelock giving order to some of the crewmembers.

    And get those supplies ready! We'll need as many as we can get.

    Turning around and seeing you, Icelock approaches you. Dressed in a captain's uniform, the Rodian's soft tone and calm voice sharply contrasts with the stereotypes of his race.

    Good to see you're here, gentlemen. Apparently, most of the soldiers are bruised, but otherwise okay. Now, listen... he says, as he creates a hologram from a wrist device. The hologram has the shape of the planet, with a single red point on a side.

    That's where we are. Now, we have fallen into the perpetually frozen hemisphere. We need to get to the dividing line, and we need to do so quick, because we don't have much food and there's some pretty nasty stuff here.

    I've given everyone access to the ship's armory, the rightmost door on the lowest deck. Arm yourselves as you see fit, then prepare for leaving. As soon as we have gathered up all the food we can and salvaged the ship's technology, we'll be leaving for the dividing line. Dismissed!


    And with that, Icelock turns around and begins calling another officer.

    Now, you can get a few items. It's not going to be nothing too extreme, but you can get some equipment.

    Indicating his now-extinguished blade, Wenton replies, "I'm ready when you guys are. I've got everything I need. Someone wants us dead before we reach our battle, and I aim to disappoint. Though, would someone be so Kind as to toss me some thermal clothing? I didn't pack expecting to end up down here."

    Cam Antares

    Sighing and looking at the red dot on the hologram, Cam keeps his mouth shut but is visibly worried about the possibility of ending up in a worse situation than the one they're in now. While the others are a bit conservative in their choices, Cam grabs himself an All weather cloak and a heavy blaster from the armory, and a pair of extra power packs for the gun. While the armors wouldnt help much for him, he does grab a blast helmet, at which point he steps out and looks around for whichever group looks ready to head outside.

    Looking around the armory Chykkatarr is amused at the tiny armor, poking around none of it would fit. Instead he settled for two all temperature cloaks which he managed to combine into a very large one. Even with his fur he could feel the cold, the all temperature cloak would help greatly. Finally he manages to find a spare if basic utility belt, never know when basic utensils would help out.

    OCC: Can someone send me a link to the OOC thread? I misplaced it when I reformatted my computer, also for the record that is also 100% operational again. Yay!

    Karking Ryloth... It was only as Tyrath saw the frozen tundra that he remembered the unique feature of the Twi'lek home world.

    Tyrath poked around the armory for a bit, eventually settling on a blaster rifle that felt as close to Imperial issue as he was going to find, and a heavy blaster pistol. He grabbed a couple of extra power packs, a comlink and a holster for his pistol. Finally picking out an all-weather cloak that fit, Tyrath was ready. "Alright, I'm ready to go. Let's get the frak out of here before we freeze to death."

    "I only know the basics. The planet rotates on it's axis at the same speed that it revolves around it's sun or something like that. The same side faces the sun at all times, becoming a scorching desert wasteland, and the other side being this frozen tundra we have found ourselves in. Only place to go is the band of perpetual twilight between the two hemispheres. Makes sense to head towards the light if we can see any, but since the captain has that holo-map we should be able to pick the right direction regardless. Though if we crashed in the middle of the "night" side, I would say we're pretty frakked unless we find some transport." Tyrath says as he slams home a new power pack into his rifle.

    Gian

    Wrapping the all weather cloak around him, Gian looks over the tundra before him. The situation was generally bleak, but on the plus side the Tundra could not conceal there any enemies, they would know of any enemies approach.

    Chykkatarr gets off the ship with the others, after he finishes properly adjusting his massive cloak he finally gets a glimpse of the planet for the first time. He gives a low groan, sounds like a cross between irritation and sorrow.

    He squints and looks across the dark and vast plain, he looks like the isolation is already wearing on him. A gust of wind blasts him in the face messing up his fur and making him look all the more lonely and irritated. Slowly he takes a few more steps out onto the plain before stopping. He mumbles and growls to himself in low tones.

    What desolate planet is this, I felt the cold on the outside but now I feel it inside me too. No life, who could stay sane here in this vast open and cold space.


    After he finishes his growling and mumbling he squares his shoulders resolutely. He turns to face the group and await their marching orders. He notices others are not finding comfort in this planet either. In a way that reassures him of their sanity in some small way.

    Tyrath steps out, hesitant to leave the relative warmth of the ship. Pulling the cloak tighter around himself, he hears the Wookiee say something in his native language. I can't understand what he said, but it sounded like we probably feel the same way about this... Tyrath looks ahead over the endless expanse of snow. "Its true that we have a better chance of seeing our enemies, but the same applies to them...they have a pretty good shot of seeing us as well. Anyway, the sooner we get moving the sooner we get out of this winter wonderland."

    Moving off of the ship, Wenton scans the horizon for any signs of life. As the Wookie speaks, he moves a bit away from the group, lost in though. After a few seconds, he rejoins the others.

    "Let's go. I don't see anything, but I'm worried about things living beneath this snow and ice as well as on top of it. Does anyone know which way we want to travel in order to get out of this sith-forsaken hole?"

    Cam Antares

    Stepping out of the ship, Cam pulls the cloak tightly around him and angles the helmet down enough to cover his eyes. His personal sidearm holstered, and tightly gripping the heavy blaster he took from the armory, Cam grumbles underneath his breath. "Of course, we couldnt crash on a nice planet, no, it had to be an ice planet." Looks over at the wook and his expression darkens a little more under the helmet, and muttering to himself in Bothese. "Of course, some of us aren't as well insulated as others. Ugh." Cam takes a couple steps from the frigate and turns back to look at it. "Yeah...that's gonna take more than a coat of paint. So, anyone think to ask the Captain which way this dividing line is?"

    Well I may as well make one last post, I will just let you know I am disappointed on how you just walked out on the group. Could have at least said something. Farewell guys, looked like it would have been a good game.
