-Age 898- The bridge of the Thermic Lance continues to hurtle quickly through space, on a direct course towards a nearby sun. Admiral Ordo sits back in his seat, a large smile spread across his face. A Shikirian known as Withers speaks up, "Shouldn't we destroy the bridge Admiral? The target may still be alive..." "Nonsense, Withers. That wreck is heading straight for a sun...there's no way he can escape, we're done here. Set course for Shiki'r, full speed." "Yes, Admiral." -Back on the Bridge of the Thermic Lance- Admiral Ordo's ship jumps towards Shiki'r, quickly losing sight of what's left of the Thermic Lance. As the debris heads towards the sun, the nearby planet of Dark Star begins to move itself in it's path. The bridge is quickly caught in the planet's gravitational pull, altering its course to crash land on it's surface. Minutes later, Sharyu's eyes ease open and his vision is filled with a blur of gray and orange. After a few moments, his vision clears and he sees that the wreck of the Thermic Lance has caught fire as it descends through the atmosphere of Dark Star. Quickly, the Captain stands up, stumbling for a moment as a stabbing pain in his head hits him. Sharyu pushes forward, walking drunkenly towards the housing for his ship's AI. He takes his hand from his head and rips the compartment open, revealing the AI core which he quickly grabs before heading toward the sealed blast door at the rear of the bridge. He sends a fiery orange ki blast towards the door, before flying out, moments later the wreckage crash lands on the planet, sending a wall of sand and dirt flying dozens of feet in the air. Sharyu quickly lands, not wanting to give away his energy signature to any nearby life forms, but it is too late. Unbeknownst to the Captain, a native of Dark Star has already caught his scent. Sharyu scans the horizon until he identifies what looks like a large city built on a mountain and begins his journey towards it. Hours later the sun descend below the horizon and true darkness is introduced to the land. Wondering where he will sleep for the night, the Captain almost passes by a large spherical object embedded in a mound of dirt and sand. Quickly he heads over to it and pops the hatch to an ancient Ginyu Pod before heading inside. Immediately he checks to see if the ship is in working condition, the power thrums to life and several lights turn on as he hits the pod's buttons, but something is wrong. The navigation systems are all offline, but when he checks the circuit board it seems to be in working order. The captain rubs his chin, wondering why it isn't working, as he goes to close the hatch to the pod. As it swings closed, he hears a loud growl on top of the mound that the pod is embedded in. The captain shrugs, with the hatch sealed he doubts whatever's out there can get to him. He wraps himself tighter in his clothes before falling asleep for the night. The next day, Sharyu opens the hatch and exits the pod, keeping low and out of sight, looking for any signs of what he heard the night before. Luckily, there is no sign of any living beings, so Sharyu activates the pod's systems, shrinking it down to an easy to carry ball. He shoves it into a pocket before heading off to the city in the distance, hoping not everything on this planet wants to eat and kill him.
