User blog:Xenodrone98/An alternate ending for Lafette, a story, chapter 2, a hostile first encounter

"almost there" I said, the button was just out of a fingers reach. In a split second I found myself falling back down, with tools falling on me. 'Shink" I looked to my right to see a knife sticking out of the floor next to me. Since the life pod landed upsidown, getting things was challenging. I started slipping into the radiation suit that was in the compartment, I was wearing a uniform when I entered the life pod. The suit felt very snug, a holographic statistics of my body appeared in the visor. Something was missing, the pda. Since we recieved a shipment of outdated life pods, only lifepod 5 was the newest model, the storage was in the wall panel, same with the pda. I looked around and found the pda. The pda was a metal frame, with two layers of glass in it. A crack split from one of the corners. "Ok, all I have to do is boot it up" I said calmly. A loading bar appeared, many of the colors were messed up around the cracks like a cracked LED screen. "Warning, memory chip not found, cannot retrieve information to boot into vanilla." the PDA warned. I looked at the side of the metal frame frantically to look for a chip, the spot where a chip should be was empty. I looked at the outdated fabricator with frantic glances. "Without the memory chip, I cant create anything, no information is on the pda involving recipies." I said solemly.

I sat in the corner and cried, until I heard a growling from outside the life pod. Startled, I looked around. "Boom" something was trying to get in to the life pod. I opened the hatch at my feet and stuck my head out. A giant shark with snake like movements and 2 eyes on each side was swimming around my lifepod. This creature had multiple layers of teeth and an armored shell. Then it charged at me, I quickly pulled my head out, and locked the hatch. I climbed up the ladder frantically and hit the button on the radio to send a distress signal. Right when I was about to finish, the creature broke the side of the life pod next to the raft on the outside. Water started flooding everywhere. I jumped into the water and pulled out my repulsion cannon, the screen displayed the settings, and I turned them to maximum. I aimed at the hole the creature was trying to break into. Whoom, I was knocked out by the ladder. the bottom of the lifepod looked blurry, dazed I looked around slowly. Until:"Warning, 5 seconds of oxygen remaining." "The fire extinquisher!" I thought. I smashed the glass with the butt with my cannon. I pulled it out, and started choking. the hole I made with the repulsion cannon was huge, that explains why my lifepod sank, as I blasted a hole in the raft as well. I shot out of the raft like a missile,  I punctured a hole in the fire extinguisher to propell me. My vision went black before I reached the surface.

Light, real light shined though my helmet. "I made it, I'm alive!" I shouted with glee. I stood up in the water and looked around. "wait" I said surprised. Below me, the ground was a giant blue scale texture. The creature moaned, I panicked and swam away from it. I looked down and saw wavy tentacles pertruding from the back. smaller blue flat creatures followed, making higher pitched moaning. At that moment, I felt bliss, when looking at these giant alien whale like creatures. I looked underwater and saw an, kelp forest, and a place full of coral. The coral area looked very shallow, so I thought going there would be best. I couldnt really swim, my stomach felt empty. I pulled out a ration and ate it. Very dry, like a rice crispy bar but not sticky, reminded me of toast as well. My emptiness was gone, but my tongue felt as dry as the ration. I swam on to this shallow coral place, until something caught my eye, it was like a miracle. Another life pod was floating, not any life pod, but lifepod 5. Lifepod 5 is the newest model made by alterra corporations. "But I didnt fill the life pod with proper gear yet. Well if someone is dead, at least I can use the lifepod." I said hopefully. I swam too the life pod and went under it. "This lifepod actually has a hatch on the floor and the roof." I thought too myself. "Well, lets have manners at least in case someone is here." I thought too myself. I knocked on the glass hatch 4 times.

That is all I have made for now, so about the lifepod, in the story, literally all the lifepods aboard were an outdated model, other than 1,5, and 8. So the outdated life pod has a wall locker, a glass container with a fire extinquisher, a pda which you can pull out of the wall, and an outdated fabricator which needs the same memory chip that the outdated pda uses to download recipies. There is only a roof hatch in the pod, and 2 rechargable battery slots.

So the part with the repulsion cannon, Lafette turns it too max, and blasts a big chunk of the lifepod out,and the lifepod jerked forward and hit her.

Now in the comments, decide wether or not she meets the player, does the player appear in the lifepod, or is the player somewhere else, leading lafette to suppose the player is dead. (deadline for descisions is up too today at 9 pm Pacific time)
