Xander Morhaime:
"Not very likely," CX replied, shaking his head. "These shuttles weren't even in production back then, so not much chance of specific spare parts, though there might be bits we could cannibalise. Finding working equipment in that hole, though, will be a miracle. I fully expect that any working machinery that was on the planet was taken away when the Seps got pounded and we could withdraw as well. Granted, there'll be tons of wreckage in various stages of falling apart out in the jungle, but I'm not sure we're exactly prepared for a salvage operation. Eh, maybe we'll find a leftover LAAT or something..."

Gargulec:
As Skye said, after an hour, your shuttle entered the atmosphere.

At first, it all looked like the landing was going to be smooth. But Skye's face showed signs of deep concentration- and maybe even fear. For you were slowly accelerating.

Soon, you were barely able to stand, and all you could hear was a wild wail as the ship was making its way through the dense atmosphere. You could see the surface of Felucia now, brightly glistening. Very alien.

When you were about two clicks above the ground, Skye turned on the repulsors. The shuttle jerked, but slowed down. It was, however, only the beginning of the struggle.

Repulsors in lambda class were not meat to be used as the main drive, only as an assistance in landing. And you had absolutely no idea of how Skye managed to place it on the surface in one piece. But somehow, she did.

'Never again...' she muttered, releasing the yoke from her hands, after the ship hit the surface. She was wet with sweat, and appeared to be exhausted.

Xander Morhaime:
"That went well," CX muttered under his helmet, picking himself up off the floor with a sigh. "We made it down in one piece. See if there's any energy signatures on scanners - we would probably do best to investigate any of those in the first place. I'd suggest making this shuttle our camp site, at least until we find something more suitable."

Gargulec:
Skye reluctantly took a look at sensors screen.
'Crapload of various life forms, no big ones, however. A lot of scrap metal lying all around us. It's all I can see. Satisfied?'

Xander Morhaime:
"Not really, but given the circumstances... eh, might as well take a look around, see if there's anything out there we can use for parts. I saw the remains of a Sep ship while we were coming in, if we can get there, perhaps there'll be enough left of it that we can salvage something..." CX sighed, adjusting his helmet. "You stay on the ship," he told Skye, then looked to Fathima. "We'll take our prisoners and see if we can find anything useful out there."
