"Sometimes, you have to take a risk and just see what the hell happens." Dravin grinned right before the escape pod entered the sand storm.<br/><br/>Usually the storms were fairly mild on Mars, nothing that could blow you away, it traveling at the speed they were going and mixed with the static electricity that some of the storms could kick up, they were well hidden from any sensors. It was however a little sad when he got the warnings go off on his wrist pad, items on the ship lightening up as they got damaged.<br/><br/>Nearly all the sensors were going off before everything went red and then just went silent. He had spent a life time building the ship to what he wanted it to be and it was gone, in the blink of an eye. He didn't have time to feel remorse for his ship though.<br/><br/>The escape pod shook quite violently through the storm before passing through, shooting out the very far end of the storm and skimming just above the surface before the massive parachutes opened, yanking the pod to a halt and drifting down to the ground.<br/><br/>"See, not that bad." Dravin chuckled before he undid the seat belts. "Guess we could have landed closer to a settlement."<br/><br/>A check on the wrist pad showed they were a good distance from the nearest settlement.<br/><br/>"How you feeling? Up for a good walk?"
