Aura awoke hanging upside down held in place by the pod's restraining straps.  Dizzy and disoriented from a blow to the head, it took her a few moments to realize what had happened.  'The lifepod, we've crash landed.'<br/>The moans of the other survivors filled the air along with the metallic tang of blood.  Aura held her breath and pushed the harness release landing on her feet with knees bent to take the blow. She quickly  helped release the two men and two women and one child that had minimal or no injuries.  Crossing over, she activated the hatch release, Aura clapping in gratitude when the door blew giving them access to the outside and the shining white sand of the Novus coastline.  Aura turned and hurriedly began to set up a triage. Directing the four able bodied adults to help her, they popped the pod's medsup box.  Taking out the thin elastisheets, they laid them on the sands for the injured to rest.  Four of her podmates had not survived the landing, one had severe internal injuries and would not survive long, one had a broken tibia and multiple laserations; they used harness straps and a dissected jump seat to set the leg.  The rest of them had less serious multiple cuts and abrasions.  Aura started with the only child in the group and worked her way through the worst cases to the least injured, attending to herself last.<br/>It was while she was checking on the status of the broken tibia that she heard someone hailing her; looking up across the sands, she saw the forms of the Captain and Lena approaching.
