Aura, even having the advantage of a thicker body mass than humans, passed out due to the fifteen G's that were exerted on the people in her escape pod.   It did allow her to awaken first, however.   Waking with a rebellious stomach and feeling as though her brain were imploded with the ship, Aura popped the silicone Red X positioned next to her seat and downed the medigel with a water chaser.  Feeling instantly better, she turned to study the space outside her window.  The ship and her remains were no longer in her vantage point.  The velvety blackness went on for ever.   Now, Aura was afraid.  The aloneness, endless, ongoing, unbreakable blackness had broken through her reserve of strength that had gotten her to the pod, the loss of the wolves, the loss of all the animals, the destruction of the ship.  But to face this great nothing..."No"  Feeling her hands tremble, Aura blinked and was about to turn away from the dark when she saw it.  Novus--small, but visible.  Joy surged through Aura, and she couldn't stop herself from laughing.  "There she is." At that moment she transferred all that negative fear into love for her new home.  Love, and a burning desire to make their colony there thrive.   Allowing her body to relax, she sat more comfortably in the jump seat, but she didn't take her eyes off of the still far away planet.
