As much as she loves her ship, she loves living even more.If she cant slow down her descent, then her only choice is to eject and hope that her ship doesnt break up completely.<br/><br/>She cant stop even to take any personal effects from her quarters.Even a minute spent packing a bag could mean the difference between life and death.<br/><br/>Reaching the approximate middle of her ship, she spins the hatch leading to the escape pod and climbs up the ladder.Built to allow 4 people to escape in, she bought it because it was strong and durable. The escape pod that her ship graced was from a  mining exploration vessel that had been damaged in an ion storm. Mining ships escape pods were built to last anything, and she hopes that everything works smoothly, or the pod will leave a big impact crater on the ground, with her probably still strapped inside it.<br/><br/>Strapping herself in, she activates the gravity and feels herself pulled back into the chair. "Initiate escape sequence, set for land only", she says out loud, which seals the pod up, then the compressed air and explosive bolts go off, propelling the pod upwards and out of the ship.<br/><br/>The slipstream of her ships descent grabs onto the pod and sends it soaring backwards from the ship.Only then does it drop, and drop fast.<br/><br/>Watching the inner monitors, she keeps an eye on them in case the pods automatic systems go offline. She's ready to deply the parachutes manually if she has to, but as she watches, they deploy at 12,000 feet.Three huge parachutes deploy, supporting the pod and slowing its descent considerably.<br/><br/>Just what kind of world will she find down there.She didnt have time to send off a mayday, not that any mayday would have reached any ship outside the Rukbat system anyway.She could only hope that all systems work, and that if anyone is alive, they find her before she becomes a carnivore's main course.
