Destiny Status: Light 2 - 2 Dark<em>Note: 1 dark added for a roll for Pumpkin Seed</em><br/><br/>As the trio investigated the bodies there was a sudden thunderous clap of sound and a flash of light above.  The group looked up to see an escape pod, traveling in a shallow trajectory as it fired its thrusters to slow itself before impact.  It landed with a distant thud, invisible through the dust and haze but clearly not far, and in the direction that they had been traveling.  A moment later the comlinks began to beep with an automated distress signal.<br/><br/><strong>PUMPKIN SEEDS/Seevu Krastal</strong><br/><br/>Seevu had not been having a good week.  A bounty on her had come up on Ord Mantell, and she'd been almost captured by the Imperials.  She'd been forced to leave the planet on the first available ship, only for it to fall under attack by pirates.  She evacuated, she couldn't say most of the rest of the crew were as lucky, and through the narrow viewport of her escape pod got to watch the ship explode.  The landing was rough, her escape pod barely able to handle the powerful winds of the upper atmosphere.  She was tossed about, compressed and stretched by G forces, and when the escape pod finally slammed into the ground, missed catching a piece of shrapnel by an inch.<br/><br/>The atmosphere, based on the few systems still working, was breathable if not healthy.  A strong wind made an almost musical noise as it roared passed a number of holes in the pod's hull, and carried along a mix of smoke, dust, and sand that made visibility poor at best.  To make matters worse the exterior hatch was jammed, the edge of it buried in the gravelly ground.
