Snippet #2560318

Moving along the skyline was what appeared a falling star. Behind it, and only for a few sections, a distortion of the night sky. The sound from the air being thrown aside as this "falling star" rushed to the surface echoed through the empty world like gunshots across a flatland. The center of the star could be seen as it closed in on the land below, a dark black metal shaped like a two tipped bullet.

Seconds before the smash, the ground below the pod burned and singed before it was even touched. The light of the fire that once surrounded the pod spread out in a wave as nothing stood to stop it. Then it hit.

Much of the metal shattered instantly, slowing the unconscious contents severely. The tube from within the pod smashed into the ground, annihilating itself, shattering the glass, and causing the contents to be thrown from the tube at the speed of a horses half gallop, while the top of the tube joined in annihilation.

Waking with his face covered in burnt matter, black as night, Sav awoke on the new world. Moving his arms to propel himself from the ground, Sav stood. His eyes moved about, from the waves of fire now reaching distant and blank areas, to the black, charred ground to the white outlines of his impact to the crater where something once was.

Sav quickly checked his belt. His pistol managed to survive and the molecular holobench was intact. The nano-bots, now fully awoken, displayed his current condition to his retina.

"Good enough." Sav spoke to himself as he began to walk away from the crater. As he took each step, more of the burned matter fell from his plastic, self adjusting uniform, which was a vibrant orange and blue color. His skin, changing as much as his uniform with every step, slowly turned darker as the melanin began mass internal production.
