Xavior: Blasted comm device probably shorted out too.
*Xavior tries the controls. the quick response shocks him and nearly sends him flying from the seat. regaining his position, Xavior begins to steadily bring the pod into a level flight*
*an alert sound has been going off the entire time, and seeing a button flashing in sequence with the alert sound, Xavior presses it*
Xavior: Enough already! I'd give my right arm for an auto pilot right now!
AI: Welcome to escape module H-56. Please wait while your current status is evalutated.
Xavior: does this mean you're gonna claim my arm now?
AI: There is...1...life form aboard this ship. Communications have malfunctioned. Life support is at 85%. Radar contacts include multiple friendly space craft. ......A friendly homing signal has been detected. Escape Module H-56 will now enter orbit and begin planetary entry sequence.
*The escape pod nears the planet, streaking through the atmosphere, and begins a final approach*
AI: Warning. Designated landing area is smaller than recommended surface space. Do you wish to abort.
Xavior: Um........how much smaller.
AI: ......Designated landing area is...89% total surface area of minimal landing zone requirements. VTOAL systems are fully operational, but not recommended after planetary entry.
Xavior: That's good enough for me. Take it in.
AI: Nearing destination. Final approach sequence initiated.
*The escape pod engages the Vertical Take-Off and Landing thrusters, slowing it considerably, and it is able to land within a few yards of Grim's wrecked pod. The final approach speed was great enough to make the pod dig into the ground, and Xavior again was nearly thrown from the pilot seat*
Xavior: Another happy landing. And they wonder why I hate flying so much.
