 The Hulking Ship casts a wide shadow across the wastelands, this ship was once an Arc, one of the ships which held a pocket of humanity in their search for a new galaxy.
The ship named "Providence" was once meant to hold over 500,000 people in a form of stasis when it was pulled from its course and crash-landed on Phlegethon. Nobody know's why, but its wreckage is now shrouded in mystery. The majority of the ship is buried beneath the rubble surrounding it, only the back thrusters are really left accessible to the people above the ground. This ship is extremely dangerous due to the harsh conditions of the planet as well as the rather formidable wildlife. It does have the possibility to yield extremely exciting and valuable technology to those who manage gain entry and can survive the trek.

Michael heard Raphael's question and replied " Phlethegon is one of the harshest planets in this galaxy, and from my preliminary scans it seems as though there is likely going to be some form of life on the surface. Usually creatures that are able to survive in such a harsh climate are generally equally as tough to fend off. Plus who knows what could have gotten into the ship, we may very well have our hands full..." he said calmly as he glanced at Raphael. The ship was beginning to slow as the reached the stratosphere of the planet. Michael clicked a few more buttons and the ship began to plot it's course for the air drop and where it would remain until it was signaled to pick them up. Looking at Raphael he spoke " Here one for you one for me." he said handing him a sort of case, Michael hoisted his own case and placed it one his back, his armor locking it into place firmly. He looked to Raphael and spoke " Take care of what we put in that. We will need it." he said calmly as he looked at Raphael and awaited his response and any last questions he might have before they truly begun.

Raphael momentarily remained silent he he clipped the case onto his back, looking up at Michael he simply said "The sooner we do this, the sooner I'm back on Cyrus 22, so lets just get it over with."
This attitude was not what usually dominated Raphael, but the last 24 hours had been very enlightening, and so he decided to simply go along with Michael's plan. Walking up to Michael, he said "Where do we begin?"

Michael pressed a few buttons on the console of the ship and continued to press them and then rose. Looking over at him he spoke " We begin here." he said pressing his hand against the button near the back of the ship as the bay door opened. Looking at the ground he jumped out and landed. The ground beneath his feet cracked and dented as he landed and looked around. Looking at the ship he await Raphael to jump down as he calmly scanned the area. Movement was being detected, as was life, they were going to likely be in for it.

Raphael jumped from the ship, landing on bended knee, before rising slowly.The sensors on his suit showed life signs, and he barely knew what kind of life would survive on this desolate place. Standing over beside Michael, he looked at the arc, reading the name "Providence" on the side.
Whistling in amazement, Raphael couldn't believe that this ship was so large. he looked at Michael and said "How do you suppose it crashed?"

Michael looked to Raphael and spoke " My guess is they probably underestimated the jump... it was a long distance here and they probably just went for it, when they finally reached this galaxy they were too low on energy make it the rest of the way to their designated planet. They had to land on this planet and since this planet is so volcanically active I wouldn't be surprised if a volcano erupted and the terrain shifted rapidly causing the crash..." he said calmly as he looked around, his sensors began to hone in the life forms. Identifying it he let out a sigh as he spoke " Damn... these things are gonna be tough... turn up the power of your rifle, their exoskeleton is going to be tougher than the lower blasts will allow..." he said as he drew his own pistol and cranked up the power of it. Looking at one of the large 7 feet tall bugs he aimed and fired. The round traveled through the air and blasted a hole straight into the bug's thorax. It looked over at them and screeched as it raced forward a few feet. Then suddenly out of nowhere the bugs thorax began to glow a bright red and immediately it exploded into two. He smiled and spoke " Let's hurry, The others will have noticed that.." he said as he began to run, drawing one of the three handles he had placed in chargers earlier he activated it as a long blue blade erupted outwards and he quickly enhanced the power of it as well.

Raphael turned up the rifle's power output, and then taking aim, fired. The round cut off one of the creatures major legs, leaving it hobbling on the ground as it made its way closer.
Firing again, Raphael blew right through its head, to his surprise it didn't explode as the last had, and Raphael turned to Michael, shouting "Aim for the heads!"
Aiming again, Raphael ran forward, dodging another of the creatures scythe-like limbs before firing straight into the head from below, making it fall backwards.

Michael continued to fire his small pistol. Sending three rounds into each of the creatures thoraxes again he ran forward as they charge at him. Just as he was within range of them each of the three began to glow red and burst in two. Michael's weapon obviously had a delayed explosive latent in each bullet. He continued his pace forwards and began to race towards the ship. As he neared it he stopped, his sensors indicated some kind of tectonic movement. Holding his hand out he looked to see his life scanners were going nuts. He looked up as a massive one of the creatures appeared, standing nearly thirty feet tall it was immense compared to the others. Looking at the beast Michael spoke " We had better make it to that damn ship..." he said looking at the thing, it was so huge, he wasn't sure if their rounds would be strong enough to penetrate the thickness of its exoskeleton. Racing towards the ship he quickly began to remove the two cores from his pistol and cracked each one. Holding them in his hand he took aim and threw them upwards. As he did this they exploded releasing an extremely bright light that blinded and deafened the thing for a few moments. Racing towards the ship he needed to get on they only had a few moments before the massive insect would regain its senses.

Following closely behind Michael, Raphael shouted "We'll make it just don't slow down" he saw the ship closer now, a massive thing now in ruin, and this creature must have some affinity for it, Looking up above the massive creature, Raphael saw an overhang of rock which looked cracked.
Aiming well with his rifle, Raphael fired three shots at the overhang, for second the rock made a deafening crack, and then it fell, the largest pieces striking the creature directly on the head, where it fell to the ground even more disorientated than before. Its shell seemed dented and one of its eyes was leaking a thick orange fluid. Screeching, it withdrew back down the hole it had come, and its children quickly followed
Turning back to Michael as they approached the ship its hull now within walking distance, he said "Now how do we get in?" he could not see an entrance, but he would have been more surprised if their had been one now that he thought about it

Michael felt rather impressed at his comrades ingenuity. Moving over to the hull he looked at it. Glancing down at his forearm a display of the ships interior came up and he walked a couple feet to the left. Reloading his pistol for a few seconds he placed it in it's holster and spoke " We should want to enter right about here... this is the engine room, there shouldn't be anything around here, not even dead bodies. I imagine when he head down to the lab that we need to get there will be quite a bit of the crew laying around..." he said as he held his sword firmly, thrusting it into the side of the ship he began to cut downwards as he and across. Making a large cut he deactivated the sword and placed it into it's sheath, rotating his wrist a bit he punched the large doorway he had seemingly cut several times. The well placed punches along side the cutting successfully peeled the thick hull back as he spoke " 24 inches of high composite metal... these things were built to last..." he said as he pushed the hulking pieces of metal back and stepped inside. Clicking the side of his helmet he spoke " Turn on your infrared vision for now, I should be able to activate some of the ships lighting if its still working in a few moments..." he said calmly as he began to look about the ship trying to locate a panel with which to work.

Lowering his head as he walked inside the ship, Raphael did as he was told and activated the infrared vision of his helmet, looking around he could still see small rust particles floating in the air, the ship was dry, like the scorched rock outside it was now a part of the terrain.
This place gave Raphael the creeps, he could just about manage creatures like the bugs because they were animals, but inside the ship was unnatural, a grave for so many people for such a long time, it made Raphael feel like he was entering a tomb.
Studying the walls, Raphael could just about make out dents in it, probably made on impact, but no, they looked more like scratch marks. Not wanting to meet what had made them Raphael moved along until he saw an open panel on the wall, Raphael said "I think I've found what you're looking for!"

Michael's sensors honed in on the panel as Raphael neared it. Looking over it he spoke " Exactly what I was looking for..." he said as he moved over to it. examining a few things he began to activate some buttons. As the screen lit up he deactivated his infrared and then began to wipe the dust from the screen. Smiling as he looked at the schematics and at the data he spoke " It appears as though one core still remains, the others were irrevocably damaged in the fall, they will be able to output power to light the ship, but they'll be unable to be salvaged for long term use..." he said as he clicked a few more buttons and the emergency lighting began to activate in the ship. Pressing a few more the entire interior lit up as he Michael spoke " Make sure to leave your helmet on, I cannot activate the life support, nor can I manage to turn on the filters, the air in here has some kind of radioactive contaminate, our suits will protect us for quite sometime, but not forever, I'd say we have about 3 hours before minor radiation poisoning sets in. Only about 1 or 2 hours of light for the ship... lets hurry up and get what we came for..." he said as he pointed to one of the far reactors over on the west wing of the engine room. That was where the core was located that they needed. Moving towards it he shifted a dead crew members body over and knocked it to the ground as he began to examine the container for the core.
((Let's say that none of the crew members in this part of the ship can come back. The radiation in this portion should be too high to permit them living, even in a zombie state, their bodies should be decaying pretty badly to the point if they did come back they wouldn't be able to move, their bones would simply break))>

Raphael waited for Michael to do what he needed to do, as he did he looked down at one of the bodies, really more of a shell now, its skin like paper and bones like compacted dust. He felt sorry for the crew, they didn't at least have the mercy of dying in stasis like the passengers.
Looking over at the reactor, he recognized its basic design as something all current ships work from, probably as a result of ships like these making it to habitable planets, on the far end of the wall he saw something shining among the rust.
Picking it up and examining it, It looked like a pendant, it was gold and bore the insignia of the Grand Nobles, A red sword endowed black wings pointing upwards. He wondered why a possession of Grand Noble would be on this ship. Stowing away the pendant, he turned back to Michael and said "Are you done with that yet?"

Michael continued to work on the panel, it was heavily guarded by the large reinforced cylinder surrounding it. There would be no way to get it out without opening it. Finding the control panel to the individual core he began to break down the firewalls and activated the release mechanism. Slowly reaching into the machine he carefully extracted the small foot long cylinder that shone brightly. Looking at it he spoke "They don't make reactors like this one anymore, the element that was primarily used for it was only available on earth, not a singly planet we have found thus far has this element meaning that all the other cores are less powerful.... But with this one I should be able to synthetically manufacture more..." he said calmly as he moved to Raphael. Opening the case that was fastened to his back he put the core inside and spoke " Alright, we need to make our way to the research and development lab, that will be where our last target is..." he said as he secured the padded case and closed it. Turning he began to lead the way to the lab, reading a sign on the door it stated "stasis room". That undoubtedly meant that all of the passengers would be kept inside this area. Michael had turned the lights on so they shouldn't have any trouble seeing inside of here. Moving forward he began to activate the panel that would open the door to their next target.

When the door opened, Raphael gasped at what he saw within, lining every wall, stacked in tier after tier, were hundred of thousands of pods. The room was cavernous, with a walkway leading across the center, The pods all seemed detachable, and would have undoubtedly all have been removed by cybernetic aid one by one upon arrival. Looking down at the pods below him, Raphael noticed that some of the pods were open,although the glass front of all the closed were fogged and grimy, turning to Michael who was entering the room he said "Were their any recorded survivors of the crash?"
Looking back, Raphael noticed just how many of the pods were open, some were ajar completely, while others seemed to have had the glass smashed out of them, the more he thought, he realised that about 1/3 of the pods were opened.
