The Kadari

Rough Landing

The ship rattled and several antanna and metal plating flew off the ships hull from the force of the reentry. They flew so close to the ground they broke the tops off of the trees next to the highway, they were traveling so fast Lewis tryed to slow the ship down, he turned off the rear thrusters and rerouted the energy to the forward thrusters. This still had no effect on the speed of the ship, Lewis noticed that on the corner of the screen a small light flashed brighter than the rest. It came with a message saying that the ships energy shield is recomened for immediate use. The ship was going to crash into the school but at this speed the ship would likely explode due to the immediate stop. He told everyone to really hold on for a crash landing and converted all remaining power to the shields and hoped for the best.

The ship seemes to fly though the air silently then with a sudden violent jolt the ship crashed into the oval flinging into the Cola and then coming to a stop as it crashed through A block and landed on the hill on the noth side of the school. The ship was damaged so much that all of the lights  on the control pannel were off. Wires and parts of the ceiling were hanging down with gases beging released from the tubes that passed through the ceiling. Lewis was knocked unconscious from the crash, moments later he was woken up with Ellen over him trying to wake him up. "Wake up, were here we've finaly made it home." He woke up with ringing in his ears and was bleeding from his head due to the crash. "Is everyone ok? We have to get out of this ship." Lewis asked. "They're getting everyone out, you don't have to worry." She replyed.

After everyone was out of the ship they looked around, they noticed that the energy barrier around the school was down but for some reason it looked like no one was moving. They were frozen in time, "that's why no one called for help, they have literally frozen time!" Exclaimed Jaidyn. "How the hell are we going to fix time, this is bull shit!" Shouted Jess in anger. "Check the ship, it might be able to fix this somehow." Christine said. Lewis went back to the ship and checked it for any clue on how to fix it. He weaved and ducked through the corridors trying to avoid the live wires hanging down and the broken ceiling. He got into the cortrol room and sat at the console, he tryed to turn it on but nothing happened. Lewis thought to himself, "The ships console is broken, I'll need to reroute the power from the secondary systems to the primary systems and then hopeful it will have enough power to turn on." "Is it broken?" Ellen asked. "No it's just out of power". "How are you going to fix it?", "I'll need to reroute the power" he replyed. He looked around the room trying to find a map "Come on this ship has got to have a map somewhere on it!" He thought out loud.

"Ah, there it is" he found a blueprint of the ship in the corner of the room and went over to it. "It looks like the power generator is  next to the engines." He told her. They walkes to where tbe map said the generator was but the path they took was blocked by debree,"We'll have to go around" she said and Lewis agreed. They back tracked and found an alternative path and it lead them straight where they wanted to go. Lewis walked up to the door and waved his hane over the device, it opened up but then stopped, they grabbed one side each and pulled. It didn't work, "We need something to pry it open with" Ellen sighed. They looked around and saw a small metal beam that had dislodged it's self in the crash, Lewis moved the debree out of the way and jamed it in the partially opened door. They pulled and pulled ans it eventrally gave way.

The door opened and they walked into the room, the engines were so close that they were the only thing they could hear. The loud droneing hum and gears clanking of the engine were distracting but they had to dinf the power generator and reroute the power. The lights flickered and sparks flew though the air "Quick, get the salt" Ellen shouted with a laugh. "Really Ellen, we don't have time for this right now" he replyed. "Don't be such a Debbie downer Lewis" she said with a smirk. "What ever!". They followed the large power cables along the wall and found the generator. Lewis walked up to the generator and the alien language without delay morphed in words he could understand. He found several words that ment something, power generator, reroute power and power stabilisers. He focused on these and tryed to figure out how to reoute the power from the secondary systems to the primay systems. He stood there with a blank expression on his face as he wasn't sure how to actually do this.

"Watcha waiting for? An invitation." smirked Ellen. "I am trying to figure out what to do, if I stuff up the power might over load and, I don't know explode or something." "How the hell do you know all this?" She asked. "Well, some of it is from the device, it's like it's conected to me in some way, telling me what to do and most of it is from all of the spacey movies I watch and the games I play. With a little bull shit to make me sound alittle bit smarter." "Oh, gee, thanks, so this entire time we thought you knew what you were doing, you were only guessing and bull shitting us!", "Yea well what did you expect, I am not an alien pilot, and we haven't died yet so let's focus on that and keep this positive." Ellen rolled her eyes and said "Yea your right, we haven't died YET!" Lewis looked at the generator closer there were buttons, swtiches, leavers, knobs and leads that could be umplugged and moved around then plugged in to another spot. After a while of studding them he decited to have a go at something.

He flicked a switch up, and then unplugged what looked like the main power cord and then plugged it into the slot beneath it. Suddenly the ship jolted forward and knocked them over. Now, different types of alarms went of and a count down started, a voice over the ship said self destruct sequence activated , self destruct in 10, 9, 8, Lewis jumped up with such force he flung himself into the generator. He unplugged the main cord and placed it back into the slot above it, then flicked the switch back down. The voice stopped the count down and said self desrtuct sequence deactivated. "Oh thank god!" He wispered while shaking at the knees. "What did it say? What did you almost do?" Shouted Ellen as she stumbled to her feet. "Nothing, forget about it" he replyed. This time he looked again and realised his mistake, he pulled a leaver down and then flicked the switch, he plugged the cord in the same spot as before but this time nothing happened. The engines slowed and the started again, several lights turned on. "I think that did it!" He shouted.

They ran back to the control room and the lights were on, the control pannel however weren't. Lewis sat down and sighed "why is everything out to get us", he put his head down on the pannels and he heared a feint hum comming from the control pannel. The power was on but it wasn't connecting to the controls, he got up and looked under it, a small part of the controls were damaged in the crash. He pulled out a small yellow metal device, it burned to a crisp and cracked in several places.  "We need a new one", he said. "Oh ok I'll just run to the store and get one shall I?", "would you stop being so sarcastic all the time Ellen. I mean that somewhere on this ship there should be another one of these, a spare, if they have any clue on what they're doing they shout have spare parts for all of the impotant thing on this ship. And I bet you that they have on of these!" "Now we have to find that as well, I am going to die of old age before we get the console on". Lewis laughed at her sarcasm.
