Things are looking up for Carter. After months of serving coffee, fixing equipment, and just trying to be noticed as an intern, everything was falling into place. He spent day after day sucking up to his bosses until they finally started to take him seriously as a mechanic. Now at long last, he had been given his first real mission aboard the only large expedition to Tau Ceti, a recently discovered star system that was believed to have hospitable planets. The readings from drones had been very promising. Now Carter had the honor to be a part of the effort to discover uncharted land. His dream was finally coming true. But the shuttle hardly makes it out of the atmosphere before it all comes crashing down. Literally. Aboard the only surviving escape pod Carter and a group of crew members crash land on a small island in the middle of the ocean. Their radios are silent, their supplies are limited, they have no idea where they are. It seems like things can't get any worse. Until Carter realizes they're not alone on the island.
