(Slight AU/Reimagining more info in Author's Notes until otherwise) It was just a routine mission. Fly out to the middle of nowhere. Build a phase gate. Go home. Get Paid. Or at least that is what it should have been. The plan didn't exactly involve a planetary defense cannon destroying the ship and leaving Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief Avery J Ford stranded and alone on a hostile planet that's 99% ocean, uncharted, and home to a plethora of dangers. Ford is no longer on top of the food chain here. Can he survive the perils to come and escape 4546B? Or will the planet consume him, leaving nothing but dust and echoes?
