Seán McLoughlin was more than happy to come along as Head Engineer on this mission. This trip allowed him not only experience, but also a high position on a Capital-ship called the Aurora. Traveling on a ship that was first of its kind, and the first time he was Head Engineer? Sign him up!

However, a slingshot maneuver around Planet 4546B that was supposed to make the mission go by faster, ends up getting them crashed on said planet. Now, he's marooned in a dingy Lifepod with someone passed out in the other seat, surrounded by water and alien fauna, and he couldn't have been any less prepared, or any more afraid.

This is the future. The people of earth have grown out of their eggshell and reached far into the mysterious world of space. The Space Race was in hand, and in turn planets were being sought out to discover other terraformed worlds to strengthen the human race and save Earth. One certain starship contains Mark Edward Fischbach, an aspiring engineer among his pioneering friends. But when the Aurora discovers a giant habitable planet, an unknown complication causes the space ship to crash on this foreign planet, leaving Mark stranded in this alien universe and making him the alien. Can he survive against this treacherous ecosystem, and can he find his friends and get rescued before it is too late...?

Facing The Sun by Charlie_Emerson
34 parts Ongoing Mature
While the rest of the Andromeda Galaxy thrived with interplanetary travel; civilizations sharing knowledge across the stars-Ivis Ryoko's homeplanet, Neurothon, remained stubbornly grounded in isolation, and refused to look beyond its own atmosphere. For Ivis, each sunrise brought another day of impossible choices. In a society where violence wasn't just common, but celebrated, she learned the bitter truth about survival: sometimes staying alive meant staining your hands with the very brutality you despised. Every scar she bore told a story of resistance, of moments when she was forced to become what she hated most just to live to see another dawn. But while her people seemed content in their savage traditions, Ivis dreamed of something more than the endless cycle of violence. Armed with determination and scraps of forbidden knowledge, Ivis spent two years secretly constructing a transmitter-hoping to send out some sort of distress signal to escape the planet she had been trapped in. By some miracle, she managed to get it working, for about... thirty seconds. And at first, those thirty seconds seemed useless. Those two years seemed useless. And Ivis felt hopeless. That was until a spaceship landed in the forests near her home. Her way out. For the first time ever, escape felt tangible-real enough to touch. There was just... one small problem. In a moment of instinct honed by years of survival on Neurothon, she might have already shot the supposed pilot with an arrow.

"Go find someone else to feed your ego. I'm busy" -- Having lost everything to the supernaturals they once thought just stories, humans find themselves struggling to survive. Not even their technology can help them this time. Follow Arlein Moore as she navigates her new life in this new, unnatural, world. ---- "MINE" Came a rumbling voice across the crowded street. "shit" The young girl makes eye contact with the stranger across the street before taking off into the dark forest behind her. She runs as fast as she can, dropping her previously important cargo in her desperation to get the river. She know she can't out run him for long, but she has to get her family's scent off her. She knows that he could hunt down her family because she dared to love another. She'd seen the horrors of those found to be like her, in love with another. She knew she wouldn't be able to live with herself if the monster chasing her hurt her family. The river comes into view when a bone curling growl sounds throughout the forest, shaking the trees. A few more seconds she thinks to herself, almost there. At the last step she jumps, flinging herself into the water. Frantically she scrapes at her skin to get their scents off, but knowing she can't be caught de-scenting she starting swimming down stream. Better to be caught running than them thinking you have something to hide.
