"Nothing? You don't even know!" Claudette chuckled lightly as she listened to the girl blabber on and on about the earth... And alcohol? "Heh, friendship the moment we get on the shuttle. I like you cool chick, you're pretty rad." She nudged the girl with her elbow. But soon all of the conversation ended. The girl who released herself from the seatbelt would be in a lot of trouble.
There was a sudden shaking, gravity appeared to pull the group down once more as they passed through the stratosphere. A red light began flashing, which confused most of the members on board. It had only been an hour, and they had already reached earth's atmosphere?
Claudette's mood suddenly changed as she grabbed her seatbelt and began hyperventilating. "Oh God." She murmured, "Oh God. Oh God. How will this thing land?"
Bits and pieces of the ship began ripping off, followed by a long creaking which everyone could hear. "We're gonna die!" She yelled.

Soren just laughed at the girl that screamed, "Dumbass, we're not going to die. They wouldn't let us. We're too important for their purpose now. Any other situation, though, yeah, I would agree." Cera jabs him hard in the chest, soundlessly scolding him for what he just said. "Just be quiet. She's obviously scared, and rightfully so. If she hadn't screamed first, you would have." Soren's entire face turns a reddish shade out of anger, but he obeys and falls silent. Cera closes her eyes, trying to settle her stomach, which can't handle the movement of the ship, and just tries to forget the dangerous situation going on around them. Well, now isn't such a bad time to die anyway.

Mira was faced towards the center of the shuttle; she had been strapped into a chair on the wall. She wasn't familiar with any of the teens around her, being in confinement for about two years already. She remained silent for the ride, hoping that it would be over soon. The voices in her head had disappeared when the spacecraft took off, maybe with the aid of the medication that a guard had slipped into her mouth and pocket. She didn't know who it was (and his sudden action surprised her greatly), but she was thankful. She knew the amount she was given wouldn't be a big enough supply, but it'd have to do.

At one point, a girl unbuckled her belt and allowed herself to float around the shuttle. Attention piqued, Mira was tempted to follow suit and was about to undo her own when another girl started hyperventilating and screaming, which caused her to do the same. She scratched at her straps with a panicked look in her eyes. The red flashing light wasn't helping much. The ship was shaking violently, forcing her to whip around in all sorts of directions. "Let me out, let me out, let me out," she chanted under her breath.

There were a few people trying to get the floating girl back in her seat, but there were others who focused on their own safety. Mira was part of the latter, not caring about what the prisoners around her were doing. She tried her best to keep her medication safely in her pocket as they tumbled around.

Kenny finally woke up. And boy, it was a rude awakening. The ship was shaking everywhere and a red light was flashing. "Oh come the hell on!" Trying not to throw up, he looked up and saw a girl floating in the air, trying to get to her seat, but the ship turned and she was flung away. Slamming into walls...She was probably dead. Kenny just gripped on his seatbelt tightly, waiting for it to be over.

And finally, gravity was back. Kenny wanted to go check on the girl, mainly out of curiosity, but he would get in trouble...
He settled to just look at her sympathetically.

Anders had made attempts at conversation with those directly across and beside him to no avail. He was shrugged off by the other kids. It didn't bother him though. It only narrowed down the list of potential friends. psychopathic loners are going to get no where down there. He settled into his seat and tried to get some sleep. It had yet to really sink in that they were going to Earth which was probably just an irradiated wasteland.

The sudden return of gravity and the violent shaking of the ship jolted Anders awake. The sight which greeted him was much more chaotic than the quiet calm he had left. Kids were screaming and wailing. The red light pulsed brightly and most disconcertingly the ship was creaking.
I guess we found the atmosphere then
He had come to just in time to see a girl crunch into the floor after being flung about by the ship. She had landed three or four seats down from Ander's position.
Idiot, we had restraints for a reason. They couldn't care less if we walked about the ship. It's not like we were going anywhere.
Anders continued watching the girl who now was not moving. He was oblivious to the panic surrounding him. The ships movements jostled him around withing the restraints. As to be expected from a group of criminals no one tried to help. Besides she was likely dead or near to it and whoever tried to get her back in her seat would likely end up the same.
Anders was conflicted, his mind raced in overdrive as he stared at the girl. There were several courses of action. Stay here and take his chances on impact, the restraints might give him a chance. Or he could risk his neck trying to same a probably dead girl. They had only just begun to feel the affects of the atmosphere so they still had minutes before reaching the ground. However on the off chance they did survive the landing then helping her would give him some serious brownie points with the others. A good first impression would do wonders to decrease his odds of being stabbed in the back by a psycho.
Time to be a hero then
He unbuckled his belts and quickly stumbled to his feet whilst searching for any thing to use as a handhold. "I guess I'll go get her then guys." he quipped to no one in particular. He immediately regretted his decision as the ship shook violently sending him scrambling down the aisle. He quickly lost his footing and he tumbled over smashing his elbows and already bruised face into the floor inches away from the girl. He grimaced as the surge of pain flooded over his body. He raised a hand to his face and felt a warm wetness on his face as he again struggled onto all fours.
This better be worth it
He moved forwards until he was over the girl whom he shook. "You'd better be alive miss." he said almost jokingly. He sat up onto his knees and looked for her empty seat.

Kenny sighed. Of course someone would try to be the hero of the day and save her. He watched with interest as Anders went over to the possibly dead girl. The ship had other ideas and shook violently, however, and it sent Anders to the ground. Luckily for Anders, and unluckily for Kenny, Anders had gotten up on all fours and shook the girl. "You'd better be alive miss."

Kenny struggled for a moment, before he unbuckled his belt and unsteadily walked over to the two on the ground. He fell, but managed to stop himself from slamming his face into the ground. "I'll take her to her seat, Eugene, get back to yours. You're hurt."

Great, this guy, trying to steal my glory
His head pounding, Anders managed to glare at Kenny. "Back up.. I've got this" Anders replied assertively. His glare did not falter until he girl spoke. The new sign of life grabbed Anders attention. She was in a bad way but alive at least.
He wrapped arm under her upper legs, his other around her upper back and lifted her. It took a lot of effort but he could just about handle her weight. Walking with her through this roller coaster ride of a shuttle would be another thing entirely. He wobbled to his feet from his knees with the girl still in his arms.
Anders shot a smirk at Kenny. "Told ya"
No sooner than he had spoke the shuttle spoke violently causing Anders to stumble. By some miracle he kept his footing and the girl in his arms. He walked cautiously towards the girl's seat.

"Well look at you, saving the day." Kenny said, scoffing. The shuttle shook violently again, and this time, he landed flat on his ass. He sighed. before getting back to his seat. "Strap in, you twit, unless you want to end up like her."

As gravity set in once more, one of the males who left his seat to help the girl carried her; he and the girl looked like they had suffered ugly injuries. When the shuttle shook every now and then, Mira would close her eyes, concentrating on keeping her food in her stomach. Upon opening them, she noticed a silver coin slide by her feet. Unsure of what to do, she wiggled her foot towards it and clamped it under her shoe. She was planning on pocketing it as soon as they landed and studying it for later. By then, one of the guys was sitting once more while the other was making his way to the girl's empty seat.

Amazingly Anders had kept on his feet the whole way to the girls seat. He lowered her gently into it and strapped her in securely. The restraints would hopefully make landing slightly less unpleasant. you're welcome Without saying a word he stumbled back to his seat the seriousness of his injuries slowly becoming apparent. There was a lot of blood. He retook his seat and attempted to strap himself in. He fumbled about as the metal clasps slipped out of his bloody hands.
Another jolt of the shuttle slammed him backwards into the chair. A wave of pain surged over him as he drifted into darkness.

Loren felt slightly scared, as the shuttle shook her head swirled. Thoughts of death and carelessness approached her. She was strapped into her seat, and yet it made her want to vomit as she shook, and as the others messed around. "Oh god...we are all going to die today..." She trailed off, closing her eyes and sighing. Why in the world was she so scared? She couldn't really answer that question if asked. It just freaked her out to be going to Earth, a place of the unknown.

Solstice watched with an attentive gaze as the injured girl was placed back into her seat, her saviour stumbling back to his own, bleeding. The blond turned to his friend, brow quirked. "Things escalated quickly, huh?"

The ship continued to quake, lurching from side to side haphazardly. Equinox groaned as his stomach did its own dance. Hearing Sol's comment, Equinox shot him a weak glare.

"Hey, you okay?" Only now did Solstice his friend's sickly pallor.

Equinox shook his head, bile rising up his throat. "Motion...sick," he wheezed.

Solstice laughed.

There was an abrupt landing that shocked through the whole ship. It appeared as though the 100 prisoners have made it to their destination. The flashing red light ceased blinking, the ship itself was practically in shambles. Machines sparked, parts of the ship hung from the ceiling, and some prisoners were already injured.

Claudette unbuckled her seatbelt, her breath still quick and on edge. Surprisingly, she wasn't dead. The girl swallowed some saliva that collected in the pit of her throat before she resumed her heavy breathing. "Is everyone okay?" She murmured, just to make sure no one had actually died during the flight. She slowly stood up, her movements were cautious as she felt the ship's floor beneath her feet. Claudette realized that she was still trembling from earlier, her fear getting the best of her. Others appeared to be more confident.

Kenny unbuckled his seat belt. Jesus christ, the auto pilot better have a good reason for driving like a fucking maniac. Kenny looked around, seeing his fellow ninety nine prisoners doing various things. Kenny decided to see the cockpit, where the systems and various other things should be. He really had no idea why the ship would be shaking violently like that...

Adela sprung out of her seat and looked out the destroyed openings of the ship. Ruin was everywhere. Where had they landed anyways? She wasn't really told anything accept to be quiet, so she turned around and looked at the 100 before her. Some of them where severally injured, but Adela didn't really care. Adela was fine from what she could tell, though her face did sting a little. She then remembered her new friend, and glanced over. She appeared to be fine, though she still appeared shaken.

Cera reaches down and unbuckles her seatbelt, face pale from all the shaking. "I think I'm going to be sick..." she whispered, hunching over in her seat and grasping her stomach. Soren just laughed, "Come on and man up. Everyone else is fine. I can't believe you're so weak." Cera said nothing, unable to respond out of fear that she might throw up if she does.

The shuttle had landed. Teens all around her began to free themselves of their seat belts, some tending to injuries and others exploring the ship. Mira had her foot firmly on the ground with the coin still underneath; she wasn't letting it go any time soon. She turned to her left to see if her neighbour had gotten out of their seat.

She froze.

A metal fragment was protruding from the boy's chest, blood gushing out of the wound. He coughed violently, the red fluid flying from his mouth. He was still alive, but only barely.

Mira's hands clenched and unclenched, her whole body shaking. A memory flooded her mind though it was a bit blurry. She saw a girl lying in a puddle of blood on the ground. She saw another girl holding a pencil or a pen. Then static.

She slowly flipped her hands over and stared at her palms with wide eyes. She rocked back and forth as her right hand began scratching at her left wrist. Her pupils moved rapidly around, as if not knowing what to focus on. Mira muttered once more, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it, I didn't do it."

Dae was among the first to jump out of his seat. He wasn't at all shaken by the rough landing. In fact, he thought it was kind of fun - minus the whole "shuttle breaking down" part. He briefly looked in his general area to see if anyone needed any help. "Is everyone aight? Anyone need a hand from this gentleman?" he bowed, jokingly. Might as well put everyone at ease for the time being.
