Felix Dromas

Location: Alcatraz
Cell-block #9

Three Hours before planetfall

This was far from ideal. No, it was bad. Or well, it was kind of annoying. Felix had accidentally shut off the lights in the cell block in his attempt to fix some faulty wiring. While he had probably prevented an electrical fire, he now had to navigate the maintenance hall in complete blackness to retrieve a replacement fuse for the one that had been blown.

Of course the prisoners throughout the rest of the block were shouting in protest at the sudden loss of light. In some situations there would have been some illumination through the windows, but the starboard side was completely shadowed by a planet. Of course this disturbance would result in a tongue lashing later, but it wasn't like they could afford to kick him off the ship.

On his way to the maintenance closet Felix could have sworn he saw the Warden, but once he tried to approach the man he slipped back into the darkness. Felix simply shrugged this off as normal as the guy had proven to be...enigmatic at best. For someone that was supposed to be in charge of supervising the prisoners, the warden was rarely seen even by the ship's staff. 

Fifteen minutes before planetfall

With the lights fixed Felix was able to check the rest of the cell block's systems without any other delays. Thankfully, this was probably one of the worst issues the ship had really experienced since departure. The captain would probably accuse him of doing this to entertain himself, but he wasn't really a glutton for extra work. Then again, two hours worth of work was more than he had done in the past two weeks combined. 

Thanks to the non-aggression field, patrol was just strolling around the ship. Because of the engines being deactivated, the rest of the ship had plenty of power. A combat engineer was wasted on this ship, but that was something Felix had known before being assigned. He was as much a prisoner as any of the murderers in their cells. His captivity just came with extra work.

While Felix was thinking about his situation, the intercom blasted to life with some strange shrieking sound. It was like someone had recorded the sound of nails on a chalkboard and combined it with knives scraping on plates. It was then that everything started to go awry.

Planetfall

After just one glance out the window, Felix knew the ship was going down. He sprinted at full speed in an attempt to reach the bridge. Unfortunately with a mechanical click, Cellblock Nine was ejected from the ship with Felix still inside. Securing himself within an empty cell, he prepped for impact as best he could. 

"This is what I get for wishing for some excitement..." Felix said to himself.

Impact

In moments the cell block smashed into the ground. The sounds of crushing metal and explosions rang out in every direction around Felix. Whatever method the vessel was supposed to use to land had likely failed and sent the entire cell block into a tumble. 

When it had all settled down, Felix opened his eyes to take in the sights. What was left of the cell block was mostly wreckage with a few bodies strewn about, and most of said bodies had seen better days. He could hear a few survivors trying to get their bearings in the scrap that up until moments ago they had been living in. 

Felix had a sudden realization...the anti-aggression field was tied to the ship's main power source and the ship...wasn't there. The situation had somehow become even worse. Springing into action, he used the remaining power in the cell block to seal the cells as he made his escape. Obviously it didn't make much difference as the block had breaches all over, but it would stall a few. Once Felix was outside he took a quick look around the area. Jungle as far as the eye could see, at first glance it appeared to be some kind of paradise...but only at first glance.
