Travellers: the beginning
 

In the year 2023 humanity developed that which would ensure their survival. Mighty ships capable of transporting hundreds of people clear across the universe. These ships are totally self-sustaining and a kind of bio-stasis was developed so that the same people who set out could arrive. Of course light speed is impossible and so it takes a great many years to reach you're destination.

To begin with the worlds colonized were those closest to earth. But now the government of earth has decided to send a colony ship to a far away galaxy to colonize a world for an experiment. There were plenty of volunteers. However the ship was sabotaged before it even left earth by those whose religion caused them to believe that humanity should stay where it was put.

The life support systems worked fine however and after centuries of careering wildly through space far from their actual destination the ship finally crashed onto a large planet that was similar to earth. There was only a handfull of survivors, marooned and unable to call for help on some inhospitable planet.

However upon emerging they had the shock of their life. The planet was teeming with life, and life suitable to ensure their survival for a while. If they can go back to basics. Humans have become a pacifist race and have not hunted or gathered food in centuries. They no longer equip their ships with weapons as no sentient life has ever been found. They must become primitive's to survive.

Emerging from the wreckage of the colony ship William looked around himself groggily and gasped with shock as he saw the lush vegetation and the teeming animal life around him. "It's impossible!" he whispered to himself. The chances of them landing on a planet that allready had life on it was only slightly better than zero.

Turning around he walked back into the wreckage and wandered down the many corridors until he came to the power plant. He entered and tried to get it started back up again, but it was no good. The power plant was wrecked and it would be impossible to fix it even on earth. It was scrapped. There was only one thing to do, wake up the others and hope some of them had survived.

Upon impact with the planet all the ships crew were woken up while the passengers were left in cold storage. Unfortuantely some of the cold storage devices has failed to release and would have to be operated manually.

He followed the corridors down and into the cold storage room and threw the switch that would cause the hydrolics to operate and then watched as all the cold storage units opened simulataneously. There was some stirring of life, but very little, which could only mean that most people's life support systems had failed in the crash and they were now dead.

He leaned against the wall and waited for the first of the few survivors to awaken.

-Uuuh, I don't want to go to school momy.

A skinny, man in his early ot mid twenties staggerd out of his chamber and fell on the floor befor waking up and ask -Where are we?

a very muscular man in his early forties wakes with a very big headache. "my head. i shouldn't have had all those beers before i went into coldstorage." *he mumbles to himself

Seeing the two men standing up he waved them over and quietly filled them in on the situation.

"So basically we have no life support and no technology. All the food is gone and we have nothing to get more." he summed up and turned back to watch for more survivors.

James woke up from his sleep his storage pod damaged and amongst wreckage. He couldn't get the door to open all the way. "Little help here."

Suddenly, one of the other pods started openning up. The man inside was skinny. He came out allright and said "Blubbbbbbbbbb..." and fell down.

"uuh.. no food, noise, my head hurts. i need something for the my hangover. got any asprin or something?"

"In the box near the entrance... Blubbb..." The skinny man (whose name was Georg) told him.

the guy with the hangover (whose name was john) stagers of to the box and tries to look through it for somekind of meds for the hangover

Suddenly, another pod opened.

"And I would like to... the little people... what a... zzzzzzzz..."

He fell down onto the ground, face first, but still didn't wake up.

"AAAAHHHHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU-" Suddenly the man bolted upright. He looked around at the staring faces and said, "Ummmm... Hello?"
