Several of Syd's spells could prove useful for escape if he could simply get the help of an accomplice. Alahandra continuously interjects biting comments aimed at Syd or Milo. No one else on the transport seems to have much to say. Zoltan complains bitterly, and his steel bars are replaced with an energy shield for his effort. Everyone else seems more shocked, or perhaps resigned to their fate.The trip passes uneventfully. Syd and Milo create a few plans, but all of them have several flaws. And then it comes into sight. The Prison Planet Aphex. A noise emerges from the cockpit, full of static and barely audible. “… Turn back! .. prisoners .. overrun …. large breach … turn back! … “The pilot quickly starts calling out for the guard, who enters the cockpit to see what is going on. The argument is clearly heard from the cells.“Maybe we should turn back sir. That message sounded pretty serious.”“Nonsense! There is no way prisoners could escape. Obviously there is some problem with the communications system. Just land!”Grimly, the prisoners look from one another. That kind of obstinacy definitely did not promise a happy landing …And suddenly was entering the atmosphere, pushing down towards Aphex. The ship shuddered suddenly, rocking from one side to the left. Again the pilot voiced his concerns, and again was shot down by the drow guard. As the ship rocked from side to side more and more, the prisoners realized that their transport was being shot at! The pilot quickly confirmed this. “They’re shooting us! We have to get out of h-“The pilot was cut short as a large hole suddenly appeared in the far wall. One prisoner vanished into a fine mist as the transport suddenly took a nosedive, heading straight for the ground. Passengers scream and everyone is thrown about as more holes are punched through the transport. With a shuddering lurch everyone is thrown about as the transport smashes into the surface of planet Aphex.The guard captain is blown from the cockpit, clearly unconscious. More blasts pelt the downed transport and several more prisoners are reduced to mush. The cells begin to unlock automatically and the first prisoners out, orcs, quickly run forward and begin to kick the guard. A few more take the guards weapons. As Orendil is released, he runs over and takes the command for the cells from the guard’s belt. Checking on the pilot in the cockpit he realizes that he is pretty obviously dead. As more blasts rock the downed ship, however, the prisoners begin to flee through the open door, in addition to the blast holes. Syd sees one orc running away from the source of the blasts, only to be vaporized as a bolt of yellow light burnt through his back. Quickly deciding that heading towards the source of the incoming fire is the best idea, he starts heading for a large building that seems to have some kind of turret. A large group of prisoners run toward the corned of the building, but Syd runs for the large double doors in the front.Orendil, Zoltan, Xerxan, Alahandra, and Milo head toward the corner with everyone else.Alone, Syd opens the large double doors. Inside is blackness …</blockquote>
