Soft Landing

The Black Void - Episode 1863

Fortunately, the landing went better than I expected. The plane hit the dune with thud and skids along the soft sand for a few hundred feet, gradually coming to rest against the side of the sand bank. I still get jostled in my seat, recieving a couple of bumps and bruises.

I breath a sigh of relief. Any one you can walk away from is a good one, right?

Preparing to set out, I grab the plane's emergency kit, which includes a first aid kit, a flashlight, a compass, a flare gun, a (thankfully full) canteen, and some emergency rations.

I quickly orient myself west uisng the compass. 10 miles is a long way to walk, especially in the desert heat and sand. It will likely take several hours. Judging by the position of the sun, I can still make it by nightfall if I set out right away.

  1. I decide to shelter in the plane until dusk. It will be cooler and less strenous to walk at night
  2. I better start walking now. Those men at the facility may try to come after me. I'll be a sittng duck if I wait here
