Thread: Planet of the Dead (Aisha & CrimsonMaster)

Freedom The Freedom was without a doubt one of the greatest technological achievement in the history of humankind. This spaceship was 365 feet in length. It's width was 50 feet. It's outer hull was made of a special titanium alloy. It was super strong like a type of armor. Only Aisha's parents and herself knew the process for making the outer shell. The ship had two engines, one used for entering and leaving a planet. The other was used for space travel. The planetary engine was a nuclear fusion type designed by Aisha's mother. This engine was powerful enough to escape a planet's gravity pull. The space engine was designed by Aisha's father. He had rebuilt an alien engine, then made a human version. This engine was a first generation Ion drive. Aisha's father also designed a first generation hyper drive engine which he hoped would further space travel. This information was only known to the Lee Family and no hyper drive engine was built. It had been 11 months since the Freedom was launched. The ship performed better then most people had expected. During the trip, Aisha retuned the Ion engines which produced more speed. The Freedom passed by the moon and approached Earth. Mathew listened as May spoke about landing the ship. It was clear that there was some kind of trouble, but Matt knew that they would have to land sooner or later. Aisha added her voice and what she said made it even clearer that they needed to land soon. Mathew agreed and set a course for an Earth landing. The plan had been for them to land back at Area 51. But since no one was responding to any signals sent by the Freedom. Mathew decided to land at another location. Mathew called out over the intercom that the ship would be landing soon. He wanted everyone strapped in no matter where they were on the ship. The Freedom entered Earth's atmosphere which caused the ship to jerk around. A few moments later the ship was stable and flying with ease. Mathew came in over the Pacific Ocean on a heading which would take them to Edwards Air Force Base in California. This base was the landing sight for most of the Space Shuttle missions. Mathew had landed here when he returned home from the last shuttle mission. Reduce speed.........Lower the landing struts.........Engage the landing thrusters. Mathew called out orders which he May performed. The large ship slowed as it came closer to the ground. Three metal legs appeared from the belly of the ship. Six landing jets fired up which allowed the ship to touch down softly on the ground. Disengage landing thrusters........Shut down engines. Mathew said while flipping switches off. Mathew looked out of the command deck windows and saw nothing but jets parked in different places. There was no sign of life anywhere. Edwards Air Force Base was one of the busiest bases in the world. Even at night there was always something happening. Here it was 125 in the afternoon and there wasn't a soul in sight. There was no signs of an attack on the base or anything else. Jets were parked as they would normally be, but no one was around them. Within five minutes of landing. The crew of the Freedom had gathered near a hatch which they would use to exit the ship. Mathew removed 5 Glock 19's along with belts holsters from a weapons locker. He handed each crew member a belt with the holster and one Glock. Each weapon was loaded and one extra clip of ammo was in a small pouch on the belts. Mathew put his belt on then cracked open the escape hatch in the ships belly. He then lowered the escape ladder and went down first. Mathew reached the ground quickly and looked around. It was eerie, there was no sound except for the wind blowing. I don't want anyone wandering off alone.......Until we find out what's going on.......Everyone stay close. Mathew said once everyone had joined him on the runway where touched down. Lets head for the control tower. Mathew said while pointing at the huge tower where air traffic was controlled from.
