Just wanted to know how people feel about this...

Alpha Team
Epilogue
“All systems ready by for landing procedure captain.”
Captain Wolsin smiled with satisfaction, the expedition to cradle was going well. They would arrive at the planet in 10 minutes and, if everything went as planned, they would stay there for the next week, collecting samples of plant life and exploring the surface of the planet.
“Sir there are numerous explosions happening on the planet’s surface, some of them are powerful enough to cripple our ship if we land too near to them!”
“Can we land safely?” Captain Wolsin asked the technician.
“Yes sir! We should be able to land 150 kilometers off our original course.”
“Fine, we shall land there and find out what’s happening. I don’t think that these explosions are naturally created.”
‘These explosions could mean war on this planet, and that might mean that there are people here who might kill us’ thought Captain Wolsin.
Suddenly an alarm sounded.
“Hull breach Captain. We’re going to have to attempt a crash landing!”
“What damaged our hull, Orsel?”
“A ground based projectile carrying an unknown substance which seems to have detonated when it hit us! It’s damaged the engine room severely!”
Captain Wolsin reached for his communicator, “All personnel in the engine room evacuate!”
“Sir, a second projectile is heading directly for us!”
“Try to avoid it!”
“I can’t, sir! The controls are jammed!”
“All personnel head for the escape pod bay!”
Captain Wolsin knew the ship was doomed, but he also knew that he had to get a distress signal through to any other ships in the region, so they could find his crew if they survived and so that he could also warn them of the danger on cradle.
“Come on, Captain!”
“No. I must warn other ships! It is my duty!”
“Captain, you’ll die if you stay here!”
“I know.”
“Good luck then, Captain. I’ll leave an escape pod in the bay for you- if you survive.”
With a heavy heart Orsel ran for the escape pod bay, knowing that there was little, if no chance for Captain Wolsin, and unsure if Captain Wolsins message would be received.
