You are a member of the Spiral Knights, a military order from a far-off planet which is currently stranded on a planet called Cradle after your ship, the Skylark, crashlanded. To be more precise, you are a not-so-fresh recruit (a recuit because that is your official rank, and 'not-so-fresh' because you could not be motivated - though 'bothered' would be a better adjective - enough to advance your rank.) To be even more precise, your name is Ghret. And you are currently unconscious after having fallen off an elevator that decided that malfunctioning and dropping several stratums was, indeed, the best course of action for it to undertake. This left you falling the rest of the way to your current destination due to your pesky inertial mass keeping you from dropping with the elevator. And as if this wasn't bad enough, the elevator malfunctioned as it was between stratums, which meant that you fell the entire length between the two stratums you were inbetween, more or less. Even more unfortunately, the terminal velocity you were traveling at was the cause of your current loss of cognizance!
Now. What the hell are you going do?
I'm going to sit back and drink some chocolate milk, Then as the Skylark crashes I'm going to bust out of the wreckage and save as many people as possible.
