After the destruction of the recon frigate known as the Blazing Sun, Section-Seven (who at the time went under the name Captain Alexander) and his Spec-Op team known as Section-Seven came under heavy assault from a yet unknown Humanoid Lichen creature. Outnumbered by odd around 200 to 1 Alexander and his team were picked off one by one, even Alexander’s friend who he had been squires with was turned to dust by the creatures’ powerful arcane weaponry. Alexander, out manned and out gunned began to fall back into the shrapnel remains of his ship. Alexander made a courageous and decisive decision to overload the Blazing Sun’s already unstable reactor to ensure no victor would walk away from this conflict.

Once the detonation codes had been entered in, Alexander immediately ran to the deck where the escape pods were stationed, but the creatures, that would later be given the designated name of Lurkers began to physically warp themselves into the ship and directly in his path. Alexander managed to defeat a single Lurker before he realised that he would not be able to defeat the other one, instead he ran to the nearest pod and activated the jettison sequence. While the pods were only intended to be fired from orbit, the pod had enough initial thrust to launch the pod the pod over the face of the mountain. As he looked out of the window, Alexander could see the ship as it began to tear itself even further apart and imploded in a magnificent display of kaleidoscopic colours that illumined the snowy night sky.

However the detonation of the ship did not destroy the mountain, in fact no physical damage could be seen at all. After two minutes of free-fall, Alexander’s pod crashed near the base of the mountain, its emergency beacon activated but being over 100 miles from Haven no hope seemed possible.
