Panel 1:
Major Ulbek: Colonel, the storm is clear!
But, as expected... power is nearly gone. And we are caught in Spoogie's gravity well.
Colonel Hank Reynolds: Then prepare for reentry.
Panel 2:
Major Taylor: Sir, we expended more power reserves than we intended. We are down to 18% on batteries.
Hank: Didn't we need 25% to pull this off?
Taylor: Well... in an ideal world, sir.
Panel 3:
Lieutenant Zack LeRoux: What'dya think? You can do it, right?
Helmsman Talia: Sure, why not. Who needs thruster power to land a giant block of durasteel?
Zack: You know they used to land the space shuttle with no power.
Talia: An old Earth ship, right? At least it had wings.
Zack: Okay, well... have you considered that we call it reentry, even though we never actually exited?
Weird, right?
Panel 4:
Talia: Not now, Zack!
Panel 5:
Taylor: We're going too fast!
Heat shields are draining the batteries! Down to 5%!
The missing nacelle is causing a weight imbalance! We're starting a clockwise spin!
Panel 6:
Zack: If we fire the port railguns, it might correct the spin! Less power than thrusters!
Hank: Do it!
Zack: Firing!
Talia: That's got it! But we're nearly spen on reverse thrusters!
Panel 7:
Zack: You see that cliff, right?
Talia: I do. It'll slow us down. Brace!
Panel 8:
SFX: Crunch!
Panel 9:
Ulbek: We have breaches in the secondary hull! Bulkheads sealing.
The cliff did not slow us down sufficiently. We will break apart upon impact with the ground.
Talia: Not helping, Ulbek!
Panel 10:
Talia: We just need reverse pressure of some kind! Doesn't have to be the actual thrusters!
Hank: The hull breach! We can vent our air out the front of the ship!
Security Officer: Are you crazy? Without life support...!
Hank: We're in atmo, Ensign! We don't need life support. Vent those seals now!
Panel 11:
SFX: CRASH!
