After I woke up I walked outside and it was raining. It was cold out I looked out at the moon in the sky. A chunk was missing. I walked out of the ship and a gust of wind hit me. The rain froze and hit the ground, such strange weather on this planet one minute it is raining and the next it’s snowing. I looked out over the cliff edge. Down a couple hundred feet was a large dark chasm I don’t even know what is there and I don’t want to find out./ but I got this feeling that something was calling to me from the deep abyss. I shook off the trance that pit had me in and continued walking the snow crunching under my boots I look up and continue over to the research station. The station was a small building on the peak of the tallest mountain on this planet on the edge of the polar ice cap right at the base of the mountain on one side was a lush jungle that probably explains the random weather up here./ I enter the station the room lights up as the generator kicks in. The heaters fire up and begin to make the room habitable, once the room is warm I hit a switch on my suit and in a loud hiss the helmet collapses into my pack and I continue forward./ the computers begin to boot up, and with a loud grinding sound the metal panels lift from the outside window which was now covered with frost. As the defrosters kicked in a puddle started to formed on the concrete./ once the computers were up and running I noticed the blinking light then I realized that it was a message from Command. One day late I thought as I sat down to read it, once I opened the file what I read scared me. The words “THE END HAS COME” was repeated almost 50 times./ It was so interesting until I realized what it meant, command was gone I had no way home I was stuck on this hell hole of a planet. It took me some time to recover my sanity. Once I did I decided to set up a distress beacon maybe someone will get it and save me. I gathered what resources I had and prepared for the long wait. “Personal log 4/23/2256 it has been 30 days now/and I feel my sanity slipping away, with nothing to do I just wait then I started to hear voices, whispers from the darkness that reminded me of the chasm. There is something about that chasm that is getting to me. I don’t know what it is”. A few days later I decide to go and explore the chasm so I could have something to put my mind on./I gathered my supplies and entered the air lock which hissed when it decompressed, I almost forgot to seal my helmet before this and I could have died from it. I walk out onto the snow which was shining with an untouched beauty from the light of the two suns./ it was getting late and the suns were starting to fall behind the horizon, sadly where I was going was not going to be beautiful. I walked out to the chasm’s edge and looked down. Then I realized it had gotten bigger somehow and this made me worry, as I inched closer to the edge I heard a loud pop and the ice ledge that was under me gave way./ I look up at the newspaper the sunlight illuminating the words I start reading off the articles “The outer colonies attack again, kid vaporizes his house, new laws in place”. I mumble a quote “Meanwhile the world never changes but still keeps turning”; I look and see a dark figure standing over me it consumes me. Then all I see is darkness just darkness, and I start to hear a low hiss, I start to feel dizzy the blood rushing to my head, I manage to get a small amount of clarity and restore my suit’s power, the light from my HUD nearly blinds me. I hear a an alarm and I try to focus on the red warning, but my vision is blurry and I see what seems to be a red blob in front of my face. I close my eyes and shake my head I open my eyes again and my vision clears up, and then that when I realized that something was wrong I was hanging by a power cable that was sparking. Then I realize that that my suit was losing air, the timer goes from 3 days to 2 days to 10 hours. Then I start to panic...
