Marooned.

As soon as we entered of hyper-space I knew there was a problem,the stabilizers weren't working and it was all I could do to drop back into normal space. We had a nice cargo of Animal Crackers for the zoo on "Zoltin Gree",I had a feeling there would be some bad tempered Hellfire Cats,not my problem,right now I had to get the ship to a safe haven. There really wasn't much on the charts for this sector of space,in fact there was only one system within range and it was under Edict.Still any port in a storm,no choice really,told the crew to grab on to something,we were going in. Everything was ok until I ran into a laser cannon,should've known,the laser sliced through the ship,at that point,it was every being for himself,the ship was breaking up around me as I cut down through the atmosphere. I just had time to notice maybe cities,maybe a space station or a gigantic ship in low orbit,then we hit,I managed to bring what was left of the ship to a crash landing in a shallow sea,swamp,bog....whatever. Not sure how long I was out,but when I came around O'Malley was leaning over me and running her hands over my body,that woke me up some more,I was reaching for her when she slapped me across the side of the head. She told me she was just checking to see if I had broken bones,then said my bones seemed to be ok,ya,I'll bet. So we,ve been here 3 months,there are just me and O'Malley,the others were dead,for a couple of days we had the Reaver - Galika,with us,but we woke up on day 4 and she/he/it was gone,maybe went for help,probably not!. I was right about the space station,and the cities,but we have not seen any movement at all,we can't go very far across this bog without sinking. There seem to be things under the surface,maybe not,but not sure we really see anything,tired all the time,keep asking O'Malley if she wants to check my body again. No luck there. Started this diary,who knows maybe someday a being will read it,gonna rest now.
