Three weeks... Three long weeks he's been stuck in that shuttle, forced to sit idly by as he floated around deep in space. Nicole's words played themselves over and over again in his head as he just sat there thinking about what had happened on the Ishimura. The seemingly simple repair mission, the necromorphs, Nicole, oh Nicole, and is was all that THINGs fault! if they hadn't have found it none of this would have happened! he would be with her and they would both be happy and safe.

The shuttles nav-computer awoke the engineer from his deep thought. APPROACHING UNKNOWN PLANET, TIME UNTIL IMPACT, THIRTY MINUTES. Unknown planet, but that couldn't be right, the nearest star system to Aegis VII was too far away to be reached within three months, let alone within three weeks. As the planet neared Isaac noticed something rather peculiar about the way it looked, it had a atmosphere very similar to that on Earth, yet was nearly twice the size.

Not wanting to go unprepared should the mystery planet be inhabited, Isaac checked his inventory, good, he still had at least five large med packs, and almost twelve smaller ones, he also had his Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle and his Contact Beam, with enough ammo to last him for a long time. Choosing to leave the rest of his tools and items on the ship, the engineer strapped himself into his seat and prepared for a rough landing.

AN: Ok this is my first story so please, no flames, although I would like some constructive feedback if you can spare it. Sierra110 out!
