    This artifacts is the result of a live, improvised performance. It was recorded directly to stereo digital output with no additional overdubs, mixing or editing. The sounds you hear are exactly as they were heard at the time they were created. Reference MISSION 021.

    Shortly after the successful completion of a PR mission in the Sol system, the crew were heading out for a deep space probe when a massive ion storm severely damaged the ship's engines and threw it off course. With the drive system operating at minimal power, the crew realized that they were months away from being able to get to any kind of populated system. With no way to affect repairs, the only choice remaining was for the crew to secure themselves in their sleeper pods and ride out the long journey to the nearest system, Alpha Hydri (the "Head of Hydrus"). So all were placed in stasis and the ship, set on auto, began its long trek. The ship had been programmed to go into orbit around Alpha Hydri 2, a lush, tropical planet which had become popular as an interstellar vacation spot. Unbeknownst to the crew, the computer system had suffered damage from the storm as well and the result was an unexpected crash landing. Fortunately, the ship managed to hit just off shore from a major population centre and the emergency landing protocols managed to kick in just in time to allow for a survivable landing. Somewhat shaken and soggy, the crew escaped the sinking ship and made it to shore where they were able to salvage some portable sonic grappling devices and engage in a shore side salvage mission before officials from the nearby settlement were dispatched to retrieve them.
