I jammed the chip into the pod's reader. A map bloomed: the northern coast, marked with a single safe zone in a sea of red danger. Whoever left this knew the planet well. The pod sealed and fired. As the ground rushed up, I steered north with everything I had and held my breath.
The pod splashed down in a shallow northern bay and bobbed there, intact. I waded ashore as the sun came up. Tucked in the extra crate I found tools, seeds, and a last note: "Build. We'll come back for you. I promise. Survive until then." I looked at the empty, gentle coast and decided I would. This was a beginning, not an end.
