Eris on Cardamine

[Doc Holliday]

Doc passed through the gate...somehow... He didn't remember Kansas. Only once had he been there and it was long, long ago. He had heard stories but nothing more.
There was Anje before him. As soon as she hit her cruise engines, he too hit his.
She was right. His navigation computer was erratic so he shut it down. He channeled the energy from it to automatic repairs as the radiation in the system got more dangerous by the kilometer. Auto repair and life support were it. As they flew, he started to get scared. "I hope this is worth it, John Henry" he asked of himself.

He followed her into an asteroid field. He was having a hard enough time flying through the heavy rads let alone dodging rocks but somehow, he was doing it. Ahead of him was a station. "Was this it?" he thought to himself. As he got closer, Anje disappeared from view.
"Anje! Anje!" he screamed but there would be no answer. He had no communications, no navigation and considering the amount of wrecked ships he had passed, he felt doomed. He only hoped that the station could dock him. To his luck and astonishment, it did.

When he got out, he realized how lucky he was. His Hawk had spots of skin missing. Strangely enough, the station was working. Life support was normal but he saw no one. He walked quietly, looking, wondering who may be around, a hand on his gun.
He saw glyphs and runes about the place, evidence that someone....or something... was here before but still he saw no one. A large room had a window looking out. The large window looking out gave him another chance to see what he had flown through to get here. It was then he realized that he would be there for awhile. Not being much of a technician and not having any communications, he prepared to stay a bit. Returning to his burned up ship, he grabbed his bag, a blanket and some provisions and brought them to a small room, possibly a crewman's quarters.

With the lighting still working, Doc took some food and had a meal as he lay on the bed he had created from what he had. As he ate, he began contemplating his fate.
"What if I die here?" he thought, "No one knows I'm here." The only goods he had were what he had with him. At best he had 5 days worth of supplies.

He wanted to try and fix the com array but fatigue was getting the better of him.
"Tomorrow," he said, "tomorrow I will try it." Within a few minutes, Doc would be asleep.
