Survivalist Plot: The Envy of Eden
Day One
Stacy calls Cedric Diggory, Diana Ladris, Guru Clef, Howard Bassem, Karis Needleteeth, The Master and Maxine Hunkel to the deck.
Planet Designation: Eden
Status: Terrestrial, H-class.
Non-sentient life: Sparse levels of flora, no natural fauna
Semi-Sentient Life: None
Sentient Life: Small human colonies created to mine Eden's limited precious elements. As of last Eden 'year', population 300. Settlers do not typically make permanent stays.
Water: 75.6% of the planet's surface.
Climate: Dry and moderate during the day. At nights temperatures drop to below 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Infrequent rains, risks of flash floods.
Landscape: Desert and sedimentary rock mountains. Most water is retrieved by wells or from cargo ships. Sparse vegetation.
Air: Type I (breathable)
Sky: Grey
Warnings: Electrical storms may interfere with omnicomm function.
Mission: Investigate source of distress signal picked up on Stacy's sensors.
For the most part the trip down to the atmosphere goes uneventfully, even if it is a little cramped in the shuttle, but as soon as they get within a few thousand feet of the ground things start to go wrong. Communication with Stacy cuts off; Stacy herself is cut off mid-sentence while warning the crew to use iodine in any tap water they find. The omnicomms go similarly blank. The shuttle lurches through the sky and tilts sideways. One of the engines blows. The automatic seatbelts unlock. A section of the shuttle's roof rips off, letting in thin, hardly-breathable air.
More terrifying still, the superpowered members of this crew may have time to notice that they no longer have their abilities.
About thirty feet above the ground the shuttle tips into a barrel roll, the autopilot fritzing out as it tries to right things, and the crew goes tumbling out and scatters amongst the town moments before the shuttle crashes into a far cliffside.
[OOC: Tag into your designated subthreads! In a little, once we've established what's going on a bit more, while I'll put up a thread for them all to reconvene. I will be NPCing monsters in these threads, so please drop me a line if you want the monsters to do anything specific or if I'm being slow on a tag.]

She can sense Howards not too pleased about the topic so she drops it for the rest of the car ride. No need to ruin his good mood, plenty of time for that when the flares attract monsters.

When they arrive at the house, Howard piles out of the car. The diaper bags get stuffed into the sleeping bag with the food, then rolled up and put in an inconspicuous place in a closet. They don't switch on the lights. Howard hands the flares to Diana.
"You got your flashlight? I'm going to go up on the roof and watch. You go, set the flares and run back. Unless you got any better ideas."

Taking the flares, she waves his questions away like an annoying fly. "Yes, Howard. No, Howard. Three bags full, Howard."
She turns and heads off into the dark, not with a goodbye, but a warning. "Touch my share and I swear to God, Howard. You don't even want to know."

On the kitchen counter lies a full knife rack, cleaning ingredients and dishes. Extinguished candles and a lighter rest on the dining hall table.
Somewhere in the guest bedroom, something sniffs and lies in wait.
