Nova stood staring into the cold wasteland sat sprawled out in front of her.
It had been months since she had thoughts about the past, although every now and then flashes of light would remind her of the hope that she once held. A simple dream, for peace and tranquillity.
Although she couldn't help but think, that in a cruel twist of irony that is exactly what she got.
Snow had since covered her crashed ship. Although Nova had walked quite some distance since then.
Nobody was met along the way.
Not a single person, not a single bit of organized sentient life.
The animals of this world where cruel and brutal, although thankfully most ignored the stranded Tau,
However this was little consolation prize.
To her knowledge the planet was unnamed, as such she was quick to christen it as the planet hell.
As for her name,
The nickname "slyent" died with her ship.
Although, off far in the distance was the thing she was on this hill looking for.
A transmitter array, sat alone frosted over in the snow.
One used in the decoy planet plan during the STE era, since disabled, but at least its power might still be active.
The transmitter itself was useless once she reached it two weeks later, it had bent irreparably due to the weight of the frost.
But the power source on the other hand, was In tact.
A small charging panel on the side was what she was looking for, and quickly hooked up the holopad to the connector.
Thankfully, heating from the charging port had prevented it from icing over.
Nova had considered contacting Kyan before, although of course getting here was more important at the time.
Quickly, she typed in a message.

Hey, its me Nova.
Although you probably remember me as slyent...
IF you remember me that is!
Either way, hi!
She didn't dare mention where she was, even now telling anyone her location was a death sentence.
Before checking for a response, she closed the electronic power generator box's housing, the holopad still inside charging,
and so she headed off with her equipment to the closest trees to collect more firewood.
Possibly even make an axe if she could find something to tie a sharp stone to a stick.
Although to call that an axe would be an insult to axe makers...
