'To the escape pod'
Even as he spoke, Cain snatched up his jar and ran from the room.

They all squeezed into the tiny second-hand pod, all they'd been
able to afford. This trip should have made them rich, but Clarke
had been playing a double game.

'Right'  Cain said, 'there should be a red release lever'
'This one, poking me in the ribs?'
Cain nodded, 'Pull it'.

Hurled from the ship by a masssive explosion, the pod
plummetted towards the planet below, its all its crew unconscious.
Behind it the wrecked ship was sent spinning away from the space
station, its cargo safe. 

The pod bounced  a few times then came to rest.
'That was a bad landing'  Forrester groaned.
'We're alive aren't we' Cain replied, ''got anything
for broken bones Doc?".
'No, just what I could snatch up. Their might be something
useful outside though, even a tree branch would be a useful
splint.'

Cain pulled himself upright, and slowly pushed the door open.
Brilliant light flashed in, making everyone wince. Cain shaded 
his eyes and hobbled outside.

'We couldn't have picked a worse landing spot' Cain announced
on his return, 'we seem to be on a icecap, nothing but ice for 
miles, and it's snowing. The pod melted a  1000 foot crater when
we landed but it didn't reach them bottom. I give up'

I play 'on ice'
