"Welcome aboard my ship!" the enthusiastic Avian captain announced, "I hope you all have an enjoyable trip, wherever you are headed." He stepped into the cockpit, the door gently sliding shut behind him. He typed in some coordinates, and exuberantly slammed on the "JUMP" button.
His S.A.I.L. announced, "Now departing Alpha Centauri II b..." The ship was sailing as well as could be hoped, before a piercing shriek rang down the halls, blaring red lights went on, signalling someone's tragic death.

"Come out, come out, wherever you sssilly peoplesss are!" sang a primal Floran, "I'm coming for you!"
Hushed whispers disperse over a group of people locked in a dormitory, at least the captain followed proper safety guidelines. Banging could be heard from the other side of the door, "Hello? Anyone in thisss room? I will cutsss you down~" The floran's raspy voice combined with their lisp only added to the horror-like atmosphere. Thankfully, however, the Floran became uninterested.
The danger was not over, however, as the Floran's next target was the noticeably weaker cockpit door. Gunshots could be heard before a small explosion marked the destruction of the door.
"No! Don't! Please!" The terrified Avian captain had no chance, as the Floran kept shooting, claiming the captain's life. The Floran became interested in the controls, re-plotting a course that sends the ship dangerously close to a lifeless husk of a planet.
The Floran continued its hunting spree for another few minutes, when the quickly expanding planet caught their eye, "Oh? Did Floran sssee a ssshiny object?" The Floran, suddenly overcome with curiosity, travelled back to the cockpit, their fate was sealed. Thankfully, the S.A.I.L. automatically disengaged the FTL jump, "FTL jump has been disabled, a large object has been detected." The S.A.I.L. quickly followed with, "Warning! Collision course detected! Abandon ship immediately! Disabling lockdown..." However, it was too late. The ship's cockpit was torn off by an approaching hill, effectively neutralizing the Floran threat, along with some of the momentum. The S.A.I.L. managed to open all doors before it, too, was demolished in the impact. The remaining people fled to the teleporter, beaming to relative safety one at a time.

In the distance, the ship tumbled for a few minutes before settling within walking distance. Someone also spotted the mostly-intact cockpit farther off. The only things around were hills and valleys, the various ship parts, and each other. Food was located deep within the ship, most likely completely unharmed. S.A.I.L.s were automatically downloaded into people's matter manipulators beforehand.
