It wasn't the smoothest egress from foldspace she's had, but the immediate aftermath that followed jarred her. Upon exiting, the Gunship made almost immediate contact with an asteroid. Then, another. On-board stabilization systems did what they could to re-calibrate and reorient the ship.
But they were not nimble enough.
Another asteroid lay directly ahead and, unable to deviate to avoid it, Samus directed all available power to the forward shields to mitigate the impact. The results were still catastrophic, sending her ship into a tailspin towards the nearest planet
The HUD crackled with its illegible charts and readings as the cabin shook with turbulence. The metal of the hull groaned as the ship quickly reached terminal velocity entering the atmosphere. Most of the monitors in the cockpit were offline and, by her estimation, the rest would soon be inoperable.
Samus had not a clue of the planet's climate or temperament; the little data she could gather before the center console indicated most of the planet seem rainforest in nature.
With approximately five minutes until impact, she clambered up out of the cockpit and crawled up the hall to her stateroom using available ladders and anything she could get a grip on. The ship was near vertical in it's descent.
She quickly rummaged through her locker, found her already prepared emergency bag, and began her upward climb towards the escape pods.
There was very little time.
The ship shuddered and shook violently as she crawled into the pod. She shut the door behind her, firmly securing the latch-bolts. Then she began powering up the pod, flipping the necessary switches, and the dark pod illuminated and came to life. Moments later, she jettisoned the pod.
The fragmentary information she received on the planet's habitat and composition proved to be surprisingly accurate. Getting a good vantage point on top of the escape pod, she saw that the area was dominated with trees and green overgrowth, humid, and sweltering heat. The humidity was obscuring her binoculars, and she found herself constantly having to lower them to wipe clean.
She unzipped her flight suit, tying the top portion around her waist. The humidity was still without mercy but it helped. She fished a black sports bra out of her bag. Not a living being was in sight, but in the event she had to run, better to keep them contained she though, as she was very well endowed and running could be painful otherwise.
Donning her backpack, she reached for the binoculars hanging around her neck, and raised them, adjusting to focus.
Samus saw the shaft coming just as she was lowering them. It hit the top of her forehead, sending her reelin backwards, her back slamming onto the hull of the pod and knocking the wind out of her. She laid there in a daze trying regain her faculties, her head throbbing in anguish.
Lifting her head slowly up, she saw what looked like a tribal woman standing at the base of the pod, spear in hand, covered in a decorative paint and warrior garb. Around her were several other women, also with spears and similarly outfitted to the woman closest to her.
She motioned to her backpack with her hands in a pointing gesture, slowly. She did not want to upset the warriors any more than they clearly already were. The warrior nodded.
Gingerly, she doffed her backpack and retrieved an interpretation device from inside. They hadn't the slightest clue of the planet they were on; the console readings were far from legible to ascertain that.
She turned it on and pushed the box down the sleep incline towards their leader. Samus spoke so as to indicate that she should speak as well.
"Hello. My name is Samus Aran. My ship crashed and I am stuck here."
How that would translate was questionable, but she had to get something out.
The warrior leader spoke in a gruff, authoritative voice back to her. The box repeated it back to her in English.
"Our chieftain will decide your fate. Come."
Samus was aghast at hearing this. Her heartbeat quickened and her jaw tensed in response to this news. She had a blaster in her bag, a small sidearm she had hidden in a secret pocket. But there were twelve of them, all with spears, and likely quite adept with them. She'd have to unsling her bag, rummage through it, and pull the weapon out--this would take time. Too much time.
The leader whistled and two warriors moved to her flanks. She nodded slightly and the two warriors advanced forward, the first to reach her grabbing her, while the other removed her bag and slung it over her own back. After a quick search, she was shoved forward down the steep incline of the fallen pod, almost falling on her face. The warrior in the rear that grabbed her bag stowed the interpreter device back inside.
Once at the base of the pod, she was bound at the wrists by a third warrior. The restraints were basic rope made out of likely local hemp found on the planet. Not the durability of mechanical cuffs but beyond her strength limits to break on her own. If she could but find something sharp...
Walking through the dense forest was slow, sweaty, and tiring work. She felt naked without her exo suit while she wore little more than flight pants and a now drenched in sweat sports bra.
The trek, thankfully, did not last long. Three hours later, the band and their prisoner made their way into the large village. To Samus' surprise, the architecture reminded her more of early colonial villages than straw huts. Some were quite tall, with unique architecture unlike anything she had come across, embellished with the runes of their gods.
