Sam awoke with a jolt as his wrists tugged at the metal restraints holding him to his bed. He looked around, panicking, looking for the guard to let him loose. Only after a few more seconds of intense shaking did he remember he was no longer incarcerated, but traveling as a passenger on a colony ship headed for a distant rimworld. He had volunteered to commute his sentence, and the last thing he remembered was drifting off to cryosleep onboard the massive starship. He turned his head to the right and saw a young man trying to pull his metal restraints off.
"Don't squirm, son. It only makes it hurt more." Sam offered in a soothing tone. An explosion in the distance caused them both to flinch, the ship shaking even more. Sam craned his neck to the left, able to just barely see crew members getting up from their cryobeds and running to investigate.
Another explosion, this time louder and larger rocked the ship. Other passengers began to scream, including the man directly in front of Sam. "What the fuck is going on! What -" he was cut off with the third explosion. Sam grimaced as the light was too bright. Once he opened them again, the view was not comforting. The man who had been screaming had been crushed by a piece of metal - part of the hull that had ripped off, and now exposed the cabin to the outside. Sam intuitively held his breath, until he realized there was oxygen as he could feel warm air on his face.
One more explosion, and everything became calm. Entire sections of the ship broke apart and began hurtling towards the surface. Sam watched as the largest section of the ship got smaller and smaller as the sound of rushing air became louder. The hull the beds were attached to spun around, and Sam could see others in similar predicaments all around him.
The ride must have lasted no more than a minute, and it ended in a sudden crash. Sam briefly lost consciousness again, waking up with a headache and massive ringing in his ears. The restraints loosened once they had reached the surface and he quickly got up to survey the damage.
Small fires burned around him and the twisted chunk of metal that had delivered them to the ground. The young man next to him was still unconscious and bleeding from his arm that had been gashed badly by a piece of hull. Thinking quickly, Sam picked him up and dragged him outside of the crash site.
Turning back towards the ship, he saw another man carrying an unconscious woman towards him. He set her down next to Sam and ran back to the impact crater. Sam inspected the woman carefully for injuries but didn't seem to find any serious ones. He began to rip the shirt of the wounded man and wrap his arm in a tourniquet.
The man who had rescued the woman returned again with a limp body of a clearly deceased fellow passenger. The rescuer was not a tall man, but he was young and muscular, barely breaking a sweat as he pulled people and corpses from the crash site.
After a few more trips, the man came back empty handed. "That's all of them," he said. "Just the four of us from this section. Who knows where everyone else landed."
Sam nodded. He stood up from the injured man and wiped his brow before offering his hand. "I'm Sam. Thanks for the assist."
"Raymond. Go by Ray." the two men shook hands, when suddenly the young woman stirred.
"Nnnngh" she groaned as she held her hand up to her temple. "My head," she moaned.
Sam knelt down next to her. "Sit up, you likely have a concussion."
"What happened?" She looked around at the forest surroundings. "Where am I?"
"The ship crashed, I'm not sure where we are. Given the oxygen atmosphere, I'm guessing we made it to our destination, at least."
"Our destination? Ship?"
She must have amnesia, thought Sam. "Yes, Alma 212, the rimworld we were sent to colonize. We were supposed to set up a mining colony. We were put in cryosleep, and -"
"Nnnngh," she groaned some more. "Right. Ok, it's coming back to me. Why did we crash?"
"Not a clue." Sam looked towards Ray, who simply shrugged.
"Just us four, that we know of. That's Ray, I'm Sam. What's your name?"
"Cassie," she said. "What's his name?" She pointed at the wounded man.
"Not sure. We'll have to ask him when he wakes up. Until then, we should see if we can find any emergency supplies."
Sam and Ray picked through the wreckage and managed to find a crate of first aid kits and emergency rations, enough to last a week or two between the four of them. They carried it back to Cassie, and while doing so it started to rain.
"Great timing," Sam muttered. He looked around and spotted an alcove under a huge rock. "Let's move over there."
The survivors took shelter under the rock and tended to the wounded with proper bandages. Sam got a better look at Cassie as she wrapped a bandage around a cut on Ray's arm. She was a very beautiful girl, likely in her early twenties, at least ten years younger than him. She was tall and thin, with long legs and graceful features. Her golden blonde hair framed her stunning face, even through the blood and grime.
As the sun set, they huddled close together for warmth. Cassie lay between the rock and Sam, only inches separating them.
He woke up at first light, sitting up and looking around. The wounded man was where they had left him, still unconscious. As he stretched, Sam felt himself being uncomfortably hard. He looked around to see if Cassie was nearby, and when he figured it was safe, he walked away from the camp to relieve himself. Peeing was difficult as always, more so with the massive erection he was sporting. He remembered back to the briefing before they had boarded the ship; the doctor had explained to the men that, after cryosleep, they would be very aroused from the long period of no sexual activity.
As he finished up, Sam turned his head towards a sound in the distance. He listened carefully until he heard it again - it sounded like a high pitched yell. Fearing for Cassie, he ran towards the sound. He heard it more and more clearly until he found himself at the edge of a lake. He looked around and spotted off in the distance Cassie, fully nude on all fours, being taken from behind by Ray.
He seemed desperate, slamming himself into the young girl roughly with each thrust. She moaned loudly and Sam looked around for a rock. "That piece of shit!" He mumbled as he searched for a weapon. He paused when Cassie spoke.
