As the rocket approaches the ground, it immediately ejects the front part.
[ intiating landing mode]
The throttles change direction mid-air, flying towards space, I am left in the cabin with no thrusters.
The cabin releases balloons on all sides, immediately the cabin approaches the dry sand, a sound echoes in the cabin - "boooom!"
The cabin bounces and spins a bit until it stops with the sound- "Scree!"
[ Landing successful ]
The cabin opens the doors at the side, "pshh! pshh! pshh! ." Gas sounds reverberate around me. The sunlight on my face is glaring, as I step out. The desert sand is sprawled to the distance as far as the eye can see.
Nooooo! my first time premium landing left me at a desert. I quickly run, from left to right, it's really bad, I can't see anything. What will I do? I immediately head back into the cabin.
"Help me it's an emergency." I cry out to the AI.
[ Emergency mode activated ]
[What is the emergency?]
"Stranded that's what's going on, why did the rocket land me here. Give me my refund, that's unfair" I complained.
[ Rockets are programmed to land you randomly on the Map, Suggestion; call a rescue team for PSC 250?]
Everything in PlanetSimu is run by the economy of PlanetSimu Coin (PSC). This World can leave you bankrupt.
"Call it please." I said anxiously.
[ Request successful ]
The whole cabin lit up all red, the lights flashed continously.
[Distress signal online]
I read that these could take the whole day.
I can't check my bank account, so I just go in the cabin to rest.

I wake up to sounds of a helicopter rotor; "whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!" The sand starts dancing. What an ancient build, SimuPlanet really has it all.
I look up, I see 4 people plus the pilot, and a ladder they are dropping. I climb the ladder, since they are not landing.
I climb up until I finally go into the helicopter. "Hello there"
"Goodness you sure were in a bind." One bulky guy said with a mask on.
The other members go on to take a seat, it seems they aren't interested in me that much.
The ride took a whole hour until we arrived, at a huge town in the desert, they dropped me at the entrance.
I look up to see the helicopter leaving, I wonder where they are going now. Those were players just like me, they earn in this World through , "Jobs."
Let me go into this town, maybe I can contact Lucy, she will probably help me. I thought my luck was good, guess again.
I see floating bikes parked, floating vehicles, trucks with wheels and a huge fountain of water. I proceed to enter the town, as I walk, the town is bustling with activity.
The sun is beating me down, I head towards a building with the label "Mind Games Merchants" maybe they can help me contact Lucy.
As I step in, I see people in simple modern clothing attending to their assigned responsibility. I walk in towards the counter, immediately someone on the side yells, " Hey buddy here's the line."
To my shock there is a line of people looking at me, some with mocking gazes, others simply laugh it off.
I groan and head over to the back, I went there with my head down.
......
20 minutes later
......
"Next customer please."
I go in, ask for help in contacting a friend.
"I would like to contact my friend, is there anyway you can help?." I said anxiously, Lucy must be wondering if I'll show up.
"There is, it's simple; just buy or rent a ComD that'll do, to buy, the starting price is PSC 1000....and ..."
I didn't let her finish as I said-
"Renting is fine" I said anxiously
The lady doesn't even mind my behaviour, she just shrugs it off.
"Currently we have the model....."
I interrupt her again; " the most expensive please."
"That will be PSC 400 " she blankly said .
I got the device, and I immediately dashed outside.
The device immediately links with me, and holograms shows up.

What! Adelaide is playing!
Call Lucy, that's my selection.
The call starts ringing, immediately I see a face.
"Hey kid you are a bit late!"
She said.....
"I am sorry, I landed in some desert, I don't know what to do." I said in a dejected tone.
"Relax where are you first, send me your location" she said.
I sent her the location.
[ Continent of Lasteria, Desert Thrush....]
"It's 932,057 miles from where I am, but relax."
She drops the call immediately.
Lucy is really awesome!
I decide to call Adelaide, it rings and rings, she doesn't pick up. I decide to check out the town. I discovered a fun game they are playing; Desert glide racing.
A hovering board is used to surf in the desert, many people are betting on who wins, flying robots follow the action with people cheering. Big screens are streaming the action from all sides.
Suddenly a screeching noise sounds above the air (screech! screech! screech!, everyone looks up as the object heads towards the town's parking area outside of town.
I hear muttering in the crowds ; "That's the sleek Airpiercer!" ....."Who could possibly own that!", "must be rich." "Amazing!"
Some people even race towards the town's parking.
What's that? I wonder, my ComD immediately starts flashing; "Lucy calling."
I happily answer the call.
"Kid come to the town's parking!" She yells.
