Editing Gravities Reach (section)

==Dropping From Orbit==

Shields filed due to the shear size of the chunk of the station. It impacted the hull collapsing a large section of the hull, crushing bulkheads and venting sections into space. Power surges spiked through the ship causing the major system to overload  and the impulse engines fluttered and then died. As the crew feverishly tried to get power back to the systems Serenity was gripped by the planets gravity and was sucked into the atmosphere. 

The Serenity had fallen from orbit into the ocean like a fiery phoenix plummeting from the sky. Hull glowing red hot from re-entry leaving bits of hull plating and debris in its wake. Williams had managed with the partially functioning maneuvering thrusters to orientate the Serenity nose down and aimed at the deepest part of the planets ocean as it hit. That is where she would have been safe but it was not to be as a piece of falling station slammed into the aft section of the Serenity spinning it off it course by a few degrees which was enough to go off course.

A cloud of steam and a tsunami wave was the only sign on the surface of Serenity’s meteoric fall from orbit as it punched under the surface. Power flickered and died all across the Serenity and the emergency power tried keep the main systems working.  Jay ordered the ballast tanks to be purged increasing the Serenities buoyancy and firing of any remaining engines. The serenity began to pull up from its dive into the deep but the sea floor rushed up to meet it. The impact with the sea floor buckled the already damaged outer hull plates and crushed the bottom deck space by two meters causing flooding to those areas. Jay ordered the emergency ballast tanks to be blown which made the Serenity inch close to the surface. It breached the water like a leviathan rising from the deep.
