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.

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.

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 buoyancies causing it to rise to the surface. It breached the water like a leviathan rising from the deep. | ||

The badly damaged Serenity manouvered to the remains of the station that had survived the drop from orbit. While McDonald and the engineering teams tried to keep the Serenity from sinking into the depths of the ocean while Dr Moss and Snow along with the sickbay and trauma response teams helped with any casualties they could find. | The badly damaged Serenity manouvered to the remains of the station that had survived the drop from orbit.
