Some of the ship's metal plating had broken free from its attachments during the trip through Space. Ryan tugged gently on one of the metal panel, the loose parts bending in his grip slightly. He was a bit shocked that the girl thought he looked like a building type guy. He was used to people telling him he looked angry or scary - but never a builder. Didn't expect that one, he thought.
When she asked him what got him in prison, Ryan hesitated. He was pretty curious about how the others got jailed too, though. He gave a shrug and opened his mouth slowly before saying, "Short story is: me and my friends were too loud too many times. Neighbors got sick of it; my friends were over 18 and I was 17. I lived, they died." The metal panel he was tugging on popped off and Ryan almost fell onto the ground, barely managing to catch himself. He looked over, wondering if she had noticed, but she seemed busy fiddling with the seats. "Uh, howabout you? If you don't mind me asking."

female/16 - outside dropship -with everyone-
Jo looked back and forth from kid to kid who were talking after one another. They're just gonna grab some firewood real quick, they probably don't need a ton of people and I wouldn't want to slow them down. "The rest of us could probably look for something edible in this field, right?" Jo asked Emma, turning towards the leaderly girl. Jo was getting hungry and was willing to even eat leaves if she had to. Couldn't be much worse than prison food.
One of the things Jo was most interested in during her boring Earth Studies class were the numerous diverse species of animal that used to roam the Earth, but second to that would be the crazy flora the Earth was covered in. She could recall some of the plants that should be edible, assuming they hadn't evolved toxins or something in the 200 years since humanity was last on Earth. "I remember a little about which plants are edible and whatnot," Jo said, twirling a strand of hair that escaped her ponytail and looking around to see if anyone else was interested.
"I don't mean to be rude," Joel replied. "But we weren't planning to go out alone to begin with." Emma was right with what she was saying, but it wasn't like the plan had been to run off alone. "We don't know what's out there, if we don't scout at least a little before night falls, you don't know what may be lurking close by." Food was important, too, but they were enough people to split that all up between them. And he was concerned for their safety if they didn't go out to scout and check on any dangers that may pose a threat soon.

Benji Torres “I’m not saying you were going to run about alone, I just thought it would be safer if we could somehow organize patrols. You’re right that we need to find food and areas for shelter, but I think we need all the people we can get to stick together. Dangerous animals are still out there.” He looked at Joel in the eyes. “I’m certain you all are old enough to work on your own, or feel like it, but if we can get everyone to go out in assigned groups it’ll be that much more productive and safe.
Paige Pelletier “Ah, you don’t need to know much. I paid... quite a bit of attention in Earth studies.” She huffed and looked the other way, slightly flushed at admitting anything about herself. “Just don’t eat berries that I don’t approve, okay? There’s a lot of poisonous ones out there that look safe when they aren’t. And we don’t exactly have any anti-poison with us.” She instructed, suddenly realizing how far she had to look up to see the man. She turned her back on him, and looked around to see who else would join her small exploring group. She was guessing Emma would probably start assigning people. Or Benji. He was showing leader traits too.
(✞~Spottedleaf ~✞ Do you want Benji to start assigning patrols like a deputy would or should Emma do it)

(I almost think Emma should so she can establish her leadership more, but I probably won't be able to post that until tonight. If you want to speed things along before then, Benji can do it. ★Echobrook the Reindeer★)

Aria Tankie:
Aria just stared out into space. She was ignoring everyone, and was looking into the field. Where were they going to sleep? She didn’t really know... She needed something to distract her! She slowly strayed a little bit from the group. She didn’t run off or anything, they could see her! She slowly touched the ground with her hand, letting the dirt freely fall back down.

“I’m going to stay with the ship....” Jace said with the older teen getting use to the fact that they were no longer in prison and now they basically could do anything they want, which he didn’t puke from the ride through space but was still feeling a little queasy. Staying put seemed like a better option for him, plus once he’s got his ‘Earth legs’ he could see what they had for shelter, protection and help the other prisoners with anything.
Meredith Nettles
“I’ll go explore with anyone willing,” Meredith spoke up with the fifteen year-old looking at the others within the group, she had paid more attention to the herbal and plant aspect from Earth Studies as she was now excited to put her knowledge to good use. Which being bored to death in a cell with absolutely nothing to do then suddenly given something to do? Yeah she was going to go for it! Plus whatever they found out here could benefit the group.

Aria Tankie:
Aria heard another girl speak. Something about going places or whatever. She didn’t say anything, and started staying farther from the group. She didn’t like staying in one place, and didn’t plan on doing that. She began walking around, and not having a car in the world!

Jo looked awkwardly from face to face of the people who remained in the area. It seemed a group was going to quickly grab firewood - maybe 3 or 4 kids? Another small group was still checking out the landed dropship, chatting together. She didn't want to intrude on whatever they were doing. Taking the useful parts, maybe? A couple of other kids seemed to check out of the group anyway and begun to wander off on their own, despite what the two leaderly kids (Emma and Benji) were saying about staying. But it's not like she had control over what other kids did, so Jo didn't mind.
Waiting a bit for the other kids to go off to do their own tasks, Jo pipped up towards the kids that decided to remain in the field area in front of the dropship with her. "Well, if it's not too great of an idea to go exploring today, we could introduce ourselves! Tell each other a little bit about ourselves - I mean, it seems like we'll be stuck together for a while."
Not wanting the group to fall into awkward silence while waiting for someone to speak up, Jo swiftly decided she would just continue along and introduce herself immediately after speaking. "I'm Marianna, but please, call me Jo! I turned 16 recently, and I am so glad to finally meet some other people for once!"
Turning to her left, she asked the person standing next to her, "How about you? Are you okay with going next?"

Eva Marie:
Eva nodded. “I’m Eva. I’m going to turn 18 soon, but it’s nothing important. We should probably keep track of whose with us, just to make sure no one gets lost or forgotten. Does anyone have any paper or pencils?” (✞~Spottedleaf ~✞macksky★Echobrook the Reindeer★Lily~MythCitrine)

“Hm, my names Jace Duckson, I’m seventeen years old.” Jace introduced himself with him feeling a little better as he got used to being on land, “I’ve even locked up for awhile and..... yeah it’s kind of a lot to take in.... “ he rubbed the back of his neck in a somewhat nervous manner, honestly the only people he talked to were the guards and even they barely talked unless giving him a command or threatening him if he got out of line. So talking to kids about his age now was different Andy he was grateful most seemed friendly for the most part.
Meredith Nettles
Meredith had been standing by one of the kids- Jace who after his introduction seemed to deflate with what else to say, “I’ll go next! I’m Meredith Nettles, nickname’s Merry and i my fifteen. Ya know, you would've think they would have sent an adult with us- I mean we’re practical kids.” Meredith spoke up with a smile which she grumbled towards the end of the irresponsibility of the older folks who sent the most here, so far it seemed like they didn’t but think things through if they even survived. “This place is amazing! Look at the space, so many things to do!” She laughed with a grin on her face, the prospect of being able to do something was the greatest thing at the moment.

It appears that this mission was a complete bust. Not long after the juveniles arrived on the ground, they discovered that the earth was filled with way too much radiation. The grassy field that they landed in was just false hope. The rest of the planet was just a barren wasteland in comparison. When they discovered this, they knew that they were going to die. Their ship was destroyed in the crash, so there was no way to go back to the main ship.
This mission was doomed from the start. It was just one last attempt to save humanity, but instead, it killed off most of the ship's youngest members. That very night when they all went to sleep, the radiation that filled the rest of the land caught up to their tiny little field. Every one of the teenagers was killed off.
As for the rest of the people on the main ship, well they are screwed too.
That's all for A Second Chance. No one will remember these folks, but that's okay. Human life is extinct as far as the rest of the world is concerned.
RIP.
