The Survival.

[Robust]

"This is our 35 year Anniversary of the first flight of the U.T.P. Symphony..." Comes over the PA in my cabin. I'm Jim, Physics Engineer and main developer of the M.U.L.E. and the P.I.C.K. .

"We are passing through the Third Solar system known to man." Captain Piers dully relays to the team. "Now on this mining trip..." He is cut off by a collosal explosion. Someone screams "The ship is going down!!!" I scrambled to my cabin, which doubles as an escape pod that is why there is an airlock at the entry. I hit the airlock Emergency Engage Button, put on my regulation suit, helmet and strap on my Mule and Pick. Before I was able to fully power up my suit I was thrown towards the airlock by another explosion, my head hit the button to jetison my cabin, and I fell unconcious.


Daisy: Jim... Jim are you all right?

Yeah I guess so.

Daisy: I have entombed the chamber with a "breathing" material to regulate oxygen flow.

Unknown: (SCREECH)

What the hell was that?!

Daisy: Getting life form readings...

We'll analyze them later just armor up the pod.

Daisy: Already read your brain algorithms and proceded to fully armor the pod.

Ok, analyze lifeform.

Daisy: 24 in. long 12 in. tall.

Is it weaponized? Intelligent?

Daisy: Yes and Yes.

Shit. Okay, get my plasma gun ready. I'm going outside.

Chapter 2: First Encounter.

Daisy: Weapon ready sir.

Good... I put on my exoskeleton of armor opened the airlock and had the "air" knocked out of me by the creature.

Get...off...of...Me!!!

Creature: SCREECH!!!!!!

I put the barrel up to its head and pulled the trigger, green blood almost floated through the air gently to the ground.

Daisy.

Daisy: Yes?

What is the gravity on this rock?

Daisy: 10% of that on Earth.

No wonder. I started dragging the alien corpse into the pod. Daisy analyze this creature further.

Daisy. Done

Where did this creature originate?

Daisy: A cave 20 miles from here.

Scan its memory.

Daisy: Seeing signs of bipedal... humanoids.

What?!?! Humanoids. I'm not alone on this rock am I?

Daisy: It appears not sir.
