Chapter 2 - Day 2

Having a peaceful sleep I awoke refreshed and energized with vague plans for the day. After constructing a table chair to have food at I had breakfast it was quite boring some unknown meat definitely not human sadly and some vegetable paste well I suppose it wont go bad any time soon or ever. Having forgotten to till and plant some fields yesterday I got right on that because food other then meat is a must given how rare humans are, planting some rice, cotton, and psychoid plants. That took up most of the day I spent the rest of the day researching microelectronic, so I could figure out which factions might actually be of use on this planet because the neighboring tribals are just going to be a bunch of savages that lost the advanced tech that got them here in the first place. With what little motivation I had to work gone I decided to go and find Kitsuna. Who was still asleep in her bed and given how cute she when sleeping I just stayed and watched for an hour before going outside my hill. Outside my hill it was flat and empty excluding my fields meaning it was time to put up some basic defenses nothing fancy like a kill box just some wooden barricades for cover and a like of boulders around the perimeter of my fields to almost shear cliff of the hill-side with the rudimentary defenses setup. I went back to watching Kitsuna sleep it was oddly calming and meditative. Having calmed my mind from something I felt like going back and finishing the research, however just as I sat down I heard a loud knocking from the front door. Wondering who it was I peak out the peephole next to the door it seems to be a trade caravan though quite heavily armed and armored making the decision to open the door and say hi. The leader named Shawn "Butcher" Man was quite friendly and said "what would you like to trade?" Me being the scrouge I am offered some human meat and was rejected. Getting on in age he asked "Are you from that recent debris rain?" I responded with "you are quite perceptive. What is the name of your faction?" I never got a response with that they left, however while eavesdropping on some of the traders I heard an interesting rumor that a new faction had set up here in recent years calling themselves the Star-Crossed Imperium. Which left me to wonder if they are still around I mean was only seventeen when I left the planet, well technically as I found some archotech technology that quite literally made me immortal and regressed my aging to the point where I look seventeen again. So my actual age as of writing this would be some where in the tens of thousands of years, and to my knowledge I am unique among current gen humans unable to die of aging and super speed healing but it does come at the price of forever being to young to properly party or run anything like an adult at least my mind and maturity can age. Going into my past will have to wait. I hear some noise outside I go to my peephole to peep and see some heavily armed and armored people rushing at my door pulling the charge rifle that I decided belonged on my back permanently off I took careful aim at these raiders center mass. Missing most of my shots I got one in the eye. This didn't deter these raiders, they kept coming firing upon them once more I hit two more the first in his leg and the second one their right arm disabling both one couldn't walk and the other in crippling pain. With three out of five down they retreated I don't think this is the last I will see of them. Anyways the corpse were oddly familiar I go to take the helmet off of the one I hit in the eye and when i get a good look at his face it was Shawn Man, the other were either hired mercenaries or part of his trade group looks like I was right to not let them in my little hill. Hauling the bodies to my butcher room for when I wake up as right now I am quite tired its been a long day...
