In the morning, Leslie was the first to awaken. She's used to waking up pretty early from her military training and being on morning patrols, Old habits are hard to kill. It's just how she wakes up but with the worst bed hair possible with it being pretty roughed up. This wasn't a big deal for her before she remembered that there's probably no good hairbrush on the ship. Where is Graham? He's no longer at his sleeping spot.
She notices that Graham has fallen onto the ground and stayed there for who knows how long. Leslie rubs her face, A mess of crystals have grown on one side of it. That feeling freaks her out for a second. Those crystals slowly regress back into her body with a slight pain unlike last time which was odd. How long were those crystals growing? That's going to be for later and solved once learning proper control.... She hoped deeply for her own sake.
"Hey, Wake up, It's morning you sleepy head." She's trying to wake him up while nudging his shoulder with her foot. It's kinda funny that he didn't wake up from falling off the couch. Was her new captain that deep in his sleep? Mornings will be annoyingly slow if that's the case.
Graham rolled on the ground away from Leslie's foot and raised his hand to wave her away. His wound has fully sealed itself within the night, Any scarring might've faded a bit. Flesh wounds are the most easily healed by Minor regeneration abilities but massive spikes in damage causes shock to that level of healing.
"A few more minutes... Huh? I fell down." Graham says while being a bit sluggish from waking up, His body has already recovered from that blood-loss but that still drained him a good bit. He gets up to get back on the couch. "I will take awhile to fully wake up, anyway, How was your first night here? The sounds outside are blocked by the Ship's walls."
"A bed would've been better than this old couch." Leslie didn't feel stiff from sleeping on a couch like this one. Was it from his superhuman body? Did she not have to deal with muscle stiffness like normal humans or was it that it's harder to get while being superhuman? "But it's good to not hear some wild animals outside while you're trying to sleep."
"You two are finally awake? Great! We have some work to do before leaving." Alloy's voice is heard before her small Hologram form is formed out of a pink light to greet Leslie and graham. "Graham, We have to check out those monster's corpses and do some engine checks before take off."
"Ugh, I will go deal with that stuff now." Graham stands up to start walking out of the Living area. He stops at the doorway to look towards Alloy and Leslie. He noticed that Alloy wasn't following him which is a very uncommon thing, So It meant one thing. "Do you have some plans for Leslie?"
"Yup! We need to check on her crashed ship for any usable parts supplies." Alloy says while landing on top of Leslie's shoulder even if she dislikes it or not. There's a good logic behind checking out that ship even after that fight. "I will help her find her ship's location and make sure to inform her about the Wild life on this planet, See you in the lab later!"
"I didn't even agree to that plan but It's a good idea to look through the wreckage for anything usable." Leslie doesn't like Alloy suddenly putting this task on her, However, There might be useful ship parts or usable scrap, Maybe some supplies that got left behind. "I will get going and get started scraping that pile of junk."
"I wish you two luck in that, There's not many dangerous creatures in the morning." Graham waves them bye while walking out of the room. The Lab isn't too far from the Living area and brings back some memories, So it might be pretty dusty from how underused that room is.
His Father would spend hours inside this room and worked tirelessly on his projects or develop his hypothesis on a topic. Graham is saddened to see the Lab area after his Father's death but It's cleaner than the last time it was used, So Alloy must've been maintaining this room without him. He looks towards one of the work desks to see the Harvesting drone damaged.
"Our Drone was damaged while it was gathering the Monster's remains, So we only got the big one." Alloy appears from one of the Computers in the lab. She's takes Graham by surprise by being at two places. "Leslie and I have already felt the ship, We will arrive at her crash site in 14 minutes or more."
"What caused this? This claw shape is off..." Graham looks at the Drone, There's four slashes across it's plating which concerns him about whatever is outside since that's way bigger than anything that he has ever seen. The animals outside wouldn't attack the drone from the sounds it makes. "Alloy, Was there anything else that fell to this planet?"
"Our Scanner detected possible meteorites entering the atmosphere but something is off, Something seems to have scrambled their landing sites." Alloy is slightly confused at this error and starts getting a bit worried about this. "Graham, Something is off about this! I will warn Leslie and report back if she gets into trouble."
Meanwhile with Leslie and Alloy's Second projection. They have been walking for a bit and came across something rather odd. A massive crater was formed by some massive impact and It appears that something is at the bottom. "Hey Alloy, What happened during the night?"
"Our Scanners did detect meteorites falling but I had no idea where they landed" Alloy floats downwards into the crater to see something familiar. A Metallic blob that looks slightly organic and whatever was inside seems to have already hatched- "Leslie! Look out!"
Leslie hears the warning too late as something slashes across her arm with great force and knocks her to the ground. She sees that her arm got four massive Slash marks but no blood... She sees that under her skin are only those Prismatic Crystals. Her eyes widened in the shock of seeing her flesh look like those Crystals.
That monster has the same humanoid base but It has an obsidian appearance with huge claws on its hands. The head is extended to look like the mouth of some dog with blackened fangs that's covered in some inky saliva. This monster looms over Leslie as she freaks out about her whole situation which causes her crystals to grow more wildly than before. Alloy is rushing to alert Graham but it's going to take him a bit to even arrive at this spot.
