Graham jerks awake after that lady said wake up. He feels his face and He's bleeding but was also crying while knocked out. The Pilot Deck seems to be a mess but nothing really damaged other than their controls. That's going to be a tricky thing but if the workshop is working properly then it's going to be awhile. He suddenly feels himself getting pulled into a hug? It feels like someone is trying to crush him.
"Graham! I was worried you were in a coma." Leslie has been worried about Graham being in a Coma like he wasn't waking up. The idea of Graham being in a coma while they're on a new planet was pretty bad in her view. She's able to control her crystals but it's more like directing where they grow and when they do. It would be bad for the experienced superhuman of the group to be out of commission. "Now, What was that scary as fuck space cloud?"
Alloy suddenly boots back up and appears in the room's center. She's freaking out about this whole thing and the ship's systems basically scream at her from the back log of alerts. That knocked out her systems for a while but no important data was corrupted, Only some personal files like pictures or fun recordings. She lost some of her favorite personal files. "We ran right into an Abstraction field, What the most unlucky time to leave a planet..."
"Yeah... That was an Abstraction field, It's a pretty dangerous thing to come across in space." Graham feels her hug loosen as she hears about this Abstraction field. It's something weird to hear about but Alloy and Graham have some experience in these things. "This is the second time that me and Alloy experienced that."
"Ugh, I had no idea that this existed in the universe but It feels familiar..." Leslie lifts up Graham and suddenly sets him down into his seat. She had some minor cracks and some chipping while Graham was experiencing soreness. It was a bit fuzzy but she felt like she had seen it before. "What is an Abstraction field?"
"It's a field of energy that forms throughout the universe, No one knows how but that's how people first developed abstract Code." Alloy was a bit surprised at Leslie being this uninformed in space travel, Did they have cut backs in pilot education? "We have some hypotheses about how they work and flying into one could throw you to any place around the universe."
"It feels familiar, Why is the memory of me going into one this... Fuzzy?" She rubs her forehead while trying to remember encountering that. A knot in her gut gives her some discomfort while trying to recall her encounter. It's a pretty gross feeling but it fades as she stops focusing on this memory. "I think that's why I crashed on that planet..."
"Well, you did gain a whole new type of body that might explain why those memories are fuzzy." That's Graham's idea of what's going on with Leslie. A massive change in biology wouldn't have side effects and his body just stings all over when he stands up. It's going to be an interesting time for them on a new planet. "I'm a bit slower than usual but It's good enough to scout around this area."
"A bit slower? Graham, You're clearly in pain." Leslie sighs at him leaving the room. That guy is going to get himself killed. Well, She can't look down on that way of life from her actions back at her old home and the kind of pilot she is. "Alloy, Will you be able to leave the ship? I'm going with Graham."
"I will be mostly busy with ship checks but one part of me can follow along." Another projection of Alloy appears by Leslie. It's a bit weird for Leslie to see two of Alloy's projection in the same room but she just start walking out of the pilot deck. "Please, Be careful about this place."
The Ship crashed through countless trees and half buried into the dirt. The pleasant shade from these giant trees makes this place much better than that wasteland planet. Graham was stunned at how amazing this level of plant life is. The forest floor has some smaller plants which catches his attention. It's completely different from any plant on that wasteland planet. Leslie walks out with Alloy to greet him.
Leslie looks around at the forest area with surprise. They really landed on a completely different planet and Alloy is quick to notice something is off. She floats down to one of those trees for a few seconds before getting confused by something then starts to understand. "These aren't plants at all and judging by my scans, They're genetically engineered but something still seems off."
"They look like a species of Oak trees, Is this place a complete colony?" Graham quickly noticed how similar these are to some of those trees used in making a complete Earth colony. He doesn't understand what seems off to Alloy, These are just normal Oak trees to him. "What seems off about them? They seem rather healthy."
"I lived on a Space Station Colony for my whole life, So the most I've seen decorative Palm trees in the mall section." Leslie has no context on tree life like these two. She let's out a sigh when the two give her a look. "What? I know nothing about tree stuff and I wanted to say something..."
Leslie kicks a rock before walking off to look around the area as those two talk about weird trees. She doesn't really have any science background, So this is out of her skill set. Alloy floats closer to Graham when she understands more about why this tree is off. He notices a hint of green which he notices for a second. "Hey, Alloy... Are you okay?"
"Yup! Just some stress on my analyzing ability, I need to take it easy after the crash." Alloy should be more careful, That crash messed up her systems for a while and she just rebooted. Some data checks might be helpful if she missed any corruption. "Anyway, The trees don't share any relation to Oak trees and something about their structure is odd."
Leslie has walked a small distance from those two. This forest is more quiet than expected which feels odd for such a healthy forest area. A small rumble is felt before and something huge bursts out of the deeper forest. A Giant ape towers over Leslie who's shocked to see something like that appearing on this planet. "Shit-"
Graham turns around to see Leslie get sent flying into the ship's side from a massive impact by a Giant Ape creature. He looks at it in shock and looks towards how Leslie is doing. That hit clearly caused cracks all over her body but trying to get up has the painful gut feeling. This giant ape lets out a loud roar as it moves towards Graham.
The Giant Ape raises its massive fist to swing at Graham and his reaction is catching the arm when moving to the side. He grips hard on its forearm before using his free hand to punch into this apes joint which forces it to bend in an unnatural way. It lets out a pained roar before blindly going for another swing toward him. A Crystal covered fist impacts into the side of this giant ape as Leslie rushed to enter the fight.
"Sorry for being caught off guard." Leslie forced the beast to lose balance alongside failing in attacking Graham. She's pretty mad at getting punched out of nowhere and getting sent into the ship. The pain in her gut has dulled but it's uncomfortable to move, Nothing is normal about this pain. Was she sick? A Health problem? That's concerning for her.
"It happened to me as well, Don't worry about it!" Graham shifty moves forward with his Umbrakinesis forming a starry blade to stab into the Giant ape. He forces the blade upwards through its upper body and sprays this kinda sticky blue gel which confuses him. That opening allows it to punch in a left hook motion and sends him a good few feet to the left.
He looks towards this giant ape with a grin. The torso wound seems deep but it's much tougher than a normal animal, Whatever it is seems interesting. This blue stuff smells like blood but seems much different since the bleeding basically stopped in seconds after cutting into it. Alloy has already started some analysis on the ape which is harder when it's moving around.
"That doesn't make me feel better, Graham." Leslie jumps up with her Crystallized fist quickly develops a more overgrown and wild shape before impacting the ape in her punch. Her added spikiness on this fist tears into the skin of the beast's face. She uses her other crystallized hand to hook into its shoulder to keep punching into its face.
The 4 meter giant tries to rip her off itself with no success from Graham stabbing into its arm. He's holding off the hand from grabbing Leslie while she messes up its face, The struggles of this beast does nothing as her grip is solid on it. There's a limit for this giant ape, It falls to the ground with its face caved in by Leslie's fist. She flicks her hands forward to try get some of the blue goop off before speaking. "Whew, That felt good to let out some stress."
"You two defeated a Primeval beast? Interesting" A figure wearing a short black cape who's standing in a tree top. They've been watching these two fighting since that beast appeared and is pretty impressed by them taking that thing down. They jump down from the tree top and some green sparks emits from their body. "I'm Caelan Samson, Second Lieutenant of village guard."
