Glimmering sliver and blue under the shade of faint sunlight beneath the crashed ship mirai saw what would most likely change her life from that point forward. Filled with excitement she hurried toward the object partially burried in the dirt.
"Is this the source of the signal?."
She thinks to herself, her excitement completely over powers the fear she just felt to the point that it never happened.
She bends over to the burried object and begins un earthing it as the other crew members arrive on the scene.
"We found something that looks like it can make us some big dough in the waste lands of a forgotten world it's cold to the touch, wait something or someone is in that thing could it be the original inhabitants of te'gra ? or something else entirely. I'm getting excited about the possibility of not being the only humer from ter'gra still alive." Captain's log date 9766x
Jack signals the other three by hand to come closer, the three bring with them machine vehicles called forth from their wrist bands on their environmental suits and use to hold the broken ship up as Jack and mirai fully unearthed the object that appear like a coffin shaped sleep pod with cables attached to it's back that Trace to the ship and appear to be fully functional.
Over head the box none of them notices the black figure hovering above the broken ship as it watches them with great curiosity and anticipation for the box to be opened.
"I have waited long enough too long..." it thinks to it's self as it continues to observe and paitiently wait.
Mirai gets up from inspecting the metal box and then raises her hand and waves in circles and then points up and the machines Begin reining the ship toward the landing site with the crew in tow as jack begins disconnect the cables.
Jack sighs with relief as the last of the cables are disconnected.
"alright that's the last of them,now to get this thing to the ships lab for analysis hopefully we can open it and see what is inside."
The black figure thinks to it's self " big mistake idiot" as it refers to Jack and it passes it's hand through his head.
As the they arrive at the ship the bay doors open and the box is loaded in, the broken ship is fitted with gravitational clips making it lighter and it's terthered to the ship and pulled in by tracktor beams as the ship launches taking off to the cloudy sky taking the decirept in tow, flying past the clouds going higher the ship begins it's assent toward space and another ship enters the atmosphere as the scavengers ship leaves .
The scavengers pilot andriod Sheena hails the other ship giving them a warning of the conditions on the surface.
"Departing vessal S.C.S report to arriving vessal, rouge security robots have been sited on the landing site today, but appeared to have suffered severe electrical damage cause unknown."
"Recommendation avoid electrical stroms and residual energy leaks, be on the look out for security drones that may still be active"
"be cautious of brittle ground and loose cables in wet areas, we left some exposive charges behind in sectors 789 and 223 as requested over and out"
she ends the transmission and fully shifts her focus to piloting the ship.
Mirai sits on the captains seat in the cockpit and looks on at the passing with a bored expression on her face, when a message from the ships lab arrives on her communicator.
Mirai opens her communicator and to begins listen to the voice message as she thinks to herself.
"I wonder what Jack found out?."
All of a sudden her face lights up and she gets up from the chair. "
Sheena hold down the fort for me I'm heading to the lab"
she tells Sheena and hurryinly heads to the door. Sheena turns her head and immediatly to look at mirai and returns to her gaze to the controls of the ship.
In the lab Jack is extremely worried as mirai arrives on the scene.
In the background floating above near the ceiling of the lab a Misty figure watches the events transpire with a mischievous smile as it chuckles maniacally.
"Jack what did you mean you made a mistake, you don't make mistakes what is going on?"
Mirai questions Jack with an angry tone of voice. Jack responds with concern.
"disconnecting the cables was a misunderstanding on my part but we need to do something quick other wise the occupant may just die in the stasis pod and .. we we when we could've done something to help or what are going to Do .."
Jack panicks pacing back and forth biting his nails and scratching his head.
mirai slaps Jack and calls for medical support from Greg the ships doctor.
"Doctor hydrax, will you please come to the lab at once and bring the thawmer with you."
Greg arrives in the lab with a thawing medical cylinder like machine and begins to assess the cryro pods condition he turns pale and turns to mirai.
"this is bad we have to hurry and open this pod with out any moment more to lose, Jack get those cables at the back and attach one to this main valve on the side and give it a charge let's say full power then drop it half power fast!"
Jack then quickly carries out the instructions Greg gave him and mirai begins to pry on the pod to forcefull open it.
"Ha ha ha ha ha he he he he he wheeee!." The Misty figure laughs and plays childishly unnoticed by the people in the lab, a string glowing an ominous grayish blue connects it to the occupants body like an umbilical cord .
The pod opens as the current is passed through it then Greg and mirai pick up the occupant of the pod that appears to be a human male and is placed in the medical pod and the thawing is initiated and is slowly thawed out and rivived the occupants eyes open up as if rudely awoken from a long dream.
