Alandra walked out of her relatively small vessel and onto the grassy surface of the first subject of her visits. She surveyed her surroundings, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Just some hills, a mountain, a few cliffs, and a couple of caves and boulders. As good a place to start as any. She inhaled the fresh air of the virtually uninhabited planet and smiled. She was finally free from the constraints of indoor life. She turned around and smiled as her new friend followed her out of the ship.
The being in question resembled a green caterpillar, but its exoskeleton was red, and it was relatively large, almost up to her knee. Most people would find that frightening, or even terrifying, but Alandra was no insectophobe. She legitimately cared for it and enjoyed its company. Ever since the Krawl incident, this creature, and others like it, became more and more common, along with the objects and devices affiliated with them. Checking her Prizmod, she and her friend began searching the nearby ground for anything useful.
And that was how her Spectrobe adventure began.
