While he was unconscious at the bottom of the mountain, his armor which was AA 57H Initiative Class Armor. Third-Rate Gear that was created just for the people heading to AA 57H. Unlike the Andromeda Initiative. He was 700 ft. underneath sea level. Where water should be, but there isn't anything but dying plants, dead fish, and humongous creatures of unknown origin. While Ryan laid there unconscious, 600 km. the scaley creatures that jumped out of ship before impact, started running toward Ryan's location. While the scaley creatures ran toward Ryan's location, back in Shuttle 1, they were under heavy fire by the unknown threat. Jessica said, "This isn't looking good already."

Dr. Lawson said, "According to my network computer, the implant in Ryan was disconnected completely."

Regina said, "Meaning, what exactly?"

Dr. Lawson answered, "Meaning that we can't contact him. His vital signs are still intact. But they are racing. And then it goes back to normal. It's been like that ever since he said "Enjoy yourself." What's your take on this, SAM?"

SAM answered, "Ryan, after jumping off of the enemy air vessel, hit a mountain and rolled down to it. After going to the bottom of the mountain, we lost him completely. He is still alive, but we don't know for how long."

Dr. Lawson said, "Also, the comms unit in his Initiative Armor was disabled or destroyed. So we still can't contact him."

SAM said, "His armor shattered into many pieces. The air here is breathable, but with this threat, a helmet is needed."

Dr. Lawson screeched and said, "Whoops. I didn't bring a helmet."

Georgia laughed and said, "Of course you didn't, Doc. You wouldn't be you if you remembered something so important."

SAM said, "He is lucky this time."

Dr. Lawson sighed and then grabbed his M-3 Predator (Pistol) and then said, "Alright, I'm ready to whoop some ass."

Georgia asked, "What brought the other shuttle down anyway? That shuttle that Ryan fell on."

SAM answered, "Nope. A lightning strike chopped the entire shuttle in half. But once Ryan landed on the vessel, it exploded a little bit. And it started falling and Ryan jumped off afterwards so he wouldn't be caught near the explosion and near enemy territory. His current location is unknown."

Kay asked, "What do you mean by that?"

SAM answered, "Somehow, he is either underneath the planet. Or he's just blocking all of our attempts in contacting him. But all I know is that he's alive. If he's knocked out or not, I can't tell."

Jessica said, "Well, let's get a move on. We're sitting ducks here. Kay, stay with the shuttle. When we give you the signal, you fly in to get us."

Kay said, "Sure thing ma'am."

Regina said, "And we'll be heading to that alien structure, correct?"

Jessica said, "Exactly. Our chances of survival just went from 2% to less than 0.5%. Right, SAM?"

SAM answered, "Yes. These creatures know how to handle a weapon. Be careful."

Jessica said, "Alright men. We're going to the alien structure no matter the cost. We're making this planet change."

One of the beings said in its language, "Nondo Boya."

Dr. Lawson said, "It just spoke."

Regina said, "We noticed that, Doc. Let's move on her command."

Jessica said, "We move as soon as I start shooting. So be ready. Run behind one of the slabs of rock, or debris. Whatever the hell it is."

SAM said, "If Ryan was here, we could analyze the stuff."

Jessica sighed and said, "Well, he did have the tech to scan it."

Dr. Lawson sighed and said, "Oh well, it's worth a shot. Do it."

Jessica stepped out and then started shooting in all directions and the scaley creatures ducked and then SAM said, "There seems to be a camp up ahead."

Jessica said, "We'll head there first. Get a move on it guys."

They started to run out and then hid behind cover and then stood up and they waited for them to appear and as soon as they stood up to fire at them, the Pathfinder Team shot at them killing them all after shooting their heads a couple times. Jessica looked around and asked, "Anyone hurt?"

Georgia said, "I'm good."

Regina said, "I'm fine."

Dr. Lawson said, "Didn't get shot in the head."

Jessica said, "Good enough. Let's move forward toward that camp. That might help us find whatever the hell we're up against."

Regina said, "There is only one shot at this."

Jessica looked at them and then said, "Let's move now. Slowly too. We'll be protecting each other. An enemy attacks, take cover and shoot for the kill. If there's an ambush, then hunt them down. It's that simple."

Georgia said, "Life on this planet isn't simple at all."

Dr. Lawson said, "You could say that again."

Regina started running forward with Jessica and Georgia and Dr. Lawson followed just behind them. Kay watched them move forward and then said, "Sitting back and doing nothing sucks."

SAM said, "Someone needed to keep the shuttle safe."

Kay said, "You might have a point."

SAM said, "If this unknown threat comes for the shuttle, shoot them. That simple."

Kay said, "Nothing is ever simple."

SAM said, "Correct. You are finally getting a hang of things here."

Kay laughed and said, "Shut up."

SAM said, "Sure thing."

As soon as they got half way to their destination, a bullet flew right passed them and Jessica said, "Take cover."

They did and then Jessica and Regina got up and started shooting at them and then after 15 shots, went back into cover and said, "Next."

Dr. Lawson and Georgia stood up and unleashed hell on the rest of them. Jessica asked, "Are there anymore, SAM?"

SAM answered, "Nope. Not till you get to the camp where they are all from."

Georgia said, "I see."

Dr. Lawson said, "Looking at these things. They look like reptilians. But are different from what we are usual to seeing."

SAM said, "That technology in the camp was from the Initiative."

Regina said, "So this was a camp from before the Blue Streak."

SAM said, "Wrong. The Blue Streak has been around for about 4 centuries. This camp has been set here by the human colonists, but failed to do so because of the lightning or the creatures killed them, attacked them, captured them. Everything is unknown as of right now."

Jessica said, "Shit. Do you think that the Blue Streak caused this to happen to the planet?"

SAM answered, "There is a possibility."

Jessica said, "Push forward."

They started running forward and then about 20 km. later, they appeared outside of the camp and the scaley creatures saw them and started shooting at them and they appeared behind Initiative crates and containers and then when they stopped shooting, SAM said, "There are a total of 10 targets hiding inside of the camp. Also, there also seems to be a data log here. We might get some info off of it."

Jessica said, "We might be able to find out what these things are."

They stepped out from behind the cover and started shooting everything in sight and then Jessica said, "SAM, are you still unable to get in contact with Ryan?"

SAM answered, "Yes. Like I said before, the implant was damaged or destroyed on impact. There isn't any chance of contacting him till he finds us."

Georgia said, "That's not good."

Dr. Lawson asked, "What'll happen if he doesn't find us?"

Jessica grinned and Regina answered, "We go look for him."

Jessica said, "We don't know where to look, Regina."

Regina asked, "What was his last known location?"

SAM answered, "0 ft. above and below sea level. Then he went off of the grid after that. And that was about 7,386,299,032 km (4589633435.735 mi.). away from our current position."

Jessica said, "Shit."

Bullets hit their armor and then ducked and Dr. Lawson said, "Lucky me. I didn't get shot in the head."

Jessica said, "Don't worry about a thing, Doc. We got this."

Dr. Lawson said, "I know that."

Georgia said, "There should be only 2 left."

SAM said, "Wrong, 3."

Dr. Lawson sighed and shot the one that appeared behind them and said, "Now it's 2."

Georgia heard that and turned around and saw the scaley creature and said, "Thanks."

Regina said, "We need to succeed."

Jessica said, "For their sakes and the sakes of the 60,000 colonists on the Kronos. Let's give it our all of those that have died and need a home."

Georgia said, "Agreed."

Regina said, "We're with you, ma'am."

Dr. Lawson said, "Definitely. Let's go for it."

Jessica stepped out and then shot the remaining two in the head and then said, "Send us the navpoint to the data log."

SAM said, "Already did. 20 ft away. In the first building there."

Regina said, "Oh, that's easy."

They walked into the first building in the Initiative Camp and then saw the bodies and then said, "A bullet to the head. They never stood a chance against them."

Jessica said, "SAM, have these names written down on a memorial place on The Core once we get there. Samuel Kelly, a Human. Zahi'Yuzu vas Feeji, a Quarian. Veyariya Pejah, an Asari. Vacia Potatis, a Turian. Zertik and Filon Imnore, Salarians. And Vrardon, Kurgal, and Qil Varako, Krogans. They helped out set a camp on Habitat 25."

SAM said, "I have the names memorised in our implants."

Jessica said, "Thank you."

Dr. Lawson said, "Found the data log."

Jessica asked, "What does it say?"

Dr. Lawson opened it up and said, "The Blurg. The Blurg are back after we kicked there asses out of our camp last night. This planet isn't habitable for the humans. We need to find an alternate planet for them. Even though we never knew a thing about this shit. We were hoping something a lot better than this. Some of the people from our camp is being sent back to The Core because of injuries from yesterday's attack. We don't have any doctors here. Oh well, I gotta go now. If anyone reads this, it means that we are either dead or missing. We've been fighting the Blurg ever since we arrived in AA 57H. And good luck out there. Metor'Sheemon vas Caedor."

Jessica asked, "Where is he? He's not with these guys."

SAM answered, "He was either killed outside of the camp, or was kidnapped by the Blurg. That's what I think that they were calling these things."

Regina said, "That's what it seemed like. But this attack was recent. You can tell by the looks of the blood and the stench."

Jessica said, "You really are good at this."

Regina said, "Well, I know what to expect from a death because I used to be a police officer."

Jessica said, "I know. We need to find that Quarian."

SAM said, "Yes we do."

Back to Ryan's location. Ryan was still laying there and then an unknown figure appeared above him and said, "Hm, someone that I don't recognize. He doesn't look like the Blurg. They have scales."

She pinched his cheek and said, "This is all skin and bone. I wonder what species has come to our planet, sisters."

They started walking toward his body and then said, "We should kill him. No, that we be too clean. Let's chop him up into millions of pieces."

The one above him said, "No, we're going to keep him."

They heard that and said, "Whatever you say goes."

She smiled and then said, "Lift him up and take him back home."

Everyone lifted him up and then took off and the second-in-command said, "I hope that you know what you are doing, boss."

She said, "He might be the key to getting our water back. Ever since the White Palse appeared 400 years ago, our water has been gone and we can barely reproduce anymore. He might be able to activate the Yelaretian Menhirs on Geograine. And all of the other planets in the AA 57H Galaxy."

The second-in-command said, "Yes ma'am."

They followed them and then said, "What'll happen next?"
