Karkat checked the tent and Sollux wasn't there. It was if he had been abducted by some form of species from another planet. If any other planet exists. He would decide on a word for the species later. Karkat was starting to get worried. He couldn't find Sollux anywhere.
Several hours of looking later, he found him. He found him lying face-down in the sand several hundred metres away from the tent. He must have tripped and hit the rock next to his unconscious body. Why would he be out here anyway? Karkat decided to take him back to the tent. They were losing precious time, and that made him very annoyed that Sollux was unconscious. Oh god. It looked as if Sollux has urinated all over his pants. Man, that guy has a child's bladder.
Karkat hauled Sollux back to the tent, and then began to look for any spare clothes that they had. Oh great, just what he needed. They had no spare clothes, apart from Karkats jacket, which he didn't want to get rid of. Maybe there was some other way? No, Karkat had to do this. The guy had saved his life, and he owed him. After all, it was his fault that Sollux's hive was now a pile of rubble. He would have to somehow turn his jacket into trousers. Karkat removed his jacket, and then ripped off the sleeves. He would have to turn them into the leg parts. He then took off his belt, and used it to keep the jacket in a shape that would hold. The legs were then intertwined with the main part of the jacket, and using Karkats creativeness, he soon had a brand new set of trousers.
Karkat left the tent, leaving Sollux unconscious on the soft, cold sand. He probably wouldn't be awake for a while; and it looked like a pretty bad wound, as the back of his head was all swelled up and bruised. He wondered what Sollux was dreaming about. Oh yes, the case. Karkat sprinted furiously over to the place where he had left it.
He opened the strange crate. Oh look, it was a laptop! This would come in handy! He quickly tried the power button. Damn, no charge! Oh well, it looked like it was useless. 'Wait, Sollux might be able to come up with a solution,' thought Karkat. He dragged the crate back to the tent.
