Aeryn slipped out of the water onto the ledge where her items were. She stretched her body, the euphoria of her recent actions pumping through her body and she felt better than ever. When her body was dry she put on her pilot suit and then ran her fingers through her damp hair to try and dry somewhat to a usable level. When it got dry enough, she pulled it into a ponytail and lifted her helmet onto her head.

"Pilot, I suggest we find a place to bunker down for the night" Benny said standing up and Aeryn made her way up to the pathway where Benny stood watch.

"Alright, Benny, let's go. I saw a facility not far back. We can go there." Aeryn said as she looked back the way they came "I think it's a mining plant." Benny's ocular system flashed in agreement.

"Lets go. This planet has dangerous wildlife especially at night." Benny said after a moment and started down the path. Aeryn a few paces behind him.

About 20 minutes later they came across the facility and it seemed to be that there was someone else was there. There were muddy footprints and the doors were blasted open by which seemed to be.

"Missile?" Aeryn said cocking her head lightly, "That either means it's a Tone, or Northstar class titan."

"Tone requires a lock on to fire unless he wasted his core. But Northstar would have launched more than one salvo. But, then again, it would explain why the doors are blackened and warped on the hinges instead of the entire door being destroyed." Benny said after a moment of examining the area, "there aren't any signed of combat, but let's keep all options in mind and stay sharp."

Aeryn nodded and pulled her Car smg up to her shoulder at the ready, with Benny his leadwall primed and ready as well. A few feet into the facility Aeryn began to hear groans, but they were pained. Almost like whimpers in a way.

"Benny, someone's injured, how we proceed depends on if they're friendly or hostile, you keep an eye out for the titan." Aeryn said loosening her stance, as Benny's ocular system flashed. The two of them continued on until they came to a large room with shipping containers put into such a formation is was almost made like.

Aeryn looked up at Benny and nodded, and she jumped up onto his main body and then called out, "Hello, I am SRS pilot Rank 1 Tsubaki. Are you injured." And benny sent a broadcast that went out to any and all friendly titans. The groaning stopped and Benny got a broadcast back.

"Pilot, they are friendly, they are at the far side of the room, stay attached to my hull and I will navigate us to them." Benny said continuing on through the maze-like room.

A minute or so later they came upon a Northstar titan and her pilot, a male. Aeryn jumped down from Benny's chassis and to the pilot who seemed to be injured.

"Where are you injured, I know basic medical procedures?" Aeryn said trying to help I'm up against a wall when he cried out in pain.

"My arm, I think it's broken." he said holding up his left arm, "I can't move my fingers, I've been here for a few days surviving on rations."

Aeryn took him arm and ran her hands down the entire length of it feeling a sizable knot in his arm about halfway down his forearm. "Hmm. There's quite a lump, but I don't think it's broken, it feels more like a fracture, but the way you were moaning said your injured more than just that.

"Help me stand and I'll show you" he said and Aeryn helped him up. "I need help with my jumpsuit, just remove my helmet and top."

Aeryn took a deep breath expecting the worst but all it is, was a few bruised ribs and a couple of torn abdominal muscles.

"This will be easy to fix" Aeryn said grabbing an injector from her pouch and injecting it into his arm. "Nanobots, they'll get you back into shape within the hour, but your arm might take all night. It's best if we bunker down for the night." she said "My Name's Aeryn by the by, Aeryn tsubaki"

"Studsworth, Charles 'duck' Studsworth" He said smiling lightly as Aeryn pulled off her helmet "It gets cold at night on here, I'm not even sure how I survived two nights here by myself."

Aeryn looked up at Benny "Pilot, he is correct, I am detecting a temperature drop. The best way to conserve body heat, recommended action, huddle together."

"I'll give off my body heat than you, but if we huddle correctly we can both stay warm" Charles said as Aeryn zipped his jumpsuit back up.

"I know, I know, but if you try anything I won't hesitate to break something." Aeryn said.

Charles nodded and lifted his right arm "I promise, your record goes beyond the SRS" he said.

Aeryn sighed and huddled up to Charles, "Whatever, just get some rest. Benny keep a watch out." she said yawning.

"Hazel, help the ronin with the watch, we might've just found a way to get off this planet." Charles said and the Northstar stood up and followed Benny.
