*1800 hr*

I wake up with a soreness in my back. I roll over on my side and see Caleb sleeping under his chair with a makeshift pillow under his head. I use the crease in the wall to stand up. I let out a big yawn as I stretch my arms above my head. I pop my neck rubbing the nape of my neck after each side pops.

I grab my PDA from my chair and check the time, the screen reads "18:36 time may differ on new planet" I put the tablet back onto my chair and grabbed some leftover food. I put the leftovers in my mouth in one bite. As I chew up the leftovers I climb up the ladder. I open up the top hatch and climb onto the top of the lifepod closing the hatch behind me, but leaving it cracked so I can get back inside.

I sit down with my arms propping me up from behind. I face the Aurora just like I did earlier that day, but now the night sky makes the flames on the Aurora look bigger. With a sigh I lay back putting my hands behind my head. I stare at the stars just lost in my own thoughts. As I start to close my eyes to fall back asleep I see a red flare shoot up above me.

I sit up with haste and open the top hatch. I slide down the ladder with each foot on the side of the ladder. "Caleb get up!" I yell while grabbing my wetsuit out of the closet. I turn to see Caleb just stir at my yelling but he doesn't wake up. I throw the hanger that was previously holding my wetsuit up at his head. The hanger bounces off into another part of the lifepod. Caleb sits up with a bit of fear and confusion. "Flare, red flare. Let's go!" I say as I throw my shirt off into the corner I was sleeping in.

Caleb grabs his PDA and turns on the compass and shoots to the top of the lifepod finding where the flare was shot from, he hurries down the ladder. He rushes to his closet for a wetsuit, he opens the door with to much force opening a secret storage we didn't know about. I take off my pants and throw them to the side, soon followed by my underwear. I grab the once wet underwear and slip them on with my wetsuit right behind them. While Caleb is getting in his wetsuit I go through the extra storage to find two fully functional air mask with an orange frame.

The mask has a small tank attached with a tube. I attach the tank and mask to the right side of my waist. I grab a small water bag and fill it with our extra food, water, and med kit and throw the bag across my shoulder. Caleb finishes dressing and grabs a mask attaching it like I did. Caleb grabs his PDA watch and puts it on. He grabs his PDA and sends the compass and area of the flare to my watch, along with marking our own lifepod on the map.

I open the bottom hatch and put on my mask which fits perfectly from my hairline to the bottom of my chin and across my jawline fully covering my face. I hop through the hatch into the water below. I move to the side of the hatch and wait for caleb to jump through. I see Caleb's body shoot through the hole, when Caleb gains his senses I show him how to get the earbuds out of his watch. We both put in the earbuds then start to swim toward the flare site.

We swim toward the destination of the flare we start to see different creatures. For 20 minutes we stayed in the same calm area that we crashed in. We tried to stay at the top of the water for most of the swim, only using the tank for when we really needed to use the air. I stop Caleb when we reach the edge of a kelp forest, unlike the ones back on earth this one has glowing seeds on the kelp and it was a lot murkier.

I let Caleb take a small break, unlike me he wasn't naturally athletic his strengths are with technology but he is pretty fit for his dislike of working out. I hand off the extra bag to Caleb and dive under the water to check the kelp forest before we swim through it. I swim through the kelp pushing it out of my way as I swim in the direction of the flare site, I swim 10 feet into the kelp forest without seeing anything.

I turn around to return to the resting spot and my leg is caught in the Kelp. I try to pull my leg free with no luck, I swim back to the kelp strand that is holding me back and tear at it loosening it a little at a time. I hear a loud growl from behind me I turn quickly and see some shadow in the kelp a few meters away.
