Crack!
The little red escape pod ended its descent suddenly, striking something, though Zana couldn't see a thing. The collision had severely damaged her spacecraft, rendering its onboard computer useless and she could not get a visual on the outside world. She opened a hatch and had to dig her way out, before staring at the planet she crash-landed on. She climbed up a nearby railing for a better look around after, well, not being able to see much of anything from the ground. Things were a LOT bigger here.
Well, at least there was a sign nearby. Zana pulled out her translator and hoped for the best. She could only get it to read the bottom of the sign as she was too short to reach higher.
Translating. Please wait...
Warning: Mountain Lions in the area.
What you should do if you see a lion:
Make yourself appear larger. Do not run from a lion. If attacked, fight back.
Zana tapped on "mountain lion" to see what those were.
"How am I supposed to appear larger than that!" she shouted at the microcomputer in her hands. Shaking her head, she turned on the locator device the crew kept on them in case of emergencies. Another light was already flashing on the screen. Squinting, she saw that it belonged to Brawzen. Tucking the computer back into its pouch, she headed off to find the cyborg.
It was a long journey for such a small bean but hitching a ride on a two-wheeler ridden by an unobservant giant made the trip much faster. When she finally arrived, the good ship Norfol's black box was waiting for her. She opened the capsule and out poured limbs and a body. Carefully she pieced her friend back together. Snapping the last leg back on, she pushed his power button and waited for him to boot up.
As his light display flashed on, he asked "Where am I? Zana? Is that you?"
"Yea, it's me. We are on a planet run by huge lions that eat you if you bend over. I think I saw a few leading the larger, less hairy giants to their prey. Come on, we have to find the others."
Brawzen scanned around him, registering the scene before him with his computer interface. "Zana, I think the giants are actually the beasts' owners. According to my sensors, those aren't lions, but rather K-9 companions. But I do agree. We must find the captain and the crew. I think we are unlikely to survive without them, seeing as we are at a sizable disadvantage on this planet."
The two headed off, tracking the new light that appeared on the radar: Rolf.
Zana left behind a code. Collect all the codes from the crew to find the ship.
