Lifeforms Detected

SAMUS ARAN

Day 2

I awoke today and explored my surroundings. Because this world is habitable, I can breathe the air, and there are resources I can harvest should I run low on supplies. My ship's communications systems are down, so I won't be able to contact the Galactic Federation anytime soon... If ever.

The biomes and terrain of this world are... odd, to say the least. It's as if areas of the planet had been stitched together from the remains of completely different places, with little regard to whether or not they actually fit together. I have come across neighboring structures that seem to be from completely different time periods and locations, with radically different architectural styles. Even the plant life seems to vary from one place to the next.

I am unsure how this is possible, but my priority at this moment is not research. I must scavenge the materials necessary to repair my ship, then I can begin to worry about where, exactly, I am.

Day 7

Progress on repairing my ship has been slow, but steady. If nothing else goes wrong, it will be functional within a month's time. However, I am now faced with another issue; once I have repaired the ship, where will I go? There is a very likely possibility that my universe no longer exists. Perhaps very little will change for me -- I am a nomadic bounty hunter, and I am used to operating alone, but I cannot deny that the prospect of my entire universe no longer existing is a disturbing one. Perhaps I will have to make a home in this strange new world, wherever it is.

Later that night, Samus' ship awoke her from her sleep.

"Warning. Sapient lifeforms detected."

Samus leapt up from her bunk. "Where?"

"Two kilometers southeast from your position."

Samus immediately threw on her power suit and got out of the ship, taking off through the unfamiliar terrain. She wasn't quite sure who -- or what -- she would encounter, but she wanted answers about her strange surroundings. If these lifeforms weren't hostile, perhaps they could provide some. If they were... well, Samus was more than prepared to deal with them.
