Petrichor V Log: Day 1

Four escape pods had left from UES Safe Travels, three had landed in the plains, the emerald blades spanning for miles on end and gigantic stone arches sprouting from the soil. These stone arches were stretched out to be hundreds of feet tall. The last escaped pod had landed somewhere bleak and high.

....

George was the first to land on Petrichor V but had caused the grass surrounding the pod to go up in flames. George had waited for the fire to go out until he couldn't hear any crackles of fire suddenly. Flipping the switch back up, the hatch door slid open. Setting foot on the plains, he noticed one thing. He didn't see or hear any wildlife except for the wind blowing the grass.

"...Why is it... so quiet?"

Slowly pulling out his toolbox, he opened it up. With several construction tools to help for manufacturing any safety precautions and a Winchester Model 1912 with ammo that could be reloaded at least thirty times.

A few minutes later, another escape pod had fallen. Austen popped his head out of the hatch door. He looked around to then notice the massive stone arches popping out of the ground. Austen looked at George using his toolbox as if it were some hard pillow with a blissful expression seen through his helmet. Sighing within his helmet, he stepped out.

"It's silent."

Waking up George suddenly, shouted, "That's.. *yawn* what I said.."

"Where's cap and Van?"

"How the hell should I know? I was the first one who arrived!"

"I was just asking."

A third escape pod landed near them. Watching the fire slowly spread, it suddenly blew itself out.

"Thank god the grass isn't dry or else we'll be fucked."

Vanessa stepped out of her pod and ran towards Austen. Both of them embraced each other for several seconds.

"Get a room."

....

"We should look for any signs of water or food..."

"How do you expect us to find that in a place full of fucking rocks and grass?"

"It's called 'searching'"

....

A purple scaly lizard stood on its hind legs that appeared to be wearing shoulder pads and gloves peered out from a boulder, stalking the likes of the foreigners. Several holes were made and other reptiles with the same appearance crawled out from these holes to then follow the actions of the first.

....

The trio walked across the Titanic Plains to only find nothing except for blue storage units spread about and blue canisters. George walked over to one of the blue storage units, he looked over on the side to only notice a slip of paper stuck on it.

"...Delivery to 'Pugh' of Contact Light. What type of name is that?"

Austen walked towards George and tapped his shoulder.

"Contact Light? That's the ship with the crew we're supposed to be looking for! If this is here, then surely they would be nearby."

Standing up, George slapped Austen's helmet. Austen fell towards the ground with his knees first. Vanessa ran over to help Austen get back up.

"Look around us! Do you see any giant ships? Any life other than this grass?"

....

A reptilian came out from behind a boulder, opening its mouth, a ball of fire started to come out from the lizard's throat.

Vanessa spotted the lizard and immediately pulled an arrow and inserted it into her bow and pulled. Letting go, the arrow passed by George's helmet and shot straight towards its mark. Piercing through the lizard's throat, the fire was no longer there.

"Woah! Watch where you're shooting!"

"Something tried to kill us."

"You could've just walked to the side and then shoot."

"Then your back would be on fire right now."

Five more humanoid lizards came out from boulders and one leaped at the trio from the top of a lower stone arch.
