You're sure you want this? The research isn't everything." Said Cal the captain of the space vessel that I was currently on as I started up the shuttle with drop pod attached. "It is to me. And Sam. I need to know what happened." I replied back. "The meteor storm--" Cal pronounced. "I can use it for cover from alterra's eyes." I told him. "Gonna miss you, Robin." Cal said sadly to me. "I'll find my way back." I reassured him. I thought I was going to make it down without a problem. "Approaching 4546B temperature is--" the shuttle computer started to say, then a big chunk of the meteor else following broke off and hit the shuttle. "Drop pod deployed."the shuttle computer said. I nearly lost control of the shuttle but was able to bring it down safely on snow covered land. I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt and went to the exit though I had to kick the door down just to get out. Once I was out the shuttle computer said. "Welcome to 4546B enjoy your stay." And then the shuttle exploded I was fine of course but now I had no way off world, gets off to find my own way off at some point. Anyway after looking around a bit I noticed that there were some supplies scattered around the area water bottles, nutrient bars, in flares that I could use if necessary, so I went to go gather all that stuff up, after that I checked my ex no works PDA and read some stuff I would need to know to survive on this world. After checking all that stuff I decided it was time to head for the water and see if I can find the drop pod. "holy smokes that did not go as planned! I should find a way into the water, and get to the drop pod." I told myself. After getting into water and catching a few fish I headed to where my HUD told me the drop pod was but when I saw the drop pod what I saw swimming around it made me at first question if I'm actually seeing this take a few double takes and then squeal like a schoolgirl because there were two creatures swimming around the drop pod that I never thought I'd ever see. Before I tell you what I saw I must let you know that I'm a fan of old cartoons especially ones that drawn in more than their target audience and one of these cartoons was My Little pony friendship is magic so yes I'm a pegasister so you can guess that I saw two creatures that resemble creatures from the show One look to be a siren the other as far as I could see from where I was look to be a half pony half shark but it had both it's four legs and hind legs from what I can see so I decided to get a little closer but when I did something caught my eye they both seem to be wearing parts of AEP suits on areas that you wouldn't want out in the open if you're human which makes me think these creatures are anthropomorphic or in other words they had somewhat human proportions now I've seen a anthropomorphic level scale and if I had to guess I would say they are level three if only because the shark one has webbed claws and the siren seems to have fingers otherwise there's a size of level two anthros. I tried making my way a little closer but then I heard one of them say."Look Mom a human you don't think she's with the altarra corporation do you." "I don't know, but if she is she's in for a hell of a fight."said the one that is now established as the mother of the two. Then the mother spoke up again asking. "So out with it are you with alterra?" Not wanting to be attacked by either of them I answered ~~~shark pony's POV~~~ "No I am not with alterra." the Young woman replied. "Then who are you and why are you here with a drop pod that is clearly alterra property?" my mother asked in a bitter tone. She said."I have a feeling you don't like alterra just about as much as me if not more, so since there's no need to lie, my name is Robin the drop pod I procured without altera knowing about it--" mom interrupted her saying. "So you stole it" "more or less they owe me even though they won't admit it my sister used to work for them but then she died under mysterious circumstances and I'm here to find out what happened to her I have a feeling alterra themselves are at fault." That's when I piped up for the first time since Mom asked her the question saying. "Oh man I'm sorry for your loss, I also lost a sister to alterra not because she was working with them but because she put her trust in one of the higher-ups of alterra and he betrayed her when we found out he captured her and did experiments on her it was too late, we couldn't save her that's the reason why we hate alterra so much." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking honey?" my mom asked me. "If you're thinking we should help her find out what happened to her sister then yes I am."I replied. "Thank you, having more than one creature helping me out figuring out what happened is greatly appreciated. by the way what are your names?"Robin asked. "Well I am Melody." my mom replied. "And I'm razor tooth."giving my name as well. "All right well I got to get into the drop pod to see what items I need to build a scanner in a couple other items guess I'll talk to you two in a bit."she said and an off she went. ~~~Robin's POV~~~ After talking to Melody and razor and being thankful that they decide to help me find out what happened to my sister I went into the pod. "Found the drop pod!"I said to myself.
