Entry Log 7.1
Finally...A moment to gather my own thoughts.
Got myself a new job and I don't hate my boss yet.
Got a room to call my own.
Got a stable income.
Got a place to make new friends.
Got through a event I won't forget...at all.
(Outside Noises)
Great…Now I got to start over again.
The First Week (Or 'How I learned to get along with others.')
The local fauna of the island was staying still until the wind made it move on occasion. The surrounding sands near the water were pushed back and forth by the waves. Everything seemed to be calm and peaceful.
The wildlife ventured out from the land further in, searching for its next meal. The crab, leaving its 'home' to be in the ocean. The home being the busted hull of a decent sized beached ship. There were other crabs in there, but they didn't care about the one that left to resolve its hunger.
It searched through the water, grabbing a massive fish. The fish flopped in panic after getting placed on the land after the crab left the ocean with it.
The big crab...er...man-sized crab started eating the fish as it heard some noise coming from above.
The mini UFOs landed on the sand as their occupants left the craft by waiting for the glass dome to open up.
Stepping out first was a shorter than average young man, wearing a lab coat over a nice set of formal clothes with brown shoes.. Though it was important to note his outfit had formal looking shorts in lieu of actual pants.
Moving on from clothing, the young man had white hair that had a little bit curl up near the front. His eyes or irises specifically, were in the color of red. Then there was his green-ish skin that further cemented that he was different.
The other pilot stepped out of their ride, getting its tentacles onto the sand. The creature looked around before moving to stand by the side of the young man.
"So...Our task is to locate a specimen that was codenamed by the Rebel Army as a 'Chowmein-Conga' and return with a DNA sample. Any questions?" The young man asked the creature next to him.
"Jreovwioel wkwnvlenv vwklnvwlnv" was the response that was given back.
"Please turn on your translator, I couldn't understand what you said in 'Martian'."
The 'Martian' (or 'Mars Person' from now on) pulled up one of its limbs, turning a dial on a device equipped said limb.
"I didn't have any questions, Voxl." The Mars Person said via translator.
"Then we better get looking…" 'Voxl' replied before scanning over the area around them.
The lab coat man eventually spotted the giant crab eating the fish before they both checked that the crab matched the descriptions of a 'Chowmein-Conga'.
The lone Chowmein-Conga looked up to see the two approaching it as it chewed on fish meat. Then in a sudden, the man-sized crab stopped eating as it charged towards the two.
The Mars Person ended up pulling out a small alien pistol and fired a few times at the Chowmein-Conga. The orange bubble like projectiles connected and caused the crab to reel in pain before it backed off.
Retreating back to its fish, the Chowmein-Conga scooped up small amounts of meat as it watched the two.
Voxl asked his partner, "Did you make sure to bring a capture ring emitter?"
"No...I left it back in your lab for repairs." The Mars Person retorted before continuing with, "Perhaps it's better if we end this one's life and take its remains back with us?"
Voxl sighs for a moment. "I'd prefer if it was alive, but it would be easier to do what you think."
"Okay, then who has to transport the sample?"
"Easy, you're doing it because my mini UFO isn't going to smell like dead crab."
"Fine...But you better make sure my emitter gets back to me fixed." The Mars Person retorted.
And with that, the Mars Person moved towards the man-sized crab and fired his alien weapon. The projectiles hit the crab and make it collapse to the ground and stop moving.
Voxl and the Mars Person end up dragging the Chowmein-Conga to the mini UFOs and place inside the one the Mars Person was using. Voxl returned to the one he was using and the two ascended into the sky shortly.
The mini-UFOs went up higher and higher until they stopped to let the bigger spaceship pick them up. Clouds can be seen way below as the sky above was clear, clear enough to see the stars if the sun was not up.
The more massive ship showed up and opened its entrance port, activating the tractor beam. The beam of blue encased the two smaller spacecraft in a few seconds later.
The beam brought the small UFOs inside before closing the entrance. The spaceship then started moving again.
After the mini-UFOs were dropped off into the hanger, Voxl and his Mars Person partner had to carry the Chowmein-Conga to the lab.
As those two did that, they passed by more Mars People. The Mars People were doing tasks around the ship in a organized manner. Some were training with their weapons, others were moving equipment around, and the rest were just cleaning the ship with whatever was on hand (or tentacle in this case.)
"Turn right. I said, turn right!" Voxl said as his arms started hurting from carrying the man-sized crab.
A turn in the corridor was the last obstacle in their way to their destination. The two end up getting into the lab and dump the crab onto a table as the books and notes already there do not get pushed onto the ground.
The lab was different compared to other rooms in the ship. For one, the equipment and furniture inside was clearly made for a human in mind than the average Mars Person.
"Thanks for helping…" Voxl said as he gave his arms a rest.
"And I will thank you once our task is over. Where did you leave that device that extracts blood?" The Mars Person noted before looking around the room.
"Check my desk first. If it's not there, then check the moving cart." Voxl stated as he scanned over the Chowmein-Conga.
The Mars Person found the blood extractor on the nearby desk and handed it to Voxl. The device was then inserted into the crab as a small amount of blood was collected…
...As the Chowmein-Conga woke up and started going nuts. Voxl backed off as the crab fell off the table and saw the two beings that attacked it earlier.
The crab then started swiping at the green-skinned human with its claws as he barely dodged out of the way.
The Mars Person pulled his alien weapon and fired at just the right moment. The projectile struck the crab just as it was about to hit Voxl's throat and made the creature collapse once again for the last time.
"Sorry, I thought it wasn't alive...Must have been unconscious during the whole trip back." The Mars Person said in a disappointed tone.
"... … … ...Don't worry about it as much, I thought the same thing." Voxl replied.
The two continued their work after making sure the Chowmein-Conga was not alive. The blood sample ended up getting into a glass vial that was then given to the Mars Person.
"Okay, you can handle the rest, right?"
"Yes. I'll take care of things from here…" The Mars Person said...before he ends up dropping the glass vial.
It shatters upon hitting the ground, leaving Voxl to sigh in disappointment.
"Give me a sec, I'll get another blood sample."
It turns out that this particular Mars Person had trouble holding glass vials...As the lab soon became littered with broken glass and crab blood on the floor.
After going through 4 glass vials, Voxl tries to extract blood once again, before he sees that the Chowmein-Conga started to turn into green goo from decaying.
Extracting the last bit of blood possible, Voxl transferred it into a glass vial. He also made sure to collect the liquid that was once a crab into a vial as well.
"Okay...This is the last blood vial we have. MAKE sure you don't drop it this time." Voxl noted in a annoyed tone.
"I promise I will complete this task by keeping this vial safe and sound."
"Then get going before you end up breaking it."
The Mars Person held onto the glass vial with several tentacles as it left the lab….before tripping and falling as it just got out the door.
The result was a broken vial...Which Voxl took as the sign he had to do the rest of the task.
Grabbing the vial with the green crab liquid inside, Voxl left his lab to deliver the vial to the cloning room on the ship. The Mars People in there took the vial and placed the contents into a DNA scanner machine.
The Chowmein-Conga DNA got separated and recorded into the data bank that was in the same room. A quick round of appreciative words were given by the Mars People as Voxl left.
Returning to the lab, Voxl found his partner down in the dumps as it cleaned up the glass and blood.
"...I...I'm really sorry for the mistakes I made. In order to make it for it, I'll let you keep my emitter device...If you'll accept it." The Mars Person stated as he saw Voxl walk in.
Voxl remained quiet for a second before responding back with, "No...I won't accept it. You can keep it...After I make sure it's fixed."
Some time passed as Voxl fixed the emitter and handed it off to his partner. The partner thanked Voxl for being nice despite what happened before leaving to let Voxl get back to his own work.
The man went back to work on making a new machine based on pre-existing tech on the ship. After sketching down a rough concept of the machine, Voxl left to gather the parts.
Entry Log 7.2
With everything finally being quiet again, I can mention my thoughts…
(Outside Noises)
(The log catches audio of the person slapping their hand into their face in frustration.)
Forget this, I'm doing this another time.
