Snippet #2412940

He nodded confirming he understood the information, "guess I'm lucky to be alive then, it was quite a bumpy ride, I was so scared that I closed my eyes the entire time hahhahah." The scientist called Thylan seems friendly enough, but of course it was most likely as much as an act as his. He could feel something off about the human but Sya didn't show it and continued the friendly banter. When Thylan invited him into the building, he politely turned it down an said he needed to recover something that he had dropped while running from the jungle's beasts, and realized now that he had collected his wits that they were harmless. Thylan offered to come along but Sya turned him down, " you're the one with the highest authority here, stay and keep an eye out on things here I'll be back in a bit."

And so he left his bundle near the house and set back into the jungle with a single blade. He had noticed the dragon landing with Xi-14 moments before he left and greeted them before leaving, acting surprised to see the dragon.

The rendezvous point was an hour's sprint away, he was unsure of the purpose of the meeting but he awaited further instructions sent by the Univercom. Soon enough, he received a notification from the Shifter satellite that a package from Univercom had arrived. He ordered it to be sent down immediately. It appears he won't be extracted from this system anytime soon, HQ had further plans for him, most likely involving laying down FOUNDATION.

Moments later a 4 foot long capsule touched down and landed perfectly, it's decent slowed down by thrusters. Univercom really did their job well, replying to his signals quickly and sending him supplies. The capsule was absolutely first class, he couldn't even detect it enter the atmosphere, and it was already cooled down by the time he touched it. With a slight pshhhh, the capsule opened, responding to his touch. Inside were multiple items an tools, but most importantly: FOUNDATION tablets.

He read the manual and mission description, and the last lines read, "so simple even a human can do it."

"Simple my ass," he murmured, the installation was complicated as hell and he had to plant 10 of these 2 ton tablets all over the moon. Although laying the FOUNDATION was considered a dirty job, it was a extremely vital one that could determine the entire fate of this system. A normal foundation tablet will tap in directly into the core of the moon, and will absorb the energy of the stars. It will monitor the planet's ecosystem and change the core with star energy to keep the balance. Another plus is that it was an unlimited source of clean energy. Planets with FOUNDATION are often the starting point of Univercom operations to make nearby bodies habitable. Thus they are intending to make contact with the humans, which was unlikely, so they will come in when they are wiped out most likely. It was too early to say, he only needed to do his job.

There was another item that was seperate from the rest: a cube labeled "throw me." His coordinators had a weird sense of humor. So he threw it at a nearby empty clearing. Out of nowhere a gigantic cube structure materialized, it measured 30 feet all around, and he bet it was even bigger inside than it looked. Like all his equipment the cube responded to his touch and opened the doors, all of them. There were doors of all sizes and the interior was incredibly spacious as expected. Design was of the latest technology and he could only stand there grinning, he was a valued member after all. Turns out, it was the latest model of the Tripedal Land Walker, the armor was first rate, onboard weapons were decent, average speed, and all the functions you could think of. The only downside was that it could only walk on land.
Eager to play with his new toy, he had to resist the urge to just walk around in it, he had to get back soon, otherwise the people would get suspicious. He had to do one thing first though, quickly running inside to pick up a magnetic transporter, he drove it to pick up the nearby downed mechs and dropped them inside the cargo hold along with the capsule.

It was time to head back, but he had a hard time hiding the thing... It had built in invisibility but it was a pain to drive it everywhere. As if it read his mind, the walker reverted back into its compact cube form. Sya picked it up, tossed it in the air a few times and began to head back to the temporary settlement.
