1 week AC (after crash)
Inside one of the ships, a woman with short bck hair is standing in one of the entrances of the embreyotic chamber, overlooking down below the empty artificial wombs that once done, would house the next generation of humanity.
On one of the consoles below, multpile people are present, working to make the systems shielded from RadX. One person on the consol a woman with brownhair typed a series of commands, then once she executed it she showed an anoyed expression.
"The 6th,8th monitoring systems need more shielding"
"On it"
One of the two engineers that was under of the console below slid out and grabbed a can of RadX coating with a coating gun, and ran he off to the said systems.
The short haired woman heard foot steps and check over the balcony to see what was going on, she saw a person walking quickly towards one of the spires in the chamber holding somekind of spraygun and a can. She looked down towards the fraustrated scientists and engineers.
"Hey Liz!"
"What?"
The brown haired woman replied.
"Can I help?"
"Not really.... But can you bring more cans of RadX here"
"Ok"
The short bck haired woman then left the chamber and walked towards the area where they setup a temporary factory. Once she arrived she saw a room full of apparatuses and 2 people standing in watch, one engineer and one scientist that were both men. Both were discusing something so the short haired woman decided to wait for their discussion to end. She could not understand much of their jargons but she picks up a thing or two. Improvement, maintenance and alternatives to the current designes they used.
After a while the discussion is still ongoing and there was no sign that they would stop anytime soon. so she decided to interupt by coughing.
"Ahem"
The two people turn their heads behind them with blinding speed, as if they were caught of guard.
"Uhhh, yes?, miss Leia"
"Sorry to interupt but i need another 12 cans RadX coatings"
She expined to the two.
"Ohhh right, uhhh there is only 8 of them right now"
"Its fine ill take it"
She replied
"Ok, let me help you"
The engineer said to her
"No its fine"
She replied as she tries to carry all 8 cans on her self by stacking them on top of the other. She tries to walk out of the chamber but once she exited the cans started to lean over to the side threatening to fall over. If not for the support of the engineer who just looked her in the eyes.
"Ok fine"
She then lets the engineer carry half of her load, then they started walking towards the embreyo chamber. Once there the engineer pced it neer the others and then left immedietly.
"Thanks"
leia said
"No problem"
The engineer then immedietly left.
Leia then walked up to Liz then pced the cans near her.
"Hey Liz, do you know his name?"
"Hmmm, ahh mr Mark, why?"
"Nothing"
Leia then started to go back to the balcony to idle waiting for anymore opportunity to help. Because currently being one of the educators, she cannot help much with the current situation. So naturaly she wants to help as much as she can.
She rested for a bit then she heard a crackle on her communications device that is on her ear.
"Ms Selena, Ms Leia please report to gate 1, we have a situation. I repeat M-"
Leia stood up from her seat and called to Liz.
"Hey Liz ill go now the captain is calling me to gate one"
"Ok.... Gate one isnt that the main entrance?"
"Yeahh, ill go there now, ill just tell you all ter"
"Alright"
Leia then started walking with a brisk pace. Once she entered the passcode on the massive door. It started to open to which she exited the ship. Outside she saw 3 mechs, 2 of which is currently pointing their weapons at something from afar the third mech being the captains is empty.
"I wonder what is going on"
-----
Few minuites ago
In one of the expanding clearings. One of the mechs is efficiently clearing the forests. One by one the trees fell either by bashing it with the cws or using another tree as a club to fell the other trees. With every tree that is felled is cleaned out of its leaves and branches leaving only the log.Following the mech were people with exoskeletons that are collecting the freshleaves that once their basket is full they bring back to the base.
In doing this routine they have cleared another 10 meters from the base bringing the total amount of clearings they have to 90 meters since the crash.
Inside the cockpit of the mech the captain is expertly piloting the mech, leaving no room for inefficiencies. Then suddenly a report sounded in his pod.
"Captain this is alpha 3 we have ...... a visitor. gate one 200 meters away moving towards us slowly"
"Copy, moving in"
He then switches to another channel.
"Alpha 2, move in to gate one"
"Copy"
A few minuites ter they were all gathered at the gate though still scattered unlike the huddled up formation they did during the stampede. They were 10 meters apart from one another. Preventing any colteral damage if the enemy could do an aoe attack. In the middle is the one called alpha 3. And on the sides is alpha 1 and the captain.
"Anything else?, alpha 3"
"Nothing yet sir"
Alpha 3 replied in the coms
They waited and once nearing the clearing they opened their thermals to reveal the siluette of the creature that appeared.
Human?
The captain though to him self.
Once the creature neared the tree line it stopped. This time instead of thermals the captain switched to his optics.
They're simir to humans, except the white hair and grey skin and are those pointy ears?.
The captain observed through his feed.
"All units standby ill go meet our ,human visitor "

(Pov Ash Skinned person)
Earlier
As the person walked through the jungles she began to hear weird sounds like metal whining and straining as well as trees falling one by one in the distance.
Hmmm how do i approach them, without scaring them of course.
She then saw the end of the treeline to which she started seeing movement and also the trees stopped fslling to the ground.
Well thats weird, do they see me?
I stopped at the edge of the tree and waited for their response. After a while one of the massive construcs made of metal started approaching me rapidly. It scared me a little as I did not expect it to be able to run faster than a steed let aloung it being 4 times bigger and definitly more heavier.
Just as it was about to reach the edge of the trees it stopped around 30 meters away from me.
Why did it stop that far, is it saying for me to come forward?. Oh well i guess I shou-.
My thoughts were cut off once i sensed somehing behind me or rather above me. I sensed it as something familiar.
A drake? Here?
It was a flying creature that was currently flying towards us. And as it flew towards us its presence shook the magic around me getting stronger and stronger everysecond i stood there, and slowly it started to overwhelm me.
Dragon?, oh no thats not good i have to warn them.
I then started to hear its heavy wingbeat.
"HEYYYYY RUUUUUN!!!"
i shouted to them, but its no use they did not move an inch, they were frozen in fear.
I faced the dragon and started to charge up my magic aiming at the dragon that is slowly coming to view. Its wingspan was around 12 meters and as it flew by the trees it left a turbulent wake that made the trees sway violently.
Then i heard 3 loud explosions behind me then shortly after i saw blue streaks of light hit the dragon in the center and causing a rge explosion that bsted the dragon appart like its made of wood.
I looked back and saw that one of the metal beasts was smoking and glowing red hot. Then the chest of the beast rose up like a can then something stepped out. It was a person but they dont have pointy ears or grey skin. Instead they have light brown skin and rounded ears. The only simirities is the hair which is white, he also has facial hair that has some streaks of bck mixed in it.
Also notably the person is two heads taller than me. And is looking quite old.
He's probably somewhere in his 50s
"Hello nice to meat you im Jim
The person then extended his gloved hand that is attached to a metal frame that is tied to his back.
What?, I don't understand it, oh right different nguage. Its probably in the realm of hello im something. Also is this how they great eachother do i grab it?
"Hello my name is Amira"
I extended my hand aswell. The person then noticed this and shook his own hand. To which i understood the que and shook his hand aswell.
He then talked to a box on his chest that inturn also talked back.
A few minutes ter two other people came from the direction of the object. This time they have rge chests to which im assuming are the females of this race also that one has short bck hair the other one has long. Hair choices?.
They then gave me something to which they gestured to put it under my right ear. To which i did and immedietly felt a minor itch that immedietly stopped after. Then the girl with the short hair that has a ftbox with a glowing surface tapped it quickly. Then something happened the object they gave me fell. The two women were confused but immedietly came to a conclusion.
They wanted me to go to their pce but I refused, since I still have to report to the princess about this. So i gestured I will stay in this clearing for now.
----
5 days has passed.
Firstly in the st 5 days they came to me everyday trying different methods of communications with me, some worked others not so much. But atst on the fourth day they gave me another object that this time did not fall off. They made me talk about somethings then once the day ends they left, also everyday they left me with some food which is nice of them.
Now returning to the fifthday something changed. One of them spoke to me.
"You.... Names amira?"
The woman with shorthair spoke to me with my native tongue. Which shocked me since how did they learn the nguage so quickly is it this thing behind my ear?
"Yes im amira"
I confirmed.
"Where..... Is theee from"
I chuckled a little from their words which embaressed the woman a little.
"Im from the endryth kingdom"
I said and pointed towards the direction a came from.
"Why com.. here"
She asked me.
"I seek help from your people"
She was confused by my question.
"Why us?"
She asked me with confusion in her eyes.
"I have observed your people, you have the power to help us, my kingdom is currently in peril and my lord is the only one that is holding the kingd-"
I said rapidly to which she stopped me with a raised hand indicating i stop.
"Say slower"
She said.
"Oh ok, my kingdom is in danger, my lord is the only one keeping us afloat at this moment, enemies besiege us from all angles, demons, cults and other kingdoms wants our nd"
I said to them.
"Ok wait ..ill call someone that you...talk to."
-----
A few moments ter.
(Jim pov)(Captain)
I wonder what this is about, Leia reported that this girl was pleeding for help or something. Hmmm, she is too friendly I dont like it i feel like she is leaving alot of stuff out.
I then arrived at the pce where the girl set up her temporary shelter. Though it does not look temporary. There was a tree house present though its like the tree grew into a house and not built a house in it.
I have assigned people to constantly monitor her. For one she does some magic sht that is also how she made the house. And two everytime she does it the radiation spikes in this area.
I wonder if we could make a deal out of this.
