Survive For Me (Subnautica/AOT Crossover)

28th Chapter

Hange glanced towards Levi with a slight frown on her face. Levi looked towards the brunette in return with the slightest hint of confusion, maybe even concern. The duo soon realized that the sight of (F/n)'s once beautiful home must've brought back unwanted memories. In an attempt to change the mood, Hange decided to create a conversation with a few questions.

"So, uh, what do we do here?" Hange questioned, hoping her attempt in changing the atmosphere would dissipate some of her new friend's sadness.

"Like... Oh! What's this giant thing? What do you call this? I don't think you've told us about this before!" She asked, pointing to one of the P.R.A.W.N suits hanging from the ceiling. (F/n) sniffled and wiped her eyes again of any stray tears and turned back around. She tried pushing her broken feelings aside, beginning to realize that now may not be the time to be getting emotional when there are others who are greatly depending on her. With a sigh, she took out her scanner and explained what she knew about the giant machine.

"It's called a P.R.A.W.N. suit. It's what we use to harvest materials and break through rock. It comes with multiple different arm attachments, like the drill arm, the torpedo arm, the grappling arm, etc. There's a lot about the suits that I think you'll both find very fascinating." The small (H/c) headed female said while taking out her scanner.

I walked over towards the edge of the broken floor and raised my scanner to the hanging suit. I managed to get part of the blueprint for it, but I just need to get a few more. Fortunately٫ there are just enough suits in the Bay to get the full schematic. I walked past both my partners and over to the suit hidden by flames. I scanned it and then moved onto the two other suits٫ making sure to scan them properly. Hange then walked over to be with another module. I gave her one of my fake smiles and thanked her.

"Thank you٫ Hange. This storage module will definitely come in handy." I placed it away in my inventory٫ giving Hange another smile٫ and made my way over to the final suit. Levi put out the flames for me with his usual look as i scanned it٫ my mood slightly getting better as my PDA pinged me about the now complete blueprint for the P.R.A.W.N suit.

"Come on." I said٫ looking over at my comrades. "The Living Quarters are just up top." I pulled out my propulsion cannon once again and got to work on removing the boxes from the stairway. Once I finished clearing our path٫ I gave both Hange and Levi a look signaling them to follow me. As we reached the top of the steps, we turned the corner and saw both the Supply Room and Cafe.

"Luckily٫ they're both still intact so now we can grab more food and water for everyone back at base." I said٫ the usual tone in my voice now dull. The three of us walked into the Supply room first and quickly grabbed all the water bottles and Nutrient blocks that we could find. After clearing out the Supply room of the four remaining water bottles and nutrient blocks, we walked over to the Cafe. My heart ached at the sight of all the tables and chairs toppled over, with fire spread all throughout the room.

I sighed as Hange stepped forward with her fire extinguisher and put out the flames٫ allowing me and Levi to safely explore the room. Pulling out our scanners٫ we all started scanning the scattered items like the vending machine٫ tables٫ and chairs. Walking around the mess, I walked over to the counter and picked up the PDA sitting on top which had the menu items that were there the day of the crash.

"Not important," I stated emotionlessly as I tossed the PDA to the side, rolling my eyes. Hange walked over to the wall and took down the 'Keep Calm' poster placing it away with a small smile. She then turned and immediately noticed the fire extinguisher on the wall.
