From Dar'ke point of view

The pod landed roughly onto the planets surface. I blacked out temporarily upon impact. My head ringing from the alarms going off inside the pod. I know that my left ankle is messed up if not broken. The pain is shooting up my leg like fire shocks and burning like hard meat blood upon the skin. Pain was part of being a hunter it was proof of life.

"Thank the great Paya.." I groan out. Before I try and escape the pod. I see that the door is stuck. I begin to pound on it with the full force of my fists. I needed to get out and to get to the Chiva Location. I needed to gut that worthless chit of a brother Id'te! With rage fueling my fists I give it the rest of my strength. My arm bursts through the metal cutting my arm up. I am able to make the opening larger before rolling out on to the grass onto my back. Growling and Cursing that pauking brother of mine.

I hear a sound, my ears still ringing, I prop myself up on my right arm that is bleeding and look over to where the noise came from. It looks like a female Ooman...? But smells like a yautja female? I try and focus, she is bent down about 4 arm lengths away carrying a bag. I scan her quickly and see that there are no weapons. She is unarmed unworthy prey. However in my injured state I kept my guard up.

She speaks to me "Hi Ya space cat did you need some help?" Her tone was not one of deception. But what is a space cat? What is a cat? I cock my head to the side and chitter at her to see her reaction.  She just shook her head and her fleshy mouth bits went upwards. Oomans are strange creatures but they are known to be sly and not trust worthy.

Cause I have hunted Oomans in the past I thought it was best to learn the language before. I did not have any difficulty in understanding her.

The Ooman shifted " umm so do you need help or not? I have a place where you can rest to recover from your injuries. If you want to."

I pause and stare at this Ooman, Options were limited and not being in a state to take on hard meats it was not a bad option if not the stupidest. However his clan and the council of Elders needed to know what has transpired.

I squee my mandibles closer to my mouth as it made it easier to make Ooman sounds. In a deep and gruff voice

"Ooman I accept your help, I am Dar'ke. We should not be out in the open." I warn to the Ooman as I get up using my combistick extending it out to use it as a walking stick as I try not to put to much weight on the healing ankle.

"Well that took forever to get an answer. My name is Chris not Ooman. Call me Ooman again and you will be known as space cat from now on!" She said in an irritable tone.

"What is a space cat...?" I ask questioningly

The Ooman named Chris smacks her head. And moans " never mind, just come along I will treat you when we get back to my place "

This is a bizarre creature I chitter to myself and make sure I have everything attached to me before I follow the small Ooman. Keeping an eye out on our surroundings as we moved from the open area to a forested swamp area to a cliff with a cave. There was a door that the Ooman opened . I had to bend down to get in. But I see a table, chairs, a bunk bed, bath area, and a cooking spot. I did not see any weapons I relaxed a little. It looked like an old Yautja training bunker that the Ooman took over.

"Come sit here, your all cut up and bloody" Chris point to the chair that is opposite the bed. She put the bag on the table and starts to pull out its contents.

"I have my own repair kit" I say gruffly as I sit in the chair with an plomp! Putting my Combistick on to my back weapon holder. I then Reach over to my right leg armor and give it a twist and my medikit comes off. I take out a syringe and inject it into my left ankle, this will be 1-2 planet rotations and it should be fully healed. I get the needle and thread and try and sew up the long gash in my inner right arm. It's at an awkward angle.  I hiss in frustration  and then hear a snorting sound from the Ooman.
