"This is commander King can anyone hear me!" King shouted into his static filled mic. With no answer back he sighed and cursed under his breath.

"FUCK!" King shouted out loud scaring some small dinosaurs away from the party. This planet was just ass, it smelled, it was overpowering warm and wet. There was almost no way to dry off unless you went back to the ship. Keeping morale up was getting to be an issue. If Wilkinson didn't get things fixed or figured a way to contact another human settlement we were going to be all fucked.

Most of the vegetation was inedible and the weapons we had other then the mechs were useless for hunting. As the hides of the dinosaurs were way to tough for bullets to penetrate. All they seemed to do was piss off the local wild life.

It's been about a week or so and with no progress on coms or anything it was looking bleak.

Daniels comes up to commander King "Still no coms?" He asks with a disappointing tone.

"Yeah. Alright everyone fan out keep your weapons high and mark the trees with paint. That way we know where we have been and where we are going.!" King yells out to his security team.

Mind you they were better armed and trained more then the space marines. These bunch it took a lot to scare them. But the thought of being stranded was getting to a lot of them.

We had 30 people in total 1 engineer that played scientist in his spare time the other 29 were under my command as security detail. If the Weyland company hadn't paid so well I wouldn't have taken this job. However given the situation now if we ever got back I'd be demanding triple the pay and damages.

We had about 5 hours of daylight left. After one more hour of forging ahead we would head back to the ship. Tomorrow my second in command Ceillia will head out with her group tomorrow for scout duties...

There hadn't been time to do anything but eat before I had to return to help Crash with the training of our older clan members. Everyone seemed excited about the upcoming hunt. I had to take in report of the gear what we had what they were going to use. There is a huge difference in the quality of gear that the clan used.

From the most basic of utilitarian gear to the more elaborate and high tech. I was thinking about having better sets made for the unblooded and young blooded clan members. It would be helpful to have everyone start out equally.

Not all the the ones we accepted came from well off clans. Some were just barely surviving. A few of the unblooded were horribly under weight. With the Ooman snacks and richer foods they seem to be recovering quickly. The moods and attitudes of them where also more favorable of Chris now. When they orginally got on the ship it was not looking good.

I am very proud of my little Mate. She was making many improvements to the ship. I had mentioned too her about the video clips. She had jumped at the chance to scan through the video recorders to make quick and better tutorials.

I was hesitant to give her access at first. Her persist logic that while she was resting she could also work. I had to set limits I don't need her stressing out her body, especially right now.

I headed up towards the bridge I didn't have time to stop by our room to check on Chris. I would get Hopper to make sure he checked on her before he went to rest. Crash went to go work on a side project as well. After this week we would take better rotation shifts for ship duties.

It wasn't fair to them to take over like they had been. I had been to focused on being with Chris that I had let it slip to often. Also I had gotten word that Maini sent a message. I would take it on the bridge when I got there.
