 "Following our rendezvous with the Codename Neith, both the Memento Mori and the Wild Hunt of Venus have begun to cooperate due to a share of common interest." Alon said sitting atop a hill watching the Venusian Sunrise while holding an Audio Recorder.

He decided that since this is a long term occupation he had decided to grab an Audio Recorder for him to record and narrate his life in the Memento Mori, this was his seventh entry as he only records important or eventful entries to save memory.

"And during our operations with the Wild Hunt we were able to recover many vital things that will benefit Operations in the long run such as the acquisition of many Mechs and a temporary base of Operations located within the Chrystia Forest," He continued looking around their new base of operations.

The Chrystia Forest originally known as the Chrystia Institute of Botanical Sciences were the first of the many buildings constructed during the early colonization of Venus. It was here they tested the wonders of Terra-Forming letting the plants here grow without control earning the current name of Chrystia Forest.

As such the location is a massive botanical garden that allowed the plants to grow so massively that they grew out of the designated zones where they were only allowed to grow. Various plant and fauna filled the place with various vines have began to crawl up the walls but more notably the pillars that line up the skylight allowing the sunlight to pour over all of them not only as a source of Solar Energy and but for also the plants to be exposed with proper sunlight.

"You should see that place at night," Alon continued as he let out a sigh as the sunrise finally began to peer on where he sat down, beside him Marina was quietly sleeping next to his bedroll that morning as they requested to sleep under the stars to watch the night sky of Venus.

"It was beautiful, the power had permanently went down but at night certain fauna would light up and forming this night time decoration around the place, and then certain bio-luminescent Ancients would fly around and dance in the light." Alon smiled remembering that night as he and Marina snuck out to enjoy the night as a way of resting after such an operation.

"Even though the galaxy has yet to recover from it all, I can't help but wonder the beauty that each world contains from the remains of the old galaxy has had." He felt his face warm up from what he is about to say and looked at Marina who was still asleep and swallowed a lump in his throat from what he will say next may leave him under scrutiny.

"I hope, to see a future where I'll be able to explore the galaxy with my step-sister." He whispered in a low voice to make sure that Marina doesn't hear any of it. He finally ended the recording and turned towards Marina fast asleep, he chuckled and have her a teasing poke on the cheek.

"Hey...I've been up all night studying the Zio for future incidents." She said weakly but annoyed, it was always his go to method to wake her up and she always found it annoying.

"What else do you think I was doing last night?" Alon responded with a teasing flick on the forehead who just gave him a glare. Before heading off for bed, he had spent hours in the Simulation with Dain and Tsuna running various drills once again so that he can better adapt within combat on a specific gravity.

And the Simulations towards Combat on Venus are very different compared to the Combat on Mars, something that neither he or Marina were prepared the moment they set foot on the gravity.

"But we still have stuff to do." Alon said getting up as she let out an adorable groan and got up scratching her eyes who gave him an irked glare.

"Whatever killjoy," She stood up and headed off as soon as she was gone he pulled out the recorder again and a small tablet containing a proposed design. It was something he had drafted recently in his spare time of an idea, something that could help them in combat should they move on the run again as prior to their arrival on Venus.
