2 d after landingExterior pov
It had been 48 hours since they had landed on the ground and in this period of time, they had managed to find the river and explore around the area where they had landed, which was mainly forest.
Felix had asked Miller to run tests on the water and the plants to make sure nothing was toxic, and they were waiting for the answers.
As for animals they hadn't seen any, which was one of Felix's biggest concerns. He was afraid that if there were no living creatures in the area, then maybe it wasn't the best area to live in. But he was hopeful still because they had only seen a little portion of the whole choline, and they hadn't been across the river yet.
"Miller keep me updated," said the blond exiting the mini laboratory and heading to his room to get some rest. Felix had been on his feet trying to keep everything under control for almost 2 days. He was exhausted.

Minho went outside behind the ship, where Jisung was working on the engine to ask if he could borrow some pieces for the radio, only to find the boy lying on the grass.
"Are you dead?" he asked looking down at Jisung.
"No, not yet but I will be soon," he said closing his eyes so he wouldn't be blinded by the sun.
"Huh?"
"The engine...is fucked, really fucked. I can't fix it...no one can for that matter. To get this old mass of metal up again we would need a new one, which we don't have." he said and Minho sighed.
"Well fuck"
"We only have resources for 1 month, after that our time is up. We would have to wait for them to get down here, but let's be real that would take months to organize the whole population and come down. That itself can happen only if we manage to contact them.
And there's no way in hell they'd waste resources by sending them down to us...we're just a bunch of criminals they were going to sacrifice anyway. In conclusion, we're going to die here, maybe the most they'll do is declare us heroes of humanity after our death. What an honor!" said the younger, and you could feel the fear in his voice."Han"
"Hmm?"
"Get your ass up! Even if we can't go back there fuck it, we'll survive here alone until they come down. I hate people who give up this easily," said Minho irritated kicking the boy's leg lightly trying to get him to snap out of it.
"Hate me all you want I don't care, Minho. But what I'm saying is a simple truth...what you want me to believe is a false hope that will hurt more"
Minho, having had enough of Jisung's demoralizing words and thought process, got a hold of his arm and pulled him up on his feet.
"Listen here brat! If you wanna give up and die that suit you. But if you're so afraid of dying then fucking fight. Don't you think it's better to die trying than simply accept your fate like a coward?" he yelled grabbing his collar and shaking him up.
Jisung looked at Minho's angry eyes and swallowed hard. He was scary.
"Leave me alone, I'm tired of fighting," said Jisung pushing him away grabbing his things from the floor, and going back inside to talk to Felix about the engine.
"You're a coward, Han" yelled Minho behind him.
"Go fuck yourself Minho"

"Felix we need to talk," said Chan entering Felix's room.
"Do you have anything to report?"
"No..."
