??? 2: "Hey boss, i am at the village with Lappland."

???: "Good job Texas! Now, get inside the village and investigate for anything about this 'cure', because of the contract with Rhodes Island."

Texas: "Sure boss," - she turned to Lappland - "Lappland, grab your clothes and ready to go."

Lappland: "Sure sure, whatever."

Texas: "Right, let go then?"

A couple can be seen making their way through the thick carpet of snow that blanketed the ground. Each step was careful and deliberate, the crunch of snow underfoot breaking the serene silence of the cold landscape. The chill in the air did little to deter them; instead, it seemed to sharpen their focus as they periodically checked their communication devices, ensuring that their Comms were still operational. After trudging through the wintry terrain for what felt like an eternity, Texas and Lappland finally arrived at a quaint little village that seemed almost untouched by time. However, upon reaching their destination, a pressing issue loomed over them like a heavy cloud: they had no idea where to find the mysterious 'cure' they were seeking. Their mission, shrouded in mystery and urgency, was essentially an investigation, and the pressure to uncover the truth weighed heavily on their shoulders.

As they stepped into the village, Lappland couldn't help but feel a sense of boredom creeping in. The repetitive nature of their task is just walking, asking then returned to walking and questioning the villagers questions, and receiving little more than confused looks in return to say the least. She sighed. However, this painstaking process was their only avenue in piecing together the clues that might lead them to the elusive cure.

Texas emerged from a tiny grocery store and saw the throng of people. Mentally taking a glance at everyone on the street. Lappland spotted a man in the crowd, who is completely different from everyone in the village. No trace of any race in Terra, just who is this guy?


Lappland, filled with excitement and determination, quickly poked Texas in an effort to grab her attention regarding a new clue she had discovered about the elusive 'cure'

Lappland, filled with excitement and determination, quickly poked Texas in an effort to grab her attention regarding a new clue she had discovered about the elusive 'cure'. The vibrant atmosphere around them buzzed with villagers engaging in their day-to-day activities, yet Lappland was fixated on the pressing matter at hand.

Lappland: "Hey Texas," 

She called out, her voice cutting through the noise. Despite her efforts, Texas remained engrossed in observing the crowd, seemingly unaware of Lappland's insistence. Undeterred, Lappland poked her again, this time with a bit more urgency, trying to shake her friend from her reverie.

Texas: "Lappland, what do you want?"

Texas finally responded, turning to face her, a hint of annoyance in her tone but curiosity sparking in her eyes.

Lappland: "Look at that guy over there!"

She exclaimed, her finger pointing towards a man standing a few feet away. He was dressed simply, but the red circle symbol emblazoned with a white cross on his sleeves immediately caught their attention. The symbol seemed is for medical personel.

Texas: "We need to follow that guy," 

Texas declared, a sudden spark of determination lighting up her expression. Without another word, the two girls set off, stealthily trailing behind the man, who remained blissfully unaware of their presence. As they followed him through the winding streets of the village, they observed with keen eyes. The man was distributing supplies—antibiotic glue, bandages, and protein bars—free of charge to the local villagers. Laughter and gratitude filled the air as each villager received their goods, their faces lighting up with joy.

Texas and Lappland immediately realized that this man was a member of an organization that the villagers' responses indicated they were unaware of. They would applaud and chant thanks for this support group, which gave them hope in the middle of their hardships. However, while they listened, they heard the name of the organization: "Europa Coalition." The fact that neither of the girls had heard of the name before make them very confused.

Right now, Y/N, his pal, and their team are working diligently to repair the Typhon 2. After a recent trip where they came into a tough pack of Hammerhead , this maintenance duty has grown critical. These violent creatures, renowned for their extraordinary power and persistence, violently crashed the ship throughout the encounter, damaging and breaching multiple parts of its hull.

The crew had no choice but to decide quickly to dock at the closest settlement because the effect was so severe. There, they managed to arrange a temporary landing and start the repairs required to guarantee the Typhon 2 could continue operating in a safe manner. People are running over the decks, assessing damage, replacing broken parts, and fortifying weak spots in the hull, all while navigating the difficulties of repairing the ship. Given the risks that await them outside the settlement if they are not well prepared, they are acutely aware of the necessity of the repairs.

Suddenly, Y/N felt that on the surface. Someone has discovered us.
