love the picture up top))

the cooring room, no one had even thought to open it up and check what was inside, a mistake i will never make again.

the three suns were beating down on my uncovered shoulders and arms, wrong day to decide to wear this cloak. making sure my hood was up and covering my face, i trudged on towards the mess hall that johns had called everyone to head to. apparently, imams kids had gotten the water generator to work,'smart kids'.

"who were they?"
shazza shrugged and picked up a tool with a rock in it, "geologists, or archaeologists maybe. i dont know."

fry took the tool from her and looked it over while saying, "the question is, where are they not who, and how did they leave."

"they didn't." everyone looked at riddick, he smirked and crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall. "come on, you dont think that if they had the chance to leave that they would leave all their stuff here."

"maybe they had weight limits!" shazza growled out at him. riddick laughed and shook his head, "now you dont really believe that, whatever is under the dirt got them and they will get us too. we're, well all of you, are going to die here. just face it."

"shut it riddick." i said. he looked at me through his goggle lenses and hummed lowly. "scared?"

"not in your life! be quiet, i thought i heard something...." soon everyone could hear frantic footsteps coming from outside towards the entrance, soon little ali ran in crying and saying stuff that only imam and his sons could understand.

"he keeps saying something about the other cop in the cooring room with monsters." imam said.

''''''''''''''''''''''
tessa jumped up and lead the others towards where little ali pointed, as they got closer they could hear mark's screams becoming louder before they stopped all together. running faster tessa jumped and drop-kicked the doors open causing little flying bat looking things to screech in pain and fly around the room until they all flew into a hole in the middle of the room. looking around tessa started searching for the missing merc.

"mark?"
"tessa...he's over here." johns said.
tessa slowly walked over and knelt beside a corpse who's skin was ripped off.

"....bury him."

tessa walked around everyone and walked over to ali and his brothers. kneeling before him she placed her hands on his shouldes and pulled him into a quick hug and whispered, "it's alright now, you're safe." patting his head as he sniffled and cried into her shoulder she picked him up and walked back to the mess hall with his brothers and jack following her closely.

riddick watched them go as he and zeke drug marks body off to the side to quickly bury him.

"will she be okay?" zeke asked.
"how the fuck should i know." riddick answered back roughly.
zeke stayed silent and quickly finished the grave before leaving to go find shazza. fry called everyone that could to some type of room away from the mess hall, inside was the solar system. she moved it around until the planets were all lined up and the planet that they were on was covered in darkness, just what they fucking needed.
