Jackson's Pov
This is Jackson Clisik and I have a plan to get off this damn planet! I have to get back to my fiancé, and be with her... oh I wish there was an extra escape pod. Enough pitying myself I have to get off this place. My first thought was to look for blueprints for a rocket ship. (Maybe there was some to get the hell of this planet?)
Searched for an hour or so, but OF COURSE, there weren't any blueprints. I searched around I just knew that I was going to be on here a long time I needed food, and water, because we couldn't clean our water, and most of it floated away in oblivion when the monster came.
Then an idea came to me. Most of our food was wrapped carefully so we saved oxygen, and also most of the oxygen tanks weren't in here so that means I'm running out of air, water, and food I looked around again looking for the suit or oxygen tanks. Yes, I was in luck I found a subaquatic suit with a tank half full. Now all I had to do was go in the water with really deadly alien fish and find some supplies easy! Then something occurred to me I vaguely remember Skyler saying that our oxygen supply was low, and there were a bunch of leaks. I gasped for air I knew it was getting lower and lower. I rushed over to the air supply and it read
LEVEL: LOW; AIR SUPPLY 33%
I was in luck. I thought it would be much worse, I thought it might have been 14 or 12. Well enough whining about air supply (though I was scared a bunch about I bet it would be like underwater times ten.) (okay lets not talk about water right now.) I wish I was a marine biologist like my resourceful fiancé. She was like heaven dark hair brown eyes she was so, so fragile. If I were I would probably make a list of what I need ok that's not so hard, but ill be braced for the hard part: going out of this pod and going outside. Okay lets make my bucket list. What I'll need is water bottles, food in those special containers that keep the food from rotting, and air tanks for more exploring. (yay)
I looked outside. There was pure darkness every where. I turned on my eye goggles analyzer. Everything looked so much clearer, and lighter. Just out of distance to see there was a blue light. Okay I wasn't a dumb little fish I knew this was a angler fish. (Damn you earth fish transporters!) With my luck right now it wouldn't been on the opposite side. Since the air supply wasn't that low. (Still terrified.) But it wasn't... it was right near the blue light 2 tanks of air. (Epic chase scene coming up!) Did I tell you that my suit had a camouflage mode? I went up to the fish I think it was sleeping, and I took one of the tanks , and then I heard
"ROOOOAAAAAAAR!"
I looked at the angler fish, and it was awaking. I needed time so I put on the camouflage mode, but it didn't work my camouflage just wasn't working right I turned bright pink and then well the monster spotted me. I quickly grabbed the other air tank, and swam I had a sudden burst of energy I was thinking about all my good moments: meeting Marley, giving her that diamond ring, and a whole lot of other stuff like getting my diploma.
I out swam the angler to my pod as soon as went into it I put one of the tanks in the air filterer. Back at 100% nice, now I at least need to get 12 packs of food and 14 packs of water. I should start my expedition tomorrow! I dreamed that I was walking with Marley to our wedding. She had vail on her head that was white, a poufy white dress with white fluff except something was different not about her; about me I was old I had wrinkly skin, it was terrible. If I wasn't her husband who was? I looked up from the old man that was reading the bible. It was... it was my best pal Vince.
I woke up. I looked around to see if I was still at that strange wedding. Before I went outside I needed to think I cant just go into to alien territory and be like "I wonder what that wedding meant.. OH CRAP A BIG MONSTER FISH!" and then die horribly. I thought for a while and I realized it was probably just a crazy dream usually they are, but something felt wrong about that. Other than that food wont magically appear in my mouth normally so I'll have to go into the deep ocean.
I looked around for some blueprints to see if I could turn normal in battle, and not be like "I'm gonna make a quick getaway! NO I'M PINK! and die horribly for the second time. I looked around found some batteries and put them in my eye goggles to see better. I found some improvements to my goggles so that they can scan everything and tell me what they are. Finally, I found the blueprints to replace my camouflage ability.
I finally went out of my shell and looked around in the ocean again. My chances were good surviving out here probably like 1,000 to 1 but at the start it was like 1,001 to 1. I looked around and spotted 3 water bottles at the start one was on a large rock under the surface of a big shell but with my trusty goggles nothing can get pass me! The other 2 were on the ground floating down. I quickly swam to get them and caught them just in time.
Then I returned to my pod relaxed. yeah I don't know definition of relax anymore, Either.
