Ordrieyliensis.  A planet that had treated Thorn well in the past, the native biotechnicians being more than happy to fix her ship, and repair some of her cyberware.  Even adding in a modification, at the cost of being distinctly no longer human.  But alas, that was beyond the point of the matter as her cargo pods jettisoned and small engines punted her into the atmosphere, the larger segment of her ship staying in orbit, where it could hide.

The pods, however, would make a high speed flyby of one of the forests before circling around to land not far from an unusual power signature.

Dexter landed the arachnid in an open spot that would more easily let him land and set up his small lab. From the sky during the fly Dexter's laboratory was clearly visible and with high zoom in cameras one could even make out what he was doing but not see what he was writing and making. The pod was long detected though and Zeski, easily capable of controlling the many vehicles Dexter made to investigate. 

Zeski chose the stinger for a clearer sight of the ground to investigate while the siegetail crawled closer to Dexter on standby, ready for anything. Zeski made no effort to stay quiet, using the loud helicopter to investigate the other visitor. The stinger, not yet locked and loaded used a massive spotlight to search for the passerby that landed nearby. Zeski, while advanced and state of the art not quite approached Cole's versatility and functions relying on standard detection procedures to search for the visitor.

As the landing pods gently settled into the earth and put down roots to prevent them moving, and to replenish the ship's fuel and nutrient supply, Thorn pushed her way out of the canopy, her cargo pod opening not far away to reveal some basic camping equipment, including a tent, cot, and a butane stove for heating up ration packs and boiling water.  Stretching, she stripped out of her EVA suit and yawned, throwing a pair of pants and a shirt on before her bare feet hopped down to the earth.  A beeping from her pad drew her attention as the Eye alerted her of the vehicle approaching.

"Huh.  Someone must have set up a research installation nearby.  I'll check it out in the morning."  Telling the ship to cause a distraction and let her take a vacation in peace got her a sharp telepathic imprint of a pouting child and she rolled her eyes.  "Fine.  Let them find me.  But ping the ground station with a camping permit from local government.  I'm on vacation.  I don't want to go digging around in the woods for some..."

It had given her orbital imagery of the lab setup, and the small red blip in front of some rolled aluminum sheets, probably blueprints.  "I'm on vacation.  Some jackass wants to set up a lab and work on his plans for galactic conquest, not my problem.  I ain't bein' paid for it."

There was a roar of some massive beast within the forest of Ordrieyliensis. The falling of heavy paws hitting the forest floor as another animal screamed darting through the trees. A thick dark brown furry hide of a beast moved at a quickened pace. It seemed like the animal running for its life was large boar. One quick swipe of sharp claws caught the hind end of the fleeing animal as it made its escape.

A pair of yellow wolfish eyes peered through the brush as it was came upon something... Unusual. A tiny person which to the beast resembled that of the natives but the smell was... different. The creature had not the slightest intention of harm but only to explore this... strange whatever that was. It rose up to its feet pausing with one paw in the air before slowly setting it down. Its ears flicked as it approached little by little.

It was a pod not that it any sense to the animal it was just an interesting object. The animals were not the only things out there. An ordriey had been stalking the animals watching them with keen eyes. Having tracked the creature he stopped and looked up to see that someone had settled here. Danihg frowned at this not quite certain whether or not that this would interfere with his hunting.

He was silent and saw that the gargasp he'd been following had already swiped its prey now the only thing he had to do was to retrieve the animal. The ordriey however did not plan on being caught by this massive creature that could kill him in moments but it would be dragged on as they play with their prey until they're unmoving. His skin and hair was already camouflaged with the very surroundings. He bounded quickly across to the pod and hid on the opposite side facing away from the gargasp. Danihg was only choosing of whether or not tell this person to move but it was something decided once he finds and speaks to whoever this was if at all was going to talk.

Danihg was not the only ordriey that had come along but he just happened in the lead of hunting for food. The group was spread out to make sure the injured animal was caught and killed. Leaving the gargasp to live another day, they utilized the beast to help them find and gather what they needed.

It was only a matter of time before Thorn was detected by Zeskii using the stinger in the sky. It soon went over to her location and shined two bright spot lights on her and clapped open gunboxes. Meanwhile it blasted music loudly to certainly get Thorn's attention. It stayed up there unmovingly for a few seconds before projecting Dexter's face holographicly. "YOU THERE! TINY PERSON, IDENTIFY YOURSELF."

Arthropodoid, unknown gender, possibly aggressive, definitely not native.  Thorn placed a gentle hand on the muzzle of the animal sniffing at her, attempting to keep it calm as she looked into the spotlights and projection.

"Mercenary Scientist Thorn Ironhart.  I'm on vacation, so take your toys and piss off so I can get ten minutes to relax."

Her voice was clear, loud, and distinctly annoyed.  She hadn't made any attempt to hide herself, though her ship may have decided to turn invisible in the past few moments.  Thorn drew the Gargasp towards her with gentle scratches, before it let her towards the back of its skull, and a retractable hollow bone in her wrist shot forward and punctured the corotid, a flexing of the muscles in her wrist dumping venom into the brain of the creature, where it dropped beside her before it knew it had died.

"I'd invite you to dinner, as I have plenty."

Danihg used his mental power with a different species that was which human. It felt a little strange to the ordriey as it was used to communicating with a starship and others of his own kind. It was actually quite rare that Danihg would attempt to communicate in this way but it was far easier to reach than usual. Telepathy the ordriey used which were shown in images of them hunting and scavenging for food. Then the telepathy broke up when he was startled by the sudden loud noises and projections.

The ordriey scrabbled around wildly like a startled animal and darted out to the opening. Dirt, leaves and dust was kicked up into the air when Danhig slipped onto the ground to stop himself. Panting and gasping while hair and skin had turned to ghostly pale white and the hair and fur fluffed up from fright. He was completely hidden within plain sight until now then he saw the dead gargasp laying still on the forest floor. Eyes widened at the sight of this, his eyes looked a lot wider from the black rings and bright green of the irises making it seem much more wild and dramatic.

Danihg stared at the gargasp then at the woman who killed it. His eyes narrowed and wandered to the projection, "What is going on here?" The ordriey's voice was strained, almost hoarse as he started reaching for his gun in its holster. He was not entirely sure of how to respond to this situation and was ready to fight if things got to the point of actual threats. An 8 foot long tail was raised up high while hunching his back and lips pulled back to bare sharp fangs and long ears folded back all because of fear.
