KuroiKaze maintained its orbit around the planet. Nhiome examined the scene sent from the external cameras, hesitating. Eorthe's voice broke into his thoughts, "why are we stopping here? Weren't we going to find another way to power this ship other than myself?" Nhiome turned his attention to the inside of the ship, after a brief silence, he projected his image onto one of the screens and his voice filtered through the speakers. "First of all, when we get down there, you need to keep your hatred of humans in check for a while, otherwise finding a power source is going to be more difficult...maybe even impossible considering the new circumstances..." Eorthe looked up curious and impatient, waiting for Nhiome to get to the point, he projected more images onto the screens. "These are lie feeds from the external camera showing the current planet...the problem is...it is different. The planet is very different from the one I remember. For the difference to be noticeable even from orbit, it is not some small matter. But it shouldn't have changed so much already, the last time I visited here was only a year ago. So we need to be careful, all my prior knowledge is probably useless, I'm going to land us outside the nearest settlement I find, please don't start killing everybody in sight immediately. We need to understand the situation first."
Nevaaras-colony-001
Eorthe stepped out of the now dormant ship. This time she let the door swing close, confident in her ability to open the door with her own powers this time. In her hand, she clutched a small metal box. Nhiome had asked her to dig this out from the ship's storage, and link it to the ship's systems. After a while, the box had split into half, one hovering above the other, a hologram was projected between the two halves, showing Nhiome. Nhiome's voice came from the speakers in both halves, he had explained to her that this way he could leave the ship, he was able to control when he wanted to appear from the box, but he needed her to constantly provide some power as the aurora crystal in the small piece of tech had also been exhausted. Before closing down into the small box again, he ended with, "Let me do the talking, knowing how you act, you could accidentally cause problems."
Eorthe walked towards the colony. She had agreed to Nhiome's request, more like a demand, allowing a small stream of energy to flow to the box. She found him slightly rude, but then again both of them had been separated from society for so long that it was no wonder. She did not mind, she was equally rude to him anyway, and the drain on her strength was negligible compared to powering the ship, her strength was slowly returning, albeit slower than if she had not been powering the small box.
Now lets see what kind of situation has even this AI worried...
