Terra looked behind her. Someone had yelled about "that girl in the field." On some level, it saddened Terra that she had to answer to that. It reminded her how foreign this place was, and how she didn't really know what was going to happen to her. For all she knew, she might never get home.
When she turned around, Terra saw the person calling her. As the doctor said, he was a young man, probably a few years older than Terra. He had short, blond hair and was of an average height and build for one his age. Terra couldn't help but be embarrassed by the fact that she was meeting a person who first met her while she was conked out somewhere. Thankfully, she only blushed slightly.
Terra clasped her hands together behind her and spoke. Her voice came out quietly. She was uncomfortable with new people in general, but this was a whole new level of awkward meetings. "Oh... that was you? Well, um... thanks for helping me out. I'm Terra. Who are you?"

Adam nodded his head earnestly in affirmation, "Yeah. That was me! My name's Adam! When I found you, you were out cold. Nothing I did could wake you up, so I brought you back here to CY-015." Adam, being the jovial lad he was, gestured rather dramatically at the colony surrounding them. When he faced Terra once more, he wore a wide grin on his face.
"I'm glad to see that you're okay, Terra!" He said, holding his hand out, offering to shake.

Keegan wiped his brow as he worked on the instruments in the Fire Control room. He glanced over at the engineers nearby and shook his head. "So I take it you guys weren't assigned to the Batteries before everything went to shit?" he asked.
Amanda sighed with disappointment at Keegan's bluntness, to which the technopath responded with a haughty "What?"
"You were raised to be more polite than that, Keegan." Amanda groaned
"I'm just askin', jeez... Alright, guys, that's the last of it. Guns should be coming online soon." Keegan said, as a deep buzzing bellowed from the walls of the Fire Control room. Should Heaven need to defend itself, it could now do so. "Amanda, I'm going to head back to the commons. If you need me, you know where to find me."
"Alright.. Oh.. by the way. Give this to Phenom if you see him." Amanda said, handing Keegan an Obsidian knife. "It belonged to Soren before he was killed."
"Why are we giving this to him now? Over half a dec...ade... you know what I mean... After Soren died?"
"To be honest... I forgot about it." Amanda admitted.
"Right..."

"Uh, yeah, thanks..." Terra put her right hand on her left arm shyly, blushing a little more now. This was weird for her. It was like meeting someone who she had known in the past but had forgotten. His apparent openness didn't help with that. It made her feel like she was being cold to him as she struggled to meet his eyes. How odd that his genuine concern for her actually made the girl feel less comfortable. Still, she was happy that he was at least friendly. Terra was sure that, given time, she could warm up to him.
"Hey, uh, actually, could I ask you a question? No one around here seems to have heard of my hometown, Neri, so I'm trying to find a way back, but I'm not coming up with any results. Could you show me back to where you found me? Maybe I'll find something there that'll be helpful. I mean, you don't have to, but if you at least showed me how to get there that'd be good enough." I hope that didn't sound too rambly, she thought.

With the Desert Bike not working, and Ethan now having a good advantage now, Miranda got even angrier as she got off the bike. Once off the bike, the Security and Colony Chief Miranda then kicked the vehicle as she turned to Ethan. "Quit being so smug you asshole..." Replied Miranda in a rather harsh, but now more calm tone as she then turned to Mokou. With a quiet, tired sigh Miranda then... began to take off her shirt and shorts... leaving her with nothing but her underwear on. That was when she turned to Mokou and tossed the silvery haired girl the black shirt and tan shorts.
"Listen I guess since we are going to be needing to walk there, you will need something to wear. So take my shirt and shorts. It'll be something. Don't worry about me though. I've ran through that colony chasing after law-breakers in less than my underwear before."

Adam withdrew his hand when he realized that Terra didn't have any interest in the exchange, but he thought nothing of it. She was in a strange place, at least to her, and nobody here knew her.
"Well... I suppose I could take you back there. We should hurry though. It's going to start getting dark in a couple hours." He said, pointing at the sun beginning to settle on the horizon. He turned on his heel and headed out, on the same path he took earlier that day.
A few minutes of silence past before he spoke. "So... what's it like in this town you mentioned? Neri? I've never heard of that colony before, and I've lived on Prosperity my whole life."

I guess lots of places on this planet must be colonies then, Terra thought. She pondered that word. Colonies...? Colonized by who?
Regardless, Terra had bigger things to worry about right now. "Well, Neri isn't exactly a colony. It's just a regular town. I've been living there for about five years now. It's nice. There are lots of nice trees and flowers and pretty things like that." Terra didn't really know how else to describe Neri. It's not like it was a really famous town or anything, it was just sort of cute and nice to live in.
Terra's head then came up as she remembered that she needed to thank Adam. She looked at him with wider eyes, as her need to voice her gratitude superseded her anxiety. "Oh, and, uh, thank you for agreeing to take me here! It would have been ok if you hadn't, but to be honest it's nice that I'm not all alone anymore!" She smiled, although her nerves still showed in her eyes, which still had a trace of fear stewing within them.

"Oh, it's nothing at all. You kinda remind me of my little sister, to be honest. And besides, helping people was just how I was raised to be." he said with a smile. "I found you just on the other side of that hill over there."
Adam pointed to a modestly sized mound about 15 minutes away from them. "We call it Munchkin's Pass, since it's so small compared to the rest of the hills around here."
Alcyon Space | Space Station "Heaven" - Guardian Angel's Commons
Keegan stepped gingerly into the empty common room. He was surprised none of the other Guardians were here, but figured they were all busy helping out around the station. Phenom wasn't there either. He decided he would simply leave the knife on a nearby table with a note.
He snagged a nearby piece of paper and a pen, etching "For Phenom, Love Soren" on it. He placed it on the table, with the knife on top of it.
"He might like that. Almost like his dad was still alive, I suppose." Keegan thought.

Terra's eyes hardened upon seeing her destination. She didn't even know if she would find anything helpful here. In fact, it was likely she wouldn't. She'd be right back to where she was before, stranded on an unknown world. At that moment, it finally sunk in how little Terra knew of this planet. Beyond these hills... everything was a mystery. She really had no idea where she was. A sense of panic rose within her, her pulse quickening in a sickening manner... but she also felt... wonder. What was out there...?
Once they finally reached the area Adam had indicated, Terra looked around. She signed. Just as she had thought, there was no portal to be found. She was at least sure of that much. Adam would surely have noticed if it was still there when he found her. But she didn't know if there was anything else that could help her. Unfortunately, the lost girl had no idea what she needed to find...
After walking around the area aimlessly a bit, looking for something, anything that looked even remotely helpful, Terra hung her head. There was nothing. Her only hope of getting back quickly, the portal, was gone. It was like trying to play a game of hide and seek without knowing who to find or where they could hide. She could search forever. Surely, however, that would be an eternal torture.
She turned to look back at Adam. "Sorry... I don't really see anything that might be of any use... Thanks for showing me how to get here though, and I'm sorry it was just a waste of time."

Mokou was reminisced of a joke about an exhibitionist she heard from that one monochrome speed freak magician Marisa as she snatched the shirts and the shorts from the air and began putting them on. Surprisingly and unsurprisingly, the clothes fit almost perfectly, considering the similarity of Mokou and Miranda's build.
"Thank you." Mokou recognized Miranda's courtesy. She finally had something covering her skin, although they were quite tight clothing and felt a bit uncomfortable. Turning to Ethan, Mokou chuckled. "Well, looks like you two don't have to do your silly race anymore, huh?"

Ethan softly exhaled as he saw Miranda's selfless act, placing herself in a compromising position instead of the mystery girl being in it instead. It just went to show that although Miranda was a violent and volatile individual, she wasn't totally heartless. Now that Ethan thought about it, he was going to get a towel from his ship transported from his ship for the girl, but he had completely forgotten when Miranda suddenly appeared. Now was a good time as any, so Ethan decided to help Miranda out. Before that though, the white haired girl lightly chuckled as she turned to him and asked if they were done with their little race.
"For the moment. I mean, we could run on foot, but that wouldn't be fair to you or Miranda. Besides, I kinda liked that little distraction.", Ethan said to the girl in a slightly more reserved tone than the wild and almost overly confident tone he had before. After that, he turned over to Miranda and spoke again.
"Hang on just a sec. As much fun as it would be to see you walk about town in little else than your underwear, it would be kinda sh*tty of me if I let you do it. I'm going to get a towel beamed down from my ship.", Ethan said to Miranda before turning to SiMo.
"Hey SiMo, know anything about fixing vehicles?", Ethan asked SiMo.
