She smiles at Lenny gently and in a kind voice.
"I'm going to have to ask you to stay inside the ship it's dangerous outside right now and we can't have you getting hurt.I know how boring it can be in there but I can help entertain you all if you wish."

Adam was in this groups. He wasn't impressed by Lenny's stories but those were useful for improving his game.

Koran asks around for a journal of any kind, and receives one from Bonifo. He then jots down his discovery in the journal, which is black with a silver binding. Here is this flying insect:

Koran's Nickname: Flying Spider

Description: A creature similar to Earth's spiders, with a couple of differences. Rather than being typically being a grey color, the two specimens collected were a rich green color. Both specimens also had a pattern of an orange hourglass on their backs, though unlike the Black Widow, which has a similar hourglass, these spiders' had their Hourglass hollow. The major difference, however, is their wings. The patterns are halved in two wings that the spider can use to fly around. They appear to be non-poisonous, so it's likely that certain colonists will domesticate them. Otherwise, they appear to be the same as most spiders from Earth, with both specimens being 2 inches long, and 1 inch wide. They also still have 8 legs, a number of eyes, and two small fangs.


Koran closes the journal, and continues to search for more animals with the Hunting Party.
Ilyena adds a further entry to their list of local fauna.

Name: Lustrumian Tree Borer

Description: Filling a similar niche to Earth's termites, the Lustrumian Tree Borer is significantly larger, roughly the size of a man's finger. These insects possess chitinous exoskeletons, and four rows of legs running down their cylindrical and segmented bodies. After their eggs are laid inside of a tree, the parent dies and the offspring begin to burrow their way through the tree, devouring the wood. When a tree has been deprived nutrients, or has lost structural integrity and fallen, the borers will search for nearby trees to infest. At this time several factors remain unknown: their toxicity, their nutritional content, and their predators.


Finding her study of the tree borers to be a satisfying starting point, Ilyena tries to observe predation of the tree borers, primarily by searching for recently abandoned trees, which the borers are still migrating away from. She hopes to be able to follow a foodchain to identify more significant of prey for hunting.

Joseph had wandered in behind Regalia.

"That will not be necessary, minister. I am about to change my policies on this subject. I'm actually here to call the children outside, to be apart of the next speech. It will commence soon. Could you help gather everyone directly outside the ship, Regalia?"

Lenny grins at her.

"Damn right it's boring. There's a whole new planet right out there, and I'm going to see as much of it as possible."

Her eyes slightly zoom dilating pupils growing wide and with a ever so slight edge in her tone.
"Ohhh really now?"

"Uhhhh... Regalia?

She's not listening, is she...
"

Joseph goes to stand inbetween Regalia and the stubborn child. He raises a palm and puts it in front of her face in a halting gesture.

She raises an eyebrow and in a confused tone.
"What do you mean? "

Lennys robotic companion makes a warbling sound and taps the low battery indicator on its front.

"You spaced out a moment there. Your tone changed. Your eyes dilated. I presume you have no memories of this.

Be cautious, Regalia. You may have features built in to you that you were never told about.

... What's that symbol mean? Low battery?

Eh. How is it charged? Solar?

The robot warbles and shows off a pair of retractable solar panels.
