Felix and his companion escape into the jungle, narrowly escaping persuit. After a long night in the open, they set out to find shelter.

They stumble upon a cave and lethally evict the former resident. While dealing with the aftermath, they are attacked and implanted by small, autonomous, metal bugs. Upon waking, they discover new additions to their abilities- they can speak to each other, there is a quickbar at the bottom of their vision, and they have the ability to construct pre-designed blueprints given the correct research and materials.

Felix and Koale, the Lisnoir, spend several days building up their new home and facing the trials the local fauna presents. Emboldened by their relative success, they venture back to their escape pod, intent upon scavenging any useful gear or materials left behind.

Bloodied but victorious, Felix and Koale cleared opposition to the pod and reclaim the emergency beacon from the crashed pod. They return to their new home- spirits high.

It becomes quickly apparent that their home is not undisturbed as they approach. The walls are splintered and torn and a strange goo coats the inside of the walls. Koale insists on saving their research and Felix stands guard outside. From out of the forest, a large creatue the size of a bear with much more teeth approaches. Felix runs. He masters his fear and returns- just in time to see Koale devoured.

Felix, lost and alone in the jungle, vows to survive and to not let Koale's death be in vain. He rebuilts once more in the depths of the jungle. But all does not go well and he finds himself slowly starving.

One fateful hunting trip ends with Felix bleeding out next to his slain prey. His world goes dark, and he awakens in his bed, hale and whole. Realizing the implications, Felix sets out to find his long lost compainion.

Reunited, Felix and Koale make great strides in improving their quality of life and their equipment. Food is still scarce, however, and hunting trips are chancy.

As they seek prey, they stumble upon smoke in the distance. Their approach is not as stealthy as they would have wished, and they are swiftly captured by two survivors from their ship.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

They soon learn that not only are those from the ship not the only people on the planet, but that there are well armed and organized raiders as well. The four decide to put apprehension aside and work together to better weather the dangers arrayed against them.

With the expanded manpower, and a good farm, easing the food scarcity, Felix and Koale set out to find new materials to build with. They find a small outcroping of metal, and worse- catch sight of sails in the distant waters. The raiders were preparing to return.

With frantic zeal, walls are thrown up around the small base and preparations are made.

In a bid to get spare resources for a ship to escape if needed, Felix and Koale find themselves on another exploration range. In short order the outting turns into disaster and the two find themselves fleeing for their lives with a toothed monstrosity at their heels.

After a harrowing chase, they lead it back to the base. The monster breaks through the wall and a pitched battle ensues. It is slain, but not without cost. The base is damaged, especially the walls. Felix and Koale are temporarily cast out while the remaining two seek to repair the damage done before the raiders arrive.

As final insult to injury, Felix finds the reason the damage will be so difficult to fix is because supplies had already been set aside for the ship. In an effort to not allow that sacrifice to go to waste, Felix and Koale build the ship as far as their supplies allow.

The next morning they return to the base, hoping to make amends. Instead they find the base under attack. Through a surprise attack and a small amount of explosives, the crew escapes. As they regroup, they decide to take the half-finished ship and leave. The problem? A mast-less ship drifting out to sea will not escape persuit by a full built and crewed vessel.

In a fit of insanity or genius, Felix hatches a plan. He tells his companions to prepare to leave and dashes into the jungle. He rounds up as many of the angry, toothy monsters as he can, leading them right onto the enemy ship. He dies shortly after, respawning on their own ship. His companions cast off, and a new chapter will shortly begin.
