Chapter 2: The Journey

Adeon trailed along as the group meandered through the stores, picking up supplies for their mission, blissfully ignorant of the impending doom that awaited them—or so he thought.

Adeon buys 1 compressors for himself and ration for 3 days.Noticing the anxiety etched on everyone's faces, Adeon attempted to lighten the mood. "No worries, guys! I'll be the guardian alien protecting us from those predators. It'll be easy peasy, like starlemon squeezing."

Despite his attempts at reassurance, Adeon couldn't shake the gloomy atmosphere hanging over the crew.
"Seriously, why the 'OMG WE ARE ABOUT TO DIE' faces?" -- Adeon shakes his metallic hands close to his head as he speaks

"These predators aren't exactly the apex predators of this planet. I mean, I've tasted their meat—it practically melts in your mouth! If we think using the theory of food chain, they're more like the bottom of it, with their weak muscles and all. So, what's with all the panic?" He continues.

After stocking up on supplies for their expedition, Nesta and her companions made their way to the train station to purchase tickets for their journey to Salbarii. The train was modest, with a small electric locomotive and a couple of carriages waiting on the tracks. Despite its simplicity, or maybe because of it, it was the cheapest mode of transport available to reach their destination.

Approaching the ticket booth, Nesta handed over the required 25 credits for the group. With tickets in hand, they boarded the train, finding seats in one of the few available carriages. The train set off, rattling along the tracks as it made its way towards their destination.As they traveled, Nesta and her companions marveled at the scenery passing by outside the windows. The landscape gradually transformed, with Mount Salbarii looming ominously in the distance, its imposing silhouette dominating the horizon.

Before long, they arrived in the closest town to Mount Salbarii. Excitement and apprehension mingled in the air as the group prepared to disembark and begin their mission to get their ship. With their supplies in tow, the repair crates given by the SFSS and determination in their hearts, they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
