((Hidden from the burning sun by an overhanging shelf of rock, Orion, Marchus, and Sagitta made a plan. They had arrived early in the morning, before dawn and well before the day could warm into its full Issiq heat, but they had not found a single one of their intended prey.)) Now late afternoon, the trio had grown tired and frustrated after checking every source of water in the region. Plenty of animals were spotted, but none were nukap, which the picky aerobic royals had specifically req...

Chase led the way through the fungal forest with Celestial and Prime on her heels. At the back of the group was Iro, carrying a sleepy Eidolon. Unlike the other two whelps, she had grown tired quickly and needed help to carry on the expedition. The five colonists were on a trip to L'Hatzif so the whelps could experience a new location, and so far they had all enjoyed it greatly. ((The tall mushrooms blotted out the sky, a vastly different view to the wide-open plains of Mireh, and the ...

"Oh, thank you, thank you!" Bloe exclaimed, her white-striped tail splashing in the water. "You have no idea how grateful I am." Watching Bloe's children, three young draconic tark'ee, scramble around the beach, Spring thought maybe he could guess. With how energetic they were, he was glad to have Milli and Hivoo with him to help watch the kids. Caring for them alone sounded exhausting. Hivoo was already chasing after one of the wiggly whelps, trying to keep him from getting too fa...

Cinnamon sat down hard, panting. It was so hot. When Rangipo had asked her to come help out in her stead, she'd been expecting it to be warm, maybe even warmer than she was used to back home in Mireh, but this was truly terrible! Bani, also called in to assist the ailing colony, stopped to pat her on the shoulder. "I know," she commiserated. "We used to live here in L'Hatzif, but I never heard of a heat wave like this!" Cinnamon shook her head. Even the people who were u...

Equinox, Meteym, and Sygale stood at the mine entrance, waiting for their Mireh expert. Spring was running slightly late, but he soon appeared over a hill, trotting quickly toward them. As he reached the group, he stopped to catch his breath, and Equinox stepped forward to make introductions. With that, the four colonists donned hard hats equipped with lights, ready to enter the mine. ((Inside was brownish stone, moss clinging to every surface as far as the light reached.)) Sygale ...

((Despite it only being early Kerah, snow was already falling on the Rekesan mountains. It was still too warm to stick, but the snow colored the sky and faraway distances in gray-white.)) Bani watched it from where she cuddled against Blaat to stay warm. "Do you think it'll delay today's expedition?" she asked. Blaat shrugged. He didn't have much experience with snow, as the youngest of the group. Hivoo heard Bani's question as she returned to the two tark'ee after consulting with...

Four whelps gathered around an awkward pair of Xunari, who looked as though they'd rather be anywhere else. Boppler and Honovi had decided to bring up their concerns with the nearest colony, but had not expected to be greeted by a contingent of whelps. A mostly-white tsab, Lora, gazed in open awe at Boppler's large ears while a cerulean tark'ee, Sweetpea, attempted to pounce on Honovi's tailtip. Glow, a grey and blue tark'ee, hung back by Roam, one of the adults who had accompanied the group,...

Four colonists trekked along a well-worn path in the undergrowth. ((Overhead, insects buzzed, still active despite Kerah nearing the middle of its season. Any time the wind picked up, dust appeared to float through the air, though a closer look would reveal them to be mushroom spores by their yellow and green color. The spores settled on the colonists, giving the darkest, Rubus, a frosted appearance.)) Chase led the group. Her stride was confident, as if she had walked this path be...

Four tsabhua gathered at the edge of the water. ((The flooded hallway was normally dark, but in all the activity, someone had placed a portable floodlight pointing at the still, ominous water. It was colder in the second ring than the first, but just as humid, giving the air a clammy feeling that clung to the fur of the group.)) Nauxha had accompanied Orion and Sea as part of the assistance agreement between the two colonies, but Nazig had already been present when they arrived, contemplating...

On a day in late Kerah, Bouba, Té Alvuin, and Kholchu played cards in the relative shelter of a high-altitude Rekesen research outpost. The two colonies had been charged with studying how snowfall in Rekes affected weather in Mireh and L'Hatzif, and the two belemoids and tark'ee were stuck doing the snowfall measurements. ((They were almost literally stuck- without near daily clearing, the wind blew snowdrifts against the door to trap them. The heater could only ever manage a somewhat cool t...

Marchus checked over their supplies while Nauxha looked around, searching for the best way forward.  Sunlight streamed from the bunker entrance, finally open wide, but the light ahead of them was tinted oddly blue.  The Xunari of Wayward Station had not dedicated much time to the mystery of the bunkers, being too busy repairing wind damage to the colony’s main structure, but with the bunkers open and the repair...

Dawn led the way through the tall grass, her head high and her steps confident.  She had walked this path several times before, and knew it well.  The two whelps that followed her were slightly older, but less certain in the journey and willing to allow Dawn to guide them.  Hunter kept a close eye on the open grassland around them, her attention caught by birds soaring overhead or the whisk of wind on the grass.  Dancer watched the surrounding environment as...
