Earlier todayIbegan work on the infiltrator avatar.SoIwasableto switch over to the infiltrator whenIlostconnection."Now to see what happened to myoldbody."Iwalked into the medical bay to seeCarolstanding over my bodyholdinga chair.
Carollooked startled and said."Who areyouwhereyoucame from?''She pointed the chair at me.
Andrew and Steve both turnedaroundand looked at me, And then shouted at the same time."AREYOU AN ELF?
Cray
"I''m Cray and how did you guys both know what an elf is?"
Steve and Andrewsaid,"we both game all the time with."Theywere interrupted byCarol."themselves!"sheglared at the two of them.Andrewthensaid."elves are in a lot of games, so we know what they look like."Craythensaid."there''s a town near here that has people that look like elves, so I decided to use an infiltrator to look like them." while waving down to myself.
Andrew and Stephen asked at the same time "Can we come,"I thought about it.Therewasn''treallyanything they could dohere.I wasn''t ganna keepthemlocked up in here for their own safety.All Ireallyneed to dois,armthemand givethemdisguises.After all, thererequiredto have basic military training in order toevenbe on a spaceship. I reply to their question:yes, but I''ll need to make sure to get you guys disguises and weapons."Carol looked startled for a second and then said:"wait what, if you''re goingto seea whole new race I''m coming to."
I walked back into the engineering room andsawmy face on a mirror that was over a worktable.My face was bland average cheeksdarkbrownhair, and the Elven pointed ears withdarkbrowneyes."this is an infiltrator?" I guess thefacessupposed to be unmemorable.
I made another 15 spider bots and to excavators.They would beginbuildingan underground tunnel from the bottom of the ship to the shoreline.SoonCarol wouldn''t have to worry about the giant lizards.ThereasonwhyIdidn''tjustkillthe lizards, is becauseIthink they''rethereasonwhythe ship hasn''t been scavenged yet. There are only two ships that could be scavenged, and one of them had been picked clean to the skeletal structure.
Iwas wearing a standard engineering jumpsuit.SoIwas going to have to make disguises for not only me buteverybodyelse as well.Icalledeverybodyinto the room and then wasted 4 hours.Everybody waspicking outclothes from scouts videos taken of the city.Andrewand Stevepicked outsome leather armor, While Carolpicked outthree dresses.She wanted totrythem on first before choosing.Shefinallyended up going with a dark brown dress with an apron in front.The other two dresses were clearly meant for nobility and would''ve stood out far too much.
At this point,Ireceived a report from the excavator drones, saying they completed the tunnel.Igave everybody electromagnetic pistols and the equipment torefillthem.Ihad madesureto replace the batteries with power crystals before we went down.

Electromagnetic pistols description:theammois a tungsten round with an iron jacket designed for the military.It can penetrate most medium armor.Each shot is the equivalency of a 50 caliber round.Eachpistolclip can hold up to 34 rounds ofammo.Thepistolsalsohave an inertial compensator built-in to the bottom of the barrel and in front of the trigger guard.Thepistolsalso look and feel like a Glock 19.
We finallygot downto the bottom level of the ship and entered the tunnel.The tunnel was perfectly round with a catwalk suspended in the middle.It wentstraightfor 200m before hitting a slant, and a catwalk changed from aflatpath to stairs.The stairs led to a bunker with a doorway that we could use to get in and out.Ihadthe drones place a turret on top of the bunker and one more in the tunnel in case something tried to break in.
While we''re gone, I''ll have the drones finish patching the ship and emptying out all the water.The systems for the crew quarters will be repaired as well.So though be able tospendtime in their own rooms.
IhadScout start flying back to us so he couldleadus to the town.Itwasgoingtobea long walk.Itwas toughgoingwalking through the woods, butitwentbyfast.Andrew and Steve were talking to me the whole time aboutD&Draces.Carol stayed quiet the whole time.We got to a dirt road.Scout landed right beside me and folded up his wings into his front legs.Henow looked like a Doberman with the boxhehead.
Ittookus five more minutes of walking down the road before wesawthe walls of the city.During this time Carol kept trying to petScout,Scoutwouldlether, but occasionallyhewould wander off.Right before we came inside of the gate, ItoldScoutto go backtopatrolling around the city.
When we reached the gates, There were two guards, one standing on either side of the gate.The guards barelytook notice of us as we walked through.Iguess they''reherejustto keep out monsters.As we walked by one of the guards said "morning,"Ianswered back without thinking "morningtook me a second, butwhenIreplayed the video ofwhenhesaidmorning, but his lips didn''tmatchwhathesaid.Is there some kind of Auto translation going on here?Iwonder if that''s anewpart of the HUD.
More people continued to talk in the street as we walked by and none of their mouths match what they were saying."IguessIdon''t have tolearnanewlanguage now"Iset out loudCarolStephen and Andrew all looked at me at the same timeCarolasked."What do you mean?Ireplied."
-"There''s somekind ofAuto translation going on so that we canunderstandthe natives,havingyou notice they''re all speaking ourlanguage."
-Carolturned her head and listening to the people around her whilewatchingthem."Yeah, their lips aren''t right, but I can still understand them.That''sprettygood, for us anyways,"
Itoldthe group "For now, let''s try andasksomebody to figure out why one of our engines is randomly turning on and off in the middle of the city.And find more information about the world here."
