《Starbound: A Space Odyssey》The Floran Colony (5)

John opened the Atomic Furnace and withdrew the metal ingots and a few other things.
Lenny curiously looked at the furnace. "So... How are you going to make the bullets?"
"It's very simple, in fact." John said while he cautiously retrieved some kind of powder from the furnace. "I just need to place the necessary materials inside the Assembler, select what I need to be done, and then we just have to wait."
"What is that?" Lenny looked at the orange powder that John was carefully collecting from the Atomic Furnace.
"This is Volatile Powder." John filled some metal tubes with the powder. "It's what you get after grinding a Core Fragment in molecular level. It's basically a very powerful gunpowder, it's what create the explosion that propel the bullet, and also what is used to create granades, rockets, dynamites, etc."
"Oh..."
John took the Volatile Powder, iron, copper and lead ingots into the machine that looked just like a washing machine with some high-tech things here and there.
"Now... I just need to find the blueprints..." John scrolled through the list of things that the Assembler was able to create. "Ha! Here it is." He soon found the ammunition he was looking for. "How many do you need?" John turned around to look at Lenny that was behind him.
"I think about 200 for the revolvers and 100 for my rifle." Lenny answered after some thought.
"Okay..." John clicked at the options for the two types of ammunition. "Do need some mags?"
"No, I already have enough of them."
"Alright... Then... All done." John walked away from the machine and it soon started making various noises. John looked at it, but he couldn't see what was happening inside it. "It will be done in 6 hours." He glanced at the timer that was displaying in the Assembler's screen.

"Then... Wake me up when we arrive at our destination, I'll be at my room, sleeping." Lenny yawned and stepped out of the Crafting Room.
John helplessly shook his head, then he went back to slicing and processing the Batongs' meat. He also separated the paralyzer poison since it might come handy later.
And so it passed two days without problem, John was working in the Crafting Room while Lenny stayed by his room doing whatever he was doing and only left his room when it was time to eat.
"Protector..." S.A.I.L's emotionless voice woke John up. "... We'll be arriving at our destination in 1 hour."
John lazily stood up. He was inside the Captain's Quarter, in the bed.
After waking up, he went directly to the bathroom and took a shower.
He decided to wear the Scouter Armor Set and not the Terrene Protectorate uniform.
Soon enough he was ready. Then, he went find Lenny.
And... He was sleeping at the Crew's Quarters, what a surprise!
"Lenny!" John went beside Lenny's ear and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Ah!" Lenny swiftly woke up and apprehensively looked everywhere around him. "Connor?" Lenny saw that John was the only living being around him, so he dropped his guard.
"We will arrive shortly, get ready to beam down"
Lenny sadly sighed and stood up from his bed.
John's lips twitched when he saw how lazy Lenny was. "I'll be waiting for you by the teleporter." John walked away from the room leaving Lenny alone.
Lenny slowly stood up and after that, he checked his own PIPS. [Oh, right, I forgot to take the ammunition.]
He left the room and went find John. "Connor." Lenny called out for John when he saw him by the elevator.
"Ready?" John glanced at Lenny.
"No, I forgot to take the ammunition."
John sighed, "Ahhh... Just go take it, they are inside the Assembler."

"Alright."
In just a few minutes Lenny returned to the teleporter. "Now I'm ready..."
"Let's go then." John said. "S.A.I.L, Protector's ready to beam down."
"Roger that." S.A.I.L acknowledged the command. "Teleportation starting in... 3... 2... 1... Now!"
A white light enveloped both John and Lenny's body, and soon they disappeared from the spot.
...
Somewhere in the Forest planet that John and Lenny just arrived...
"Sir." A soldier wearing a complete set of black armor called out for another soldier that looked way more burly, bigger and menacing. "We got a situation."
"Explain." The burly guard approached and said with a deep and menacing voice.
"Two more people had just teleported to this planet." The guard explained.
"Two more!?" The burly guard berated. "Send the squad 8 to eliminate them." He sternly ordered. "Also, how is the squad 6 in their mission of eliminating the previous intruder?"
"I'll check immediately..." The guard faced the computer in front of him and started to send the order for the squad 8, then he went to check the situation at the squad 6's side.
"Squadron Leader what's the situation?" The guard asked, but there was no response from the other side. "Squad number 6, do you copy?" He tried again, but no answer.
"God damnit!" The burly guard punched the metal table in front of him. "Send the Squads 5 and 9 toward the first intruder. I want him or her dead in less then 2 hours!"
"Yes, sir!" The guard started to send the orders right away.
[What is happening here?] The burly guard angrily thought to himself. [Why all of sudden we have 3 intruders in this planet? Do I warn Oscar...? No, I can resolve this problem by myself. The Miniknog will arrive in just 5 days, I can't fuck this up.]
...
In the Forest planet...
"ARGH!!!!" A scream of pain echoed throughout the previous calm and peaceful forest.
The guard wearing a complete black armor fell on the ground while moaning in pain. He tried to get up, but he was unable to do so because there was a spear that had pierced his abdomen and pinned him on the ground.
He looked at the spear and realized that it was completely made of a grayish wood. It was very simplistic and there was almost no decoration but the strange runic patterns that were everywhere in the spear.
The guard tried to take the spear out of his chest, but the spear didn't bulged even a single centimeter after he used all his strength to take it out.
It was at this moment he heard the sound of footsteps coming from in front of him. He lifted his eyes, but all he was able to see was a young Floran with a green skin and a colored flower on top of her head.
She approached very calmly, even though she was sometimes stepping in dried leaves it didn't made any sound.
The guard looked at those black eyes and a dreaded feeling rose inside of him.
It was that same Floran that had killed all his companions from the Squad 6. He was the sole survivor, but from the looks of it, not anymore.
"Wh-who are you?" He fearfully asked while his mouth trembled in dread.
"My name is... Peri." She said calmly, but her voice was cold and filled with killing intent. "I'm here to avenge my family."
She stopped by the guard and with a swift move she cut the guard's throat using a knife that she was caring in her hand.
Peri than took the spear and walked away from the body.
