Maybe your crash landing wasn't so epic. Nor your failed attempt to give the Dan Heng CPR. Whatever! It couldn't get worse, landing on a strange, foreign planet and getting down shot by something, right? And March was sick, back in her room on the Express, along with the rest of the crew.

Dan Heng and you were searching the nearby ruins. You'd come across unusual statues. That happened to be hostile. In the midst of battle, there had been a flash of blue light, a man appearing with some kind of blade.

He needed to evacuate the refugees to Okhema, as soon as possible. But first things first, possible threats must be dealt with. Were these newcomers friend or foe?

Now then, to lightly inform the two of the situation...
