I realized I hadn't put anything up this month. So have this and as it has been months a recap of part one:

Secondary pilot Leo and pilot Beckendorf are flying a spaceship. A sudden asteroid field causes them to go into hyper drive and after Beckwndorf dies they end up in unfamiliar territory and Leo is left to fly a ship meant to be flown by two. The Knight Percy tries to help and burns his hands in the process. They crash.

Percy, Leo Knight Reyna, and the Prince Nico (who was already in bad shape) survive the crash and find out they are on a primitive planet they've never head  of. Zoë brings them to a facility where Annabeth, Nyssa, and Will are to try and help them. They also reveal that the Erebans (the aliens) have a thing call Magri in their bodies which gives them power and also Leo thinks about how he can either get home and face execution or if the prince dies he has a chance at life.

Got all that? Good. Now read.

The Alien Issue (Part Two)

Percy was feeling restless.

It had been three days since he and the others had landed upon this strange planet. For the past two days the others and their hosts had all managed to keep themselves occupied, Leo was busy taking apart the ship to fix pieces and put it back along with the help of the scientist named Nyssa. The second scientist, Annabeth, meanwhile poured over the ship's initial blueprints trying to make sense of diagrams, so she could help Leo to alter the designs to work with the materials which were available. Reyna busied herself by keeping a careful eye on Will, the medic, as he tried to heal the Prince with his primitive methods.

Though Percy himself could not busy himself with anything. He still didn't have full control of his bandaged hands, so he had no choice, but to simply sit around and watch. It was both boring and nerve wracking.

"I still can't get over the fact that this is actually happening," Nyssa said excitedly from where she stood next to the damaged ship some sort of tool in her hands.

"That makes two of us," Leo muttered. The secondary pilot stood on top of the ship removing damaged panels and tossing them down to the floor.

"It's just so amazing! Traveling between planets and stars so easily! How do you do it? You must have traveled everywhere! What are the craziest places you've been? Wait no, ignore that. Tell how you discovered space travel?" Nyssa questioned. Her eyes went to Leo but the Secondary rolled his eyes and she looked to Percy who shrugged.

"Um... I'm just a Knight. Essentially I'm a glorified bodyguard... Leo would know the most as the Secondary and the mechanic."

Leo sighed. "I don't know how it was discovered, but it's been a couple thousand years at least."

"What does the ship run on?"

"An engine."

"What powers the engine?"

"Fuel and the pilot."

"The pilot?"

"Nyssa, let him work," Annabeth chided. The scientist sat across from Percy at a table papers stacked in front of her.
