Dex's POV:

"Dex. I need you to CALM DOWN." Fox yells at me.
"Calm down?! THE BLOODY SHIP IS ON FIRE!" I scream back.
"Is that my fault?!" She grips onto the desk as we fall through the atmosphere of Macola.
"YES." I roll my eyes, desperately trying not to die.
The ship lands with a crash so loud I guarantee it could've killed the dinosaurs on Earth.
Were there still dinosaurs on Earth?
I dunno.

    I stand up and walk over to Foxete. She's vomiting. I turn away in respect. I mean, I don't blame her, she just got flung through the air so fast she probably felt whatever she had for lunch.
"Ya good?" I ask her.
Her hand is against the wall and she's breathing heavily, but gives me a thumbs up.
"Ya sure?" I chuckle.
"Yeah... clean up on aisle 7." She smiles.
"I don't understand that..." I laugh, "A human joke?"

"Yeah." She nods.

I look out the window at the planet surrounding us. Saying that it was ugly would be an understatement. I lived in a desert but this... it was worse. It had muddy swamps... everywhere. And.... Snow?!
"Uh... Fox?" I look back at her.
"Wassup Dex?" She joins me at the window and her ears fold downwards, "Oh shit."
"Snow." I sigh.
"That's what you're worried about?! How about the fact that we're in a swamp?" She crosses her arms over her chest.
"That... too..." I drop my head slightly.
"Are you able to handle the snow or do I need to get another person out here?" She asks cocking her head slightly in concern.
"Nah I'll be fine." I reassure her.

    We walk through the swamp until we reach the snowy landscape. Hills upon hills of snow. I couldn't make out anything within a mile radius despite the clear pink sky.
"Fox..." I turn to look at her.
"Don't." She states bluntly. Her face is stone cold, no pun intended.
"What are we gonna do?" I ask.
"Fox the ship, find help with those who won't freeze, and go from there." She sighs, "That's all we can do."
"Alright." I nod, "I'll go back and get Keori."
I turn and walk back towards the ship.

I really hope this will be worth it. We need all the help we can get.
