4 days after the crash.
Dawn
Outside of the ship a man called the captain is standing tall. Wearing a armored skin tight outfit with an exoskeleton attached to it. In his right hand. A futuristic pistol with a long barrel is pointed down to the ground with something akin to a red dot, but its actually a thermal feed showing blue as cold and white red as the hotest point in the view.
On his side a mech with an open cockpit is present, standing over 5 meters tall, it has 2 arms and 2 legs the cockpit sitting in the body of the mech. Its armor and gss designed to withstand the harshness of space. Under of its left arm, a psma heavy machine gun is present and a missile pod. The machine gun serving as a barrage fire to eliminate hordes of enemies and if thats not enough or they are in the air, the missile would help. Then with the other arm, under it, having another barrel, but this time instead of small arms fire, retive to its size. It is a light psma cannon, it is designed to penetrate heavy armor. Both weapons on its arms are currently retracted with the main hand that has 5 fingers currently extended.
The captain then looked at the feed that is being shown in his eyes then made a decision. He opened his coms and said
"Alright get inside now, sun is going down"
While he was waiting for everyone outside to follow his instructions, he walked up to his mech and started to pilot it, he closed the hatch and then started walking.
"This is omega, status report"
"Alpha 1, clear"
"Alpha 2 clear"

(Captains pov)
Hmmmm, nothing so far which is good. Lets keep it that way.
I then started to look through the sensor feeds that the mech was giving me.
Alright clear imma call them all back. Hahhh thankfully the eggheads managed to comeup with a solution quickly, currently we only had 3 mechs mine included, i think tomorrow we could coat the systems of the others so we get 5 then we can expand our search area and find better solutions to our problems--
A dot in my feed cuts of my train of thought, i observed it for a while then more started appearing.
They're coordinated?,hmmmm i wonder what these are. They're big, 2-3 meters tall
"This is omega, activity present in my location multiple signatures,bearing 2 4 5, 500 meters out "
"Copy, moving into closer position"
"Copy, moving in"
The two other mechs reported. The dots growing in numbers and getting closer and closer to the ship.
"All personnel get into the ship!, mech units group on me, all units weapons up and guard the main entrance"
I called in the whole unit of soldiers at my disposal, while also backing off to the ships main entrance.
These movements, are they running away?
As I was thinking I saw a blip, that was bigger than the rest, and by big i meant bigger than our mechs.
"We got a big one, 6 meters tall!!, confirm"
I reported in the coms
"Confirmed target present"
The other mech confirmed
"Once those things break through scare them away, if its the big one hit it"
The creatures then quickly closed the gap and exited the treeline that we have created 50 meters away. The creatures were not the same species, some looked like predators like giant wolves and weirdly enough some dinosaur like creatures, like velociraptors, some prey, like boars and some massive ostriches.
Then the psma machine guns of the two other mechs fired aiming at path of the creatures. Blue streaks of hot fire streaked the ground,Creating bright fshes and loud booms making the creatures turn away to a different direction.
The giant creature then also slowly closed the gap of the treeline but it did not exit. I looked through my thermals.
It looked like a humanoid creature thats straight out of horror. No head long arms wide body long legs. It has hands but instead of a regur hand its sharp cws.
Why did it stop,is it inteligent?
The creature the leaned down trying to grab something. In turn i aimed and charged my cannon to its center of mass.
What the fuck is it doing.
"Standby, weapons ready wait for me"
Then when it stood up straight on its right hand a massive piece of boulder. It then moved back its hand and turned sideways.
I wasted no time and shot it my cannon projectile raced to its target with its fiery blue glow incinerating everything in its path then once it hits, a small fsh appeared followed by a fireball behind the creature that also blew backwards away from the creature burning the trees behind it to a crisp.
The creature not standing with a massive burning hole in its chest slumps down and falls to the ground with the forest surrounding starting to burn abze.
Hmmm probably should not have used the full charge. Meh were going to clear that side anyway.
"Aight overtime, alpha 1 help me contain the spread. Alpha 2 retrieve the creature and bring it closer, Light units cover the entrance while alpha 2 brings it back once he returns you can rest"
"Copy, that"
We then sprinted 45kph to the surrounding forest to contain the spread of the fire with alpha 2 going to the creature to drag it out of the fire.
After a few hours of mechanical bor we were able to contain the fire by cutting the surrounding trees down. And if the fire spreads to fast i would use one of the trees as a swatting tool to pat the fire out.
If it works it works.
after that we returned back to base, and out of curiosity i looked at the creature that tried to stone us.
It looked like a grotesque collection of creatures that was sewn together by an idiot. Bones that grew from pces it should not have, crystals growing on its skin. On top of its headless body is a face with beady eyes thats also covered in bones. Its cws are made of some kind of metal its skin is like bark. Overall its like an overmutated ENT.
The eggheads are going to have a field day on this.
We waited until it became morning again, that is when we started to analyze it.
First we found out that the creature is emitting a lot of the radiation, which is ter confirmed when alpha 2 said that his mech started stuttering while he was dragging the thing back.
Secondly its body is incredibly sturdy, its like metal in terms of strength but it also started to slowly weaken.
Which is the third thing, the radiation is weakening overtime, and so is its strength so there must be a corretion between the two.

(3rd person pov)
A 3 days have passed since the first kill of the creature and its examination. Which led them to a few more discoveries like a crystal that is producing a different radiation using the radiation that is disabling their tech, meaning it is converting the wild radiation to a more tame one and thus making the tech work again.which also made them decide to hunt some other creatures to find these crystals. Though slowly they found that even if the effects are better than using the pnts. Its less economical because there is alot less of the crystal than the pnt which is everywhere. So they decided to put the advancement of the crystal based coating on hold for now, instead they made a basic version for use on the more sophisticated techs.
In one of the dormant growing chambers of the ship 3 engineers are working together to shield the systems and the drones from the radiation so that the bio dome could start creating food.
"Hey james!, do you have more RadX coating!"
The engineer shouted to james who was on top of some balcony also fixing some things, asking for more of the coating that shields from the mysterious radiation which they named RadX because they're tired of calling it Mysterious radiation so thay call it RadX.
"NO!, I think swan has 2 more cans ask him!"
James shouted back.
"Alright!!"
The engineer then walked to swan who was under a drone that was a meter tall working on something from below.
"Hey swan, you got more coatings?"
"Ohh right on the carts"
Swan replied without getting out of the drone
"Thanks"
He then grabbed one can of the RadX coatings then starts going back to his area. Meanwhile swan slid out of the drone and called him.
"Mathew wait"
The engineer named matthew turned around and said
"What is it?"
He asked curiously
"Your done with the 9 cans i gave you?"
Swan asked him
"Uhhhhh yes, why is there a problem"
He replied confused at the inquiry of Swan.
"Hmmm, go rest for now, im not even done with my second can, i bet james just started on his fourth"
"I could still work"
"Haiya, you workaholics, look its ok go rest, we'll take it from here, just leave this here"
Swan grabbed the can and set it down to his side.
"Ooook?"
"Go and eat something, or sleep what ever just rest"
"Ok"
Matthew then proceded to go out of the growing chambers and head down towards the canteen. He then grabbed some chow and sat on a table nearby. While eating he was tapped lightly on the shoulder.
"Hey you look lonely"
A womanly voice said to him
"Well im on break, what do you want selena"
He asked some annoyance in his voice.
"To annoy you, hmmmmmm"
She said with a ft smile. Her curly log curly hair going down her side with her modest chest being covered by her clothes.
"Do you have nothing to do?"
Matthew said.
"First of, lets me ask you this, do you see any kids around?"
She asked sarcastically
"Uhhh you?"
Once he uttered these words he got pinched on his side.
"Owww"
"Ima get some food"
She started walking towards food stalls. With matthew smirking a little then he continued eating.

Somewhere again in the forest.
A mage with white hair and ash complexion walks through the dense jungle of trees. She then sees a breach in the sea of trees that she has been accustomed to.
She stumbled upon a small hill that shows a vast area. Infront of her a massive object rivaling a mountain in size is sitting quietly. The mountain on its side having a massive gash on its side.
I cannot believe that thing was floating a few days ago
She though within her self.
Are those clearings?, its to far to see but it seems to be that way, are there creatures inside that ship?.
She wondered about the creatures that housed the ship.
Hmmm the princes said that they are friendly, though i'm not so sure, if they are clearing a forest that meant that they developed the same way we did.
She thought further then she concluded.
Im probably overthinking it, im probably imagining some kind of vegetarian that lives in trees kind of friendly, i dont know.
She then walked of the small cliff and nded down on the ground below safely then continued on her journey towards the mysterious object.
