They traveled from roof to roof with ease.
Mira shook her head. "Can't believe we didn't find anything!" she looked at the sky. “It’s getting light. We need to find a place to hide."

Kronnelti looked around. "To be completely safe, we need to go outside of the city."

Mira agreed. If they were seen again, they would be taking prisoner and drugged. Mira had gotten some of the water just in case Kronnelti’s whiskey did not work for her. "Alright, guess we will see what kind of animals were here on the planet million years from when we beamed down.”

Mira hopped down from the building and landed on a wide wall. "That is a lot further down than I thought. I can't jump that far." Mira told him she would break a bone.

"I can, and I'll catch you." He told her.

"Alright." Mira nodded as soon as he was down he turned around with his arms out. Mira jumped. "We head to the hills over that way. It could give us some over.”

Let's go he said, as they get to the hills they saw dense woods. Stay by me he said as they both started walking in. Looking around he saw a few good spots to make a shelter that would blend in with it's surroundings.

He hands her the ax, find what you can and bring it back. I'll start working on making the shelter.

As he starts digging into the ground he gets 5ft deep and 10ft wide of a hole. He then carefully makes a hole for cooking with a chimney. Next he grabs some flat stone for the beds along with long grass to add as a layer of comfort.

It takes Mira a few hours to chop down some wood as it takes another hour to make several trips back to camp.

Kronnelti takes the long pieces and creates a structure around adding the smaller pieces to build up the walls. They both gather tree branches to make the roof adding that cover which blends it in. Lastly he made sure there was a door and window.

It takes 6 hours total but the shelter is built. This will be home for now. Let's go hunt, any water we find should get boiled. I'm not sure if boiling it will kill anything in it he said.

"Yea and I am not sure what food will not make us sick. just eat a little of something we see the others animals eat. I remember on hell I was sick most of the time."

Scout first and get our bearings, learn the lay of the land. Anything you think would be edible including any animal that's possible game he said

Mira nodded "and make sure the animals don't think we are food. Let's stay away from the swamp."

Kronnelti starts marking trees near the encampment, the markings are in both klingon and trill mixed together.

Ok let's go he said, as they walk Kronnelti notices it's dim. Mira it's going to be difficult to keep track of daylight in here he said.

Off in the distance they could hear growls, chirps and screams from the various animals.

As they go further in something snaps a branch, both Kronnelti and Mira duck into the bushes. A what looks like a buck walks out in front, it's massive she thinks food Kronnelti thinks.

Kronnelti slips out his Bowie knife and ax, Mira looks at him as he sets up his aim.

With the flick of his wrist the knife sticks in the bucks neck, Kronnelti jumps out and leaps on it severing the skull with his ax.

He lifts it up and fireman carries it back to camp.

"We cook it then only eat a small amount. If it agrees with our body then we can eat more. I wish our tricorders were working. That would tell us for sure if it's save. " Mira frowned

{Camp}

"Save everything we can on it. We don't know how long we will be here." She told him

He nods as he skins it then carefully cuts the meat from the bone making stacks and smaller cuts.

This should be enough, he gets the fire going then places two of the smaller pieces of meat near the fire to cook. The then takes the bigger ones and hands them up to cure/dry age.

Wish I had seasonings he said but we have to make due.

He flips both steaks to finish cooking them. Once they looked good enough he takes his knife and places them on two slabs of stone.

He reaches into his travel bag and pulls out two forks and knives. Mira looks at him...what I always carry these he said.

Cutting into his steak it's fully cooked, he cuts a small piece and chews it.

He makes a face, oh it's strong in taste but tender he said.

Let's eat this and relax for a bit he said. We'll go back out in the next hour.

Mira nodded leaning up against a tree.
