Chapter XII: Another Day, Another Encounter ~J.C.

Opening his eyes J.C. woke up to see two people looking down at him. Who are you people? Asked J.C.. The stranger continued to stare at the robot stuck in the bottom of the deep crater and replied, “the better question is who are you! But just for your information I am mazzic and this (pointing to an average person reading what looks like a manual of sorts) is Kyanosa.” “Well Mazzic and Kyanosa it would really help if you could drop me a line or something and get me out of this pit I dug for myself.” “Have you tried digging away at the dirt walls of the pit to make a ramp out?” replied Kyanosa without looking up from his reading. Ugh. Why didn’t I think of that before? J.C. questioned himself.
Soon… “Well..Umm…Thanks for the help. My name’s J.C. (pronounced Jay-see) I’m a robot of sorts. I came to this planet to investigate the strange patterns of the landmasses and the strange aura of energy surrounding it.” “Well” Thought Mazzic “I wonder if that’s the only reason he came here?” He looked up to see J.C. Staring up at a large object burning through the planets atmosphere. What! Don’t tell me you haven’t seen a meteor burning up in the planets atmosphere before. Have you? “Oh, I’ve seen dozens of them where I came from.” Said J.C. as the so-called meteor broke up into a couple pieces sending a bunch of smaller pieces their way. “But that’s not a meteor. It’s my gear.” “You’re what?” Asked Mazzic. “My gear.” Repeated J.C. “I had my lieutenant shoot over my gear so I could start my full exploration of this planet underway. But it seems that the capsule won’t make it down here in one piece. In fact… Hold on! Here comes one now!” As if on queue an object quickly blasted past the crew of 3 and impacted into a small rock formation nearby. J.C. raced up to it to examine what he had just recovered of his scattered equipment. “Ahh what luck! Exclaimed J.C. This is my containment cube!” Before any one could ask J.C. started to explain that it was a device that allowed him to store multiple objects with out having to carry their bulky weight around. Shall we try it out? Asked J.C. And before anyone could reply typed in the security code on the pad on one side of the cube. Instantly all of them were sucked into the cube via a portal shaped opening on the side of the box.
        Inside was a pretty much empty room with a couple of doors with security locks. J.C. turned around and said, “Well how does it feel to be shrunk down to the size of a molecule?” “Well For one thing” piped up Kyanosa “It sure seems empty in here.” Well Yes. Continued J.C. “This is the room where all of my equipment belongs, I’ll show you people some of the other rooms later.” “ Even though this is really fun.” Mazzic said sarcastically. “I think we should go back and rejoin with the others.” “Others?” Questioned J.C. “Yeah the other people we are with.” Implied Mazzic. “Well in that case lets get moving.” J.C. Quickly pressed a button on the wall and soon they were back outside. “Hey mind if I tag along with you guys?” Asked J.C. “Fine with me” said Mazzic “Hmm I wonder what will happen now that we picked up this guy Thought Mazzic. Hey and who knows, J.C. said aloud maybe we’ll come across some of my lost equipment. And with that the three people set off in the direction Mazzic and Kyanosa came from.
