A herd of large reptiles rush us from the forest edge and I don't know if it's because there's a Psi-Mage here or what but I instinctively go for my sword and fire up the energy blade. It hums loudly as the intermix chamber fires up and antimatter and matter collide inside the two way forcefiled that makes up the blade.  A split second later and I hear a similar sound come from Shadawar,  With a speed that belies their size over half a dozen have closed the 200 meter gap between us in seconds, and are instantly mere meters away.  I spot the alpha of the group which isn't hard as it's the largest and I make a bee line for it.  I hear Aini shout  "No!" as I leap into the fray joined quickly by Shadawar. The alpha pounces launching itself into the air nearly fifteen feet off the ground.  This beast which looks something like a small Tyrannosaurus, with a spiky head probably weighs in at  nearly a ton, but against us it's not really that impressive.  As my sword reaches the beast's neck I hear the sound of searing flesh and a gurgle of surprise. The beast's massive body falls lifelessly to the ground followed immediately by it's severed head, the look of surprise frozen on it's face.   Out of the corner of my eye I see Aini with her twin pistols drop one, then another and another, I hear the familiar hum of a weapon powered by pure psychic energy and the sound of searing flesh yet again and another reptilian giant falls,  the remaining stragglers at the back of the herd think better of this fight and flee back into the dark forest the emerged from.

'Who else wants some!?!?" Screams Aini at the top of her lungs like some lioness unloosed.  More than a couple of us
are taken by surprise by her outburst but I guess that's what adrenaline does.   I don't think anyone was expecting the quiet little demoness to go ape like that, nor  did I know she was such a good shot.  Shadawar approaches me,

"Your skill with a Psi-Blade is impressive Obsidian. I was unaware That you were a fellow Psi-Mage or perhaps.."  he pauses staring down my firearms  "A Psi-Hunter?"

"Neither actually but I did receive formal training in the use of energy blades."

"I have seen every kind of energy blade in existence, and that weapon you wield is no energy blade.I have only ever seen it ilk in the hands of my brethren." he says examining the now blade-less hilt of his own deadly weapon.

"it's special, one of a kind...I don't know what I was thinking using it in .this situation anyway.  A gun would have been much more effective as Aini clearly demonstrated."

"Indeed, still I am happy we did not have to resort to spell-play."

"Me too and that reminds me..."  

I wave for Caewon to join our discussion and instruct both of them.

" I want you to refrain from using destruction magic as much s possible or at least refrain from casting lightning and fire spells, in this forest  environment it could become quite...problematic understood?

Caewon and Shadawar both nod in agreement, and we return to our investigation into the ruins where  possibly  the surviving crew took shelter.  Our earliest scans indicated that the ship had been flooded with radiation over time and would have become uninhabitable and the crew would've had to take shelter somewhere, this being the most likely place. The ruins are really a sight to behold still mostly intact and according to our scanners nearly 100,000 years old the materials the architects used are phenomenal and stand up incredibly well to weathering with almost no signs of wear.  Closer examination reveals that the stone work isn't stone at all but some kind of metal. How could such a primitive society manipulate a metal this resilient?  The stonework looks like a mixture of Roman and Mayan with a tough of something else. High pillars mark the front of dozens of buildings which dot the landscape. The thing that keeps bothering me though is the fact that everything is so pristine. Where did the people go and why leave everything behind?  We find traces of partially eaten meals and laundry that sits in what would have been the was, all over jobs half completed as if the entire population simply got up, dropped everything they were doing, and walked away.  Its very unsettling to say the least and I star making the rounds to make sure everyone has biological protective gear handy.  I know
