Megaera approached Gaia. She was still wearing her exoskeleton and had a cable attached to her suit to recharge its power supply. She had saved the location of their base camp on her computer before leaving. It was at the nighttime side of the planet now. She landed near the old camp after deactivation her cloaking device and shut the systems down. After walking a few minutes she saw Mi had uncovered her wrecked bayonet and Mi had greatly depleted food supplies.
Megaera saw the Takatea sleeping outside the ship. She walked to it and cuddled it, surprising herself at how much she missed the creature. She didn't see Mi and decided to look for her in the morning. The takatea looked up at Meg in curiosity, before laying back down. Megaera snuggled against the warm animal and fell asleep herself.
