It's already been two months since Colette arrived to the colony. Two long months spent in a tropical hellhole somewhere at the other edge of the universe. During those two months, her life changed so radically, she couldn't even keep track of it. From a weirdo alternative jazz musician psych student she turned into a weirdo survivalist jungle medic, and that wasn't exactly how she imagined her near future. Neverthless, she actually found herself to be useful here and in a way, enjoyed working with the other colonists, treating their wounds, both physically and mentally. She never would've expected herself to perform so effectively, so, she was kinda surprised and proud of herself. Also, she found some friends among the colonists, people she could rely on and get along with. As a true extrovert, she was aching for company, for people to talk to, and that was one thing she was lacking when she arrived to this planet. Nowadays, she also  regularly went out to sing and play guitar for the local kids, who greatly appreciated her little show.

However, when this so-called 'scorch' came, everything turned upside down again. Suddenly life on the colony became literally unbearable, people had to stay inside for the day, as the sun was melting them like a hot boiling pot, and one could only come out at night when the temperature was somewhat more tolerable. Colette tried to help as many people as possible, treating their burns and other injuries caused by the sun. She still haven't got any packages of hers, but at least, she had her small medkit and some other accessories for her work. They said everyone should move up to the north, and Col helped setting up the colonists for their journey and stayed behind to check everyone and everything was shipped out successfully.

Tonight it was finally her time to move north. Most of her belongings (she only had a few in all, actually) were already transported there by some people she asked to help her move, in exchange for bandaging up a few wounds and stuff. She left the remainder of their colony behind, and started her journey by night, using her tablet device to help her navigate. However, given her great big talent for getting lost, she soon missed the way and found herself alone in the dark, trying to beg her tablet to give her the right direction - but the small device was apparently quite stubborn. It took her almost an hour in the dark until she finally found some signs of life. She heard two people talking somewhere nearby, inside the darkness. She almost jumped up in joy as she realized those two might mean her way out of here, they could probably even escort her to the destination up north.

"Heyyyy! Who's there?", Colette shouted into the darkness, using her small torch to bring some light, but it was mostly futile, "Hello there people!"
