Janu N'yovem quickly monitored the engines functioning. Ah, running at 99.999%. One of them is slightly overheated. Landing on the planet will cool it down.
He moved swiftly over to a different screen and typed in some words. A few windows opened up on the large monitor with numbers, graphs, and text. He held a thin finger over the screen and looked over everything. Computers are working. One has a slight glitch in it, sometimes not properly displaying text. Must fix that. He typed something in a smaller window and entered it. It added it onto a list named To Be Fixed. The list was small now but Janu expected it to grow soon. His finger moved to a different window. He analyzed the numbers and words on it. Air pumps are excellent. One has an outdated maintenance system. Must fix that too. He added it onto his list.
A human poked his head into the mid-sized room. First his eyes glossed over all the open windows and monitors, before saying "Hey N'yovem, you're on the exploration team! Get your gun and get moving."
Janu nodded. "Yes. Of course. Exploration on the new planet. Though I must--"
"Now!" He said loudly before pulling back his head and running down the hall to inform the others on the team.
Janu turned away from the doorway. He typed in Pause Mode. The computer asked for confirmation. He selected yes. The computer than efficiently saved all of his work and darkened all the monitors. When he came back, everything would be just as it was. He could continue his work on monitoring the ship's running's. That was his job, after all. He pushed a small button on the wall and a small rack slid out. On it were various weapons, though nothing too powerful. Janu grabbed two guns, put them on his belt and walked out.
Janu was one of the aliens on the crew. He was a Moryin, a species originating from planets that were filled with strange creatures of glowing proximity. In fact, if it was pitch black, a faint glow would emit from his pale skin. He was 8 feet tall and easily towered over many of the crew workers on the ship. His legs reminded some humans of a creature they called a bird, due his legs bending backwards. Most noticeable about him was his frill. It fanned out behind his head, starting from the tip of his head and ending at the end of his neck (which was twice as long as a humans). It was only present in the males of his species and was a symbol of his health and age. As of now, he was 70 years old, roughly equal to a 30 year old human.
Janu exited the ship and breathed in the air. It had a slight bitter taste to him, but otherwise it was breathable to him. Some of the humans glanced at him quickly but looked away again. He at first took the time to look at his surrounding, but than noticed a woman barge through the forest. What was she doing? He quickly walked over to a crewman and asked.
"Her? I don't know, don't care."
Janu was surprised. Humans didn't even care for one another of their own species? "Could get hurt out there. Must help her."
The crewman shrugged. "You wanna help her? Go on ahead."
Janu nodded. "Yes. Good idea. Will help her." He galloped off, trailing the woman.
The crewman yelled after him. "Hey wait, I didn't mean...!"
But Janu had already vanished into the forest.
