Javier Contreras and other soldiers received orders from HQ, to set up camp on the surface of Ulysses-52 and so that researchers could perform tests on the local flora and fauna. Alongside them was medical officer Nathan Wells.

Down on the surface of the planet, scientists were able to figure if there was any hostile fauna. There wasn't. At least, no natural enemies. They made camp, while the soldiers were providing security. They set up a comms station so they could receive info from HQ. Javier Contreras was scouting the area, when suddenly, a steep drop caught him by surprise and he fell 10 feet injuring his legs severely, but not critically, along with other minor injuries.Nathan Wells was able to treat Javier's injuries.

    "Well, the good news is that it's not broken. The bad news is it's almost broken. You see, when you hit the floor, the bone compressed. Like when two tectonic plates push against each other, they form a mountain or hill. Same thing happening here." said Nathan with a sad expression on his face.

     "How long will it take to heal?" asked Contreras, anxiously. 
     "With some surgery and rest, about a week.Just be glad this isn't the Dark Ages!" 

     Both of them laughing, but Javier suddenly grabbing his leg in response to agonizing pain, then said" Please stop!" with a faint smile.
