A-hew. The sound came from Solara's lips as her green body shivered in the darkness of the night. It was cold, freezing actually, and despite the color of her skin she wasn't meant to live in these conditions. Clink, clink, clink. She jumped at the sound and immediately searched for its source before she found it. The sound came from above her and traveled down the wall of garbage that she had taken shelter in. It was a soda can. The thought made her uneasy but perhaps the wind had pushed it, or perhaps someone had thrown it. The suspense was killing her and eventually Solara reached and lifted the can of the ground smiling when it didn't explode which she thought about several times already. She had seen many traps on her way here, but only elaborate enough to capture a primitive non-intelligent creature. 

 The can was remarkably heavy and when she shook it she could hear swishing in the inside which made her smile grow wider. "A gift from our goddess" her words came out soft and pleasant compared to what followed when she opened the can of pop. Solara pulled the can to her green plump lips and gulped down its contents with no elegance or patience, thinking only of how the drink had managed to be pushed by winds that were barely blowing. Based on the can's weight, shape and size, the current breeze was impossible to knock the down. It then occurred that something else was in the dark with her. But who, or rather what? In this environment her black spacesuit and green complexion provided her with much needed camouflage at night. She took a deep breath and allowed silence to become her as Solara listened beyond the winds influence. 

Her heart sunk when she heard the first of six footsteps. They were close, extremely close, possibly alerted by her sneeze or maybe opening the can of pop wasn't the smartest idea. The footsteps stopped right in front of her but it was not quite what Solara was expecting. It was not the soldiers of the ship she had boarded, nor three living organisms before her. It was one. It had a rather large abdomen with large wings that covered its back fully. While appearing of an insect nature, it had a long tail that was armed with several rows of pincers. The skin on it appeared to be covered in holes but upon closer observation she realized that it had merely shrouded itself in the bones of other creatures. Its eyes were too black in color to see in the night but peering into its thought she could see herself from fourteen different angles, but it still didn't realize she was alive. 

 Her hear was beating frantically which she had thought was giving her away but the beast could not hear it. Solara's fingers dug silently into the garbage as she attempted to hold her breath even longer without exhaling, she was definitely beating her record. The insect turned its body and then started to scurry away before it heard a breathing behind it. Solara was no the champion in holding her despite her amphibian father, and it showed. She screamed when the beast dropped its tail down in an attempt to capture her, but to no avail. She managed to avoid it by leaping to the right and getting to her feet, ready to sprint. Then she let out another skin when she felt intense pressure on her left side as she was knocked off her feet. 

Several cuts opened in her space suit as she flew several feet further to the right before crashing into a pile of garbage that cushioned her landing. "What is that thing?" she asked herself as she could hear the beast scurrying towards her but instead of getting up and running she grabbed a car and tossed it as far a she could. The Mega Carcapus stopped in its tracks and headed in the opposite direction. Solara had definitely gotten off easy, mega carcapus typically traveled in packs at night.
