Khell's claws flexed against the soft earth. The sensitive nerves running through his clawed toes and soles of his feet allowed him to gauge all sorts of information about the land. He could tell after the first few steps that he wasn't guaranteed secure footing in this area. One option was to try taking the ship to another location, but who was to say he wouldn't run into the same issue?

His eyes suddenly widened in alarm. The ship! Khell spun around only to see his vessel already sinking into the soft marsh. He ran back towards the open hatch and dove inside. At the helm's console, he tried desperately to get the thrusters activated, but a wet groaning sound told him the engines were already flooded with the muck threatening to swallow him. The room started getting dark and Khell realized the ship was more than halfway sunk into the marsh. He had no choice but to abandon his ship, or else get swallowed up by the planet.

Khell dashed through the marsh, making sure his feet only landed in the soggy earth one at a time and then leaping as far as he could. Finally, he came out of the grass and landed on hard dirt. The Zioruta paused, leaning forward as he tried catching his breath. Khell looked back, but there was no trace of his ship having ever been there.
