Xie Jade
Shaymin Gijinka
Vault 110

Heat beat down on Xie's back, sweat dribbling down the sides of her face. She had never sweat this much during training. It couldn't be healthy. She would have to find a water source and soon. Xie frowned as she recalled the rule of threes in her mind. Three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water, and three weeks without food. Xie mentally shamed herself for not keeping track of how much time had passed from her awakening to now. Then again, what could she have used? Despite all her training, Xie did not have a baseline time to go by and for all she knew the sun moved differently than it used to. Xie had no truly reliant source of time progression. On top of that, with the amount Xie was sweating, three days seemed like stretching it in her case. If Xie had to guess, she had maybe a day and a half at this rate. Xie squinted as the image of abandoned ruins shimmered in the distance. Xie would just have to hope that was not a mirage and she was actually headed towards civilization.

Beyond her encounter with the bizarre chameleon creature, Xie had yet to encounter any actual life forms. Xie did not really want to encounter any more of whatever that thing was, but another gijinka would be nice. Maybe then she could figure out what had happened in the time that had transpired while Xie had been training and then frozen. Better yet, maybe Xie could locate some supplies to help her survive. She could not judge the distance by sight, but she had not seemed to draw any closer to her destination in the time she had been walking. Xie began to scan the horizon again when she spotted what appeared to be a person in the distance.

"Hey!" Xie called out to them. She began to pick up the pace to catch up to them when her legs gave out and Xie collapsed in the sand. Her body suddenly felt like it had several weights on it and Xie quickly realized why. Her cryogenic procedure! Her body was still recovering the effects. Most of the time it took hours to days to recover and Xie was already pushing herself to her limits. Her body could not keep up in these conditions.

((I'll let you guys decide who she called out to.))
