Chapter 128 Lennys Situation 8 (1/2)

Because Forge Umbra was an Apex, her senses were also extremely developed, worse only to almost all Florans and a few Avians.

Her ears caught the faint sound disappearing of those machines that normally no one would have been able to hear because of the usual noise of busy days in station and no one actually cared about it. But, now that there was complete silence in the laboratory, she heard the small noises disappearing out of nowhere.

As for why her expression changed, it's simple.

Life Support System...

Without oxygen, most people in the station will die. Only Novakids, Florans, Glitches and people with some kind of oxygen tanks would survive.

While Novakids also need oxygen, they can easily survive long periods of time without it, from hours to days, depends on the Novakid and it's age. Be it on outer space or underwater, they can survive in all harsh environment as long as it has some kind of inflammable gas. In underwater, Novakids can absorb small particles, even molecules, of these gas in the water.

Florans, on the other hand, normally live by breathing oxygen, but if they are deprived of the resource, their body immediately start to produce oxygen using carbon dioxide and water, present in their blood, to generate the energy necessary to keep them alive through the process of photosynthesis using the pigment, chlorophyll, that makes the Floran skin green. Because of the extended use of water in their body, higher than normal, they get weaker, a lot weaker, but this defense mechanism enable them to survive in harsh environments. While normally a Floran breath through their lungs, their skin doesn't stop their work as it keep recycling the dioxide carbon produced by the Floran, but the recycling is very low because the are no need, in a oxygen rich environment, only when thrown in a harsh environment that the body automatically reduce the usage of lungs and start giving the skin the work. This is one of the reasons, beside the cultural one, that Florans dislike using armors and full clothes.

The difference between Florans and Novakids, in this aspect, is the fact that the later could survive in outer space for hours without any device or protective suit, while Florans would die like all the other 5 sentient races, and penguins. As for underwater, Floran's skin also can absorb molecules of dioxide of carbon deep underwater, and even filter oxygen molecules present in water, making Florans also able to survive in such environment.

As for Glitches...they are robots...no need for breathing.

If the invaders really turned off the Life Support System, things were about to get very serious.

Forge walked up to the door and carefully opened a little to peek outside.

The corridors were dimly lit by the emergency light, but with her superior eyesight, she could see clearly the lifeless bodies lying in blood pools all around the floor.

It was a massacre that happened there.

Without any type of weapon, the scientist were slaughtered by the invaders after they dealt with the guards.

Forge could still hear the sound of screams and gunshots echoing in the empty corridor.

She felt a chill and had the urge to throw up once again, but she closed her mouth with her hand and forced it down.

She couldn't stay there, she had to leave as soon as possible for the escape pods that were about the in the middle section of the space station, in an equal distance from the furthest floors on each extreme of the station.
