Hello Perimeter Parents , I'm Going To Take You To Another Plain Of Existence , back .
To Check On The Good Mistake.
We Were Collapsing Space , Moving At Top Speed When My System Manager Tinn Yelled Out , we're Pushing A Wave In Front Of The Ship .
The Advance Scanners Must Have Not Detected Occupied Space ?
We've Got To Bring Her Out Of Hyper Velocity Slowly .
Or We Will Shatter Our Chrystal's , they Must Be Running At High Temperature , We've Probably Caused A Lot Of Damage?
Inn , I Called To My Helmsman , find Out Where We Will Stop , Then Scan For A Hospitable
Planet , we Might Have To Wait For Help ?
The Ship Started To Vibrate As We Quickly Slowed Down , we Had Too , The Wave Of ,
Probably A Gas ?
Would Have Become A Wall , If We Continued .
We Will Be Completely Stopped Shortly , Tinn Said , any Luck Iin ?
Yes , There Is A Young System With One Planet In Bio .
Check The Crystals , start The Vortex , take Us To This Planet , I Rattled Out In One Order .
The Crew Jumped To Perform The Tasks , Inn ? Take Us Towards The Bio Planet , And Scan It For
Known Unsuitable Environments.
Yes Sir .
We Had Little Choice , As Far As Our Survival , the Ship With The Damage Incurred Could Give Up Function Completely .
Do You Wish To Try Orbit Sir ?
No , Lets Use Up What We've Got To Approach Straight In , at Least We Can Free Ourselves From The Ship.
Or Die ? Inn Said.
Or Die I Repeated.
The Crystals Are Full Of Seams , They're Useless,we've Only Got Back Up Power, Maybe Enough To Get Us On The Planet ?
But We'll Be Stuck There Till Help Reaches Us , Tin Reported .
Alright Everyone Strap Into Your Survival Pods , set Them Upright And Transfer Controls Over To Them , we'll Be Going Into Atmosphere Shortly.
I Could Feel The Effects Of Gravity , And With It The Sensation Of Falling , our Craft Was Not Made For Atmospheric Flight , So We Sliced At The Mercy Of It's Reaction And Entered At High Velocity Keeping A Steep Angle Of Descent.
We Are Heading For Water Sir , land Not To Far Off .
Hopefully We'll Slice Into The Water .
With That , We Plunged Into The Sea Lodging Ourselves Under A Sunken Overhanging Cliff.
Integrity , I Asked ?
Leaping Out Of My Pod , Tin Reported , ship Sane , but We're Stuck Under this Overhang .
We All Fell Silent , send A Distress Report To All Channels , include All Ships Final Activities , hopefully There Is Someone Nearby?
There Was Nothing We Could Do.
We Sat Quietly , all Pondering For Solutions.
Tin I Asked ?
Yes Sir ?
How Much Breathable Air Time Do We Have?
Well Sir , if We Make Contact Shortly We Could Survive , the Air Is Only Being Filtered Now , not Generated , so ?
So ? How Deep Are We ?
Could We Make It To The Surface ?
Actually Were Not That Deep Sir , we Could Make It If We Had Too .
How Many Spans Would That Be ?
Ten Maybe ?
I Didn't Have Much Time To Advance Scan , not At That Speed .
Well , I've Got To Lead , I'll Go First . Operate The Air Lock , and I'll Stay In Communications From Above.
I Hadn't Actually Swam Since The Academy , So Holding My Breathe I Slowly Climbed Up To The Surface , land Was Visible But Far Off .
My Suit Being Body Tight , Didn't Interfere With My Slow Swimming Progress , suddenly I Felt A Bump From Below Me ?
Then An Actual Lifting And Dragging , By Something Bellow Me , with That I Heard A Cackle
From Behind Me ?
And A Push From Two Different Aquatic Species , the Speed Was Incredible , And I Was At Standing Level In Quick Time .
Looking Behind Me , I Saw Two ,What Looked Like Air Breathing Aquatic Entities ?
And They Were Smiling And Cackling , All The While Nodding Their Heads Up And Down .
I Thanked Them.
Told Them I Had Nothing To Offer , as They Cackled And Circled Me , I Reached Out To Pet One .
When A Stone Hit My Hand ?
They Both Submerged , As Another Stone Hit My Shoulder ?
I Turned Towards Shore , there Was A Camp Of Hominids Shrieking And Pointing At Me , they
Looked To Be A Lower Species?
All Hair And Using Hands And Feet To Move About.
They Were Throwing More Stones , Most Were Missing Me , But I Had To Gain Respect , so I Took My Photon Compression Emitter , And Fired A Blast At Their Camp Blaze , flames Shot Into The Air And Blew The Fire Out , Sending Everything Into Darkness .
I Slowly Headed For Shore , Certain That I Wouldn't Have Any Problems Now?
Tinn Over ?
Loud And Clear Sir , you Make Quick Friends ?
Those Sea Creatures Helping me Out , you Didn't See Them Coming Tinn ?
Sir As You Were Ascending They Raced From The Depths , they Have A Natural Sonar Capability And Are Air Breathing Creatures .
Alright Whats The Scenario ?
Well Sir , It's Mixed , the Males Are All On The Hillock To Your Right .
And Are Fighting Amongst Themselves .
What Does Tactics Report On This Behavior ?
Already Accessed Sir , amongst Life Forms At This Level It Denotes Preparation For Battle .
As We Speak A Small Party Is Descending Towards You.
Suggestions , Tinn?
If You Look Directly In Front Of You You Will See A Large Tree , destroy It As A Show Of Power.
What ? And Destroy A Perfectly Good Tree ?
Alright Better Yet , to The Left Of That Tree Two Dead Ones Back To Back , fire At Will Sir , no Bios Emissions From Them .
I Raised My Arm And Fired A Packet At The First Deadfall , it Broke And Flamed Crashing Down , I Then Slowed My Emitter And Fired At The Second , It Exploded Into Flame.
Good Work Captain , all Males Are Scrambling Deeper Into The Forest.
Where Are The Females ?
They Are All Laying Low To Your Right , at The Edge Of The Forest , probably Watching Or Concerned ?
Concerned Of What?
Well Sir , If You Turn To Your Left Not Far Off , You Will See Two Entities , One Standing With What Looks Like A Sharp Pole , and One Sitting , both Holding Each Other.
I Slowly Turned , as My Suit Lights Fell Upon Them ,Surprise , Was My Reaction ?
Are You Getting This Tinn ?
Yes Sir , All Recorded.
What Do You See ?
Looks Like Two Different Species One Protecting The Other ,Why Did They Not Run Like The Rest ?
The Sitting Female Which Is Like The Species Common Here Is , full Of Large Tumors , incurable .
And In Great Pain , a Stone Hanging From Her Neck Is Emitting Radical Unstable Emissions , this Could Account For The Tumors?
And The Lone Male That Protects Her ?
Could Be A Mistake Caused By The Stone Emissions?
He Is The Only One On This Land Mass , I Can't Scan The Entire Planet From Here .
Hold It ?
There Are Similar Embryonic Development In Some Of The Females At The Edge Of The Forest , he Has Mated . all Embryos Different In Subtle Ways Such As Colour Of Skin And Hair.
They Will Never Know They Are Brothers And Sisters I Said ?
No Sir.
I Began Moving Towards Them , Sir The Stick Can't Penetrate Your Suit , But A Blow To The Head Could Be Fatal ,I Suggest Backing Off , protocol Suggests?
Hang Protocol Tinn !
We Are Out Here To Learn , and This Looks Like A Lesson .
Yes Sir.
I Slowly Approached The Pair , the Female , either From Fear , or Pain , Kept Her Head Lowered.
What We Assumed Had To Be Her Relation , Shook , With The Stick Ready To Strike .
I Raised My Hand And Offered It To Him , he With Apprehension Slowly Reached Out And Grasped It .
I Smiled , he Returned It ,Then Placed His Hands , And Attention On His Mothers Shoulders.
I Reached Down Placing My Finger Under Her Chin , And Slowly Raised Her Head .
Her Deep Dark Eye's Squinted At Me , And I Was Moved By Her Suffering .
Tinn ?
I Hailed.
Yes Sir , he Said Softly .
What Are Her Options?
None Sir , he Replied .
Your Med Kit Sir?
Yes Tinn?
Well , you Have The Full Crew Version , two Ampules Of Dormia Will Do It.
I Winced At The Thought , But Inhaled Deeply As I Loaded The Injector.
I Lowered Myself And Put My Arms Under her , And Slowly I Lifted Her .
As She Reached Standing She Again Looked Up At Me .
Her Eye's Deep Black Pools Of Need , a Need That Spanned All Species And Conditions .
I Then Injected Her , as The Dormia Took Effect She Slowly Transformed Facially.
She Looked Relieved , happier , and Thankful , All At The Same Time.
Then She Slowly Slipped Away , closing Her Eye's And Clinging To Me.
A Feeling Of Urgency Came Over Me?
I Looked At The Boy And As Our Eye's Met , I Seemed To Have Blinked Off For A Moment , to Return To Tinn's Voice Asking .
What Was That All About Sir ?
What Are You Asking Me Tinn ?
You And The Boy Both Yelled Out .
I Did ? I asked Confused?
Yes Sir , I'll Bring Up The Audio , you Weren't Preempted By The Boy Either , it Was Simultaneous .
I Then Heard The Record Of A Cross Between A Howl And A Yell ?
I Slowly Lowered The Body Towards The Boy And We Both Lowered Her Gently To The Sand .
Waves Of Emotion Were Coursing Through Me , And Both Of Us Sat On The Rock Beside Her , tears Were Coming From Our Eye's .
Are You All Right Sir ? Tinn Asked ?
In Wonder.
Your To Young Tinn , To Know.
Yes Sir , Your From The First Generation To Use The Rebuilt Anti Aging Genetics , I Remember You Saying About Your Monitors Not Even Being In Colour .
Yes This Is My Last Season , I Will Now Slowly Follow This Great Mother To Ya .
I Don't Believe Sir.
I Know , I Said.
I'll Be Here You Keep Working On Solutions.
I've Just Made Contact Sir , you Will Love This ?
It's Rite From Way Back , I'm Connected Through Google , they Must Have A Spacial Cell Close By ?
Alright I'll Be Right Here .
I Said , as I Sniffed My Tears Up My Nose .
O.k. Sir.over.
The Force Looked And Saw A Lesson In Something Intangible Had Been Added To The Pot Of Progression . And Two Assemblies Had Learned Today , all Was Going As Planned.
