Carol Mayer and the other members of the Nebraska crew stepped down off the ships landing ramp and stared in amazement. The planet was not very different from earth. The air tasted different and there were different sounds in the lush vegetation but the trees and soil were familiar enough to them. What was not familiar was the large structure directly in front of them. It seemed to be made of several circular structures connected with thick cables. What was most amazing was the fact that it gave off a bright blue glow. Mayer could feel the energy emanating from the structure. It felt like standing too close to a heat source and she could feel her skin begin to tingle. One of the scientists assigned to her crew whispered " It's an energy device of some sort. It almost looks as though it runs on Nexium" Mayer shushed the scientist as she saw a group of people approach them. People was the correct word. Other than being slightly taller and more muscular then most of her crew they WERE people. She was amazed and slightly amused that they were humanoid. She chuckled to herself over the flap THAT would cause in the scientific community back on Earth. One of the tall humanoids approached her. "You are the commander of this vessel?" His voice was deep and raspy. She nodded and then realized that he might not understand what that meant. "Yes" she said trying in vain to calm her racing heart. The humanoid looked down at her for a moment and then gestured. " We should go inside it is unsafe to be exposed to the energy source for too long" Mayer nodded again cursing herself at the gesture and asked" What kind of energy does this device create?" The tall humanoid looked at her with what Mayer assumed was confusion. "Create?" he asked. "The device as you call it does not create energy it merely contains it for our needs.Mayer took a deep breath and followed the humanoid into a circular building thinking to herself "Steady now girl you didn't bring any whiskey and god knows what they drink on this planet" She was sure that whatever she discovered here would be far beyond her wildest imagination....
I worked some more on this tonight. I added a few buildings and some vegetation. I'm really liking the way is turning out so far. As always feedback is welcome
