Some sort of space junk pinged off the hull of the ship, echoing
|
||
dully from every direction. 3 minutes. The sensors still weren't
|
||
picking up any signals, but the monitors automatically displayed
|
||
its normal analysis.

2 minutes. We were about to break through the atmosphere near the
|
||
dark side of the planet, couldn't tell more than that- there was
|
||
nothing to see beyond the nearly purple clouds, locked in perpetual
|
||
dusk. We harnessed ourselves in the central chamber per protocol.
|
||
As the ship began to tremble, the walls around us turned black and
|
||
iridescent. Suddenly, in the center of the room stood the small
|
||
gilded box, it's black orbs reflecting rainbows across our faces.
|
||
|
||
1 minute. The pressure on our bodies falls as the ship's thrusters
|
||
reach equilibrium. This part always reminded me of the playground;
|
||
spinning on that wheel with the world a blur then dragging your
|
||
feet in the dirt waiting to be able to let go.
|
||
|
||
"uuUUU-just-eeeeeeeeee-ng ooooutpuut freeeequenciessss. Assessment
|
||
Complete. Please do not be alarmed. We kindly welcome The Revenent
|
||
to Nalmyke. We will be landing momentarily." a voice warbled from
|
||
the center of the room. "We are curious about the dimensional
|
||
qualities of this ship and its crew. Please allow us to honor you
|
||
as guests of our society. May we converse pleasantly." a tiny
|
||
figure grew out of the box, like a mountainous jello mold, and
|
||
bowed at us. 30 seconds.
|
||
|

"Docking procedure initiated"
