And finally, we stand on the surface of the planet, breathe its air, making the first steps...

Surprisingly, the force of attraction to it, despite the small size of the planet almost identical to earth, except for a little bit.

The air seemed fresh and slightly sweet, as if somewhere nearby came the flowering plants, but because of the fog visibility was limited.

Just in case we decided to stay all together, though each of us was a small camping radio, and the weapons and backpacks lay needed for emergency use, tools.

But it was our commander, and all agreed with him - you never know what we can expect here.

The first time we decided not to stray too far from the ship to return before sunset and plan routes, prepare research plans for the next few days.

Gradually the fog lifted and when we left the ship for a few miles, the clouds parted a little and because of them the sun came out.

Under its rays the surrounding situation has changed significantly. Became visible paint-basically, it was dark green grass, among which here and there were visible large flowers, mostly dark tones.

At some distance was visible the forest. He was drawn to the mountains, which were also covered with vegetation.

On the opposite side you could see the forest, there in his forest edges, were sparkling under the sun in the water in a winding river.

Making a rough sketch of the location and determining part of the world, we returned to the ship.

The next morning as soon as dawn broke, we went to explore. Arthur we went to the forest with the river.

It was assumed that the duration was to be two days, after which all had to return to the ship and share their experiences.

We took the tent, the food was enough for us, the walkie-talkie to contact the ship, the blasters, just in case. Suddenly we were attacked by wild animals...

Today there was no fog and we boldly marched on and soon were at the river.

Then we went slowly, carefully studying the area, trying not to miss anything.

Dry and warm weather. In the trees fluttering and sabetay wild birds, and then fly some insects...

Was this grace that we have unwittingly relaxed and lost vigilance, and for that nearly paid.

Deep in the woods suddenly there was a terrible Accident, and on our way with a fierce growl flew something huge and terrible.

We barely had time to step aside. We couldn't even consider this monster as it disappeared on the opposite side of the forest. For some time everything in the forest fell silent and hiding, as usually happens before a storm.

We are also just a few minutes stopped, sighed and checked the map. Until we went astray, clearly moving along the route.

After a few miles, we stopped. By this time in peace again reigned peace and quiet, but we could not afford it.

Resting, I made some sketches of birds and insects that had to be addressed during the campaign and stop. After a rest we were not at such a great distance when it became dark and we decided to settle for the night.

The night was relatively calm. Outside the tent there was only the quiet rustling, hissing, whistling, but we were tired so it didn't bother us.

The first morning did not foretell anything extraordinary. We bathed in the river, the water of which was warm, some affectionate, I even thought that we are on mother earth. Then ate Breakfast, drank hot coffee, brewed on the fire and moved on.

For a start, we decided to go a little further into the woods, and somewhere in the middle of the day to turn back to return to the ship at the appointed time.

Unfortunately, our plans did not materialize... After a few minutes we began to feel that someone is watching. It seemed that even the forest animals were silent, hiding somewhere in the bushes.

We didn't stop and, trying to remain calm, went on, until they came to a small clearing.

Staying in the middle of it, we decided to look around. Like, anything suspicious, we have not noticed, but some wariness around is still markedly felt.

Sitting on a tree stump, I made some sketches. You can go far back and it is here that we first heard a suspicious rustle, and then saw on the way, which came a few gorillapods creatures wielding spears and bows tuned very aggressively.
