A journey into the unknown. Again alone?

Continuation. The beginning read: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

Driven by disturbing thoughts, we walked, almost making rules, and in the evening we arrived to the edge of the forest.

To move on in the dark did not make sense, especially since we could run into hostile natives, so we put up a tent, grabbed a bite of fruit, which we have provided forest dwellers, and lay down to rest. To sleep we didn't want, despite the fatigue, because our anxiety grew as we approached the base.

We tried several times to contact her, but to no avail. In the head climbed all sorts of thoughts that I was scared to even voice.

In General, scroll down for without sleep most of the night, we fell asleep only toward morning, but nonetheless rose with the first rays of the sun.

Quickly gathered and a snack, we set off and by noon had reached the ship.

All the way we never saw a soul beside the ship, too, nobody was in sight.

We last meters, tired, almost ran.

Unfortunately, justified our worst fears. Hatch was opened, it was dark inside, of the crew members there was no one.

Signs of a struggle, however, was not. Could only guess about what happened here.

Include emergency lighting, Arthur went to the bridge and found the ships log.

The last entry in it was made two days ago. Arthur read aloud: "Communication with all groups disappeared. In the last message received from the commander, it was said that they were attacked by a large group of heavily armed men. I gave the SOS signal, but not sure that someone heard him. Went on a quest."

Yeah, well, the situation...

Honestly, we were in great confusion, not knowing what could have been done in this situation.

Arthur checked just in case the life support systems of the ship, tested the motors and other mechanisms. Everything was in order. This alarmed and disheartened.

After some discussion, we decided to follow journal the approximate route of all groups, develop a search plan.

But first, it was necessary to try to communicate with any ship, or at least to transmit a distress signal in the hope that it will intercept any of our cosmic friends will come to our aid.

To contact us, unfortunately, no one managed, so we sent a message with their coordinates, call sign and a brief statement of our problem. The next morning, after gathering the necessary items, weapons and ammunition, as well as the supply of food in the backpacks, we moved on.

We chose the route that left group led by our commander, rightly considering that it must be sought in the first place.

We quickly walked down the deserted road. Yet nothing had disturbed the peace of the early morning. After a while they began to fall, first a rare shrub with beautiful large flowers, and then there was a little tree, and with every kilometer they became more and more, and the trees got bigger, and here we entered the forest.

On the edge we made a small halt, rested for a while, checked the map again and drove off.

It began to grow dark, when the sky in the northeast suddenly lit up with bright lights and there was a loud rumbling.

We instinctively crouched down and hiding, waited what will happen next.

Gradually in the center of the lights seemed dark spot that was rapidly growing closer to the ground. The roar was incredible, so that laid the ears, and the radiance blinded the eye.

Suddenly all was quiet, came the silence is deafening...

We opened his eyes and saw that a few tens of meters in a forest glade in front of us towered the spaceship. The hatch opened, and from it descended armed to the teeth people...

To be continued...
