Thread: Eden....or is it?  (Lounger x Moon)

Alex nodded. i hope your right. she admitted, examining the three different species. we are friendly though. she stated with a smile as she watched a Chatat curiously as it sniffed at her and sneezed. i don't think they like my body wash. she admitted with a chuckle. the sound startling the creatures before they too started to laugh and clap, delighted by similar noises. it's amazing! look at those structures! she whispered, clearly in awe of such an advanced race. and yet, they lived so simply. it looks like there's unknown elements in all of the people here, and the plants and in the earth too. that's probobly what's so confusing. she mused. i wonder what their body temperatures indicate? she mused. are the Nagis cold blooded do you think? she mused. i wish we'd brought our lab bags with us, i could run temp scans... she mused as she looked around. but even our genetic traces are shared by everything on the planet... gell we share fifty percent of out DNA with a banana! she pointed out, laughing, which caused a rush of echoing laughter and glee from the species around them. they looked excited that Alexandria seamed to enjoy their little city. is your scanner still taking readings? she asked curiously. i think they want to show us this. she admitted as she pulled a camera out of her pocket. she never went anywhere without one. the entire species leaned forward, and then scattered as she raised it to her face and took the picture, the click, FLASH, and whirr of the camera startled them. most of them where back before a second had even passed and she smiled a little and held the Camera out so they could examine it. i figure, if they get used to our technology a little, they won't be so scared of the Thermo sensors and genetic mapping consoles and stuff. she admitted to him. don't take out your scanner yet, we only have a few of those. i have half a dozen cameras if they break this one. she admitted, watching the groups of species examining the Camera, each ont taking a turn to lick, sniff, and feel the camera. ...that Wolf like guy just slobbered all over my camera. she groaned, watching one of the younger Chatat's stuff the camera in his mouth to see if it was food. lovely... well, they must have some form of written language. we could use pictures to explain for now. she mused as she was handed back her... rather filthy camera. it had been slobbered on, dropped, and poked and prodded. she wrinkled her nose and picked it up by the strap with as few fingers as she could manage, and a ripple of laughter swept through the clan as they watched her. oh that is nasty... she groaned with a sigh. thank god this thing is waterproof... she muttered i don't think they could possibly have always lived together like this, all creatures fear what's different, even a Dog. she pointed out. i think we just entered at a stage in their history where they've worked through their differences. i wonder how old this planet is, and the life on it? earth is only about 4.5 billion years old... humans are only about thirty five thousand years old. it could be that these people, and their planet, are much, much older. after all, earth was a relatively young planet. there where some planets that where a hundred times older. she moved over to a puddle and washed her camera off and pulled out a cloth and dried it off with a towelette from her other pocket. i can't beleive it! look at us! we're making contact with sentient life! we're going to be remember through history for the rest of eternity!!! she gasped, jumping up and down. kids in school are going to learn about us! she admitted looking so excited she might burst before pausing as a motion rippled through the Clan and everyone backed away from the pair, revealing the Clan Leaders. the Satellite had gotten a lot of pictures of this behavior. each city or village was 'ruled' by three specific individuals. one from each species. each Clan leader, made and upheld the rules, decided what the punishment would be to rule breakers, where and if they would build a new house, where they would plant their new crops, and they would run the ceremonies that seamed to happen four times a year at the start of a new season. they where so specialized, that they trained their own successors, but they never chose one of their own species to train, as if to prevent them from favoring a specific person, like a son or a daughter or even their own race. the three where old, and where trailed by their younger protegee, who where watching the proceedings with fascination. the humans where studied quite intently before the Nagis Clan leader turned to the crowd and nodded. causing cheers to well up. they where excited by something about the humans, but what?
