## The Inscite Intelligentes

By Nathan Narvaez

Eons ago, Around the arrival date of a new species on Gliese 581c, Annus Novus 0, Novusdies. New creatures arrived on this planet, our planet, it seemed like they were searching for something. What were they looking for? Who knows. They began to spread like a disease, everywhere. They brought items with them too. They brought some sort of liquid, water maybe, and food, I think, I don’t know what it was for sure, well I do now but at this time in the story I didn’t, so we’ll skip it for now, continuing. I had never seen it before, it was small, brownish but there were more, different types, some bigger they were red or pink with more texture. Others came in many different colors and shapes, they did look like some of the fruit on this planet but it wasn’t something I’ve seen before. They brought with them objects I had never imagined. It was like a dream. Sooner or later I learned what it was, but I will get to that later.

They spread all over the place, I couldn’t keep an eye on them all. They came in all shapes, sizes, colors. I did not understand, it was amazing. I had never seen anything like these animals. After they landed on a shiny object, I think it was metal, maybe aluminum, it simulated a torpedo, they started to split into groups. Oh yeah, they landed on some silver animal that flew. I don't know what animal it is, but since they’ve landed it hasn't moved. I wonder what happened to it, maybe it died from the impact.

Anyways, back to what I was saying, they separated into 4 groups and split West, East, South, and North. The group that went North found themselves gazing into the endless lake, Lacus Vitae Magna. The group that went West was able to witness the beautiful rays of sunlight shining through the prodigious mountains. The mountains they saw had lots of life crawling on them, trees left and right, plants, and a river flowing down the mountain. They also came across harsher winds than where they landed, it looked like they were having a hard time dealing with that, but they made it there and back in one piece, mostly. The group that went South encountered the Interiorem Silvam, a forest filled with trees and trees as far as you can see. This forest was massive and they seemed like they were amazed. I don’t know what it was but I could just tell they were amazed and confused. The group that went East found the Fluit Vita river that flows into the North lake, Lacus Vitae Magna. Lastly, the group that stayed where their metal creature landed, started building some sort of home or nest.

It looked like a clear thin shell, but it was huge, I couldn’t really depict what it was made of. They worked quite fast, I was impressed with the speed at which they started building. After 6 days (a week, does not include the weekend), the groups who had split up, all met back at the spot they had left from. By the time the explorers came back the builders had built 3 of the dome nests, whatever they are called, I’ll just call them domes. The 3 domes were huge, I could not believe my eyes, these domes were all about 200, no 250 meters in diameter. However, the dome was clear so I could see everything they did. These domes had a variety of different items inside them. Some had plants, these plants grew over time so I’m assuming they were cultivating all these plants in these domes. Others had living spaces, it seemed like these creatures would rest, eat, and socialize in these domes. Some had devices, not like anything I’ve seen, not that I have seen much. In the end I learned a lot about them, maybe too much.
