The Visitor
|
||
|
||
Spacecraft to base...
|
||
I send you this message although I know that you shall not receive it for
|
||
2000 years. I have returned to Sol 3 and I have found the conditions that
|
||
we expected to find. my report and data follows....
|
||
|
||
On the day of my arrival I observed that the planet's atmosphere had
|
||
changed drastically. It had become polluted and radioactive.
|
||
On the second day I sent a probe down to the eastern section.
|
||
the probe showed me video of nothing but dead bodies all around.
|
||
On the third day I took the ship down to what had been a major city, I found
|
||
no life of any kind there at all.
|
||
On the fourth day I landed in the western section where I found one of the
|
||
natives of this poor world. I was surprised that he did not fear me.
|
||
The only thing he said was:'this in my country commie,get out!!' Then he died.
|
||
On the fifth day I had to stay in orbit and de-radiate my self.
|
||
On the sixth day I landed in one of the few non radioactive areas on the
|
||
planet.What a change! There was plant life blooming and animal life around.
|
||
It was here that I met more natives, but this time they were very friendly!
|
||
Useing my computer as a translator we talked:
|
||
There were only a few of them left I found out. They were all dieing of
|
||
radiation sickness. It seem that although this section of Sol 3 was some what
|
||
free of radiation there was still enough of it around to kill them.
|
||
One of them asked me if I could take them with me when I left here.
|
||
I told them that this was unusual for me to do,but that if they would help me
|
||
gather data on this planet then I could take one male and one female child
|
||
with me,so that their race could continue anew someplace else.
|
||
They agreed....
|
||
On the seventh day I had filled the data banks full of information about this
|
||
planet and it's two atomic wars.
|
||
It was time for me to leave,so I gathered the two Children that had been
|
||
selected and I took off...
|
||
|
||
So this concludes my report. The children are in hibernation and I am in
|
||
transit to Xignis X6 to drop the two young colonists.
