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

Renet Sarson, or Ren for short, was the Pilot for humanity's first manned flight to a possibly habitable world. After years of searching with Hyperspace probes, a potentially habitable world had finally been found rather than the endless dead rocks and gas giants that every system seemed to be filled with. Finally now though, he and one other crew member, the ships Navigator, were emerging from Hyperspace a safe distance from the planet. Both of them had been trained scientifically, and they had been chosen from thousands of candidates for this mission. Only two people had been selected in order to minimise the risks involved, and to keep the already risky mission from being too expensive since only a small ship and relatively few supplies would be needed.

The ship rocked gently as they got closer, Ren adjusting a few of the controls to compensate. The atmosphere of the planet extended further from the surface than expected, it seemed the moon was literally skimming the atmosphere in places due to how far it reached. Still, it was these remarkable little differences that brought them out here. "Ok....we're beginning our descent. Scanners have identified a suitable landing point...good terrain, clear weather.....atmosphere readings show....good. A little more oxygen than we're used to so there might be a little light headedness until we get used to it..." The two of them had been given injections that would help their bodies adapt to the new planet quickly, letting their lungs process the slightly different atmosphere without much difficulty.

The small ship slid through the sky effortlessly, Ren's exceptional piloting skills guiding them around the turbulence and clouds. "Hm...the clouds are rather more dense than expected...they contain some gasses the scanner can't identify either, best to avoid them for now until we can set up the lab and get some samples" Fortunately the skies were relatively clear on their descent path, the ship slowing as they got closer to the ground, a vast field of bright electric blue grass beneath them as they came in for the final landing, a gentle bump as they finally touched down, Ren grinning with pride at his skills. "Well then.....time to explore!" Despite being 24 years old, Renet felt as excited as a child at Christmas as he unbuckled his harness, heading for the airlock and running one last check on the atmosphere, before tapping the open button, the door sliding down and the stairway extending, only just fast enough for Ren to rush down, then step onto the grass, arms stretched into the air as he took a deep breath. "Incredible...I'm actually standing on an alien world...."

Alexandria Barton was more than just a navigator, she was a scientist, and a genius, so some people claimed. she didn't see the genius part herself, she'd just worked three times harder than everyone else. she had beaten the odds and had been the one chosen to go on the Eden missive, not only because of her brains, but because of her stellar physical capabilities as well. just like her partner had been. both where highly intelligent, very fit, kept their heads in a crises... and they where both very, very excited to be there. not only where they the first to set foot on another planet, but they where the first to field test the 'hyper hole' system. which basically made a wormhole that they traveled through to go from point a, to point B in a matter of minutes, no matter how far away. it was like taking a shortcut. it have been exhaustingly terrifying once they'd kicked it on, Alex had half expected it to explode. as Ren drove, Alexandria had failed that little test. she couldn't drive a ship worth a damn, she was taking detailed measurements of the planet's life forms, and possible edible matter. "it's amazing how much the atmosphere here is like our own. a little less carbon dioxide, though that could easily be because of all the plants here. over two thirds of the planet is covered in greenery, even over where there's supposed to be ocean." she admitted, showing him the planet scans that the satellite had taken months upon months ago. as soon as they'd come out of 'hyper-space' the Satellite had been transferring it's Data over to them, giving them a heads up on what to expect.

"they appear to be made of something a little more dense than normal water." she admitted as she examined the clouds. "oh for goodness sake! Ren! you're ignoring the protocol!" Alex complained as he just popped the door open and hopped out. "what if there was some massive beast waiting to eat you!?" she demanded, smacking him upside the head as she picked up her clear Tablet and started looking through the files upon files of stuff. "this is just amazing Ren! look!" she ordered, holding the machine in front of his face showing heaps of chemical analysis. "aside from a few unknown chemicals and elements, this planet is perfectly capable of sustaining us if we can figure out which plants are alright to eat and which animals won't kill us." she admitted with a grin, her eyes sparkling. "look, Titan IV even got pictures of the locals!" she admitted, flipping through the pictures of one of the bigger 'cities' that they had landed close to. "oh my..." she muttered, looking more than a little stunned. it appeared that there where thousands of creatures on the planet, but there where three separate species which where 'top of the food chain' and human in their intelligence.

there where the Nagim. large creatures that looked mostly human save for the various 'head gear' that where horns, and the long serpent like bodies from the waist down. then where the Chatat's. mostly feline with a few canine, they too had horns, and animal like tails and markings. then where the Wofkins, they looked like a mix of bird, human, wolf, and unicorn. "amazing. look at the diversity here..." she breathed, more than a little stunned. "can you imagine the genetic evolution it must have been to form three separate intelligent life forms? some of the less intelligent creatures are humanoid too, the three main ones seam to keep them as pets..." she admitted, still flipping through pictures that Titan IV had taken. "look, here's the chemical composition of the clouds. it appears to be made up of Water, Glycerine, and an unknown chemical." she admitted, her head tilted. "hmm..." she mused, shaking her head. "come on, let's set up camp here for now until we can decide how to safely approach the natives." she demanded, heading back to the ship so she could get the tents. she should have known that the Natives where already very aware of their presence. after all, they where smart enough to know what a meteor looks like, and since there was nothing but birds in the sky, their landing was most certainly not something to be ignored. they where already being watched.

Ren just grinned when Alexandria slapped him across the head. Yes he had ignored protocol but...well...he couldn't help himself. Besides, they were fine. "Hm...you get at me and now here you are getting all excited" He folded his arms and smirked slightly, then looked over as she brought the tablet to him, blinking as they flipped through the data. "Whoa....incredible. They must have evolved on separate continents at some point before coming together like this.....or perhaps some kind of ancestral cross breeding....maybe some of the distinct species were somehow able to inter-breed and eventually give rise to three particular hybrid forms...maybe when we learn to communicate we can ask them...or at least ask for genetic samples. Maybe by comparing them we can find some kind of common ancestry...." Ren was already excited at the prospect of learning more about these creatures. They had no reason to believe the natives would be hostile, there hadn't been any evidence of fighting whilst their satellite had been observing the planet. "Though we need to be careful....their level of technology seems quite primitive.....probably equivalent to late middle-ages Earth by the looks of things. No signs of industrialisation or mechanisation..." Whether that was a good or bad thing remained to be seen.

"Camp, gotcha. No way I'm sleeping in that ship when we can sleep outside here" He grinned, turning to head back inside in order to start bringing out their gear. Ren was so excited he didn't even notice they were being watched, he hadn't even checked his hand scanner to run a survey of the local area yet. He just started to unload their camping gear, individual tents, sleeping equipment, a mobile field lab, a food synthesiser for use until they found something edible, everything they needed to survive for a long time. And if they ran out of supplies, they could easily hop back in the ship to head home and make a report.
"Ok...all unloaded" Ren placed his hands on his hips and nodded to himself, then pulled out his scanner, booting it up. "Now....let's run a survey on the local area. Satellite scans didn't show anything, but always best to check for geological instability and any dangerous underground lifeforms"

she grinned at him. "yes well, when you didn't die i figured it was safe enough." she mused with a chuckle as she shook her head. "i know right?!" she asked with a smile. "there must be a reason for it, but are they advanced enough to understand about DNA?" she asked curiously. "if they don't have machines..." she muttered, curious about what was happening on this planet. it nearly went against everything they knew about life on earth. but then, this wasn't earth. "i wish we could talk to them now, i'm so excited i almost can't stand it!" she admitted with a grin. "i don't think i'd even say Late middle ages. they don't seam to have many weapons either. they have tools, like blades and the like, but they seam to rely more on what they have on their bodies to fight, if they ever have to." she admitted, examining a picture where a small group of Nagim where cutting open some sort of equine like animal. no doubt in preparation for cooking. in terms of working together, these creatures where much more advanced than humans where. the three different species inter-worked so well that there was almost never fights. everything was shared and if one was hurt, then the others took care of them. the elderly where relished, the children loved... and punishment was swift, but fair. there was very little crime, and they worked perfectly together with their ecosystem. making new 'houses' only when they had to, and never cutting down a live tree to do it.

"you do that and i'll start setting up the lab. i don't want to set up the tents until i'm sure we're safe here." she admitted as she started unfolded the tables and started setting up the microscopes and other such scientific items. "i'll get Lunch started too." she promised with a chuckle, most of what they had was space food, freeze dried meals, which weighed much less than canned, jarred or packaged foods. she added water, and set it over a Bunsen burner to cook. it was supposed to be chicken soup, she was reserving her judgment until she actually tasted it. if it was nasty, then she was going to start testing the fruit in that tree over there immidiatly... actually... "hey! watch my back, i wanna go and collect those fruit over there." she informed him as she walked over to a massive sixty foot tree that looked like a palm tree, only it was electric blue and had massive bundles of berries that hung down on vines much like a weeping willow. she wasn't about to climb up that tree on her own though, who knew what was making that bark, which looked more like leathery skin, blue. she settled the ladder against the trunk and scaled it up to the top where she picked three berries, each the size of a golf ball, and slid back down the ladder to examine them.

"do you see anything?" she asked, looking over at Ren, who was indeed seeing something. one of the braver Nagim had slid out of the trees and landed directly in front of him, rising up on his massive red tail and simply staring at Ren with calm, blood red eyes, it's head cocked to the side curiously. "...oh my..." Alex muttered, more than a little shocked as she dropped the berries and wondered if she should go for her gun. the natives where very dangerous, even without weapons. they had claws, fangs, muscles so strong they could crush the humans with little effort. "oh!" she gasped, hands flying to her mouth as one of the wofkins stepped into view, this one jet black save for it's creamy human parts. it was looking with open curiosity at the human woman it now had pinned against the electric blue tree. "i... i am Alexandria..." she greeted, touching her chest. "Alexandria..." the Wofkins just blinked at her and turned and chattered at the others that had appeared, making a motion towards Alexandria, as if asking them if any of them knew what in the world she was and what she might be doing there. the Wofkins leaned forward and sniffed at Alex with a delicate human nose and sneezed and wrinkled it's nose. it appeared to be a female, but then, all the Wofkins had some sort of breast. the Nagim chattered something back and reached out, gently touching Ren's hair, examining it's texture and color with open curiosity. well at least they weren't being attacked...

"Hm? Oh....yeah lunch sounds good" Ren nodded slightly, too distracted by his scanner to be paying too much attention to what Alexandria was saying. The readings were erratic...he was having to make adjustments for the strange atmosphere....and the amount of unknown compounds. Gases in the atmosphere, minerals in the soil...almost everything he scanned had something he couldn't identify. Sure it wasn't surprising given that they were on another planet with an entirely different ecosystem, but even so the number of new discoveries was amazing. The periodic table was getting bigger by the second with every scan he took. Though all that did was make Ren even more excited with every passing second...he was being the first human to discover all kinds of things with this little scanner...and soon he and Alexandria would be identifying things...perhaps even giving them names....maybe he could call something Renetium....ok it sounded kinda stupid when he thought about it but still.

Though just as Ren was about to start scanning something else, the scanner went crazy, suddenly bringing up a motion detector and showing something come at him quickly....and by the time Ren looked up it was right infront of him...one of the larger and more imposing species on the planet, right infront of him and rising up slowly on that tail, towering over him. ".....Oh dear.....um...hello....?" Ren laughed nervously, though kept his feet planted firmly to the ground. Panicking would do no good....it could be seen as hostile....and trying to run away would do no good...from what he understood virtually every species on this planet, sentient or otherwise, could outrun even a human Olympic athlete with relative ease. He swallowed nervously as the creature reached out towards him, then felt slightly relieved when it just felt his hair....Ren silently thankful that he had washed and conditioned it just before they had left only hours earlier.

"Hello there.....my name is....Ren" He pointed to himself as he said his name, then managed a slight smile. Despite this creatures extremely intimidating appearance, it seemed more curious than anything else. The creatures certainly hadn't made any hostile movements so far, and Ren wasn't about to be the hostile one and start some kind of interplanetary incident. All he could do was stand there, carefully tucking the scanner back away in his pocket and letting the creature examine him.

she snorted a little as she realized he wasn't paying any attention at all. not that she could blame him. she couldn't wait to take samples of everything and start genetically mapping everything. she couldn't imagine what those plants where made of, what they might taste like, what they might smell like, the creatures that must live in them and amidst them. the LIFE on this planet was simply beyond belief! the bgs, the rodents, the birds... it was like heaven! a true Eden. she was frozen solid when she realized that they where surrounded. dozens of the natives where watching the Wofkin and the Nagis, watching to see what the strange aliens would do when faced with another species. like a test to see if the aliens that had landed on their planet would be viscous and dangerous or not. she swallowed as the Wofkin prodded her breasts a little, curious about the human shape under that tight space suit, stroking the long red hair and just all around curious about the humans. it chattered at her and she hesitated before she drew a large circle on the ground and mode motions to everything around her. trying to convey that they had come to explore the planet. the Wofkin didn't seam to get it.

the Nagis examining Ren blinked at him, head cocked to the side still, very curious about the strange things. others where coming closer now, since the things seamed to be rather harmless and where examining, but not touching the ship, pointing at it and talking to each other quickly. looking excited to have people from the sky visiting them. the Nagis examining Rennet called out to the one examining Alexandria and seamed to like the answer he got. he took Rennets wrist and gave him a little tug before turning and heading into the dense thicket of trees before pausing and looking towards Rennet and reaching over and tugging him forward. "i think they want us to go with them." Alex admitted, her Wofkin was practically pushing her in the direction. "i think they want to take us to their village... i don't think we can stop them..." she admitted, looking mildly concerned as she stepped into the dense forest and followed the mass of creatures that had come to see what had landed on their planet. "please don't let us get eaten." Alexandria pleaded softly under her breath as she followed the Wofkin. apparently they where not parked as far away from a village as they had thought. ten feet away from where they made camp, completely hidden by the trees was a tiny village full of no more than fifty individuals, all of whom looked exited or frightened of the new creatures that had landed practically on top of them.

the buildings where all made of the various woods from around the planet. reds, blues, greens, reds, purples, and yellows where stacked up in fantastic colorful patterns. each 'house' was wrapped around the trunk of a tree and held in place using massive cords of rope made from... well whatever it was it was pink. long bridges and rope ladders connected each house in a sort of sky roadway. it was astonishingly complex, it was something modern day human builders might manage to make with machines and power tools. but these creatures did not have machines and power-tools. which made the achievement even more impressive. there where some working around a fire to smoke meat, others where working in large gardens, growing various things. it was almost like watching a well oiled tribe of native Indians before they where driven out. each person had a job, and they did that job for the benefit of the all, not just the one. still, they all stopped to stare at the newcomers while children where ushered up ladders and into the safety of the huts.

Renet continued to stay calm as the creature examined him, even when more of the life forms began to emerge all around them he didn't lose his cool....they had been trained to expect a situation like this. He blinked as the large creature took his wrist, surprisingly gently given the imposing appearance of the snake man, and gave him a little tug before turning to head for the trees. Ren didn't seem to have much choice when it came to following. Then again he probably would've followed without being practically dragged. "I think you're right....though I think it means they're just as curious about us as we are about them....we should go rather than resisting, we want to make a good first impression and show them that we're friendly right? Turning down their invitation might be seen as some kind of insult"

Ren glanced to Alex and grinned slightly as they headed into the trees, expecting a somewhat long walk. When they emerged into the village within seconds however, he was surprised to say the least. "Wow.....so close....it looks like the scanners couldn't tell the difference between such a dense forest and such a small village made from the forest materials....and the life forms....maybe some of the unidentified genetic traces in them are the same as in the plants...maybe that's why the scanners couldn't pick up so many....once we have some samples we'll need to make some adjustments on the scanners so this doesn't happen again...." He glanced up around the village, clearly impressed...and glad that when he had put the scanner in his pocket he had left it switched on to take readings continuously.

"I don't think they want to hurt us though....if they did, I don't think they would've brought us back to the village first...they probably would've done something to us back at the camp. I think they want to know about us like we want to know about them..." He looked around at the creatures in the village and smiled, raising his free hand to give a gentle wave as a greeting. "We just need to find a way to communicate....wow....it's incredible that the distinct species can live together like this....there don't seem to be any elements of racism at all like there was back on old Earth....they seem to live with one another in complete harmony....their social evolutions must have been incredibly close once the distinct species emerged..."

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?

Ren had been about to say that maybe pulling out her camera wasn't the best idea, he was suddenly reminded of tribes on Earth that believed a camera took part of your soul, but fortunately the natives seemed to be more amused by it than anything else. When they took the camera and went so far as trying to eat it, he couldn't help but laugh....it was like watching 2 year olds playing with things they didn't understand, though it was clear that these beings were far more intelligent than that. "Oh don't worry, my scanner is recording everything from my pocket...and I think it best it stays there from the looks of things...it's not quite as robust against being eaten as your camera seems to be..." He smirked slightly as he watched, then looked around the village a little more, smiling and waving to some of the children that had dared emerge onto the walkways to observe the new visitors before their parents and guardians could shoo them back inside.

"Hm....it's possible....though if this planet were older I'd expect them to be more technologically advanced than this. It's possible that something happened in the past, some kind of disaster, that forced the various species to work together.....all of them would survive or none of them would. Look at our own history....the worst of enemies have become the greatest of allies when faced with a common threat.....on this planet though it may have lasted beyond whatever crisis they faced. Hopefully they have some kind of record of their history that can maybe answer these questions..." Renet rubbed his chin slightly as his mind whirred with thoughts and theories, once again he was so deep in thought that he missed Alexandria's gleeful outburst, even going so far as to close his eyes so he could focus on his thoughts for a few moments, only just opening his eyes in time to see the Clan Leaders emerging. "Well....they definitely look more important...I guess any society needs a leader to rally around..."

He watched the behaviour carefully. He had studied the observational data....these three were definitely ones to pay full attention to....what they said went...and that was that. Ren smiled as they were studied, bowing his head in respect. Maybe it meant nothing to these people, but it was important that the human pair showed their own customs as well as observing these creatures, it vastly increased the chances of finding some kind of commonality that they could start from.
When the crowd all started cheering, Ren blinked, looking over at Alexandria. "Well....they're happy about something. I'd say we're either going to be welcomed as honoured guests.....or they just found the main course for a feast they've been planning and not caught anything for yet....hopefully the former because there's no way I've got enough meat on me to feed all these people"

she chuckled a little as she shook her head. "yeah lets not risk the Scanner, the government would kill us." she admitted with amusement. "i wish i'd thought to grab one." she groaned with a sigh before scowling at him. "oh hah. very funny... at least they didn't swallow it. can't imagine the belly ache that might have caused." she admitted before blinking at him. "well. not all cultures are technological. look at Africa, many of their native communities don't even have Cell Phones, let alone a TV or anything else. it could be that they've never needed technology, or what tech they do have is hidden somewhere for emergencies only. or something. or maybe they just don't care about technology anymore?" she wondered, her head tilted. "that does seam like a very good probability. a meteor hit the planet maybe, or a massive Volcano explosion, maybe one of their Tech blew up, or all of their tech blew up, or they almost killed their own planet..." she muttered, thinking long and hard about it. "yeah, they are definitely important." she muttered. "there where pictures from the Satellite about people like this. it looks like they run the entire village." she bowed as well, she couldn't pull off a very good curtsey.

"as intelligent as they are, they MUST have some form of written history..." she muttered. "whether or not we'll ever be able to understand it is another story. i'm a geneticist, not a linguist." she grumbled with a shake of her head as she watched the people celebrate. "please don't let us get eaten, please don't let us get eaten, please don't EEEH!!!" she squealed in fright as the creatures converged on her, tearing off her clothes. "get off! get off!!!!" she shrieked before gasping as a new gown was pulled on. soft as silk and it felt like water under her fingers. she glanced over to see Renent getting the same treatment. both where dressed like the tribsmen now. no top, and skirt like pair of underwear. she squealed again as a finger prodded her breast and she smacked the hand away and covered herself with her hands, going bright red. the clan backed up a little bit and muttered to each other, confused. now that she noticed it, the women here where bare breasted too. from the Chatat to the Nagis. at least the Wofkins had fur, or maybe feathers, covering their external bits. she finally took matters into her own hand and grabbed a second pair of 'undies' and tore off one of the long flaps and wrapped it around her chest. this seamed to utterly fascinate the tribe, which was watching. instantly anything with breasts followed her example and she blinked a little. "...well.. i think i started a trend... that's certainly never happened before... i don't think we're going to be eaten at least." she admitted to Rennet, giggling at him. he'd ended up with a hot pink pair of clothes. it was almost as if they where being treated like very honored guests, or like Gods.

and in fact, the people of the village where already bringing out things to give to the pair, clothes, gold jewelry, food upon food upon food. one of the Clan leaders was etching something onto the ground, trying to communicate with them. at the top was the sky, the bottom was a round circle to show the planet. and then he drew a line from the stars to the planet and she blinked. "i think he wants to know if we came from another planet..." she admitted, blinking at Rennet. "i can't be sure.... what do you think?"

Renet was just starting to relax....until the creatures quite literally started to rip Alexandria's clothes off of her. "H-hey!" Ren took a slight step forward, but was stopped as he was grabbed and his own clothes were ripped away from him, chocolate skin being revealed for all to see. One thing Ren noted...everyone here seemed to have fairly light, white skin....he seemed to be the only dark skinned being around....whether that would earn him any kind of different treatment or not he wasn't sure....he suspected this was the first time these beings may have encountered someone with different coloured skin. He was snapped out of his thoughts as he was now re-dressed in the clothing of this world, then looked up at Alexandria, gasping as he saw she was rather....topless. For a few brief moments he got his first view of her milky white perky breasts...though only for a second, until she covered herself with her hands, then fashioned a makeshift top from a spare piece of clothing. He couldn't help but grin slightly....and then concentrate on trying his best not to get turned on....with this article of clothing even he would show if he got an erection.

"I think you just invented the bra Alex..." Renet smirked and folded his arms, then glanced down at himself and twitched when he finally noticed the pink colouring of his clothes. "Now how come I get pink and you don't? Not only that but bright bubblegum pink....what am I, a schoolgirl?" He sighed slightly, then blinked as they were suddenly being surrounded with gifts. "Ah....I wish we could tell them this wasn't necessary...." He rubbed his head, then looked to the clan leader as he began to draw into the ground. "Ah...I understand...." Renet nodded again, then slowly moved to step forward. "I think I know what to do..."

Ren took it on himself to move forward towards the drawing. Whilst neither of them were 'in command' of this mission, Renet technically had superiority and outranked Alexandria. They were the same rank, but he had obtained it several days earlier than her, making him technically the more senior officer of the pair.
He moved to the drawing and looked at it for a moment, then above the drawing he started to poke more holes in the ground to signify the stars. He continued to do so as he stepped away, moving several feet from the original drawing and leaving a trail of stars behind him, before drawing another drawing of a planet in the ground. He pointed to himself, then the drawing, before drawing a line from his drawing of Earth back towards the drawing the clan leader had made. "I think that should explain it, we're from another planet and have come to theirs"

the creatures paused as they realized that all of Rennet was that color and they rubbed at his skin a little, trying to figure out why it was so different. one even started licking his arm, trying to wash the mud off. Alexandria thought it was hilarious. "they must have never seen any other skin color before." she mused, which only proved Rennet's theory right. "at least they're not shocked about your hair, they might try to pull it off." she admitted with another giggle. "i wish we could explain that you're supposed to be that color." she admitted. "they seam so confused." she admitted with a smile before she glared at him. "did you just sneak a peak at my breasts!?" she demanded as she realized he was watching her tie the strap around her boobs. not that she was really all that annoyed, it made her feel kind of pleased that he was taking notice of her body. "yeah, i guess i did. though i don't know if i can actually claim to have invented it." she admitted with a chuckle. "i don't think they have Gender defined colors here." she admitted, looking down at her own green outfit. "i think they just picked a color you'd look good in." then she flushed as she realized how that sounded. "that came out wrong..."

"...well, some of this stuff is really kind of neat. we could study it for now, and then give it back when we can communicate with them better." she decided. "besides, i'm starving and that soup smelled awful." she admitted as she accepted a large purple fruit the size of a basketball, her head tilted. "well... i'm actually not sure i want to eat this..." she admitted with a sigh. "we need out lab equipment, this could be poisonous for us..." she admitted before grinning as she watched him draw across the ground, the groups of people watching intently, whispering in awe as he just kept going and going and finally settled on drawing a circle, showing just how far away they where. the Clan leaders looked suitably impressed. well, that's what it looked like anyway. "very well done Ren, i think they understand. here... let me try." she muttered, drawing a picture of their ship and the supplies on it with two stick figures next to it. before drawing the stick figures away from the ship, only this time laying down, as if dead. they seam puzzled until she mimed being dead herself. that certainly got their attention, they where immidiatly escorted back to their ship so they could get their things. "well, this proves they don't want us dead at least. and now anything weird they see on us, they'll assume we need it to survive, until we can explain what it is that we're doing." she admitted, smiling at him. "aren't i clever?" she asked with a snicker. "here, we'll grab some food rations for until we can find something to eat here that won't kill us, and grab all the analyzers. we'll do the science stuff later." she decided. "i'm going to run in and grab an extra scanner, and a third for backup, just in case." she admitted. "do you still have yours, or did you loose it with your pants?" she asked as she paused in the doorway, wondering if she needed to grab two, or three. they only had six, so they had to be careful with them. the analyzers would tell them, at the very least, what was safe to eat and drink on the planet. they would have to wait on the more scientific stuff until after they could properly communicate. "i'm grabbing two of the universal translators! i doubt it will work on whatever language their using, but maybe we can use them to help us with a few of the words at least. and maybe we can set them to record and analyze the language."

"Well....at least they don't seem to mind different coloured skin....that's good to know" Ren chuckled slightly, then quickly looked away as Alexandria asked him about peeking at her breasts. "W-well....it's not like I looked on purpose or anything, they were just there when everyone moved out of the way is all..." He laughed nervously, fortunately missing her comment about the pink looking good on him. One thing Renet had always been was oblivious when it came to women. In this situation, maybe that was for the best.

"They understand we're from somewhere else....though I'm not sure they understand how that's possible..." Renet watched Alexandria's drawing carefully, then the reactions of the people. "Hm....interesting....they can grasp that we came from somewhere else in the ship but...." He was slightly worried that the beings here wouldn't be able to tell that they were here through scientific means. Back on Earth, tribal societies at this level of technological advancement tended to have greater beliefs in mysticism than science. They needed to be very careful how they acted here, and very careful what they said once they learned to communicate.
"Ah, my scanner? Still in my pants....though maybe that's not such a bad thing. So long as they keep the pants then it means the scanner is going to be working in the village even when we're not here. And if it gets thrown away, the ship can always track it. The power supply on those things is good for a month before it needs recharging. Even then, it should be easy to track because of the materials..." He moved to follow her back towards the ship, the pair still flanked by several of the villagers, though they seemed to be there more out of curiosity than any actual kind of requirement as far as Ren could tell.

"Good idea...the universal translators can at least be adapted. Though we need to convince them to start speaking a little more....maybe if we can get them to give us the names of a few things it'll be a start" He nodded slightly to himself, then went to follow Alexandria, occasionally giving her a few instructions on what to remove or how to remove certain things that he had been responsible for packing away whilst he got some other things. It wasn't much, but it might have been just enough for the locals to start seeing him as the 'more authorative' of the pair. "I think food analysis needs to be our first task. After that, we need to identify a source of water and analyse it for anything potentially dangerous. Unfortunately.....I think we're pretty much stuck having to take some risks. The unknown elements in the food and water....the scanners probably wont be able to tell if they're dangerous or not with any degree of certainty, the best we can do is minimise the risk"

she nodded. "a very good thing." she agreed before huffing. "that's what ALL men say." she scoffed, snickering a little to herself. if was kind of fun, screwing with Ren like this. "you're right. there's no telling what they really think about us. we could totally screw up their society if we're not careful." she admitted. "they already started a new fashion trend because of us, what else could we do? not something so harmless i'd bet." she admitted with a shake of her head. "i wonder how they'll react when we have to go back for our monthly report?" she asked, biting her lip. "i just hope they don't think we're gods or something... that would be..." pretty cool actually. disastrous, but cool, even if she wasn't far off. "well, we might be able to scan some pretty cool stuff with that scanner in your pocket... i wonder what they're going to do with our clothes?" she mused. "i'm going to cry if they toss them into the fire. that was my favorite outfit." she admitted, sulking a little as she grabbed all the things he told her to grab, all too happy to be told what to do. she didn't come here to make decisions she came here to do science.

"exactly. and we can even directly program in words that they teach us as well." she admitted. "so even if we don't get the hang of the language ourselves, the smartprogam in the translators should at least help us figure out what they are saying, even if it's overly simplified." she admitted with a grin. "i agree. i'm sureious about how the food tastes here." she admitted. "i'm a little worried about those unknown chemicals and elements though, who knows what it might do to our bodies, but i suppose that's a risk we're just going to have to take, seeing as we're already breathing some of those unknown elements into our lungs." she admitted with a shake of her head. "do we have everything we're going to need?" she asked, pocketing three digital cameras. she intended to fill every last one of them with pictures. then she'd use the transportable printer to print them off, and label them with the names of the things that the Locals had names for, then with Ren's help, she'd give each thing an 'earth' name, and classification. such as mammal or bush. she was sure that there had to be some rules to this place, even if it wasn't the same rules as on earth. once she could start taking genetic samples, she could see how closely related the animals, and the people, where to each other. it was exciting.

"come on, i want to start taking pictures of the houses. i still can't figure out how they hold the houses together without metal... it just doesn't make any sense.." she grumbled with a small scowl as she hefted her backpack onto her back and headed back outside, where the people where chattering happily away as they examined everything in the camp. they where certainly curious. then again, who wouldn't be curious when they where invaded? at least they weren't afraid. that would have been terrible. "here, you start taking samples of the food, and i'll start taking pictures." she offered, digging out the food and water analyzers and her new camera. she started snapping a picture of each individual they had found themselves with, and then started taking pictures of the houses up in the trees. the various peoples looked more than a little confused by what she was doing, and half of them trailed along behind her as they watched, heads cocked. the other half was watching what Rennet was doing with great curiosity and it didn't take them long to realize he was messing with the food. whether they understood he was checking to make sure it was safe or not remained to be seen, but they started bringing out various fruits, roots, vegetables, fungus, meat, fish, fowl, and what looked like a skinned and cooked whole lizard. everything he tested showed that there wasn't anything dangerous in it, save for the unknown components. but at least they wouldn't starve... not that Alexandria was any help. she just took a picture of each piece of food and muttered about diversity.

"Well we don't have to make the monthly report in person....we could pretty easily send an unmanned drone...though we only have 6 of those too....either we'll need to ask for them to be sent back so we can re-use them, or eventually we are gonna have to go back, though not for 6 or 7 months...." Ren nodded slightly at her statement about the natives thinking they were gods...they had to avoid that at all costs....they could cause incredible damage to this planets culture if they let that happen....not to mention other humans could come and take advantage of that if humanity became thought of as a race of gods from the stars.

"We should have everything for now at least. We could always ask for an unmanned supply drop if we need it. "Alright, you can start cataloguing the village, but be careful alright? If it looks like they don't want you picturing something, then don't try. There might be some kind of sacred artefact that's forbidden to outsiders or something....last thing we need is them deciding we aren't welcome here anymore" He smiled to her, then followed her outside, moving over towards the gifts that had been brought for them, in particular the food, raising another scanner up to it in order to get some closer scans. "Hm....nothing poisonous so far...."
Ren had been squatting down at first, but when he felt a light breeze he realised that this position meant that the clothes he had been given were riding up and revealing his silky smooth ass cheeks to the natives. He quickly blushed slightly and moved to a kneeling position instead. "Ok....maybe now it'll be a little better...." He looked back to the scanner, trying to ignore the stares he was getting as he continued to analyse the food.

"Hm....what's this...?" He reached out for one particular piece of fruit. Unlike the others it was unique among the pile, and rather than just dumped in it seemed to have been presented rather carefully. A quick glance around the area showed no trees or plants that bore this fruit like many of the others. "Hm...seems to be quite rare....this one may be special..." He moved the scanner to it. "Contains a lot more unknown elements than the others, though nothing immediately poisonous.....well....I suppose this is as good a place as any to make a start...."
Ren brought the fruit closer to his face, taking a sniff. It smelled kind of sweet. He hesitated for a few more moments, then went to take a large bite. The scanner couldn't tell him anything else, so all that was left was to give it a try and hope for the best.

she pondered that and then nodded. "it wouldn't be hard to just send a letter explaining that we've made contact with the locals and that we don't want to leave. who knows how they'd react to us vanishing, and then coming back. besides, aside from fresh clothes... which i don't think we need to worry about, we don't really need any supplies at all if we can find food and water that's not dangerous for us." she admitted. "and if we send a letter, they can just send a drone every month with the things we need. we can just keep sending Drones back and forth." she mused. "we wouldn't need much... i wish i'd packed more cameras though." she admitted with a sigh before she beamed at him. "i'll be careful." she promised. "try not to eat anything that's deadly." she demanded with a snicker as she walked off to take pictures. she was even taken up into the tree houses to take pictures of everything up there. she had to giggle when she looked down and caught a perfect view of his nether regions. she considered taking a picture, but decided she better now, who knew how much he might beat her up for that kind of thing. the various creatures around him where also looking, though they where more curious about what he was doing with the food than what he was hiding. they'd already seen it anyway.

"Ren! did you start eating without me!?" Alex demanded, blinking at the fruit he was holding, her head tilted a little as she plucked it out of his hands, watching him closely for any ill side effects. when he didn't appear to be poisoned, she took a careful bite of her own. "oh! it tastes pretty good!" she admitted, sitting down next to him to share the food, offering some to the natives, who smiled and accepted anything they where given. the children where still inside the houses. "the children seam to be having schooling lessons." Alex admitted, showing him pictures from her camera. "see here? they have a very complex written language." she had taken a picture of what looked like very complicated squiggles arranged in patterns. "their houses are made of wood, entirely out of wood." she admitted. "even the nails and the glue and the ropes that hold the thing into the trees and together." she admitted, flicking through the pictures as she munched on a piece of dried meat that didn't taste anything like beef jerky. "i'm... feeling a little warm..." she admitted, squirming a little. most of the villagers seamed to have gotten bored and had wandered off, but a few of them where sticking close, watching intently. as if waiting for something. "i feel... tingly..." she admitted after another moment, squirming some more. "...i don't think... that was a normal fruit..." she admitted, struggling to control herself as she watched one of the other creatures, a pure white Wofkin, pick up the half abandoned fruit and take a bite before moving over to Rennet, the Wofkin pressing her furry breasts tight against him even as something very firm pressed against his hip. a hermaphroditic species!

"i... i think... i think we've been fed an honest to god Aphrodisiac..." she admitted, panting hard as she looked around, all too willing to... sample, the local customs. she was even more horny than she was when she caught sight of her partners almost nudity. "mmm..." she staggered to her feet, watching the Wofkin stroking Rennet through the fabric he was wearing and she picked up the abandoned fruit, desperate for her own pleasure and held it out to the waiting group, waiting to see if anyone wanted to... play, with her.

"I'd done all the scans I could, trying it out was pretty much the only thing left to be done" Renet grinned slightly as she plucked the fruit from his hands, though he still had some of it in his mouth that he could munch on for a few more moments before swallowing. "Hm...interesting....we'll have to study their construction techniques....the ways to build like that are pretty much long forgotten back home, it would be interesting to see how its done though....." He smiled, then blinked as he felt....strange. A few moments before Alexandria started to tingle, he gasped, suddenly sitting bolt upright.....then a few moments later, something else went upright....the cloth he was wearing suddenly tenting up, the erection coming on so quickly that it was painful for a moment. Then he felt the soft fur of the Wolfkin against him, biting on the fruit then pressing her soft chest into him....along with something rather hard against his lower body. "Wh-what....? What's....happening...."
Ren panted, then gasped as the Wolfkin started stroking him through the fabric, pre-cum already leaking plentifully from his average sized erection.

As Alexandria stumbled to her feet and picked up the fruit, most of the natives had either dispersed or seemed content to watch, but then a lone male Chatat started to move forward, approaching Alexandria with long, confident strides. It reached out to take the fruit from her hands, then promptly finished it off. It started to look her over, then reached down to discard the cloth it was wearing. For a moment, it seemed to have no genitals at all, but then something stirred....and Alex would see that this creatures cock was actually tucked down between its legs and around to the back, but now it was starting to move in an almost snake-like fashion, uncurling and moving between the creatures legs, the tip pointed as the foot long snake-like cock sprang out infront of it. Halfway down the shaft were what seemed to be scales, scales made from diamond, but so perfectly smooth that there wasn't a trace of a sharp edge. Along the flesh parts of the shaft were tiny pores, all of them already secreting a clear liquid, as if the cock was self-lubricating.
The Chatat walked to Alexandria, moving around behind her and ripping her garments from her, upper and lower. It had placed a hand on her hip, about to reach up to cup one of her breasts, until it seemed to notice something. Glancing up, it saw Renet shooting a flash of what almost seemed to be jealousy.

The Chatat paused for a moment, then suddenly reached down, grabbing the back of Alexandria's legs and hoisting her into the air, her back against its chest and its cock against her back, his hands spreading her legs as he started to approach Ren and the Wolfkin, presenting Alexandria's full body all the while.
As it approached, the Chatat spoke in an odd language to the Wolfkin, the two conversing for a few moments, sounding almost excited before seemingly agreeing on something. All of a sudden, Ren was suddenly hoisted into the air in the same way Alexandria had been, held by his legs which were now spread, the cloth garment falling away to reveal his erection to Alexandria as her breasts and pussy were now exposed to him.
The Chatat holding onto Alexandria seemed to bow, as if in respect to Renet, then held Alexandria out like some kind of offering, saying something to him in their strange language. It seemed his display of authority earlier, along with his unique skin colouring, had marked him as something special by the natives. By this point Ren could only nod his head in some kind of agreement, despite not knowing what he was agreeing to. Still, it seemed more than enough for the Wolfkin and the Chatat.

Without waiting for agreement from Alexandria, she was suddenly moved forwards, her pussy rubbed against the tip of Ren's cock. Before she could protest, Alexandria was lifted up, then promptly shoved down onto Ren in a single thrust, the boy crying out in pleasure. He wasn't a virgin, but it had been a little while...and Alexandria was by far the tightest he had ever felt.
Moments later, both humans would feel a pinching against their asses....both the Wolfkin and the Chatat determined to not miss out on the pleasure, and were promptly making efforts to penetrate the human asses with their own cocks.
Ren's eyes somehow went wider, his mouth opening wide in pleasure and tongue rolling out as the Wolfkin cock slowly entered him bit by bit. He was amazed it wasn't enough to drive him to orgasm already....but then he didn't know the other effects of the fruit. Because it had been shared, all 4 of them were temporarily linked....none could cum until they all did. If anyone reached their breaking point, they would be held at the very brink of orgasm until all the people who had eaten from the same fruit were ready....at which point they would cum all at once...unleashing everything their bodies had in one massive orgasm.

she nodded a little as she munched on the fruit. "yes, the interiors are amazingly complex for us thinking they where a simple society. somehow, they even have running water. they don't seam to have any bathrooms, or bathtubs though." she admitted with a sigh. "i really don't want to have to pee outside." she groaned with a shake of her head. "oh!" she gasped, looking shocked as he suddenly sprouted an erection, her eyes widening as she realized what had happened. no wonder that fruit had been treated with such special care. the Wofkin giggled as it stroked him, licking at his neck as Alexandria set off to find her own 'mate'. she could only hope these guys didn't mate for life or something, but she was too damn horny to care.

Alexandria gasped as she stared at the very odd cock that the Chatat was wielding, her eyes wide as she gaped at it. it was so... so, erotic! she wanted to touch it, and taste it, and get fucked by it. god where all the cocks around here like that!? she hoped so! she gasped as he garments where torn off and felt a flash of embarrasment as she realized they where being watched still, they had attracted a small crowd of curious onlookers. a few where even fondling themselves, or each other. excited by the foreign flesh that was about to be fucked. "yes. please..." Alex moaned, leaning back into the Chatat as it gripped her hip, eagerly inviting it, uncaring that she was being watched. the Fruit was driving her insane. she needed to be fucked, she needed to cum. god she was so aroused it hurt!

Alex gasped as she was hoisted into the air, wrapping her arms around the chatat with a yelp, fearing for a moment that she was going to be dropped. she shouldn't have worried, the creatures on this planet had many times more strength than the two human scientists did. as small as Alexandria was, she weighed less than a feather to the Chatat. she flushed hard as she realized that at this angle, Ren would be able to see everything, but all she could do was shiver and squirm, desperate for something, anything, so long as it was buried deep inside of her. she whimpered as she watched Ren's garment slide off, licking her lips at the sight of him. he wasn't the biggest, but she wasn't exactly big herself. he'd fit perfectly inside of her. she gasped as he nodded, nodding herself, anything to make someone, anything fuck her.

Alexandria squealed as she was suddenly thrust forward, sliding down onto Rennet's hot, hard cock. "yes! oh god YES!" just like Ren, it had been a long time since she'd had sex. and she'd only had it a few times, leaving her still quite tight, snug around his length, and hot as well. the Wofkin cock was out, and it was hard too. it was steadily oozing out a thick liquid from the tip of it's long, tube like dick. it was as smooth as rubber, but had a thick flare halfway down with ridges that could flair open, locking a person onto it's cock, making it impossible to escape. even more, there was a thick knot at the base, which would futher restrain any person, human or otherwise pierced by it's cock. it wasted no time in pushing forward, sinking the tip of it's cock deep into Ren, sliding in effortlessly thanks to the clear ooze it was expelling by the bucketful. soon those deep ridges where brushing along his prostate, and settled there as the knot pressed tight against his ass, though it didn't try to push that in just yet.

"oh god. oh god. oh god!" Alexandria moaned, clenching even tighter around Rennet as the massive cock of the Chatat forced it's way into her tight ass, spreading her, filling her more full than she'd ever imagined she could be. she'd never had anything in her ass before, but it didn't hurt at all. it only felt good. really good the way the scales, and the smooth tip rubbed about deep inside of her. she cried out again, reaching out for Rennet, pulling him in for a deep kiss, her tongue stroking his as she rocked her hips... not that she could move much the way the Chatat was holding her. the Wofkin giggled and started thrusting a little faster, deeper inside of Rennet, pushing tighter against his ass, growling as it finally spread him wide, very wide, and locked them together on that thick knot. now Rennet couldn't escape, not that he wanted to.

Ren had been worried, somewhere through the haze of lust, that Alexandria would struggle....that she wouldn't want this...that the creatures here might force her on themselves, or even on him....but it seemed that Alexandria was no match for the fruit....just like him it had driven her lust to inhuman levels, too much to resist no matter what their willpower might have been. As Alexandria was presented to him, Renet couldn't help taking in her body...her skin unblemished, smooth and milky white, quite the contrast to his own chocolate brown skin. As he was lifted up, his silver hair cascaded around him, framing his face and the lewd expression of lust perfectly.

Then it happened....Renet felt Alexandria's pussy teasing at his cock, then suddenly she was thrust onto it, her cries of ecstasy like music to Renet's ears....and the Chatat holding onto Alex seemed to certainly enjoy it as well. No sooner had he bottomed out inside of Alexandria though did he feel the thick rubbery cock against his ass....poking into him, prodding against his tight, virgin asshole....but it soon wanted to go further. With a sharp push, Ren's eyes and mouth went wide as he felt something pushing into his ass for the very first time. "A-AH!!" He squirmed and wiggled his hips, though whether it was in protest or pleasure was impossible to tell. Either way, his efforts only served to wiggle him further down the Wolfkin's long, thick cock, eased by the plentiful pre-cum it was currently producing. Despite Ren's incredible tightness, the Wolfkin would be able to slide the entirety of it's shaft inside, even the ridges, until Ren felt a bump against his ass. He assumed it was simply the Wolfkin's hips....he had no idea it was a knot...

The Chatat grunted as it's cock slid slowly into Alexandria's ass, the combination of the lubrication and pointed tip making the initial insertion quite easy. Then, once a few inches were inside...Alexandria would feel the cock moving around within her....wiggling like a snake, the shaft adjusting to the shape of her body in order to push deeper more easily without stretching her out.
Ren didn't even try to resist his fellow explorer pulling him in, eagerly returning her kiss rather sloppily, their combined saliva dripping from their mouths and down onto Alex's breasts.
Once all of them seemed to be bottomed out....the thrusting began, the Wolfkin and Chatat thrusting into their human lovers asses, which in turn caused Ren's own cock to slide in and out of Alexandria, driving the boy into heights of pleasure he couldn't ever have imagined....but then he felt a sudden harsh thrust against him. Just as he had reached a hand for Alexandria's breasts, the Wolfkin knot suddenly thrust into him, spreading him wide. "BWAH!!!!" His mouth and eyes went wider than ever, his hands suddenly squeezing Alexandria's breasts roughly, tweaking at her nipples as he doubled over, now capable of nothing more than gurgling as the effects of the fruit held him at the very verge of orgasm.
