5000 years ago, scientists discovered a new planet. This planet, up until recently had been called Z-3200. And it seemed to be a dead hunk of floating space rock. At least, to the untrained eye it was. To business men, it held the promise of space for more factories and refineries. To biologists, there was an amazing amount of Flore, new plants, many new plants. To the druggies, hell, they were just something else they could burn to feel good. But 10 years ago, after sending a small exploration team, they found a rock, or what they believe to be a rock. They call it the Nova Fragment, and they have no clue what it does, what it’s made of, and where it came from. So, the planet was renamed Nova, after this new material. The strangest thing was that that small piece was the only piece they had found so far. After another 10 years of searching for this new composite, the government decided that it was a bust and started to pull out. But one biologist wanted to give it one last go. She couldn’t explain why but she needs to go down there for one last search. And if there really is no one down there, then they would be no risk. A month later, nobody had heard from her and that is never a good sign…

The date of launch, diary of Captain Hamilton.
6 AM:
That silly scientist really wants to go to that planet so I don’t think that I can stop her. If I’ll help her, I make myself guilty of treason but what they don’t know, they can’t punish me for. Is there a possibility that she will discover life? I don’t think so but maybe she finds at least something and if she finds something that is worth of it, I’ll be considered as a hero! But now, I’m going to prepare the ship
1 PM:
The ship is ready for take of and I have informed the girl that she can leave around 9 PM. I hope that there won’t be any kind of control when she is going to take off but she seems ready for it. I wish this girl a lot of luck.
9:05 PM:
The girl recently left Earth towards Nova. I hope that we are going to get some information soon but I think that this was a one way trip… Good luck…
Greeting Captain R. Hamilton

These notes where the last notes about the girl. Nobody has heard something about here since then. But what happened to the girl?
 
Sandra moved out of the Pod as she hit the planet, She'd found that Nova was breathable, enough plants to create enough O to survive, with a ltitle help of a filtered mask if you where worried about contagens. She'd been dieing of Cancer that no one had figured out long enough to have removed her overies. She wasn't terribly worried about what she might breath in on a planet, Pulling the long blond hair into a high ponytail she bound it up into a bun next, pinning it with one of many writing utensles as she grabbed up her coat and recording devices and began looking around.

Coming back to Nova was done more because she couldnt' shake the sensation that there was something there. That there was something here that could slow down the dieing process or help get rid of it completely - something to do what the doctors couldn't. She'd had a past before the cancer and before the need for the scientific research as the bio-engineer looked at the various plants she picked her way systematically from the pod, her starting point and base of operations, she wasn't exactly positive it still ran apparently it had a bit of a rough landing. but it would do as she needed, and she could probably rig it bak to working.

"Don't prove me wronge Nova." She whispered looking at one of the large flowering plants. "If you can't save me somehow I'm back to square one." She was talking to herself taking samples.
 
Nova was a very beautiful planet, very similar to Earth. But it wasn't the Earth as we know it, it was the prehistoric version of Earth. There weren't any buildings nor humans in the range of sight but if a planet was breathable, then there MUST be a form of life but who was going to find out? On Nova, there was a great silence. Not even a bird or something made a sound... Not even an insect showed up. If there was somebody on this planet, they would have come to the ship probably? Or not?

Very far from her position, there was a tower. A large, wooden tower. The tower was larger then the trees on this planet so it had a meaning. Somebody must have build it. Lived God here? Was this the sketch of Earth? Who knows...

While Sandra was taking samples, a tremor started. The tremor was very powerful and frightening. If this kind of tremor happened on Earth, a lot of people would die but here weren't any buildings that could collapse and kill people, she was lucky... For now.
 
She caught hold of one of the larger plants as the entire area shook. "Really?" She asked curiously. Asking the planet if it really thought it necessary to shake itself, its not like she was that heavy - though she supposed in a planets mind a human was a bit like a flee. "I haven't actually done anything." She told the planet, she'd barely taken liquid samples she hadn't started picking anything, a little necter from some plants, looking mostly for the ones that pooled liquid inside their flowers. She hung on until it stopped.

Working her way across while the day was good, she'd discovered on Nova hat the day wasn't exactly long, and thus you had to work quickly and you carried things with you so that if you ended up stuck somewhere you had what you needed to make a camp - at least stay warm. She stood there for a few minutes. Quite after it stopped examining a liquid sample. "Nova nova nova." She whisepred as she shook the little tube. She picked her way farther out, working quickly labling each tube by the description of the plant. Photo imagry if possible. She looked up blinking as she looked at hte massive field. "Well... So its not all trees." She mused. She'd been on Nova a few times - each time assessing its colonizing abilities. It didn't take long to rule it out. Someone always objected. "Lets see what you've got to show me."
 
The weirdest thing ever was going to happen while Sandra was on the planet. A light flew up from the tower in to the sky. A load growl came from the tower and another tremor started. Was there something in the tower? Was it life? Was it dangerous? Was the planet a species? All these questions were coming up in persons their mind if it would happen in a movie... But nobody knew what a real person was going to think when it happened. It was just fascinating, the yellow light filled up the sky. The night was going to come soon so she was forced to stop taking samples and to look for shelter. It was going to be a cold night on Nova... A very cold night that she wouldn't survive if she was going to stay outside. Was she going to be fast enough?
 
She jumped as the light hit the air. And headed back in a direct line following the compass attached to her belt for the Pod she'd come in, Takign the samples with her, Nova she knew wasn't exactly hospitalbe, it had been teh reason she'd nixed it innitaly no one knew what was toxic and what wasn't. When they'd begun to determine what was and what wasn't someone had nixed it for lack of rain and surface water. When they had discovered a great deal of liquid in some of the plants was drinkable and seemed almost always self replenishing, along with underground liquids someone had nixed the it for lack of Fauna. She Dove for the pod hitting a button to open it as the temperature plumeted and she crawled in working to shut the lid.
 
The night had begun... It became dark very fast, it was a beautiful sight and the light was just a signal for the night to come. Then everybody knew that they needed to leave if they couldn't handle the cold. Outside the pod, there was a noise. It seemed a voice but nobody could know it for sure. Who knows what's outside.. It can be anything, really anything. Maybe it was a gorilla or an alien? The pod started to move, the thing had lifted the pod and started to carry it towards the tower. A sign was on the pod and it was visible if you were inside of the pod. Tower of Fate was the sign. It could mean anything but Sandra was going to find out soon what it meant...
 
Sandy stared at the sign, holding the Samples as she was jostled around and carried away. "really?" She asked, Nothing had been reported by any of the other scientists or anyone else about anything on the planet that was a life form of any capacity beyond plant life and she was being carried by somethign! Of course, a single unit was so much less intemidating than a group or collection. She was curious if the pod was still broadcasting as she hit a record button. "I want everyoent o know that there's some form of Life on Nova - its CARRYING me." She told them irritated but very curious. As she shifted tryng to get a look at what was carrying her throught he night, Muscular body cramped now that the Chair was no longer rightside up. She hit the save button and sent the note. A footnote on the end being. "And no I have no idea about It."
 
The mysterious creature started to knock on the pod to look for any kind of other life inside of the pod but he didn’t seemed to be that smart. It was a stupid creature to be honest. Another tremor started near the pod and the creature ran away. A voice was close to the pod now. “Identify yourself,” the voice said. “I want to know your name, your race and the reason why you are on this planet.” The voice seemed to have knowledge about the human language and about the existence of humans. The species that she was going to encounter was smart then because they could control multiple languages, at least if they had their own langue too but nobody knew that. This tower where she was taken too, wasn’t in the files either so was it recent or was it there but did nobody see it?
 
She made a noise as the pod was jostled more. "My name is Sandra Delequax!" She shouted as she tried to regain her positioning and keep the sampels safe as the thing ran. "I'm here looking - Looking for a cure!" She sighed, no you didn't lie to all powerful things that where controlling something that was carrying you around. "I'm dieing." She shifted, holdin the bag against her chest as she tried to get some simbilance of control inside the pod. "Cna you make this thing stop throwing me around like a rag doll?!"
 
“As I listen to your voice, I’m pretty sure that you are from planet Earth and that you are indeed dying,” the voice said. He opened the pod and lifted her out. Then he placed her on the ground in front of himself. “You aren’t smart to come here, you can find death earlier then life her unless you know where to look.” The alien looked like humans but he didn’t had a mouth! Well, he had one but the alien was another kind of humanoid and he could shift some parts of his body depending to the situation. “My name is Omega,” Omega said. Omega meant, most of the time, End. Alpha and Omega… The beginning and the end.
 
She held th things in her hands cluched to her chest as she was picked up out of her pod landing on her feet she stared at the alien. "Nice to meet you... Omega." She said after a moment. "We've been on Nova before." She pointed out. "I've an idea of what's edible." She admitted. "A vague one." She admitted with a slight roll of her eyes. "but...I'm dieing one way or the other, This planet is the only chance i have unless they find another that we don't terraform ourselves."
 
"I know that you have been on Nova before. Otherwise I couldn't speak your language already," Omega said. "You shouldn't eat anything when you think that it's eatable because a lot of our planet looks eatable but are poisonous." It was quite weird, he was the only Alien with any kind of intellect that she had seen before but he kept talking about their planet. "This planet will save you, I know that but it won't save you if you don't know what you are doing." It was a sign that Nova was a dangerous planet for those who didn't knew the basic things of this planet and the flora.
 
She smiled faintly - Tiltnig her head at the alien. "Yes - I have extensive studies about the plants of Nova." She told it slowly but she agreed she did not know everything. "I also brought a... large collection of Rations with me. This... has... not exactly gone the way it was supposed to. Now..." she shifted holding out a hand to the Alien. "It is nice... to meet you."
 
"You have studies about our planet? That isn't really relative information because the information that was gathered here by other species wasn't real nor useful," Omega said. "We are a very evolved species that exists longer then your planet." He accepted her offer and shook hands with her. "It's also nice to meet you but can I ask you one question? Is Earth a species?" This question was a very weird question because the answer would tell Omega something about their knowledge and the grade of evolution they were in.
 
Sandra blinked. "Are Planets a Species?" She asked him in return. "Humans - and the animals and plants on earth are species. At least but hte accepted human definition there of." She responded calmly as she held the samples of what she had collected. Looking at the Alien for a moment. "Is Nova a Species?"
