fact, a world quite able to support our type of life,” Abna said. “What do we do, then? Fly around it and see what there is?”
“No point in doing that.” the Amazon responded. “We’ve seen it is a world of almost equal division of continents and oceans, and just where we are now there is a city close by. Best thing to do is arm ourselves and start exploring”
“Why not try the radio?” Viona suggested. “Even if we don’t understand the language, we’ll be able to tell if there’s anybody alive. Surely a civilization worth anything has radio developed as one of its sciences?”

Only a crackling of static, probably engendered by the mighty sun and far-off radioactive planet. Certainly there were no voices or anything resembling music.
“No need to look so disappointed.” Abna commented. “If anybody had landed on Earth in the Middle Ages, they would not have heard radio, either: I’m beginning to hope that we really have landed on a world where science is not very well developed. We’ll be able to teach them something.”
