The Lemurian ship landed in the middle of a huge plateau. There was not a soul around. The flat plain was bare and as if hot in the sun, the stone took on a dark brown hue, almost like the skin of a Lemurian.
«I told you, there’s no one here,» Luan replied. In the ship, as a result of the state of weightlessness, their personal belongings lay in confusion – as they fell after landing, they still lay.
– So what. If we are destined to be the first, we will not miss the chance to settle on this noble planet, Shea sang back to him.
– What makes you think that she is noble? Luanu stared incredulously through the porthole.
– Because it is a planet of blue water bodies with a habitable atmosphere. Shea said this with reverence and, pressing the button to open the ladder, walked to the opened hatch and easily, like a cheetah, jumped to Earth. – Hot.
– Look not to fry in there. – Luan’s face appeared in the opening, where the sunlight was already falling.
Their ship was huge. So that two five-meter Lemurians could easily fit in it, the ship had to be at least twenty meters high.
The length of the ship was also impressive. They had special sleeping compartments, food compartments, a kitchen, a bathroom. And a compartment with weapons. All this was necessary for these two brave Lemurians in order to fulfill the mission with which they flew.
In a second, both Lemurians were already on the ground. In their hands were vajras – a weapon in case of encountering the unknown. Shea twisted his head 180 degrees, assessing the position in which they were now. Perhaps very soon their children will be born here. And the Lemurians will be the first to pacify this rebellious planet.
«You’re sure there are no volcanoes around here. Liera said that… «Luana began.
– Liera is a laboratory rat. What can she know about the Earth? – indignant, not even listening to his friend Shea.
The nature around was waking up. Morning dew lay on the leaves of the bennettites and tree ferns. «It’s damn beautiful here!» Shea noted to himself.
On the day Seo Pole informed Luan and Shea that they were flying to Earth to find out if it could be colonized, Luana did not argue. He knew that Shea was an experienced commander and explorer, and if the two of them went there, they would definitely fulfill their mission. If the president believed that the planet was suitable for life, then it was so.
He was a little embarrassed by the fact that not a single civilization he knew had landed on this planet to settle. Could it be that only they had the idea to make such a daring invasion? There must have been some catch. Or were the others frightened by these creatures – «dinosaurs» – who lived here? But for them – the dinosaurs – it will be a surprise that the average Lemurian (and he and Shea were both taller than the average representative of their race) is about five meters tall. And this is at least a third of the body length of a dinosaur. So they are unlikely to scare them much.
In any case, they took their weapons with them. And it’s good that they took it.
«Iarganians, by the way, could also be here, I heard that they were staring at the Earth. But apparently they are worried about the distance – 10 light years – this is not a joke to you. "Luana thought about it, but it turned out that he said it out loud.
– Nothing like this. Shea responded immediately. «They are interested in Venus, as far as I know.
– So it’s not a matter of distance?
«I don’t think so…» Shea drawled thoughtfully, bending down to pick up some red dust on his fingers. – I wonder what kind of breed it is?
– Ordinary stones, throw it. We also have these in bulk.
– Not. Rocky rock predominates on Earth. And volcanic.
– Well, yes, well, yes ….. – Luan chuckled in response. He started the vajra and tried to cut the stone. The rock immediately parted by the force of the cutter, exposing the layered structure. Stone chips have caked on the scorched edges.
– Shh! Luan! This is not the time to be entertained. We still need weapons.
– I just checked what’s inside…. – The young Lemurian sang apologetically.
The Lemurians most often spoke to each other through small vocalizations – whatever an ordinary modern man would simply say – the Lemurian had a need to «sing.» The soft timbres of this distant superior race allowed them to create entire vocal works from the most ordinary, daily used words.
It was morning, and they had to explore the area soon, so they could return to the ship before dark. They had 6—8 hours in reserve, according to the ship’s compass. Shea patted the backpack with two of his four hands.
«I hope you haven’t forgotten the lab suitcases Liera gave us?»
Luanu smiled.
– Not. Everything is in place. Well, let’s move forward? Who knows what adventures await us today?
«I hope there will be little adventure,» Shea answered as if to himself, and they began to make their way into the green part of the plateau, where there was a jungle of small and giant tree ferns. It wasn’t. How difficult: wielding two pairs of hands, the brave Lemurians quickly cleared their way. For the thickest plants, there was a vajra.
Gradually, after walking about five hundred meters, they found themselves at the reservoir. It was a river, with a rocky bottom and a fast, rushing stream that went somewhere to the right, and perhaps – so Luana suggested – turned into a waterfall.
«We need to stop here,» Shea warned in a chant.
Luanu obediently took off his backpack and sat down on the bank, where dwarf ferns grew from the ground. He took out a flask of water and began to drink greedily. She and she were wearing thermal suits, and it was already starting to get hot.
Shea pulled out a neat rectangular case made of an alloy of polymers – the prototype of modern plastic – from his backpack, opened it, took out an object from a rare crystalline
