Expedition

Cederic’s team is heading back to the world of life. But none of them want to go back to there. Unfortunately, the captain has told them to return for more information. Specifically, he wants to know more about the life on the planet. Will the team be able to steer clear of the winged serpent? Or will the monster claim their shuttle to gather the requested information?

“Why are we heading back to the planet, Cederic?” Sybell asked with her shoulders hunched over her scanner.

Cederic studied his controls before answering, “Because the captain told us to get more information about those life signs.”

“What did you do to get him angry?”

Scoffing, Cederic angled the ship for atmospheric entry muttering, “I wish I knew.” As they eased into the clouds, Cederic altered course for the densest source of life asking, “What’s the status of that winged monstrosity?”

“I would have told you about it, if I saw it,” Sybell retorted.

“A simple nothing to see would have sufficed, Sybell,” Cederic rebuked. Pulling up the sensor logs, Cederic realized the patch of life as a battlefield. He maneuvered the craft for excellent visibility while remaining unseen. Flipping his comms channel open, he barked, “Tegan, Jeras, and Ronald get ready.”

“Why are we risking our necks like this again?” Tegan asked.

“Because the captain said so,” Sybell spat.
