“Captain’s log. Stardate 12345. USS…”Do you have a name? It feels weird to keep calling you Ship.It is what I am.But is it your name?I do not have a name, Layla.Would you like one?Perhaps. I will consider it.“If it wasn’t for Ship I would have lost track of the days. There is no day or night in space. Simply unending blackness filled with faraway stars and distant planets-”And the occasional meteor.“And the occasional meteor. Fortunately Ship gave me access to some of the other rooms aboard her. A bunkroom. A kitchen. Sort of. A locker room. And, most importantly, a bathroom. All small – cramped, in fact – and kind of boring but functional. The locker room was the most interesting as it was filled with an assortment of alien technology including four more space suits, one blue, one red, and black, and one green. And what appear to be weapons. Hopefully I won’t need them.”Skye.Skye?I have given it some thought. I would like to be referred to as Skye. It seems appropriate and I… think it’s pretty.Skye it is. Also, we are approaching a planet with conditions favorable to human life forms. Please draw your attention to the screen.It looked a little like Earth. At least the colors did. Green and blue. There we more continents than on Earth, though, and they were a lot smaller. More like hundreds of large islands upon a vast ocean.I thought you might enjoy seeing it.I don’t suppose we could land? It would be nice to stretch my legs and maybe explore a little.I am not sure that would be wise.Pretty please, Skye?There was a long moment of silence as if the ship was calculating the risks involved. Finally Ship – Skye– came to a decision.There are life forms. Impossible to ascertain if they are hostile. I will set down somewhere remote so you can ‘stretch your legs’. Briefly.You’re the best.The landing was smooth. Skye let me watch on the vid screen as she entered the atmosphere and set down on one of the smaller islands. It was surprisingly familiar. Like a tropical Pacific island. I found myself lamenting that I hadn’t packed my bikini.Accessing Earth fashions. Bikini. Two-piece swimsuit. Change into the blue suit.The blue suit?The silver that you are currently wearing is programmed for flight. The blue is programmed for recreation. The red is for combat, the green is for exploration, the black for espionage.I don’t understand.I am reprogramming them so that I am in complete control of their functions until you become more familiar. Just change. Trust me. So I did. I changed. Just like the silver suit I’d been wearing it fit me like a second skin leaving Bostancı Escort nothing to the imagination. Unfortunately, there was no one with me to appreciate my reincarnation as mouth-watering eye candy. Layla Lovejoy. Sexy sci-fi pin-up babe. Too bad there’s no mirror…The air shimmered in front of me. Not a mirror. Better. A 3D holographic image of me that slowly rotated so I could see myself from all angles. Wow. I do look pretty hot, don’t I.Very hot.I don’t blush often but Star’s words did warm my cheeks a little.So. How does this work?Simple. You tell me what you want and I reprogram the suit.Okay. Bikini.I felt a sensation. A very brief one. The hologram was suddenly wearing a bikini. So was I. It was still blue, like the suit, but most of the suit had disappeared, leaving a lot of skin exposed. Damn.Damn indeed.Will I need to wear the fishbowl?Helmet. And no. The atmosphere, while humid, is breathable. In the drawer marked S’lurd Vah there is an ear insert. Wear it so I can remain with you if you wander out of range.You know none of these are in English, right?I forget. The second drawer down on your right. It is also fit with a translator.I found what looked like a very tiny silver golf ball and slipped it into my ear. I couldn’t even tell it was there.Any language in my files will automatically be translated.What if it’s not in your files?Then, at first, it will be gibberish. My program is very advanced. It will learn any new language it picks up very quickly. Sometimes a matter of minutes. Usually, however, it takes longer. Ten of your Earth minutes is standard. Can I take one of the cool-looking rayguns with me?You’re not trained in their use.Point and shoot, right? Pew pew pew.No, you may not.Killjoy.Stay within visual range, please.Yeah, okay.Skye had been joking, not that I had doubted her. The air was humid. By the time I’d scaled down the ladder I was already damp with perspiration. Unlike the previous planet, this one looked fairly normal. Almost earth-like. What I imagined the Amazonian jungles to be like. Lush, green, and full of strange flowers and plants and buzzing insects which I hoped were harmless, although I think Skye might have mentioned it to me if they weren’t. It was actually beautiful in a primal way.In the near distance, I could hear running water and the sound of a fall? It was hard to tell. Falls usually meant pools, though, and the idea of a swim excited me. Carefully picking my way through the vegetation I walked until I came upon a small river and Bostancı Escort Bayan within sight of a small waterfall. I felt a little bit like Indiana Jones. Only without the fedora and the whip.I had guessed right. There was a pool. Clear blue water. Lots of moss. Or something that looked like moss. Flowers, too. Weird-looking ones. And fish. Fish-like things, at least. I’m not sure I’d want to eat one. At least they were small. Worst they could do was nibble my toes. I decided to take a chance and waded out into the water. They seemed more scared of me than I was of them so I relaxed a little and went out further so I could swim and cool off a little.I think we’ve discovered paradise.Is that what you want to name it?Name it?The planet. For my files. AAxara 410 seems dull.Paradise it is.Relaxing, I let my feet leave the bottom of the pool and fell backward, floating peacefully on the surface. It was blissful. In no hurry, I stayed like that for at least a quarter of an hour, gazing around at my surroundings. The ‘insects’ look more like something you’d expect to find at the bottom of the ocean than flying around in the air.I felt a tickle on the bottom of my foot. Apparently, the fish-things had gotten over their fear and had become curious. Giggling, I rolled over in the water and pushed my face under so I could see beneath the surface. It was covered with small stones of various shades of blue.You should see this. It’s beautiful. Paradise is a perfect name.I rolled over again and stood, the water coming up to my chest. I watched as a small serpent with iridescent pink scales slid into the water at the far end of the pool.Skye?Yes?There’s a snake…Harmless. Do not worry, Layla. I am monitoring you. Also, I am working on a surprise for you when you return.A surprise? What is it?If I told you it wouldn’t be a surprise.I watched as the snake-like serpent sent ripples through the water’s surface. Heading, not towards me, but close enough to make me nervous despite Skye’s assurance. As it swam past I could see it more clearly. While it resembled a snake it was clearly alien. It had six luminous orange eyes. And fins. It also had small arm-like appendages that ended in claw-like hands, two fingers on each. Fascinated I watched it glide past me and then disappear into the mists of the small falls. Curious, I decided to investigate.I followed it cautiously. While I’d never been particularly scared of snakes I’d also never seen one with six eyes and arms. Ducking under the water, I went beneath the falls and was surprised Escort Bostancı to find a small cave hidden behind them. The entrance was mostly underwater, but there was enough space for me to raise my head so I could breathe if I decided to explore.I found a cave. I’m going to have a look.Be careful.I will.The entrance was small. Too small for me to stand up without bumping my head, so I propelled myself horizontally, guiding myself with my hands against the narrow walls which seemed to be covered in lichen or moss or some sort of otherworldly growth that glowed a soft blue giving me enough light to see where I was going. It was strangely beautiful, as was the entire planet. At least that part of what I had seen. Paradise had been the perfect name.Eventually, the cave opened up into a grotto about the size of my apartment back on earth. Again, the walls were covered with light giving growth. There was no sign of the serpent. There was, however, a smooth flat slab of some kind of metal that seems to float on the surface in the center of the cavern. I swam closer. I looked out of place. Definitely man-made. Alien-made? Whatever. Along the edges were symbols much like ancient hieroglyphics.I found something. Writing? I wish you were here to translate it.Your signal is weak, Layla. What did you find?I could barely hear her myself.Writing. Never mind. I wish I had something to take a picture with.Next time.I touched it. It was cold. Colder than I would have expected. Like it had been sitting in a refrigerator until just now. Shivering, I moved away. The ceiling was tall enough for me to stand again. This time the water only rose above my hips. Unlike the strange object, it was comfortably cool. Almost pleasant. Wading to water smoothed wall, I circled around until I found another small cave leading further into the rock. I decided to explore further. It had become an adventure. Once again, the walls were lit with the bioluminescent plants or whatever they were. Once again it was too narrow to walk. Not that I would have. Swimming was much more pleasurable.The waterway curved slightly several times before bringing me to another cavern, this one larger – much larger – than the previous one and covered, not with blue glowing flora but with a variety of colors. Blues, greens, purples, and pinks. It was breathtaking.I wish you were here to see this.Skye didn’t answer this time. I wondered if she was busy or, more likely, out of range. Unlike the previous cavern, this one had a ‘shore’. Not only that but there was a small island in the center. Also, the water seemed noticeably warmer. I wondered if there was a hot spring feeding it. Perhaps from beneath? Also, the water here was much deeper. I tried standing but I couldn’t feel the bottom which suited me fine. After being on the ship for so long it was nice to be able to stretch my legs, so to speak.
