Site 13's SCP Sandbox

Ad Astra Tale #1

CHAPTER 1

Dead ahead is the tenth planet of Eris. Dr. Danvers and his two crew mates were selected to explore the planet in their Semi-autonomous Exploration Vessel Juno-006. The previous exploration gave little help to the researchers back on Earth. SEV J-006 was sent further investigate the planet..

"Hey Doc, check this out." said junior researcher Carson Baits. Carson was sitting in the ship's kitchen which was just behind the bridge.

Danvers turned his head to see that the young researcher was reading a book about about quantum physics, which Danvers knew Baits knew nothing about.

"Bachelor's degree, strap your self in. Landing on SCP-XXXX in T-minus 17 minutes." said OTF Operative Ryan Clark. He had been with the Foundation since leaving the United States Space Force.

The crew lands on a rocky surface that looks very similar to diamond. They put on their Foundation commissioned EMU suits. Dr. Danvers checks the air while Baits fascinates himself with the diamond like surface. Clark unstraps the repulsorlift bikes. Danvers concludes that the air is made of water vapor and helium.

Standing at the bridge viewport of the vessel, Clark watched as the Kent Tech Energy Scanner blinked indicating there were life forms nearby. "The computer read several life forms 5 kilometres north east."

"Perfect, I'm guessing its not human." Danvers responded.

"No. It's showing up as humanoid though."

"Baits, stay here and get the Geoscanner set up. Clark, bring out the bikes and two of those DC-15s plasma guns Croal wouldn't shut up about. We might need them."

Clark brings the bikes down and the two ride off across the diamond like rock, leaving Baits to set up the Kent Tech Geoscanner. Clark and Danvers discover that is a primitive alien colony. The duo welcomed by a trio of guards holding what appeared to be tridents. To their surprise the aliens could speak fluent English. They followed the aliens into their town, where they were surrounded by more of the aliens.

Baits was about done setting up the geoscanner. This device would help him and crew identify any know minerals within a two kilometres radius, though his SO always told him never to trust Kent Tech products. Baits always ignored him because everything he had used seemed to work.

Suddenly he heard a rock fall behind him. Turning around to see what it was, he saw two natives. Running to the cockpit, he grabs a gun and starts up the engines to full throttle. He makes his way towards the town that the others went off to. He set the ship down on a patch of what looked like grass out side of the village.
