‘Breath and focus’ The astronaut was standing still, not moving a single muscle and staring at the creature in front of him. He was glad that the front window of his helmet was toned to reflect any light from the outside, so that this something in front of him couldn’t see his terrified expression.
It’s been a few weeks now since this project started. Sphintus and a team of few talented people were supposed to collect rocks and liquids and whatever they would find on this planet. X-35Octa wasn’t a completely unkown planet to them. They’ve send several satellites and probes onto the surface before starting their mission, and all results showed negative data of living here. The more surprising is his blind date with the species in front of him. It was almost looking too human. Black, long hair in braids and a slim human body shape. Different where the glowing red eyes, the unhealthy looking pale skin and the golden rings around neck, wrist and ankles. He was floating as well. Sphintus just wanted to check on his little plant farm he was trying to grow outside of the station. The oxygen in the atmosphere of this planet isn’t enough for a human to breath - so he’s wearing a light armour with his round bubble helmet - but his modified, augmented seeds would be able to use other elements in the atmosphere to grow. Sadly he couldn’t check on them anymore for now. He was completely frozen.
