I got conscious very fast, but I had my eyes closed, I felt like if I couldn’t move, I tried to open my eyes and to start to move, but I screamed because the pain was too big, I felt like if mi body was knifed over and over again, my body was stunned, I barely felt the ground full of rocks and gravel, I managed to get my self on my back, I wasn’t able to move too much without suffering that pain that tortured me, after what I think was two hours, I got up as I could, trying to get up with anything near me, but there was nothing around me, there wasn’t any trees, hills, not even bushes, not even grass, the only thing I could see it was the mountains in the horizon and a clouded sky, but it was very strange, they were so much clouds, I moved in what I cloud do, moving the prototype with me to get to a better place to wait for my rescue, that if my colleagues knew where I was, after that I found a cave, I leaned on the side of it and put my hand in my stomach, the pain never left, I felt as if I was engulfed by flames, as if I was in the middle of a forest fire, my stomach had that type of pain, so I moved my hand and removed my lab coat that was a little burn after the incident, so as my shirt, I saw some strange marks going all around my body that extended from my back to my chest and covered part of my limbs, it had a form of like the roots of a tree that grew in my skin, after seeing the marks I touched again my stomach in a burn that appeared there, it was a very bad burn, so I used my burned lab coat and teared it up to make a makeshift bandage, using it to cover my wound, I didn’t know how much time passed since I waked up, I lost my sense of time, but I got out of the cave and it was already dark outside, full of stars, I went back into the cave and inspected the prototype, I had to take care of it, it was the only form that my colleagues knew where I was, after seeing it for a moment, I saw it had suffered some damage but it could still be used, but there was some issues, like the energy panel was broken and that some cables were ripped-off, but the generator was still working fine and the slides that restrict the prototype were mostly without damage, but even in this state was extremely dangerous to travel, and so I went to sleep, it was an unknown place for me, I didn’t knew the existence of a place like the one where I was, and so I closed my eyes with fear of what could happen in the next day.

  I waked up and felt a cold breeze, just like the one I felt after I got unconscious after the incident, then I decided to look up for the first time since I arrived, but what I saw wasn’t any better than where I was stuck, the sky was purple instead of blue, then I saw the “sun” but it was different, it was way too small for it to be, then I saw what it looked like the moon, but it wasn’t, and it wasn’t just 1, they were 4 more, 4 natural satellites, orbiting this planet, I couldn’t believe it, I ran back to the cave, who knows what things were outside, almost all of my knowledge was unusable at the moment, I was completely defenseless.

  The next day came and I started to get thirsty, I had to get water, I got out of the cave with that objective in my mind, I wandered around for what I felt were ages, I walked with the prototype on my back, searching some water, then I found a little river that looked like it extended from the horizon, I had too much thirst, I didn’t resist the urge and drink form it without a second thought, nothing happened to me so I took a little break besides the river, after which I decided to see where it ended, and after following the current for a while I saw how it ended in a small lake, surrounded by hat it look like glass pillars that were almost transparent, in which I saw my reflection, by body full of burns and strange marks that covered all of his body, it was very weird to see something like that in nature, so I approached it to look it better, seeing what it looked like sand and the pillars where not perfect, but isometric and merged in a very chaotic manner, then I saw something floating in the water, it looked like a flowers but it would be better if I described it as a small tree or a bush, small, thin and not so tall, but it had no leaves as if it was dead, It was very odd to see, but after all that walking I got thirsty again, and I drank the water from the lake this time, the cave was extremely cold, I had nothing of value that I left behind, and so after thinking of it a little, I decided to stay besides the lake.
