Greetings, .spacers.
There has been an update for those of you who have been following the mysterious
events regarding two alien probes, seen
here and
here.
Almost a month after some 300 sample-gathering probes landed on Earth, Deep
Space Probe Picard I
nearly collided with an unknown object that was hurtling in the direction of
Earth at speeds far exceeding anything Terrans have attempted for artificial
transports. Earth Central was put on Yellow Alert and recorded the flight path
of the object. The craft made a rough landing in the dense jungles of Africa
and a speedy VidBot was
sent out in pursuit from the nearest outpost. The preliminary dataphotos are as
follows:
Image 1
The alien probe had landed in much the same fashion as the sample-gathering
probe; roughly and without a chance of lifting off again. The craft apparently
took some damage during the landing.
Image 2
The hatch opening. Apparently the damage to the craft was minimal.
Image 3
A container being deployed. Sensor scans reveal no familiar structural
materials.
Image 4
The container being launched. Additional sensor scans reveal a carbon-based
lifeform is inside.
Image 5
The container broke on contact with the ground. The VidBot caught a brief
glimpse of the lifeform before it disappeared into the ground.
A few minutes later an Away Team arrived at the site but could find no trace of
the lifeform. The transport was confiscated and brought to T-SEC HQ, where it
was reassembled. Dataphotos of the craft can be found
here. The lifeform is
represented by the trans-orange object in the container.
The transport apparently traveled in two modes; deep space and atmospheric. In
deep space primary thrusters propelled the craft though space and Earth’s
atmosphere. After that, wings were deployed and the craft glided to earth. The
craft also had landing gear to right itself when the craft was at a full stop,
but they were inoperable due to damage inflicted during landing.
PLMKWYT...of this interesting turn of events.
