This new planet was beautiful. It was really big; in some ways it looked somewhat like earth. We had landed it what looked like just at open range of nothing but an ocean, lots of grass, and some strange looking trees. In some ways it looked like it could harbor humans, but the only down side to this planet was that there was no oxygen on it. There were quite I few different chemicals but none to support human life, though we could set up oxygen domes so we could still live on the planet, that of course would have to be taken up with many different officials back on earth. We took the rover out of the ship and set up the shuttle teams to scout the planet for any traces of life. One team would stay here and take samples from the ocean and other surrounds. The other team members would scout out a perimeter of a large area for signs of life or potential danger. So the two teams set out to do there work on the planet.
Author Note
For the rest of the time on the planet I will split the reading into two stories, Team 1 and Team 2 so you the reader do not get confused. So when a paragraph ends the next will have a caption of team 1 or team 2 so you know whom we are talking about. Now back to the story.
Team 1
Well now that we were on this new planet we had to find out as much as we could about to find new things. "Alright guys now we will split into another two teams. Team A will be Roger and myself and Team B will be Vince and John." I said. "Roger and myself will take samples from the ocean and you two will go over to that rocky and forestry area." "Alright team lets move." "Do you think its wise to split up the teams so thin like that," Roger said as we were driving towards the ocean side. "We'll be fine, I said. "By the looks of it, there's nothing here. No intelligent species, just an empty planet." We got to the ocean side and pulled out the test tube and other equipment. Roger went a couple of yards away by some murky water while I collected samples of the clearer and what looked like fresh water.
