Sam briskly ran to her friend's house, eager to tell him what she had found. There were only two teenagers in this desolate town, which meant that the littlest thing of interest was a big deal to her. She quickly found her friend, Chris, and practically drug him across the town. "Sam! Stop it! I don't wanna see a stupid sand dune!" She stopped and turned around to face him. "Do you have anything else to do?" "No, but…" "Exactly! Let's go!" And with this, she was off. Chris shook his head and started to run after her. "I'll never understand that girl."
Sam stopped suddenly. "Here it is! Isn't it amazing?" Chris looked at it, then her. Something was wrong with this girl. "Sure Sam, sand dunes sure are amazing. I'm going home." She narrowed her eyes at him. "Don't you want to see if anything's in there?" There was a hint of danger in her voice that advised the young boy it was best to stay. He sighed. "Fine. I won't go." Sam giggled. "Well then, shall we start?"
They had been digging for about ten minutes when they hit it. "It" was something made of metal. Sam looked over at Chris. "You see? I told you there was something here." Chris looked up. This was big. "What if this is some kind of lost technology?" He looked down. It must be a huge chunk of machinery. He grinned. They were going to be rich. "What're you standing around for, Sam? Let's dig this thing up!" She laughed. "Hate to say I told ya so!"
Sam and Chris backed off from the massive thing and observed it again. It was getting dark and Chris was frustrated. "What is this thing?" Sam walked closer and put her hand on it. "Chris, I think it's a ship." The boy's eyes widened. "Like what everyone came over in?" "Yes…" Chris laughed. "This means… This means we're worth more than the $$60 man! I can finally get out of this town!" The girl was searching around the ship. "Ah, here it is." "Here what is?" Sam kept her eyes on the ship. "The door to get in."
"You don't actually plan to go in there, do you Sam?" She laughed. "Of course I do! Come on, I need backup." "Wait! That's dangerous!" She ignored him and walked in anyways. "I swear, that girl…" He figured he had no choice but to follow her, so he did. "Sam, where'd you go?" "I'm right here." Said a voice to the right of him. "I think I've found something…" "What?" Said Chris anxiously. The ship creped him out in the first place and the fact that it was dark scared him even more. Sam knocked on the mysterious object. "Its appears to be a giant vial…Oh my god, Chris." She turned around, dumbstruck. "It's a person."
"What?" He ran over to the vial. She had long, raven-colored hair and appeared to be in her twenties. "How can she be so young? I mean, this ship has never been opened on this planet… She's got to be at least a hundred years old." "Maybe she was forgotten?" Sam offered. "These things were thought to put people in a sort of coma that stops the aging process altogether." "So you think she's still alive?" "If the technology didn't fail." "Do you think you can open it?" She giggled. "Chris, who do you think you're talking to? My family's one of the best known lost technology experts. Of course I can open it."
