Sorry for the hiatus. Lost access to DAZ and lost all my stuff with it, took a while to get it all sorted but continuing the story.

The flight was long and mostly boring but Dr O'Neil finally made it to Ceti Alpha. The shuttle to the surface was bumpy and landed in what appeared to be the middle of nowhere. A pair of Marines were waiting for her as she debarked.

"Dr O'Neil I presume?" asked one, walking towards her.

"I am, and you are?"

"Captain Mario Antonini, Marine Planetary Survey Team 42. This is Gunnery Sargent Onoya."

"Doctor," the Gunny nodded.

"What's with the artillery, Gunnery Sargent?"

"Sometimes the local mega-fauna decide we look tasty and we need to discourage them," he smiled.

"I thought that the biosystem here was completely incompatible, if something took a bite out of us it would get poisoned?"

"Very true, Doctor," Antonini said, grabbing one of her bags and stowing it in the back of the vehicle. "But they're also pretty dumb so we need to protect them from their own stupidity, as it were. Climb in, I've got a helmet for you on the front seat."

"Is someone likely to be shooting at us?"

"No, Doctor. The ride gets bumpy sometimes and this will protect your head. It's also a comms helmet so we can hear each other."
