World war three pretty much changed humanity. By the end of the war we pretty much mined the whole planet, killed off most species, and left the planet a desert wasteland. We used the last of the resources we got and evacuated the planet. Earth in later years would be brought back to life with terraforming technology. Which we manufactured while colonized on a distant planet, Holiux. The new government known as the United Federation of Humanity, would keep humanity going. Getting more advaced, making life easier and keeping rebellions back.

One thing is on the federations to do list. Find sentient beings.

These four best friends were currently entering a shift system. Its pretty rare to find a shift system with a planet it this is a different case.

"So- Said Daniel -you not only found a shift system with a planet, but, the planet is Goldilocks"?

"Yea and look, its mostly flatland, lots of dense forest, tall mountains, long rivers, and small oceans". He replied.

"Nice, how long until we land"?

"We should be going entering the system in five minutes and landing in fiffifteen".

"Okay. Also, can you contact the two idiots and get their ass's up here"?

"Yea, sure on it".

Down in the storage room.

Mykato was counting inventory while James was organizing the weapon stash. 'Hmm' he thought 'were running low on titanium plates. That could be a issue. Let's hope we don't take any major battle damage until we get to a market hub'.

" Mykato, James get to the deck". Said Alex overthe speakers.

"Why, were kinda doing something". He said checking over his SmartTab.

"We encountered a rather interesting shift system. Were going to go study it". He replied to hi Japanese friend.

"What's so special about it"? James asked while holding a heavy rocket launcher.

" its has a Goldilocks's planet". He said with excitement.

They both looked at him like he just smoked a pound of pot.

"Well, thats something you dont see everyday, okay well he right there." The screen turned off and they made there way to the deck

The doors to the deck opened and James and Mykato walken in. They sat down and began to warm up scanners and calibrate. The ship will be landing in six minutes.

"Okay, start thrustera and maneuver the ship to that valley over there". Daniel commanded pointing towards a flat field. The shipos thrusters began t spew out thrust slowing the decent.the ship entered the atmosphere with only minor turbalance. The landing struts start to unfoly and mechanuxally lock in place. The ship landing so fly while the struts suspension took most the force. The main and thruster engines died off leaving only the generater. The windows metal shield opened revealing the plexiglass and a view of the planet.

" wow what a view. Reminds me of Kola". Daniel recited.

"Well, before it exploded". James said receaving a punch from Alex.

"Well, we landed so lets gear up and scout the planet". Danieli said

.

"What about thew scanning and research equipment"? James said.

"Have a andriod bring it out. The more time we waate the less fresh air we breath". He said walking out the door towards the armory while be followed by his friends.

The four started to put on their advanced recon armor. Advanced recon armor is basically five layers of graphene digital black camp suit with some reinforced kelvar pockets. Also advance titaniam alloy armor covering vital areas like the chest and head. A smart HUD with VI's. Thee suits also have energy thrusters that take electrons from the air or collect energy from the sun to create electrical thrust for jump long distances and short flight, the suit also bends light to a point when a unit is activated thew suit can cloak or go invisible. Guns won't cloak unless it has the unit or isa on a magnet lock with the suit. The suit also has magnetive gloves and gravitybootsa making running faster then normal possible. The suits cost seven million credits each but worth it.

They took their guns and left.

Two hours later. They set up all the equipment and scouted the valley for anthing that can be a threat.

"Huh, that's weird". Alex's said.

"What? Did you look at the mirroragain"? Daniel replied

"Shut the fuck up, that's not what I meant. Look, that's notnatural".

"What is that? Looks like a bunch of squares". James said.

"Yea, it is a bunch of squares. Looks like a town". Daniel said.

"But were not in federation space. Also, this system is unexplored". Said the confuse alex.

"Might be a secret military base". Suggested james.

" nah, look, no electricity readings. And the boxa are not made of steel or concrete. Unless a ship got stranded here and built wooden housing these are not human". Alex replied.

"So....maybe it wasent built by humans". Saniel suggested.

" aliens"? Asked Mykatoy.

"Possibly, this coulde be a big find. We can sell the planet to the federation". Said James.

" yes maybe. Or we can make first contact. Firsat humans to meet aliens". Mykato said.

"What if their hostile"?

" we can take them. Lets juyat not cause violence. Dont want to fuck this up".

"Well lwta go to towwn".

" maybe we should go sonewhere else. Heere look, thier seems to be a city on the side of this mountain. Its made mostlyy of stone and marble. Might be a castle or a wealthy city". Alex said

"Okay we can head thier tomarrow. When everyone thier can see."

"What about thw language barrier"?

" well bring the ai. Well im gog to bed see you threetomarrowr."
