The Mystery of Saronorai

[Bortelex]

Story

This is set in a universe with many secrets there are five races that inhabit this sector the Catorain,Forancath, Beckuthra,Asorcor, and Zerkont. For the most part these races live in a delicate harmony. The Catorain have never had a good relation ship with the Forancath. Asorcor and the Beckuthra have generally not seen eye to eye. Though through the hardships and struggles the races have managed to remain at peace with each other.

Transportation between the planets and spaceports is common place. About 1000 years ago all communication and space traffic stopped on the planet Saronorai the former Capital of the galactic union. At that time a team went to the planet to investigate, none were heard from again. No one has dared go to the planet since. An organization has now decided send a large reconnaissance mission to find out what happened on Saronorai to keep it from happening ever again.

As things stand now a group of five transports are being sent out one at a time. The first has already arrived on the planet and has set up the primary outpost. The second is about to close to the planet and will land in a day. The others are scheduled to arrive later.

Geretr sat back in the shade of a large tree enjoying the peace and quiet. He expected that when other transports arrived it would start to get rather hectic. So he used this time to get away from the others. Specifically his commanders.

Anticipation was building and Itsaso could feel the tension of the other passengers of the second transport sent to Saronorai. They would land soon and she was sure that everyone was overly curious about what they would discover. So far nothing deterring had come from the first transport sent out on this vital mission. Of course that could just signal a reprieve in the impending danger.

Itsaso wasn’t sure what to expect. All she knew that whatever was to happen that she would represent her people proudly. Heaving a deep sigh she stared longingly out of her cabin window, wondering what could have possibly left Saronorai desolate in terms of communication and trade with the rest of existence.

After relaxing for a bit Geretr started mingling around the camp. Some of the Catorain were exploring the nearby rivers and waterways. They had already wound a native source of fresh water. The Forancath that weren't guarding the camp were scouting out hunting areas and becoming familiar with the terrain in the nearby foothills. Not surprisingly in the opposite direction from the way the Catorain went. With the camp set up and ready the Beckuthra had run out of things they thought were worthy of their attention. Geretr thought that they almost wanted some great monster to attack the camp so that they could prove to every one that they were vitally important. The few Asorcor that had come with the first transport tended to keep to themselves and made open that they thought they weren't needed in the establishing party. As usual the leading Zerkont were having a heated argument about were to send the first large exploration groups. They would do this every day even though everyone knew that no big groups would be sent out until the second transport arrived. Geretr continued walking through the camp.

Rocky turbulence shook Itsaso out of her thoughts. Peering out of the cabin window she took in the sight of the transport breaking through the planet's ozone layer giving way to the view of rolling land littered with various waterways.

Before turning to exit her temporary home, a computerized voice rang out over the vessel's loudspeaker. "We will be landing in an hour, gather your things and be ready to join camp." The voice left after repeating itself several times.

Wasting no time Itsaso grabbed her pack that she had readied quite a bit ago and left to the ship's main commons. Anxious and more than ready to start this mission, she sat and fastened her seatbelt while staring out of a nearby window. 'Only a bit longer,' she thought.

A little more than an hour passed and the Catorain found herself on Saronai looking at their camp. Mostly everything had already been set up by the first group sent. Still there was a lot of extra supplies brought on the second transporter that would need to be added to the current provisions. Walking around Itsaso was happy to see many different races working together, but was deterred by the fact that simple biases were still prominent.

Geretr could almost sense the commotion in the air. People were all scurrying about, some looked like they didn't know where they were going or what they were about to do. He was sure what was going on though he looked up just to make sure. There it was, the second transport was arriving. He wished that eventually this wouldn't cause too much turmoil, but he wouldn't give his hopes up.

As things continued Geretr found that one had to keep moving to avoid getting run down by someone else. Mainly there were two groups those that were setting up more dwellings and those that were moving the supplies from the new transport to the holding areas. Geretr was part of nether group. Well, there was another group but he was not in it either. The leaders of the expeditions were meeting to discuss the current situation. He was sure that in a few days they would have some understanding about what was going to happen.
