CHAPTER 15: A New Old Friend

Jann opened her eyes and had to think for a moment to establish where she was. Soft morning light illuminated her surroundings and she could hear the sound of a waterfall lapping in the background. She realised she was in the bio-dome of Colony One, and had fallen asleep in the wicker recliner, after Gizmo had left. Jann breathed a gentle sigh of relief, stood up and looked around as she stretched her body. It was a beautiful morning in the bio-dome. And, compared to the horrors of Colony Two, it felt like heaven.

The familiar sound of Gizmo’s tracked wheels burst through the vegetation, and zipped over to her. “Ah Gizmo, good morning.”

“Sleep well, I trust?”

“Eh, no, not really, but it will do. Where are the others? Is it time for my shift?”

“Samir and Noome have just returned to rest. Kayden has been wandering around since first light.”

“Really?”

“As far as I can tell. However, there is something that has come to my attention. I have picked up a rover, travelling this way, about five clicks out.”

“Shit, when?”

“Just now.”

“Have you told the others?”

“Not yet.”

Jann thought about this. “This is not good. How much time before it gets here?”

“Twenty two point seven minutes, approximately.”

“Dammit. Tell the others, we had better get ready.”

Gizmo whizzed off as Jann raced for the Operations room.
