We were talking about nothing in particular when Belle did the electronic equivalent of clearing her throat, signaling that she had something to say. We both looked in the direction of the bridge, and I said, “Go ahead, Belle. What is it?”

“There is something you should see.”

We both expected another unsettling life-form. And that’s what we got. A couple of them. More tentacles extending out of the forest. And something in a river, of which we could make out only a pair of eyes rising above the water. “Not exactly a place to spend the weekend,” said Gabe, going back to his eggs.

“No!” said Belle. “I wasn’t referring to the river.”

There was a lander on the ground, or maybe a small interstellar. It was at the edge of the forest, almost in the river, partially concealed by trees and shrubbery. We were moving quickly past it. “Get a lock on it, Belle,” I said. “Don’t lose it.”

Gabe was leaning forward, trying to get a better look. “It’s been there awhile. Are we going to be able to find it again?”

“I have it,” said Belle.
