I’m not sure what I was expecting. I skimmed through Narulian history, studied the different plant life, and even read a news update about the Badlands. But when we enter Narul’s atmosphere, I suddenly feel terrified.

​This is real.

​This is beyond real. This is more than being transported into a space alien’s research station dorm room. This is me traveling to a world that has never seen a human. A planet that has no females.

​What if they kill me?

​Even worse, what if they kidnap me and force me to mate with someone else?

​Marv is sorta starting to grow on me. Although, his admonitions of love are a bit premature. It’s been two days.

​The bright orange and purple atmospheric gases give way and we see the planet beneath us. Like Marv said, it’s mostly aqueous. There’s a brilliant blue colored ocean, complete with rising and falling waves that flow beneath us.

​Are there whales? Or other sea creatures? I should’ve read more.

At least the water seems right. There are small island land masses around the planet, with one large land mass in the middle.

​“Where do you live?” I ask.

​He points to the central mass of land. There are lakes and rivers surrounding the main city. As we approach, everything comes into clearer focus.

​The trees are bushier, but similar. They have bluish green leaves on them, though. The grass has a purplish color.

​Are we really this similar?

​“Wait, they breathe oxygen, right?”

​Marv laughs again. “We’re more alike then we’re different. All the tribes originated from one master family. Yours is just the recessive one, but other than that, you need the same air, water, and amount of food. Although, the food will be different.”

​I nod. There isn’t much more I can do at this point. We’re here.

​Marv talks into his radio comm device, announcing our arrival. “General Marv to Base. Incoming.”

​General?

​He did say that he had an important job at the space station.

​“Looking for private landing. Need to speak with the King, of immediate importance.”

​“Land in Zone 14.”

​Marv understands where that is and takes us down. We land in a small patch of pinkish grass next to a large building.

​“Let me do the talking,” Marv says as I stand. My legs feel like jelly.

​Suddenly, my stomach lurches. Is this how I’ll feel after all space travel?

​“I need to throw up,” I tell him.

​He guides me to the bathroom on his ship, where I lose my breakfast. Once I’ve cleaned my mouth, I join him.

​“Okay. I’m ready.”

​“You’re okay?”

​“First time entering a planet’s atmosphere. I guess I’ll get used to it?”

​“That’s my female.”

​“No, we say ‘That’s my girl.’”

​“Mmm. As long as you’re mine, I’ll say whatever you want.”

​Touché.
