The next morning I woke up with Brandon shaking me. I opened my eyes and looked around for a few minutes and saw that he had all of our bags ready to go.

"Good Morning. Time to hit the trail and try to figure out how to get in and fit in." He said.

I yawned and nodded, "Okay. Why did you let me sleep so late? I would have helped you get ready" I said.

"I know. Breakfast is ready so as soon as we eat we can lockup the ship and put it into low power mode" he said, walking over to the small dresser and grabbing the gray clothes I had set out for that day.

As I pulled the covers off and took my clothes from him, he smiled at me. I rolled my eyes at him and started to quickly get dressed as he stood there watching.

"What time is it?" I asked, pulling my shirt over my head.

"It's just after dawn" he said.

Once I was done dressing I grabbed a brush and quickly pulled it through my hair, "I wonder if the women here wear makeup" I said, trying to decide if I should put some on quickly.

Brandon shrugged, "I don't know. I say don't wear it until we find out if it is a normal thing here. You would look less conspicuous without it when women do wear it, than wearing it when they don't even have it here" he said.

I nodded, "Okay. I'll go to the bathroom and meet you in the kitchen" I said, standing up and walking past him.

Once I was done with my morning duties in the restroom I walked into the kitchen where he had an easy breakfast ready. I sat down at the table and quickly ate without speaking. Once we were done eating, we walked out of the ship and using the portable device that controlled it, locked it up and set it to sleep mode.

Sleep mode was a new feature that they hadn't had before on any of our previous space ships or rockets. It would use very little energy, but still run enough power to keep the freezer working and the water tanks pumping so that they don't stagnate.

I looked over at Brandon and watched as he sighed, "Are you ready?" he asked.

I shrugged, "Not really, but we have a mission." I said, scared of what would happen once we left this safe spot behind the waterfall.

"It will be okay. You will see" he said, taking my hand and pulling me toward a gap in the waterfall that would take us back out to the grassy hills around the lake.

We started walking, heading in the direction that we had seen the closest colony of people. Brandon had estimated that the walk should only take us a few hours and so we walked most of the way in silence. It wasn't until Brandon noticed something up on the other side of one of the hills that he finally spoke.

"Do you see that?" he asked, pointing to the hill closest to us.
