“There is a herd of those large grazing animals with the yellow and blue stripes about three hundred meters away. John says they are most likely harmless. Can you believe how furry and tall they are? Do you want to go watch them?”
“Not right now,” Jamie said.
“We do have to keep an eye open for those predators which knocked over the automacube. They have not been back since, but we could check out the tree line where they were first seen.”
“Not right now,” Jamie said.
“So Jamie, we have reached our destination. What should we do now?”
Jamie turned to Michael and kissed him passionately. She then pulled back and turned his head toward the horizon.
“Right now we watch the sunrise!”
At the opposite side of the sky from where the twin moons were seen, the horizon was just becoming lighter with shades of red and orange. Just coming up over the pristine forests that stretched away in the distance were the first rays of the sun. It was bright and warm with a few wispy clouds across the beams of sunshine. As the sun rose, the sky changed into more and brighter colors of blue. The orb’s heat could be felt as the sunlight fell onto the first two people to ever stand on Bounty’s land.
“Beautiful,” Jamie said.
“Yes, Jamie, today we can do anything!”
