Some planets are actually large gaseous bodies.
The unnamed planet that chance, or fate, or providence, or Fah
for fludruviani, had chosen for us, was one of them,
and we were on one of its moons, with a breathable atmosphere for
all six, and an impressive, lush forest.
No traces of civilization for the entire perimeter

We found a lake fed by a stream coming from
mountain peaks we saw in the west, and there we stopped,
having all need water, and having three wounded to care
(Ohn the betantino, Perranzow Athsy the male of the pair, and Monica, the female human).

but these were not provided substantial amounts of preservative and food for our species, given the paucity of travelers

Ohn cedessimo claimed that even our ration Fentaj

of the assertions made by medical science. While
Sanjai seemed to have no problems eating,
seen that the forest was full of insects literally, I could not find
herbs, roots, fruits or animals that could be compatible with our physiology
or raw or cooked:
than I had found a pear-shaped root that grew
at the foot of some trees which had infused a low toxicity, and we could assume

Well, not really something we must eat, although I remember
atmospheres and situations that are familiar in some pub on the ground. After a week
Perranzow was made worse,
Maunzaw, his wife, did nothing but cry,
Monica delirious prey to fevers, and
Ohn was not clear whether or not delirious. Only
Sanjai was even a bit 'greased
- for him it was like to be finished in the middle of a buffet-
but was very sorry for us, and had even tried to help in the hunt,
but with bad results, since avvelenva prey that took ...

and perhaps they will speak to you, sooner or later.
The night was cold and wet, and I was making my turn to sleep before the fire,
while the others slept, when I was overcome by fatigue and fell asleep.
When I awoke,
light filtered through a thin blades in the reed hut.
Outside, drums and voices of an unknown language. I looked around.
Monica was lying next to me, a grin on his face,
and a strange green goo spread on her shoulder wound.

Nor do I regret having challenged a bamboo spear

But this I could not explain it to them: the

Well, not always travel in space have success.
Maybe I should have realized that, really, the war H'rtty affects us all,
without exception, and that is not an event so distant and unreal as it may appear from
safety of our living room chair while we see on television. Please
the emotional skip the next paragraph and proceed to the next.
The liner was confined to accomplish his usual route, the same land over the past decade,

not related to the curvature of space as you might think from the name).

So, that just six months earlier would have been a safe route,

other parts involved in this unique war.

other exploding for the bump, others quickly began the phase of cocooned
that accorded to their own races to colonize more planets, others tried to
holophonic or send a message to their loved ones.
As for me, I had become resigned to an early and unexpected end of everything.
When all of a sudden something hit me in the back, and I thought

While wandering in space after the wreck, I repeat
for those who skipped the paragraph,
something hit me in the back, and to my amazement I discovered that it was
a lifeboat 'Inflatable' to Rescue
also flown from the ship (actually is not puffed up, but expands
a cube of about 80cm from the side of a real shuttle, albeit small
and essential).
With the strength of diperazione I pulled the handle and climbed on board, and I
laboriously maneuvered through the luck succeeding in rescuing a
arachnoid Metrakon of 6, a betantino

Athsy (a kind of whitish and hairless apes), and

H'rtty and Nurry.
E 'was Sanjai, the arachnoid, telling me to press the 'panic button' that really saved us.
The panic button,
explain it for those who had never been in a wreck or other emergency
during space travel,
is a button which is located on the media, such as boats, they have a certain probability
to be in extreme situations, such as

end up in a solar system in collapse,
be devoured with the vehicle and everything from one of these ancient creatures and gigantic galactic

astronauts, being chased by an entire military fleet,
or be in the middle of the crossfire of two opposing fleets,
as in our case.
Often confused with a transporter system,
the Panic Button is a rather irrational accelerator subatomic particles

at a speed unthinkable in the direction it is pointed at the vehicle.
