Commander Yamato was inflexible and relied more on intuition than on protocol. Protocol and rules were just means in a chess game. All that mattered was to place your pawns in the right place at the right time. But few were as visionary as he was and saw only a small piece of the chessboard without having a general view.
A tremor alarmed the entire staff, but it was only a section ring of the ship that was coming loose. The huge shopping mall and the huge technical center were becoming detached from the ship, which would remain in orbit for a return or evacuation.
John Harris, his two daughters, his son and his wife Lea were aboard their shuttle.
It would serve as a house and mobile home but also as a means of escape. The problem was the fuel. To go back into space and leave orbit, they had to refuel and that was one of the tasks of the future settlers: refining energy resources to fill up.
Obviously, in the event of a disaster, several shuttles would have to be sacrificed by transferring their reserves to the one that would take off. But this was forbidden and punishable given the cost and investment that the shuttles represented.
The Harris were the first to sit in the cockpit around a round table. The computer would take care of everything.
The designated site was the island-continent of Thenyaw to the south and east of Twin Island, the place where the first dragons lived and where the first dragons had lived, then joined by settlers [https://img.wattpad.com/515f958efdc1089443a203b84e823516632571f2/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f316b5f4d736c683756586b4377413d3d2d3837363738323434392e313630616461663036666561666631353636333032393235313935372e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
The designated site was the island-continent of Thenyaw to the south and east of Twin Island, the place where the first dragons lived and where the first dragons had lived, then joined by settlers. They had all fled together because there were mixed families and human children adopted by the dragons on a rescue mission. Some humans had had to be dragonized because of accidents, the only treatment that could save their lives by forcing cell growth. This was taboo but accepted as a force majeure. That's why they all evacuated.
The information is fuzzy and the planet should have been pulverized at least 2 years ago according to the restored database.
The information about the dragons or aliens on that planet caused a lot of interest for the staff and the commander and was also the object of fear for the settlers.
If there were any more of them??? What about bad guys?
Senior officers were given 3D printing codes to make weapons and John was also the mission security officer.
The ring slowly descended through the atmosphere, slowed down in its fall by huge deflectors that also served to guide the ring to the most suitable area for development.
The second ring also descended with the maintenance equipment and a small factory.
Once in place, this section was called the "Magus Tower"...
Small sections went to different locations to repair and reopen old infrastructure. In particular, a lighthouse overlooking a small port. It overlooked a lighthouse on another island, the Twin Island.
2 other rings broke off and landed on the Isle of Twins.

That's where I saw huge flaming rings coming down from the sky
L'anneau formait un dôme aviaire, comme une cage à oiseaux puis ce furent au tour des navettes d'atterrir [https://img.wattpad.com/84d8a5aa7db80b432f6c4f458e6f0213126c4f9f/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f5530567451654e4576624b426e413d3d2d3837363738323434392e3136306164623039356436373737356533343131313834313937342e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
The ring formed an avian dome, like a bird cage, then it was the turn of the shuttles to land.
We withdrew to the North East, in the hidden caves (Hidden)
We made a resolution to act like normal animals and blend in with nature and NEVER attack humans, run away and hide [https://img.wattpad.com/618dc33e39eeaa9d1deae203d4b23e4dfc6a8601/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f5730704a6e595f456d6e445f73673d3d2d3837363738323434392e313630616462313335373535366436663438303435353030323334372e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
We made a resolution to act like normal animals and blend in with nature and NEVER attack humans, run away and hide. This way they will not see any threat from us and the risk of confrontation will be lessened. At least that's what I thought...
They were scientists... not tourists...
Let's hope they're not executioners.
The kids are yelling, "We can run outside!!"
The shuttle and about 20 others detached from the ship and entered the atmosphere.
The landscape was beautiful and beyond their expectations, especially since it was teeming with life, and the atmosphere was natural, breathable and unpolluted.
They brushed against glaciers to get closer to the large lakes and flew over the Twin Rocks, two small mountains welded and planted in the middle of a freshwater delta that gave the name to this gigantic island [https://img.wattpad.com/9fddf07766c73243e2910788aa0768d89365af0e/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f445047394c466963557237774e673d3d2d3837363738323434392e313630616462326130393133323032363232303730333131323531302e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
They brushed against glaciers to get closer to the large lakes and flew over the Twin Rocks, two small mountains welded and planted in the middle of a freshwater delta that gave the name to this gigantic island. By way of comparison, the island must have been the size of Ireland.
After several maneuvers, they landed near an old military camp near the twin lakes, affected by John but also our hunting territory. Vicky, loved going there. That's where she was born and the place still keeps for her the smell of her missing parents. (All this in her head but it's better not to argue with a Gigantosaurus dragon... fortunately she was still small).
The location chosen by humans, on the shores of the twin lakes, would disrupt the local ecosystem but the entire planet [https://img.wattpad.com/6b0b8bab095f512483063c50b8375c15bcdf0e27/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4f6c75555a5a4d3564574d7450413d3d2d3837363738323434392e313630616462333564643234313965643537353230343135373736322e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
The location chosen by humans, on the shores of the twin lakes, would disrupt the local ecosystem but the entire planet.
"We're humans, move over, animals, we're coming..."
That was the feeling of our tribe. Invaders, super predators were stealing our world. We'd just been able to enjoy it in peace that now other problems were piling up.
The Harris kids were smiling up to their ears and already wanted to get in their swimsuits and go swimming in the lake.
John: "Not until we drop sonic bombs and the drones chase away the predators. We need to secure the area. I know you've been dreaming about going for a swim, but we have to be careful. We've been spotted like dinosaurs and humans are prey to them. And we don't know what's lurking in the depths of the lake.
There could be other, even more dangerous predators.
The mood quickly faded and John had to crack down. "Children, launch the drones."
The drones scared off all the big animals except Vicky, who was curious [https://img.wattpad.com/c21476b3f22859e4b640c354406c7a2f74714952/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f714873693537444b6f4e39415a413d3d2d3837363738323434392e313630616462336662396539383761623231313632323435343037352e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
The drones scared off all the big animals except Vicky, who was curious. He too wanted to enjoy the swim.
Luckily for him, when the sonic bombs fell around the lake, he was swimming deep, looking for carp and sturgeon. Fish had become his favourite food, spinosaurs being next on his list as well as crocodiles... To him, "fish" meant "who swims"...
