“Woww!!”, Ryan was amazed.

“Woah …”, Nick murmured.

“This is not the time to enjoy the view and scenery”, scolded Adam.

Everyone was astonished by what they saw, even Adam. But they still would have to carry out the mission they were supposed to. Soon after, Adam had placed a scanning device into the ground and it started scanning the area. Nick was holding a device which projects a hologram of the terrain.

The results are as follows. The planet was filled with all sorts of plants and animals; from insect looking creatures to dinosaur like animals. There were rivers, waterfalls, hills and various types of terrain. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet were all present in the plants, trees and wildlife out here. There were plenty of natural resources such as ores, minerals and rare elements that would’ve been impossible to be found on Earth.

“The conditions … are … almost PERFECT!!!” Adam shouted in excitement.

Later, they started setting up their base and moved a lot of their equipment there. This took a few hours and they were exhausted. Nick then pulled out a special device that would check the composition of the air. As Nick held up the device into the air, there were some loud beeps being produced.

“67% Nitrogen

32% Oxygen

0.85% Argon

0.1% Carbon Dioxide

0.05% > Other gasses”, the device screen displayed.

“Wow, the air composition is very similar to Earth’s air”, Ryan was surprised.

Without hesitation, Ryan immediately took his helmet off and took a deep breath. Nick tried to stop him.

“Ryan, Don’t!” Nick screamed at the top of his voice.

“Huuuuhhh”, Ryan exhaled.

Ryan felt the fresh air in his lungs and quickly took a few more deep breaths.

“Ryan, why did you do that? It could be quite dangerous due to the face that we aren’t fully sure it is safe”

Suddenly, Ryan started to take deep breaths rapidly.

“Guys take off your helmet and enjoy the fresh air!” Ryan suggested.

“Well alright, I’ll take it off and give it a go”, Adam responded.

Adam slowly and cautiously took off his helmet, and took a deep breath. Adam’s eyes grew in an instant as if he had taken some drugs. Right after that, Adam also began breathing abruptly.

“Nick you also should take off your helmet and experience the fresh air”, Ryan recommended.

“Yes! Quickly take it off!” Adam added.

Nick was looking a bit baffled. He didn’t really understand why they suddenly acted like this. But nonetheless, he didn’t think breathing the air could cause much harm, since it was already verified that it contained oxygen which is essential for humans. Just when he was going to take it off, Adam and Ryan’s bodies started to shake and tremble. Their mouth cavities were filled with some liquid and were almost about to burst. Their faces started turning pale white and soon after, a yellowish liquid was shot out as it bursted. It was like an endless stream filled with pus.

Nick was immediately traumatized and disgusted. He quickly held them up and tried to call them, seeing if they were conscious. Unfortunately, they died right after. Nick started being really fearful and scared. His autistic nature started to overtake his consciousness. Then, his consciousness soon fell into a never ending void and fell out of reality. His body just sat on the ground and hugged his own head, covering his face.
