Planet C55708 or Eygranaskadonov
( In native language ) is a planet located in a solar system far away from Sol.
It takes 2 months of travel for the fastest spaceship to get there. The solar
system contains a star, 3 planet located near the star, a gas giant, an
asteroid belt, and an ice planet. Recently, a scan on the ice planet’s surface
reveals that there is an ocean beneath the thin layer of ice.
After it is consindered by many
scientists, a satellite containing probes is launched there. As the satellite
uses the latest technologies, the travel time is reduced to only a month. Few
days ago, the satellite reached the solar system. The probe is soon deployed
after the satellite reaches the planet.
The probes survives the
atmospheric entry and manages to enter the ocean below. The probes collected
samples of the water near the hydrothermal vents and reveals that there is
indeed some microorganisms that thrives there.
However, life do comes in many
sizes in the planet. There appears to be something the size of a whale that
swallows a probe that travelled too far away. The satellite soon sends a
command to the probe to stop exploring the vents and to venture throughout the
ocean.
One of the probes discovers that
in the equatorial region of the planet, there is no layer of ice. Even a
continent appears to exist there. It is now known that a change in the star
size causes enough heat to melt the equatorial region. The change also appears
to destroy a planet located very close to the star.
Meanwhile, another probe finds a
large field of multicellular organisms that is similar to tube worms in the
hydrothermal vents. It is soon concluded that the “tube worms” takes the role
of autotrophic organisms in the planet.
The probe later finds a large
herd of crab-like animals that feed exclusively on the “trunk” of the
autotroph. This leaves the “leaf” part untouched. However, the probe finds a
light source nearby. It was apparently, a massive group of manatee-like
animals. It eats the “leaf” by cutting them using small appendages near their
mouth. The manatee-like organisms appears to lack eye. Instead, it communicates
using bioluminescence. Instead of ears, the herbivore have rows of “lumps” in
their back that they use as an audio receptor.
Somehow, both herds starts to
swim away. A pod of a sleek, shark-like animals smaller than the “manatees”
appears. An individual that appears to be the leader flashes his
bioluminescence organs in a certain
order. The other individuals replies. The pod soon moves toward a “manatee”
that is left behind.
The pod then splits, confusing
the prey. The leader then open it’s “jaw”. The “jaw” appears to be flexible,
similar to a snake. The pod soon clamps into the “manatee”’s gill-like organ.
Within few minutes of struggle, the prey dies.
However, a larger predator wanted
the prey for itself. The unknown animal suddenly uses it’s tongue-like
appendage at the pod leader. The pod flees as the predator kills the leader.
The probe disguises itself and manages to take a sample of the predator’s
tongue liquid. It appears that the tongue is actually an appendage to poison
other organisms.
Meanwhile, another probe finds a
far large “underwater forest” in the equatorial region. The forest is different
as it’s composed of photosynthetic organisms. The probe also found a herd of
bizzare aquatic organisms that have a niche similar to a sauropod’s. Nearby the
herd, a gigantic filter-feeder can be seen resting. It is revealed that the
animal that accidentally ate the probe was the filter-feeder. A brown animal
appears to rest in the branch. It appears to stare at the probe as if it was
just another organism. Thinking that it was a sophont, the probe shows a
hologramic message. Because of the mistake, the animal captures the probe and
destroys it.
And so the days of exploration
continues. The animals in the planet appears to be bizzare, yet their niches
are quite similar to terran niches. From dinosaurian analogues to platypus and
camel analogues, hundreds of new animals are discovered by the probes. However,
there is one certain thing. There appears to be no sophont.
That is, until a probe discovers
that the weird mounds of materials are actually an underwater city. The
satellites then re-assigns the probes to venture deeper into the underwater city.
There is one problem for sure, the scientists can’t be entirely sure how to
made the first contact to work well…

I’m now searching for interesting
articles in one of the most reliable data resource in this planet. The news are
still usual. Most of them are about land colonization, and that a complete
fossil of an extinct order of animals are found. Just that, it’s a boring day
isn’t it.
I then searches in the search
engine for sophont concepts. Nothing appears to be weird. They appears to be
just like us with few differences. I mean, is there something quite bizzare
like a four-limbed organisms that communicates using weird appendages, and that
their appearance is so weird, that even our language can’t exactly describe
them.
I then saw that there appears to
be some round metal object in the zoo.Yeah right, probably some of the more
common hoaxes. However, a video of it shows that it tries to communicate with
an animal said to have high intelligence, almost a sophont. The hologram shown
also appears to have a bizzare planet, and that the sophont on it have a
uncomprehensible form.
Suddenly, there was a small
earthquake. I walked away from my house and found that a “spaceship” lands in
the neighbour’s house. More “spaceship” can be found through all cities in the
world, and it was apparently on the news too. I then approaches the hologram
and saw the sophont’s information.

An unmanned submarine manages to
do the first contact. However, it causes the sophonts to be scared. There
appears to be enough information for the mission to be finished. Soon, the
mission is finished and there were no humans or any human tools left behind.
However, one questions remains. What if, instead of humans exploring the
planet, we have the sophonts doing so to Earth.
