EL PLANETA
En la nave espacial Arquímedes, que orbitaba el recién
descubierto planeta, el capitán al mando estaba expectante. En breve debían
recibir información del equipo de hombres que había descendido al nuevo mundo.
Si tenían éxito, y confirmaban que
la vida en él era posible, podrían regresar a la Tierra para comunicar la buena
noticia. De lo contrario, la humanidad estaba condenada a seguir viviendo en un
planeta contaminado, sin recursos y al borde del colapso.
En la hora convenida, comenzó la
transmisión. Tras escucharla, el capitán dio orden inmediata de abandonar el
planeta, dejando atrás al equipo de desembarco ante el estupor del resto de la
tripulación.
A nadie dio explicaciones. Ninguno
de los pocos que escucharon el último mensaje del único superviviente de la
misión al planeta sobrevivió unos pocos días. La mayoría acabó suicidándose.
Salvo uno, que se volvió demente y que nada pudo decir de lo que habían visto.
En el planeta, otra vez abandonado
de la presencia del hombre, unas enormes criaturas de forma romboidal y largos
tentáculos miraban al cielo como nunca antes lo habían hecho. Desconocían la
presencia de entes fuera de su propio entorno, y aquella visita inesperada les
había abierto el ansia de conocer que había más allá de sus cielos. Además, de
donde habían venido los visitantes debía haber miles, sino millones más… Las
formas romboidales comenzaron a trabajar para viajar tras el misterioso objeto
plateado que había orbitado sobre ellas. Lo seguirían… hasta su origen. Allí,
con seguridad, encontrarían más apetecible alimento.
Devoraron los restos del último de
los expedicionarios terrestres, y comenzaron a fabricar el aparato que les
permitiría caminar a través de los vacíos espaciales.
THE PLANET
In
the spacecraft Archimedes, which
orbited the newly discovered planet, the captain in charge was watchful. In a
short time, they should be informed by the team of men who has just gone to new
world.
If
they will get sucessful,and then they will confirm life is posible there, they
could come back to the Earth to advise the good new. Otherwise, humanity was
doomed to continue living in a polluted planet, without resources and on the
verge of collapse.
At the appointed time, the transmission began. After the capitain listened it, he captain gave immediate orders to leave the planet, leaving the team landing to the amazement of the rest of the crew.

He didn´t give any explanations to anyone. None of the few who heard the
last message of the sole survivor of the mission to the planet survived a few
days. Most of them were finally suicide. Except one, who went insane and he
couldn´t say any about they had seen.
On the planet, again abandoned by the presence of man, huge diamond-shaped creatures and long tentacles looked at the sky like never before done. They didn´t know presences of bodies outside their own environment, and this unexpected visit had opened the anxiety of knowing that lay beyond its skies. In addition, where they had come visitors should have thousands, but millions more...

The
diamond shapes began working for travel after the mysterious silver object
which had orbited about them. They will follow them... to its source. They will
find surely more palatable food there.
They devoured the remains of the last of the land expedition, and they began to manufacture the device that allow them to walk through empty space.
