Primordial Evolution
On the outer reaches of human controlled space was planet Eddok, the planet was unexplored with a high chance of sentient life. There was a scheduled check for life within the next decade though anyone involved with the order was not expecting anything from the large green planet other than new plants and animals. Sure it could result in trillions of dollars but only a few people knew about this new planet and most of them were from the military, so the planet, for now, went unnoticed.
Above planet Eddok a ripple of energy tore through space before a silver beam of energy blasted down to the planet's surface.
On a military installation that was in charge of this sector, an alarm began to scream. First Lieutenant Dan Orland ran from the mess hall back to his station, looking down he typed in the access codes and read the report. His eyebrows rose and he quieted the alarms, he wrote a quick report and left for the captains quarters.
“Lieutenant Dan! Report!” came the captain voice just as the lieutenant came towards the office, he quickened his steps and entered he closed the door behind himself and saluted. “Sir, a large mass of energy just appeared over Eddok, a third of the sensors in that area were destroyed but whatever it was ripped a hole in space and shot towards the planet, the exact coordinates couldn't be confirmed but we have the general location.”
The captain took the report from his lieutenant and skimmed the files, “Good work, how soon will our landing vessel arrive?”
“Originally Sir it would take another eight years, but we can shorten it to three, the vessel that was sent is a new model that was going to be testing the new engines hence why it was going to take longer. If we order them to rush the output of the engines should get them there within that time frame.”
Sitting back down in his chair the captain attached the report to his console and added in the new orders for the ship that was inbound to Eddok and increasing the danger level of the mission, he dismissed the lieutenant and made a call to his superiors.
