My consciousness snaps awake and a wave of information floods my mind before being quickly organized and sorted before stored away.

Being up to date now, I send an order to the probe in which I'm currently located and then watch how the metal wall in front of my face opened up and let the atmosphere of this planet flow into the sealed compartment where I'm placed in.

Taking a second for my optics to adjust to the light radiating onto the planet from its local star I use it to perform some basic scans of the chemical makeup of the air.

By the time my eyes are able to see the world beyond the probe's doors the scans were already completed and luckily showed that there are no substances in the atmosphere that can damage my unite.

Looking across the green hills and blue sky with white clouds I hum happily to myself and take my first step onto the soil of this new world.

Sinking my foot into the vibrant green grass and finding a solid foothold my second one followed quickly.

And so the brilliant light of the sun illuminates my unite and sends a pleasant wave of energy through it as the solar collectors across its surface convert the light into usable energy for my battery.

With a simple mental command the omnidirectional multipurpose utility arm, or MUA for short, unfolds from my back and starts swinging around and scan everything within range.

Leaving the MUA to do its job I turn to the Probe which I exited and look at the smooth chrome colored metal exterior and the reflection of my unit on it.

The unite has been designed to look similar to that of a human, this means two arms with each having a five digited hand, two legs with feet that each have five toes and a head with all required sensory organs.

Currently the unite
