Socks pov

"To days the day.... I'm finally going to space. All the training it took. All the time I spent. I'm finally going to the place they all thought I was lieing about. I'm walking onto the space ship and there's no going back now. I'm about to live my dream."

I said all that in my head. It was a bit overwhelming that this is atchley happening to me at the time. Not everyone gets there childhood dreams but some do. To me it's crazy that a few hours ago this ship took off to go to a new plant they discovered when I started training. I almost want to say it's my home planet. Can I consider it my home planet? Idk if I can but in my mind it is. I still am excited for this. I get to stay for a year or 2 they said. I kinda miss my friends already. But they didn't believe me so ill prove it to them.

Next day still socks pov

I woke up in zero gravity meaning I got to space while I was asleep. It was a bit more calming then home at earth if I was being honest. I do feel a bit sick tho and need a snack. I should probably go to the kitchen to grab one. Hopefully it's not to hard to get food here. I still don't know my ship that well but I'll get used to it at one point. Kinda wished I brought my random note book I had laying around with notes on what I might see this trip tho. I can't really expect to much tho can I.

One month later

I've gotten used to the no gravity thing by now. Earth disappeared from view a few days ago and all I see is the stars and space and the sun we know a bit. It's been lonely but relaxing. Sometimes it's nice being alone for awhile. Do feel a bit home sick tho some days. But that will happen. Besides I miss talking to my friends. I'm just hoping to get to the planet safely get get back safely. They said the planet should have fresh yet fin air. But I just want to explore and research this place. Make it my second home.

Landing on planet 117230 (orymeulck)(ore-meem-you-luc)

I woke up in slight fear when I felt a thump go throw the space ship. I immediately got up and looked out the window to see I have landed on the planet. I immediately ran off grabbing my spacesuit and running putting it on and falling over but I couldn't wait.

I got to the door waiting for it to open with excitement. I really couldn't wait. It was weird feeling gravity again tho. But really who cares. I'm the first to go on this planet.

I waiting about an hour before the door started to open wich I immediately stood back up in excitement. When the door opened completely I immediately ran out accidentally sliding and falling down the entire ramp and hitting a hill or something. I got up rubbing my head and looking at what I hit. The place almost looked like that one place in the never where the trees are blue and the grass and what not but in lighter colors almost pastel but not. It also had a fine white powder that wasn't anything like snow and put it in a bottle.

I started walking around but went to one of the plants there and grabbed parts of it and put it in separate bottles. I took some pictures to. The place is quite nice to say the least. I'm definitely looking forward to staying here for a year or two.

I started to walk around a bit more and saw what almost looked like a village of some sort. I thought to myself to come to that later cus it can be dangerous. I continued to walk around and found what looked like water and got some of that to. I didn't drink it cus it could be dangerous but I put it in another bottle.

I went back to the ship to drop off the bottles with things in it and looked back at the village and was definitely cerios about it. I grabbed a sketch book provided by the ship and started sketching the town and the distance from the ship it was. I also took some notes of what I've seen so far and went on.

Honestly now that I think of it there's not much to to at the moment and I should probably get settled into the place better then this. Besides hasn't been long since I landed. Probably should have been my first focus anyways.

Few days later

It's been a few days I've already lost track and I almost have the place completely set up. I'm still wondering about the village in the distance but I'll check that out a month or 2 before I leave cus then I know more of what I'm doing. I feel slightly drawn to it but I have to wait. It could be dangerous.

Few months later

At this time I keep wondering if my friends are ok or not. I haven't seen them in months. Probably 7-9 months or something I've really lost track but I've gotten alot of info on this planet so far and I'm happy with my progress. I normally go left from the spaceship door to stay away from the village. Every day I get more and more ready to go there. I don't even really feel that scared. But rn my focus is getting the info I can and surviving this unknown planet.

Month 11

I know by now my trip is going to start coming to a close so I'm finally going to go to the village. I got my gear and went towards it slowly. I soon almost started being pulled towards it but it didn't matter to me at the moment as I'm going to explore it anyways. And if I get hurt I have bandages and what not.

As I entered the town I realized there were these aliens that didn't really surprise me. Besides what else could have built the place. They looks at me strangely but it looked like they didn't mind me being here. I started takeing some notes on the place for the research and tho it was a bit awkward it overall seemed chill. After a few hours I headed back to the spaceship and got some snacks and what not. I'll probably go check the place Tomorrow cus what else could I really do anyways.

Few days before going home.

The aliens have basically token me as one of them After awhile and are really nice. I almost don't want to leave them. And they gave me things I can bring back home. They arnt like the aliens you see in movies at all. I almost see them as friends. The only thing is I can't get attached to them overwise I won't want to go home to my friends. It would be a hard choice if so.

2 days before going home.

I was packing my things up now and it was definitely takeing awhile cus I'm on my own here but I know I can do this. I did it in training anyways. Tho while I was packing up the last bit of it one of the aliens came up to me. It confused me cus tho town is in sight it's quite the distance. It grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the town and I just went along with it.

When we got there the ruler of the place from what I can guess was there. I was a bit confused but I think they wanted me to go up to it. So I did. When I got there it looked at me then the Aliens around and started speaking to them. When it stopped talking it looked at me. I was a bit confused but was stabbed through the chest.  Pain took over and cracks started to form around it. And in the hole in my chest was a small blue orb that glows.

They helped me back to the ship and put the rest of my things away for me as I passed out due to pain.

Few days later

I woke up in alot of pain and my vision was a bit foggy. My back hurt alot and so did my chest. Which the blue orb was still there. I slowly got up and got some bandages and wrapped it around where I was stabbed makeing shere none of the light showed through. I didn't think of mutch afterwards until I went to the window to see of I was off the planet or not.

Turns out I was one of them now. I had a tail with a blue tip and tentacles and those things some bugs have and also things on the side of my head and some weird ear things. The bigger ear things can move but the smaller ones can't. I was a bit scared but it looked kinda cool at the same time but really I should be scared of what there is to come with this.

I went to go see when the ship took off and it was a few days ago. At least that gives me time to research the alien I was infected by. And who knows if it can spread and if it can I should take notes on that and keep myself away from my friends as much as I can.

Back on earth.

I learned a bit about this alien and my vision is getting worse. I can still see tho it's just hard. I'm able to hide all this so I was able to go back to my friends. They seem happy to see me and didn't ask aneything about what happened that made me feel more comfortable for being back home here. It's still weird that I miss the aliens tho. After what they did but it was a wild ride that trip was for me and I'm just happy to see my friends again. Besides what else could I ask for.
