Chapter 5: Chapter 4 – An Apostle

It was not Spring.

 

The crab could even see the strange white sand under the trees. Its instincts told the crab that it was dangerous. Too exposed and cold. The crab kept several of its compound eyes trained on the shadows and snow in the forest.

 

With its many other eyes, it caught a strange sight to its side. A shimmering, shining thing. It glimmered like the ocean with the light of the afternoon sun.

 

It was also growing larger. In fact, the crab could now see that the shape was now moving toward itself.

 

Stranger and stranger.

 

The shiny thing stopped a respectable distance away. It seemed as though the shiny thing did not wish to approach too close.

 

So the crab investigated. With a fair amount of caution, the crab approached. In fact, its instincts were cautioning it against approaching. It was taken into consideration, but ignored. Instead, the crab prepared its rather hefty claws.

 

The thing started to slowly approach the crab. With its arrival, the crab noticed that the shiny object was, in fact, rather massive. It towered over the crab.

 

So, obviously, the crab followed its instincts.

Hard! Tougher than my own shell.

 

The hard and shiny thing seemed to look down. It then emitted a strange vibrating sound.

 

Low, then high, then nothing. Low, high, nothing.

 

The crab responds by rubbing its back legs together.

 

Curiously, the thing stops emitting noises. Suddenly, a shiny-round claw comes down onto the crab-

 

Hello, little one.

 

Hello?

Yes, hello. I am an Apostle. Short-designation: WP3. We are here to obverse creatures, such as yourself.

 

Why?

 

Observation has begun on the nature of the Primordial Plane, to record its effects on organic lifeforms and landscapes.

 

I do not understand.

 

Your place of 'birth' is unique. We wish to understand. Therefore, we study you.

 

I see.

 

By this point, the air had been heating up to Spring-Summer types of heat.

 

Which is why the intrusion of these Terrans is highly negative for our research.

 

Terrans?

 

Yes. A coalition of species of biological lifeforms. Notably, all species were genetically modified. A group of them have already entered the atmosphere and are evidently attempting to crash-land safely.

 

Why?

 

Biological lifeforms are capable of catastrophic errors. Unfortunately, the Terran spaceship's current trajectory seems to result in the annihilation of almost all marine life. This would include your race, and therefore, yourself.

 

Oh.

 

Therefore, as the object of our study, we recommend that you seek shelter immediately.

 

The crab responds with quick scuttling to its burrow in the sand, breaking contact with the shiny-round-claw.

 

The Apostle watches and records. It turns away after the crab is done burrowing. It stares into the sky, where a second sun has appeared.

 

"How irritating, Terrans."
