Viviana Corey James "Vivii"
The training for this journey had been six months long, not nearly long enough Vivii had though. They had been given a crash course in things that they knew about Earth and the terrain near where their ship would be landing. They would arrive on day one and establish a small camp. A week later there would a shipment of supplies that included more live animals from Erellon. For now they had given them waterproof canvas tents and small easily erected shelters for the smaller animals they had brought with them on this shuttle.
They had been put to sleep for the duration of the journey that lasted nearly two hundred years even with the more advanced technology that they had. Vivii had stepped into her sleep pod one hundred and eighty-seven years, four months, and six days ago. Her body was slowly beginning to awaken now though as they had presumably landed nearly an hour ago. It took some time for the body and mind to fully reawaken after being in a sleep stasis for such a long time. Her vision was blurry at first and it alarmed her, her heart thrashing in her chest but she could not yet move her body. This was why they had spent so much time getting used to the wake up process as her body was disconnected from the machinery inside the ship. It was a life support system really, keeping them alive while their bodies where no longer being used. Slowly though her vision cleared and she could see some of the animals that had also been in a sleep like state, laying down were awakening as well. They would need careful inspection before they left the ship.
The ship was as pristine as they day they had left Erellon and she almost wondered if they had even left at all. She could wiggle her fingers and toes now and she balled her hands into fists before slowly moving to remove the electrodes and other devices from her body. She pressed the lever to let herself out and looked easily around the ship when she stepped out of the pod into the fresh air. Taking a deep breath her chest ached as she expanded it long past its usually capacity as of recently. She headed to the computer to complete the cognition quiz to make sure she was still sentinent she guessed. She had long since forgotten what they had told her the real reason for the quizzes were. They had to do one every day for the first week to make sure everything was up to par. They had all be selected for their intelligence and if they were not where they should still be they would return home.
She opened up the program on the computer interface that had been designated to be hers and completed the short quiz. It dinged and let her know the date and time in Erellon and on Earth. It was around 10 o'clock in the morning here on Earth. Giving them plenty of time to wake up and get their shelters set up as well as a fire going before they had to go to sleep. The animals would have to be checked over and kept inside the ship for now until they set up the solar powered electric fencing to keep them corralled. For now though she decided to go check on the waking animals and ensure their safety as she woke up. She fingered the necklace around her neck that had been given to her by her elven parents. It was made from a shimmering glowing metal found on Erellon. It was a simple tear drop pendant that had clear stones around the outside and a lovely bright blue stone in the center.
She opened the door and stepped over the short gate into the room with all the animals. They were kept up in stalls; horses, banos, cows, ducks, chickens, and several other kinds of animals. She soon found her own personal pet within the bunch as well as her own personal horses that she had requested. She had easily convinced them that sending a group of horses that did not know her was a bad idea. She bent down to check over some of the goats that had been brought along.
