The big red ship with the purple fins came down with a mighty thump. A door on the side of the ship opened up and out stepped three humans. Two females and one male.

The first female was the ship captain. She was Captain Andrea Willows. The other two were Lieutenant Starker and General Brutus.

They had been sent from their home planet to inhabit this planet because the previous race (named the Transiquils) had died out hundreds of years ago on this planet.

The planet was very good for the conditions that the crew required to send the world of which they came that this planet was okay for the rest of there race to populate.

A lush jungle with all flowers surrounded the planet (or the part of the planet they had landed on) is where they where.

There were no forms of life anywhere to be seen (except the plants) The most intriguing thing about the planet was that there was o reason to show why the Transiquils had died out.

"Well Captain, who said that landing on this planet would be a hideous task?" said Starker

"Yes, but I think that there is something wrong" said Andrea.

"What did the previous owners of this planet look like Brutus?"

Brutus reached into his pocket and picked out a picture, on it was a huge monster with a tail, purple skin and a huge mouthful of teeth.

"It looks like a-," said Andrea

"Lizard" interrupted Brutus

"A terrible Lizard" said Andrea

"Dinosaur" said Starker

"What do you mean ‘Dinosaur?’" said Brutus

"That is what terrible lizard is in our ancient elder language" said Starker

"Hey, anyway what did the Transiquils name this lump of dirt?" asked Brutus

"Earth" replied Andrea.
