Sarah Chamberlain had come aboard the Galileo as the Anthroxenologist, a fancy way of saying that she had language skills and was decent with humans. Supposedly, that would mean she would be able to bridge the gap between her species and that of any intelligent life they'd find out in the universe...But this trip was supposed to be void of that. It was a routine colonizing operation on a planet with primates being the most sophisticated thing on it.<br/><br/>This was her first mission, her first real operation outside of training school, so she was doing her best not to mess it up. So far so good, though they'd only just landed on the planet and hadn't really begun anything serious, yet.<br/><br/>Sarah walked around until she came outside, getting a view of the horizon; beautiful, tropical, completely nonthreatening. There was a tension in the air, though, something nobody could quite put their finger on, yet everybody felt it. Perhaps it was just the typical atmosphere of any first-landing on a new planet?<br/><br/>Yes, that had to be it. It's not like there were some alien life out there watching them; scans and observation had eliminated that possibility, certainly.
