The air was hot and muggy, but the mud was still. It seemed, for some reason, like something was there... |

Galvar and his team beamed down onto solid ground. |
|
|
There was very little solid ground, but what there was provided enough room to navigate between the mud.
There was something poking out of the mud. It's arm could be seen. Five fingers, and very human-like.
(No, it's not going to be a human.) |

Galvar and his soldiers aimed plasma weapons at it. |
|
|
It moved a little, the arm sinking further down.
A leg came out. it was obviously humanoid, but it's features were obscured by the mud. it was impossible to tell the shape, age, gender, or anything much about the creature. |

Tricorder scans revealed little. |
|
|
The head of the thing emerged. It had the nose, mouth and forehead you would expect, but there was something odd about the eyes...
(You can decide the gender if you want) |

( You can)
Galvar was intrigued but kept his guard up. |
|
|
The being tilted it's head, oblivious of the weapons being pointed at it. It spoke some sort of alien languages, but translators failed to translate it. |

Galvar was annoyed at the fact the Universal Translator failed here. He did shout, " Whatever you are, don't move.... and identify yourself..." |
|
|
The creature seemed to understand, but still spoke in the alien language. |

Galvar's engineering officer tried remodulating the Translators. |
|
|
Eventually, it began to work, but it turned on in mid-sentance.
"Chosen to extend the race." Was all that was picked up. |

Galvar said," What???" |
|
|
The creature repeated itself.
"Do not worry, I am of no violent inclinations towards you. I am Al'Dera, only created by the ones above less than 15 of your.. Minutes... Ago. I am one of the few remaining made to carry on my race." |

Galvar said," Explain further, if you may." |

( Sounds like these guys got seeded by a Progenitor Spacecraft.) |
|
|
"What do you wish me to expand upon?" Asked the creature. |
|

Galvar said," Your origins? And is it possible a Progenitor Spacecraft created you?" |
|
|
"My origins? The ones above put DNA into this planet in such a way that a new race would emerge, with knowledge of as many things as possible at birth, if you could call it that. Our bodies developed, in the mud, for a mere week, and I am the final byproduct." She said. "One of them, at least. I am the first to awaken." |

Galvar said," Very well then." |
|
|
"Is there anything more you need?" Asked the thing. |
|

Galvar said," Not at the moment.." |
|
|
Al'Dera dove back into the ocean of mud, and again was undetectable. |

Galvar and his team returned to their starship and went into low orbit. |
