As I ended my descent towards the primitive village the humming sound grew louder. My instruments stopped working entirely as I was halfway down; it was good I didnt use my AG boots, otherwise I would have met an untimely demise. As I was about a hundred meters down the primitive people somehow noticed me. They began to shoot me with some sorts of sligshots; they were pretty accurate. I tried to climb but then some of them began to climb the slippery rock wall with the greatests of dexterities. They reached me in but minutes. From up-close they seemed human but they acted completely feral. Luckily for me they didnt make me fall, instead two of them held fast to me and lowered me down.
After they stripped me from my every possession, including my disruptor, they took me across their village. They communicated with grunts and grumbles, and about ten of them escorted me and made way as we walked across their primitive settlement. The houses were small and roughly hemispherical, mud and god knows what else had been hardened into a hard looking substance. Women and their children seemed to be in front of each household breaking shelled creatures and feeding their young.
As they paraded me across town we reached a bigger hut. The men were mostly surrounding this place and the hum came from its inside. I was brought through the threshold and presented to some sort of chief or leader. Right next to him was my friend RG, she was detained in a simple cage made out of vines and hardened branches. She greeted me with a disappointed grimace and she signaled to the other side where there was a device. It hummed deeply.
The men brought me to my knees and the leader rose from his throne like stone.
"Its a pity you had been stranded here....Horologer."
I was looking down when I heard those words, the man spoke english! When I rose my face I saw the chief, but right next to him was another man, a man dressed in the Victorian Fashion, even his moustache and trimmed beard gave him away.
"Who are you?"
The man approached me with a snicker on his face. "That's not important right now. Who are you and why are you here?
I looked at his eyes, they seemed intelligent, savvy and dangerous, I answered immediately; "my friend there is RG and I am...Trent. Our ship needs some repairs, we couldn't travel any longer so we landed here."
"Really?"
"What's that device you have there? What happened to this people?" I asked as the man clearly ignored my answer.
He walked towards the device. It really looked like a gas tank with all manner of tubes, steam vents and lights. "This is the reason why this people are still alive. The Paradox Wave destroyed half this Sectron, This is the only thing stopping it from going even farther!"
