Chapter 3
This being our first day in this strange land we didn't know what all to expect from the dinosaurs or from the planet itself. We were not sure how to judge hours on this planet or when the sun would be setting. All we knew is we were strangers in this land and we had to think fast or we would die sooner than later.
We all put our heads together and thought of ways to survive this new world. With the limited resources that we had we might find a way to last an Earth year. We decided that we would need to hunt and fish to survive and to keep warm we would need to build a fire and hope that it would drive the dinosaurs away from our camp.
We also decided on keeping the eggs for food after we were finished studying them. We figured the dinosaurs already knew the eggs were missing and they would come looking for us anyway might as well eat the eggs and die happy.
Earlier when Jessica and I had gone back to the space ship we gathered up our puny human weapons. Don't know what good they would do against alien dinosaurs but it was better than nothing. So we had our laser guns and a flame thrower.
We were expecting a planet without animal life so we didn't bring much ammo. We would make do with what we had and between the four of us we would learn how to make new weapons out of rocks and wood and other materials that this planet had to offer us with the limited tools we had.
Other thoughts hit me as we started talking about the trouble we were now facing. Thoughts of how we only had one space suite each. If we continued wearing them the smell would surely attract the dinosaurs and it might actually make us ill after a while.
We decided to ditch our heavy suites. We all were able to fashion new lighter “clothes” out of leaves of the trees not only was it cooler it also helped to camouflage us from the wildlife, not to mention I wasn't ready to roam around naked in front of Jessica. I was only hoping that the herbivores would stay away as well as the carnivores.
When I saw John and Kevin I couldn't help but laugh at their newly fashioned “clothes” they looked like football players of the Amazon jungle! They went all out by making shoulder pads out of the thickest of leaves. I came out wearing leaves that only covered what needed to be covered.
Jessica came out of the jungle wearing a bikini top fashioned of leaves and a giant leaf wrapped around her waist. I had never seen anyone make the jungle look so good. We didn't have time to do a fashion show so we got straight to work. Planning our next actions.
