The Crystal Visions: A Families Journey into the Paranormal Volume 2 (16 page)

Planet side Moira and the team stood mesmerized. Her lungs ached after having only had recycled air for so long. The atmosphere on Marcus II was much more dense, her head felt light and she had to steady herself. She was invigorated; this planet was so much more than she had imagined. She sat down for a moment trying to catch her breath. She reached down and took a handful of soil in her hand: her smile irrepressible. The soil was warm and its smell pungent, its texture luxurious.

All her senses were overloaded being almost more than she could bear. She suspected there weren’t even names for the colors she was seeing. The vivid greens, golds and reds of the foliage, the sea green color of the water almost like the glacier fed lakes on Terra. The colors of the sky were pinks and purples and again so numerous she didn’t even know if there were words in the human vocabulary to describe them. The sheer beauty of the sight in front of her overwhelmed every sense she had and even some she didn’t even know she possessed. Still sitting Moira scanned the area nearest to her, her senses were completely overloaded. The teams’ doctor approached and ran her portable medical device over her. “Stay seated Dr. Murray until you regain your equilibrium. There doesn’t seem to be anything physically wrong with us, we just have a case of sensory overload.” The Doctor squeezed Moira’s shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. Moira smiled and nodded.

Moira eventually stood once more trying to absorb all of her surroundings. The colors she saw seemed almost too much for her brain to analyze, the colors so vivid she had to squint. Not from the actual images before her but the feeling she had deep within her brain as though they had turned on circuits not normally in use. The smell of the air and vegetation, the sound of the rushing water, birds and animals, they all seemed to awaken previously unrealized portions of her being. She suspected that there were not words for what her and her crew was experiencing except possibly ecstasy in its purest form. A feeling of an altered state of consciousness, rapture or exaltation were the only terms she could think of to properly describe what they were going through.

This was so much more than she had expected, more than she had experienced previously on other colony planets she had visited. She couldn’t seem to wipe the stupid grin off her face.

When she looked around everyone in her landing party had the same look on their face. She chuckled to herself as she turned her attention to the river. What was living in the depths of that river, or in the forest? When she finally recovered sufficiently she remembered they had a lot of work to do before nightfall and they had better get cracking. She clapped her hands to get their attention. “People I know this is all a little overwhelming but we need to get to work on the basics of survival, shelter, fire and
water. You know what you are supposed to be doing, let’s get to it shall we! The sooner we have those things sorted the sooner we can explore our new home.” ~
