Luke stood outside the gates, amongst crowds of people, all waiting for the same thing. There was a small group of protestors, cornered off from the rest of the city, but still, Luke folded his arms across his chest and looked to Michael, his best friend and partner in crime of many years. "What do you think they look like?" He asked with a smirk. The facility, hidden behind the large, iron gates, had been kept top secret for the past five years, after a UFO had crashlanded on the outskirts of the city. As amusing as Luke found the idea of aliens, Luke also found it terrifying.
Lucy stared down at her ID, complete with her human name, and the age she was, according to Earth years. Adjusting to this planet had been... strange, to say the least, but adjusting to the name of Lucy Dawson had been even worst. Looking around to the rest of her colony, Lucy's eye caught Ceres', and she offered her friend a weak smile as an voice on the intercom, projected outside, announced that the gates would be opening. Looking to the former leader of their colony, who hadn't been pleased about being kept on Earth, not wanting to mingle with 'weak' humans, Lucy decided that humans couldn't possibly be that bad.
As the gates opened, Lucy reached on her tip toes to see past the elders of their colony, seeing crowds upon crowds of humans. Falling behind for Ceres to catch up to her, Lucy looked to her friend. "Wow."
