Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.
You’re now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: what planet are you from?
Stranger: tellus
Stranger: what about you then?
You: er Zygon
Stranger: is it in same galaxy?
You: im not sure, could be its a pretty big Galaxy
Stranger: well at least Tellus is in Milkyway, it’s too pretty big galaxy
Stranger: or average, i’m not sure
You: Well Zygon is a fairly new planet, i only arrived on it a few years ago, and the waterways have been havoc ever since!
Stranger: ok, so has there been an artficial creation of atmosphere or how come people just arrive there?
You: the atmosphere was brought over from another planet, it took 2 yrs to get it just right and ready for people to live on it, that was about 5 yrs ago now, and they are still ironing out the problems!
Stranger: ok, sounds interesting
Stranger: i mean the idea to transport an atmosphere, not possible with our technology
You: This technology is light years ahead of its time, no one except the people who created it know anything about how it really works, that is all we were told when we arrived.
Stranger: very interesting
Stranger: so do you also use oxygen to your cell breathing or what sort of species are you?
You: Our atmosphere has a much higher oxygen level than other planets, it would be deadly to other species but we survive thanks to specially adapted lungs, it has taken many generations to hone the design of our lungs but now we can live where others cannot.
Stranger: i see
Stranger: actually the only sorts of gas i have heard a specie can breath are in addition to oxygen carbondioxide and methane, do you know any other gas?
You: well theres helium but we cannot breathe that. What is Tellus like?
Stranger: Tellus is a rock based planet with a partly fluid heart, it’s surface’s height difference can be up to 20 kilometres and it’s 70 percent covered by water
You: Hmm sounds like a nice place to live, i like water – like i said on Zygon the waterways are chaos at the moment, they are being fixed but it takes a long time
Stranger: to us the water is only fluid we can use as nutrition, all our liquid nutrition is based on water
Stranger: is it as inevitable to you also?
You: Our waterways run throughout our lands, without it we would crumble and die, it provides us with the moisture our bodies need to survive, our food has poor nutrition and animals cannot survive in our environment so we cannot eat meat, the water gives us vegetation which keeps us nourished
Stranger: i see, i see
Stranger: er Zygon hot planet?
Stranger: is*
You: It is not that hot, it is hotter than earth was but it is cool enough that our water does not evaporate.
Stranger: so you have been to Tellus, since you mentioned the earth? or is that just common knowledge?
You: We were taught about a lot of planets before we came to Zygon, earth is one of the many that we were given information about to help us on our new planet, they are similar but as i said the Oxygen level is much higher.
Stranger: ok, so how big is your civilisation?
Stranger: are there many of you in Zygon?
You: Over 1 million, but i do not see many of them, i only see those i come in contact with on a daily basis. We have ochtas, which are medium sized populations within which we go about our daily lives, people in an ochta do not have contact with people from other ochtas unless there is an emergency which threatens our way of life.
Stranger: do you by the way know the time-traveller Doctor Who?
You: He has been to our planet once but i did not see him, i have heard stories of him though.
Stranger: ok, i searched some info for Zygon and he was mentioned also
Stranger: but i think i have to go now
You: Okay, it was nice talking to you, Bye!
You have disconnected.
