[ WP ] A child is playing in the woods and stumbles upon a piece of 'Old Earth ' technology , managing accidentally to turn it back on ...

A loud thunderous noise roared through the air. Leaves and moss flying out of the way of the pulse engine streams as if to flee. Their past neighbor, who had walked on them in the past have returned. Thud. The metallic ramp on the side of the vessel hissed and slowly started to tur towards the green and wet ground. Another Thud and hiss as the airlock slowly opens, revealing the travelers sheltering behind it. 
 
 `` So... This is what the true natural ecosystem smells like. Much better recycled air any day, I must say.'' The voice of a small, squint eyed woman said. That voice was n't heard in this place in centuries. If the planet could talk, it would say that voice was n't welcomed. 
 
 `` Hurry, kids! Come on see your new home!'' She said excitedly stepping aside and leaning on the airlock door and squinted her eyes into even narrower shape as she looked into the light filtered through the fresh and moist leaves of trees. 
 
 `` Hurry up, slowpoke'' A high pitched voice of a boy said, the soundwaves heading back to dimmed red lighted cockpit of the vessel 
 
 `` Hold on! My limbs are still numb from the hibernation''. It was the boy's sister. She was as beautiful as she was designed to be. Pale skin, blue eyes. A perfect body of an adolescent little girl. 
 
 `` Look! There's a pond over here. Come on now, before others wake up!'' The boy was running across the layer of moss and leaves with all the speed his short legs could give. 
 
 The woman, their mother was alarmed by the boy 
 `` Stop right there! Remember the protocol?'' `` That water could be dangerous!'' 
 `` Yes, mom'' The boy had stopped, panting a bit but with an apologetic tone in his voice. 
 `` Let me get in there'' The woman said and opened a niche near the door. A small and flat device lit up and curvy and angular symbols that remind of eastern buildings appeared on it. 
 `` Input the material'' A robotic buzzing voice said 
 
 The mom walked to a pond 
 `` I am thirsty mom! The water must be clean'' Said the boy with impatience 
 `` Soon we will know'' and gave her son a stern stare as to tell him to sit down and wait 
 `` Analyzing... Analysis complete. Salinity level: Very low. Safe level. Heavy metal concentration: Very low. Safe level. Life forms: No registered harmful life forms detected. The water is class: Fresh water.'' 
 
 `` All right then, drink up. It is important to keep yourself hydrated'' 
 `` Mom, what is that white plant there? On the water'' Asked the girl 
 `` A pond lily. Safe to touch and pick up'' replied the device. The device had a vast, extensive and fast working registry, including on the life forms of the past 
 `` I want one!'' 
 `` Hey look! Theres something submerged in the water!'' Hollered the boy. The mom's attention shifted from the beautiful pond lily to the spot where the boy was pointing. 
 `` It's just a plastic bag. They never decomposed.'' Sighed the mom 
 
 The boy picked up the bag nonetheless. The water was shallow in the point where the bag had drifted. 
 `` There's something in here'' Exclaimed the boy as he gasped in excitement. The boy poured out the object inside to a wet grass in front of him 
 
 `` A box?'' as the boy raised his eyebrows 
 `` There might be something. It might be an artifact of the past. Fetch me the plasma cutter'' 
 
 Not a moment too soon, a man was standing next to the now complete family. It was the father of the children. Standing tall and bamboozled as he gaped in awe of the beautiful nature around him. His eyes stared into a small yellow butterfly flying near small orchards of flowers. 
 `` Welcome to the new world, my husband'' Said the woman and snagged the plasma cutter from the man's hand. 
 
 `` What secrets are you holding?'' 
 Bzzzrt. The feeble lock was ripped in half and the woman lifted the lid. All the heads of the family peered into the box in one big cluster. 
 `` Pfft, junk!'' snorted the man. `` Junk from our dirty past. Throw them away'' 
 `` Ideas like that is what ultimately led to this planet becoming uninhabitable. We thought everything was disposable... Even our own kind'' Protested the woman. She had a saying in the matters in this micro sized community and the man knew that 
 `` They are no use to us. We should...'' 
 `` Theres a device in here! It's seemingly intact'' blurted out the boy 
 `` Hmm, buttons.'' Thought the man in his mind as he pressed one 
 `` Of course. It's not turning on. It's inoperable. What a waste of time'' 
 `` I'll plug it in the PAD and see if I can download some data from it'' ( Personal assistant device ). The woman opened a small compartment in the PAD where a small universal data adapter was. Nothing but a cable with a head made of smart, adaptable material ( SAM ). Plop as the head was plugged in. The adapter head shifted shape and took the form of a flat strip. 
 `` File format unsupported'' Read on the screen. The faces of the children were clearly disappointed 
 `` So much for that. Now, load up the personal protocol instructions and let's get to work'' Ordered the man with a firm and determinant voice. 
 
... 
 
 During the evening, the boy examined the camera in his tiny cabin, rolling it in his hands and changing the SAM for the last time to its original shape. `` Still unresponsive after all the cable types and data formats''. The boy sighed. Then, the whole room suddenly shifted and tilted. Was the planet quaking? `` Tectonic movements'' thought the boy as he jumped out of his now dormant stasis chamber acting as a bed. But the quake did n't continue. The room was still tilted, though, which made moving to doorway difficult and burdensome as the plastic floor was n't designed to act as stairs too. `` I hope nothing is broken inside the compartments'' thought the boy as he had made his way to the doorway and then looked behind as he heard a distant low volume voice behind him. It was the device. `` It operates!''. 
 
 The boy carefully slid along the tilted floor to his bunk where the camera had dropped. `` The algae cells... The energy! Of course! It needed external energy''. A bunch of green pills were sticking out the device's own compartment with 2 slots in it. `` The algae cells are powering it up'' The quake had spilled the cells tabs from their jar on top of the device. The boy watched and listened to the faint video, tuning himself in. 
 
 ``... Soon, the nukes will hit here. I pray to God that my bunker will last and that I will be able to make my way back into outdoors someday'' 
 `` With all the radiation these doomsday weapons will leave behind, a small part of me hopes that I instantly vaporize... And get to meet my family'' 
 `` I am leaving this message behind for anyone who might have survived this apocalypse or for the future generations and explorers to come. Know, that we humans are very destructive and that everything we touch will eventually crumble in our hands'' 
 `` I will be leaving this message in a specially crafted box that I ordered just for this day. The winds of time will erode everything but I hope one of us or them will get their hands on this message before that happens. This is 12th video out of 12. End of recording. `` 
 
 The PAD ended it's translation and voice miming.'' Translation from the language: English is complete'' it said with its usual machine voice 
 
 `` Son, we need you outside! Everyone has to come! We have an emergency!'' said the father who had suddenly appeared onto his doorway still panting from the exhaustion 
 
 The son sprinted to doorway, almost slipping due to newly found angle of the floor. 
 
 `` Take my hand and let's go'' said the father in a hurried tone 
 `` What's going on?'' Asked the son as they were sprinting ( more like climbing ) the tilted hallways on the surface that used to be a wall. 
 
 `` One side of the ship has sunken into a marsh. The captain miscalculated our landing stage coordinates. We shall have quite a rough night lifting the ship back up'' replied the father 
 
 `` Hazards of a planet. By the way, I got the device which we found earlier to work. It contained a message'' 
 
 `` The history Intendant might be interested in it but right now, we have more pressing issues. First and foremost, we need to survive on this wretched planet''
