Angela held her breath as the water rushed into her suit. All the data received said the liquid compound of planet Volka was suitable for human respiration. As her helmet filled up she started to hyperventilate. It was at her nostrils but she held her breath. Years of breathing in air could not prepare anyone for this. 
 
 `` Angela just let go.'' The intercom crackled. Her oxygen tank was running low anyway she had nothing to lose. She chocked with her first gulp of it but did n't die. Relief rushed through her burning lungs and her fists clenched with more life than they had a few minutes before. She took a second deeper breath and her heart 
 rate normalized. She scanned the surrounding. 
 
 
 `` What's your status Angela?'' Mission Control asked. 
 
 `` I'm fine, I guess,'' she started. `` you were right mission control the compound is breathable.'' sighs of relief escaped the intercom as the tension in the control room dissipated.

 Gold filled her vision as a school of fish gently swam by. Her brow folded as their translucent skin indicated an internal clockwork mechanism. It stirred her inner scientist. She touched one and it faced her. It sprang excitedly creating a flurry of bubbles before scuttling ahead. 
 
 The school was making its way to the tower. With her arms stretched out wide Angela Paddled to it too. Her exploration of planet Volka had just began.
