He still didn't understand it. Why were the guardians so fixed on him going to earth? Killowog? Did they seem to think that it would have some sort of special place in his heart as the homeland of his father? He brushed off the thought. Never before had be been to earth, but after what had been declared a rather lackluster performance during training, they were sending him to a low priority planet in order to get his bearings.

His mother, laughing at what the guardians at told him, wished him luck on his journey. She had duties to attend to on Vespasi. Despite this, he didn't travel with nothing. 

He carried some artifacts, notes that his father had on other guardians of Earth. It wasn't much. The notes were like a journal that had just been started. Only a few names and details lay inside, but it would have to do for now. At least until he found himself.

The ring he wore on his finger glowed bright as it spoke to him. His fist tightened, but he showed no signs on hesitance.

As he had expected, the blue planet had seen some better days, but it was quite obvious that it was still being inhabited. Scans indicated breathing life on the planet, as well as life in the upper atmosphere. 

Preston slowed. It would be better to announce his presence than fly in and be attacked by the government. 

His right hand rose to his mouth, speaking into his ring like a communicator. [color=39b54a]"Ring, broadcast on open signals, nearby ones. I don't want to invade anyone's leisure time."[/color]

It blinked once, but he never spoke. He had to remind himself, this was like other planets. Earth was apparently much more isolated compared to somewhere like Vespasi. Given the lack of satalites and stations further than Mars, it was likely they hadn't developed travel beyond their own star system, much less likely outside of this cluster.

Something outside of the atmosphere was incredibly dangerous, as the levels read. He should investigate it before it hit the earth.

Much to his surprise, it appeared to be a man. Or, something upright and bipedal like himself. He was on the side of a space station, politely knocking on the air hatch. He was dressed, even. How strange were his first minutes on this Earth.

[color=39b54a]"Excuse me."[/color] Preston spoke suddenly. [color=39b54a]"I don't believe that humans can breathe in space. Can I ask what you're doing here?"[/color]
