At around five in the morning, Esong Wu was wide awake when he heard the sound of of footsteps running a distance away. He closed his eyes and sharpened his senses, he could tell that the steps were heading into the blue forest.
He roused himself and left his space ship without alerting the others. He along with Markay and the others that came along with him were sleeping in the space ship because there was no housing on the Blue star.
"Good morning general." the Artificial intelligence of the space ship greeted him.
"Good morning Jovi."
"Should I ready the engines for departure?" Jovi the AI asked.
"No." he responded.
He stepped out and stretched his arms. The harsh cold early morning wind in the air did not faze him in the slightest. His eyes were focused in the direction of the footsteps and he raced over there with the speed of a cheetah chasing prey.
