Khell told himself not to panic and rely on his military training in a situation like this, but he'd never trained for a hostile planet. He quickly realized that whatever was happening must have been what the scientists picked up on. From what he could tell so far, the plant life on Drecuvis was perhaps sentient, using chemicals or vibrations or sound or something to think and feel. That would prove to be a huge obstacle if they came in and started clearing away parts of the forest for farmland.

He tried backing up when the black thorny vines sprang up out of the ground, but a tangle of the purple vines stopped him in his tracks. This was bad. Was the planet's neurocenter underground? Perhaps even deep in its core. Khell coughed as the orange spores filled the space. He covered his mouth with both hands and squinted his eyes against the swarming particles. Was it poisonous? There was a strong chance the entire planet was a living organism and recognized him as a germ and was now trying to eliminate him.

This wasn't at all how he expected his mission to go.
