There would be something beautiful about this place, if it wasn't so haunted.
It's them: the silverized statues, fluid and pulsing in their stillness, stretching across the garden hills in tidy rows. There are hundreds of them, each representing a life lost on this strange, foreign planet.
Planet Versus.
You haven't decided whether being called here is a blessing or a curse, but then you've only been here a few days. Up until now it's been nothing but shock and awe, wonder and adventure. Take your present company, for example: you stand beside aliens and humans alike, all from different planets in different corners of the galaxy. Where you're from, this wouldn't be near the realm of possibility, but here on planet Versus, any limits on the impossible have been cracked wide open.
In a way, it's everything you've ever dreamed of for your life back home. It's also more terrifying than you could have imagined. After all, you stand here at the funeral of someone you've just met. You stand underneath their memorial statue, knowing that before your time here is through, you're likely to see many more statues populate these hills. That is, if your own doesn't take shape first.
That's when the cold reality grips you:
You don't want to die here.So what are you going to do to make sure you survive planet Versus?
