It's been 800 years, the world is running low on resources. People are dying, soldiers are fighting, and the wars keep coming.
A group of astronauts decided to find another planet they could live in. They wanted a fresh start. They used the remaining resource of fuel to use the space ship.
People got angry, but they left and ignored them...they were determined that they would find a habitable planet.
They found one. It was huge, but all they found was land, no water. They searched for days... and all they found was a small puddle. They took a sample out of the puddle.
When they came back, they saw a large crowd protesting outside of the building. They just ignored them.
In the laboratory, they examined the sample. The water was acting strange. Hans, the scientist, discovered that it wasn't water, but it was a sentient being. They did a couple of experiments to the water- like creature. They decided to call it "Timmy". Hans laughed, but he didn't really care what to call it. One of the astronauts, Rothwell, told Hans to contain Timmy.
When the astronauts went outside, they saw the protesters again. One of the protesters asked " So? Did you find anything? You wasted all our resources for nothing!". They ignored them again.
Later that day...
Charlie, a protester broke in the laboratory. She decided to break everything there, she went on a rampage. "We're dying here, and all you do is act like your helping!" Charlie said.
She grabbed a wrench and broke everything she could see, including Timmy's containment cell.
Timmy is a cold blooded creature. Timmy's containment cell has a controlled warm temperature. When Charlie broke it, Timmy felt cold and decided to take shelter inside Charlie.
Charlie coughed for a bit. She tought it was nothing. She decided to escape before she gets caught.
