Snake and the black nebula

[Dratai]

[font=Lucida Console]It was the stuff of books, really.
One thing was being an archeologist on some dig site looking for knick knacks and decoding alien texts.

Another was finding the dig sites.
Not just taking samples in the dirt either, some of those places would be too far underground.
Serpentinius was a famous explorer, at least to some degree- had always been a science nut anda daydreamer, spending too much time on neural games than on his tudies, fortunately.
Yes, fortunately. He'd been able to hone his reaction time, and it had saved him in more than a few scraped. Some people didn't believe stories of his exploits however, they also probably didn't need to as he didn't tell them. He wrote books about them. None of them any particurlarily interesting, mostly field notes and studies, he had a cult following among university students.

A cult following.

This is the one story that changed all of that however.
People would know "snake" by the end of it.

Partly because it was true, mostly because it had action, intrigue, suspense!

Okay, maybe just action and suspense.

One of these days, there will be a clever, stylish and/or funny signature here.
This is still not that day, however.
