It's hard to describe exactly what he saw. He was surrounded by plant life of all types.
Plant life of all types literally everywhere.
It covered the walls, overgrew onto and obscured the consoles, and just about occupied every nook and cranny in sight.
And the interior lighting: It was yellowish-orange, like sunlight...and the sounds! Nivek had it on the tip of his tongue: Is he hearing...what's the word?...crickets?
As the word crossed his mind, a small lizard crossed his path in a blur and jumped into a bush in the corner, and the chirping stopped.
Yep. Crickets.
"Shamus, get us underway, please Sir." Banger said as he walked past the dumbstruck Erieth.
*You got it Boss* came the reply over the speakers.
The old man stopped and turned. "I'm sorry Mr. Erieth, allow me to introduce you to Shamus. Shamus, this is Nivek Erieth. Nivek, this is Shamus."
