Today, around 5AM by Earth time (this is the time our ship clock is set on) everyone, who was asleep, has been awaken by an emergency call from our deckhouse, where our monitor that is connected to the probe is located. As usually, it was surrounded by a crowd, somewhere around eight people, and everyone, except for Phil, archeologist, whose duty was at that time, was looking at the screen, glancing at the door from time to time. As soon as we entered, they started talking all at the same time, so it was simply impossible to understand them, and I didn't even try. I went straight to the monitor, to see the record because of which we were all here. It was done two minutes before we arrived, meaning, that Phil called to us as soon as he noticed. At the record we could see some creature coming out from the right of the probe, looking at it for a while (at least that's what I thought; I was unable to spot any eyes) and then hurries back.
Right now, many people are trying to understand reaction of this thing to our probe. It was seemingly scared of it, which is why our main theory is that the planet holds a civilization developed enough, because it is familiar with machinery. Another, less likely theory, suggests that we accidentaly recreated a local predator. Right now we've sent the probe back into desert, to pick a landing spot. Since this planet has multicellular animals, we are extremely likely not to cause too much damage by landing: our main worries were related to the fact that we could've disturbed a developing microcosmos. Also, because we have a chance of facing an intelligent life, we have to be careful: it is unknown, how we will be greeted here. I gotta say, I have very good feeling about this. It is likely that, since we could be carrying similar ways of evolution, we might as well have close society, and the way we think, and even physiology.
According to our captain's order, we begin our descent immediately: it is a painstaking process that requires a lot of effort from our team as well as our onboard computer.
