As I walked along the edge of the shuttle... I stared out in awe.  The landscape at night is lit by blue-white light dim but never dark.  Maybe it has to do with the two moons above, reflecting so much light from the sun.  Maybe it has to do with seeing things with the mixture of normal light and the infra-red light.  Who knows... but whatever the reason, it was a comforting feeling being here in the serenity.  I could here things off in the distance that sounded like birds, the soft chirping of young sparrows.  The water was making a soft muffled rumbling noise off in the distance.  I sat down near the edge of the woods and watched... after sitting still for about five minutes things began to stir.  Out in the middle of the meadow I could see a family of varmints, they looked a little like the Viridian Prairie Dog.  The two young were wrestling around on the ground in front of the burrow... when I suddenly got the feeling that someone or SOMETHING was watching me...  "[Patch]  Look there are some ground dwellers!!!"  "[WhiteFoot]  I see them Patch!" "[Blackie]  I will go around and cut them off from behind!!!"  "Hello.... who's out there?  I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE, I CAN HEAR YOU TALKING!!!"  "[Blackie]  Patch what was that?"  "[WhiteFoot]  I don't know but whatever it was it scared our meal into the GROUND!!!"  "[Patch]  Whatever it is, it knows we are here, and I don't know how because we never made a sound... and that scares me!"  "I CAN STILL HEAR YOU TALKING!!!"  "[Blackie]  Whatever it is, it sure is loud!  It can't be hunting or hungry... because noise doesn't help get food!"  (beep, beep) "D'ANA I need your help!  I can hear things talking out there, but they won't answer back when I call to them!"  Zen, They only vocal sound waves that I have registered are yours for the last five minutes.  Maybe you should come back in now!  "Ok, I am on my way!"  "[Blackie]  Patch... I see what it is, it is standing on the edge of the grassy area!"  "[Patch]  I see it too!!!"  "[Blackie]  I am going closer to it!"  "D'ANA I am going to run back they know where I am now!!!"  I started running as fast as I could... when I came around the corner of the shuttle...................my heart stopped!  Standing in 25 feet in front of me was a wolf-like creature that was about four feet tall at the shoulder and weighed about 200 pounds.  It's eyes were glowing a bluish-purple, and it looked mean.  "[Blackie]  It is right in front of me!!!"  "(quietly) Who said that???"  "[Blackie]  It is making strange noises again!"  "(quietly)  I know you are out there I heard you again!"  Suddenly the flood lights came on from the shuttle... "Arfffff" and it was gone without another sound into the forest, and I was in the shuttle just as quickly!!!  Zen, I did a scan and there were three of those wolf-like creatures out there!  They were definitely carnivorous, so maybe you shouldn't go out at night for a while!!!  "Don't worry about that.... I don't feel like going anywhere for a while!  At least not until my heart starts beating again!!!"  "Besides... there is someone else here!  I know because I heard them talking!!!"  Zen, there was no other big creatures out there except you and those wolves!!!  So who could have been talking to you?  I think that you were scared and hungry, and that made you paranoid so you thought you heard voices.  "Yeah, you're probably right... It must have been paranoia.  So where's the food?"  So I ate my meal and drifted back to sleep...
