'These primitives will be easy to dominate,' you think touching the laser pistol at your side. 'Perhaps the aliens who built the overshadowing statue are long gone.' Even if they're not there's no way you're gonna be afraid of a woman.
You set the jet down in some sandy hills on the outskirts of the city and pop the hatch. Pistol at the ready, you step out into the hot dry air. The abrasive wind convinces you to fish your helmet out of the cockpit before going further. You fit the clunky thing on and click the visor into place. Eyes now free of irritation you scan the landscape through tinted glass.
"Arid and dead," you say to yourself. 'Just like the scans.' A scampering sound behind one of the nearby mounds, however, forces you to recant your analysis. You walk toward it laser first. Crouching down you stealthily ease yourself over the gritty sand to spy beyond the hill.
On the far side you see... nothing. You are about to lower your laser, putting it off to the wind when a sudden impact knocks you down the hill. Halfway to the bottom you realize something is rolling along with you. It's large and scaly and its sharpened teeth are snapping with ferocity at your helmet. You use the momentum of the fall to throw the lizard off you and come up ready, laser aimed at the beast. Before you pull the trigger, however, you realize your attacker is not a lizard but a dinosaur. It looks something like a velociraptor, standing on two legs, body bristling with claws and teeth, yellow eyes full of cruel cunning. It wouldn't matter if you were facing a T-rex; though, not with this weapon. You pull the trigger sending a blade of lazer light slicing through the animals neck. It falls over shuddering as its cold blood drains out onto the hot ground.
Not knowing that the creature you face is a pack hunter, you holster the weapon and turn only to find three of the beasts stalking you. Before you can draw your pistol the nearest one bowls you over knocking it from your hand. You look up into its salivating maw.
