“A few more minutes till destination, if you have any question, now would be the chance to ask.”100B announced to an infinitely expanding white floor, himself hunched over a monitor, making sure every piece of information is in place.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, are we supposed to just go down, drop some knowledge, maybe advance their technology, and live for like 500 years? There is no way this is allowed right?” An identical figure replied, sitting on a beanbag, glass of ember colored liquid in hand, admiring the outside view.

“You sure you don’t want some of this? Might be decades before you taste this again.” The voice called out again after emptying the glass. With the liquid gone, the glass started to fog up, and soon with a gust of wind it was no more.

100B remained silent, still scrolling through section after section, article after article. The result of millions of years of research across thousands of sentient species combined into this data set.

“Let’s be honest.” He stood up from the beanbag and walked towards 100B, changing the display on the monitor on the way “Even if there is something missing we can’t really do much about it, just relax.”

An earth like planet was put on display, blue oceans, green and purple terrain, some yellow in between. “Aren’t we a tad bit early? That thing looks somewhat purple in certain areas.” He asked.

“We are right on time.” B replied “Those are just for fun, I wanted some purple plants. Now, humans, aka homo sapiens will be our vesicle this time, a few pointers…”

“Yes, yes, I've been a human for the past 90 something years, I know. Limbs and teeth don’t grow back, don’t eat yellow snow and such.” The figure waltzed by, spinning the displayed planet around as he passed, a few glaring red dots caught his eye “By the way are we expecting any signals from this planet? That is a lot of warnings”

B stabilized the spinning globe and took a closer look “Probably the probe we sent out, nothing to worry about. Anyways, you know the drill, 500 years of life expectancy, the whole dataset would be available, we don’t have to drink or eat for the first week, and are immune to most if not all of infections/viruses for at least 250 years...”

“Well, no, I don’t really know any of this, I was just asked by some voice if I wanted another go, I said yes, and here we are.”

“Right, that” B took in a deep breath “You know how this is going to play out right?”

“That I do, you would be on my left hand side, backup arrives in something like 200 years, senses don’t work for the first few hours, try not to kill yourselves, if no one pops out of thin air to stop you from doing things then the results can’t be that bad, etcetera etcetera.” He paused for a while “What if we die? Will the weird voice ask if we want another go?”

“Why don’t you know… Fine, um, we don’t really … Crap, how do I explain this to you?” B took a glimpse of countdown timer, with numbers rapidly dropping he opted for a simple explanation “Aight, if you die, you die, no second chance, no voice asking, you just die”

“What was the first part about?”

“Don’t worry, you just die.”

“Well that’s assuring.”

“Grand, everything is set, here we go. I’ll see you down there 100C, best of luck.”
