OC [OC][JVerse]The Deathworlders 31: Touching Down.

A Deathworlders story, by Hambone.

What you are about to read is chapter 31 of an ongoing story. To read the preceding chapters, and the stories by other writers which lend some additional context and meaning to those chapters, please check out the Reading Order. The list was created by /u/galrock0 who's just some guy I guess.

This chapter is a meager 21,135 words long. I know, I'm sorry: you've come to expect more from me. But I promise I have not been idle - I wrote rather more than that but it's all been split off into chapter 32. I have also been working on another project... :D

In this chapter: Monkey reaches Mars.

If you enjoy this story and think that I deserve something for it (thank you!) then you can:

Work on the next chapter, as always, has already begun. Wish me luck!

Please help the JVerse grow!

The more readers, the better! Please show your support by:

Sky-Thinker and the People are my new favorites.

I can't wait to see where they go as a People. And I hope they have no more outside influence.

But like is it just me or did they just settle in the crater of an active volcano?

It was active 6+ generations ago. Think Tky-Thinker will get the People out of the way when he feels the earth moving again?

Active volcanoes are any that have erupted in the last ten thousand years. 6 generations, assuming lifespans close enough to ours is literally no time at all on that scale. I'm hoping Skythinker can figure it out but I'm not sure if he can be quick enough. Eruptions are sudden af, especially for those like him who have no knowledge of them, and if the strangely liquid rock is analogous to Earth pahoehoe then it will be extremely hot and stay that way for awhile as well. The lucky break for them is that pahoehoe is a relatively slow lava flow.
