     The first planting of herbs and flowers on another planet by humans
Don , Margaret , Alan , Cecil and Jackie were five of the world’s leading scientific based horticulturists who were experimenting with generating and growing plant life on Luniasa ; a new planet that had mysteriously appeared in our solar system through a hole in space and now there was a possibility of the colonisation of people and plants from earth , Luniasa had an atmosphere similar to earth and the five horticulturists were going to use a new self generating seedpod in the atmosphere on Luniasa which was the first part of establishing life from earth on the planet .
The process of forcing a massive plantation of seedpods , placed upon swinging web-sheet beds inside artificial growth chambers on Luniasa , This plantation of herbs and flowers , trees and shrubs was first attempt at growing plants outside earth . Partly in a natural and partly in an artificial environment .
Cosmetic backdrops would be put in place with a projected sky that would projected from satellites on to three massive extendable screens fitted with vision and sound.
These three Espace Satellites would be projecting images of clouds and sky along with audio effects to make the Luniasa feel and look like earth . The three Espace satellites were orbit the planet projecting and playing music and videos on three large extendable screens and alternative projecting to the other display screen videos of a sky formation and clouds ,
The journey from earth to Lunisa was only five days so it was launch time for the five botanists who we eager to get the project underway . With a final check of fuel and batteries for all the equipment they were ready for take off .
The five scientific horticulturists with all the seedpods on board their mother earth ship were on their way to Luniasa to begin the plantation process and during that process they would be living on board the Mother Earth ship for nine months establishing all of the seeds into their web sheet beds .
After the flight they landed on Luniasa and went to work immediately mass planting the seedpod web sheets but never in a million years did they expect what happened All of the seedpods instantly established and grew at a very fast speed right before their eyes , In seconds there were trees and shrubs , plants and flowers growing everywhere ,
There was no logical explanation for why this had happened but no one really cared about that . As far as the eye could the surface on Luniasa was filled with colour and plant life. Nobody tried to explain or understand what was happening , they were all enjoying the experience laughing hysterically at the speed of instant growth everywhere . The laughter stopped and turned to screams of fear when suddenly these creatures from above came flying down and they went into a frenzy eating up all of the plants and flowers that had just grown .

The five all stood there speechless as the landscape , The airborne army of flying locus like creatures soon departed after stripping everything bare however immediately the seedpods reappear and multiply with regrowth of the plants and shrubs occurring as before fast and plentiful with other strange creatures emerging from underneath the ground who started eating the herbs and flowers , The plants were again stropped bare only for more seedpods to appear everywhere germinating speedily into new regrowth all over the landscape .

The crew inside the ship turned to each other and said ,
“What we have here is a hungry species . “

“We really need to relay this information back to earth “
As the tried to communicate with earth all the channels went dead . They could not speak or relay any information about what was happening and strangely enough all their cameras and monitoring equipment had been disabled .
The planter not was covered with shrubs and trees like with ground cover of green herbs , Life was flourishing everywhere with new insects appearing in the air and on the ground .
It was time for Mother Earth ship to return and the crew where eager to do that so they could tell the story about life on Luniasa .
On the day they were leaving , those airborne creatures arrived and hovered around the ship . They all began to wave as if in appreciation for what the crew had done .

Some of the creatures from under the surface also appeared and started jumping and dancing and they also waved goodbye as The Mother Earth Ship lifted off from the planet and into space
,
Then the next thing the crew saw as the entire planet disappearing .
When they returned to earth the news was given that Luniasa had slipped back through a hole in space and was nowhere to be seen .
The had come and gone from the solar system in a such a brief moment .
When the crew of horticulturists explained what had happened on the planet everyone just looked at each other in total disbelief .
Some said , it was a time to be proud of the human race for saving an unknown hungry species from extinction .

The incident on Luniasa was just like a movie , everything that happened and everything they had done could not possibly be reapplied to other unknown planets that might slip through holes in space ,

The End
