(The idea behind this chain revolves around the crew of a ship after landing on an unknown world, where they encounter several kinds of COMPLETELY and utterly alien beings, and eventually become alien to themselves, figuratively and literally. Try to think way outside of the box, unusual biology, odd numbers, such as 11 limbs, 129 eyes, etc.)

On all decks, approximately 250 crew, men and women, checked and double checked hull integrity, system stability, and mechanics, all preparing to land on the planet. Though none of them had ever seen the planet, they knew from remote sensors and scans that the planet could support life, though various unmanned drones sent to the planets surface seemed to vanish almost immediately after arriving, the scientists back on earth suspected a powerful electromagnetic field as the culprit. All of them where excited, they had all signed on knowing the risks, explorers, each and every one of them. Perhaps the most excited however, was the young, and exquisitely attractive Sarah Whitman, 23 years old, with the body of a supermodel and perfect DD breasts, which caused her more trouble than not from certain men on board the vessel, but she paid it little mind as she stared out the window, casually looking back down at her work. Sarah's specialty was biology, a field that she was quite enthusiastic about, and already her mind was swarming with the possibilities the unknown ecosystem held for her. The ship shook as planetary entry was achieved, flames rushing over the heat shielding that protected the crew, several of whom grasped the nearest rooted item for support as the tremors increased. Soon, very soon, they would set foot on the planet they had traveled a year to see...
