From Andromeda, the galaxy looked like just another fuzzy point of light dotting the infinite void of the cosmos. As he approached close enough, he noticed its spiral shape with its arms of higher concentrations of stars. Located about two thirds out from the centre, in one of the spiral arms, was the small solar system that was his destination. Its young star had spawned ten planets and faithfully held them in perfect balance as it gave them its gravity, heat and light. In its life sphere, that is the sphere of space around itself where water existed as liquid, solid and gas, the young star had formed its life planet. Through it, he believed, the star expressed its consciousness and its spirit. How exquisitely beautiful the life planet appeared to him, floating out there with its dead moon for company. He thought that it looked almost like a carbon copy of his home planet, Rama. What a contrast it was to what he had just rendezvoused with on the way there. The fifty miles long, twenty miles wide boulder encrusted ice block he checked out on the way wasn’t streaming a comet tail yet, but it still looked menacing as hell. He knew that the tail would appear when it got close enough to the star; around about the orbit sphere of the sixth planet of the solar system he was visiting. As he approached the life planet, he admired its most striking feature, water. He flew towards the warmer, southern hemisphere where he saw a very large island surrounded by expansive oceans. He slowly began his descent through the atmosphere. On the spur of the moment he chose to aim his intergalactic cruiser towards the most easterly point on the east coast of the island, because
