into others of their kind.
This was a huge relief for the Watchers, as now they had pure samples and could work from these humans to undo the damage the Greys had perpetrated. The other life forms on the ship would undergo similar testing to see if they had suffered genetic damage, or if they were intact.
The quarantine period passed and showed no further dangers for the life forms to be introduced to the Watcher’s planet, apart from breeding concerns. The damaged ones would be removed from breeding with the untouched ones, and the Watchers would work to see if the genetic damage could be reversed on live subjects. Further tests would also be run on creating more humans from samples of sperm and eggs, to see what was the best way to heal the damage. This plan would take a lot of work, and the Watchers dispatched extra robots to help them complete all the tasks needed.
As their workers did this, the Watchers discussed the latest findings and made their plans for returning the other life forms besides humans to wholeness. The healed, and also the untouched, life forms would be sent back to Earth on other ships to reseed the planet with untainted stock. Healthy embryos, of both human and animal kinds, would be implanted into their respective females, and they would be the start of a new generation in turning the genetic tide back on the Earth. Seeds too, for a wide variety of plants that were pure, would be sent to Earth to assist in the reclaiming genetic effort.
The Earth man who had laid the flowers on the stasis chamber of the dead woman (and for all he knew, his dead child), was most interesting to the Watchers. He was obviously intelligent, more intelligent a creature than the Watchers had expected to find on Earth at that time. They studied him, letting him roam free in a wilderness area they had constructed, much like Earth's. This was also where the other humans, animals, and plants from the collection on the ship were put.
At first, the man was quite scared to enter this new territory, as he had been used to the environment on the ship for the better part of a year. Even though the ship was not Earth it had become familiar to him, and he knew what was safe there. Not so in his new habitat on the Watcher's planet.
Their were various climates on the planet, made possible by the advanced technology the Watchers possessed. Of course, the Watchers didn't need any special climate as they usually existed as energy. But they did like to have pleasant surroundings, and so they kept the climate around their dwelling places calm and beautiful, with sunlight and lots of cosmic energy streaming in to energize their light bodies at all times.
This cosmic energy was detrimental to the life forms from Earth in any substantial quantities, so it was curtailed by way of an ozone layer over the habitat of the Earth creatures, and the area was made as much like Earth's wild, temperate regions as possible.
Other climatic areas of the planet included seas, deserts, and frozen zones—all the different types of climates on the Earth were reproduced here, on the Watcher's world. The weather shifted and morphed, controlled by an intelligent biosphere put in place by the Watchers, monitored by their great computers.
The Watchers saw this as a giant preserve of life from Earth, and they had similar preserves on other planets where life forms had been placed, gathered from other worlds. Yes, the Watchers had found that there were other planets with life forms, but they were few. The Earth was especially rare in its diversity of life, and the Watchers took extra care to see that the life forms they had obtained from there were well taken care of.
Taking life forms from planets was a form of interference with the free will of the life forms, it was true. But the Watchers felt that taking the precaution to have a sample of the life forms outweighed the interference; they knew how worlds could be destroyed and life forms wiped out. Now,
