Ship Sighted!

You are standing guard atop your 'Watchtower' made by tieing three of the coconut trees together with rope counting down the last few hours to the reset and having to start "Project: Goatocide" all over again, when something strange appears on the horizon. It's a shimmering set of stars, rolling and bouncing where no stars should be, but it's far away from you and stars have never done you any harm, so you put it from your mind as you resume your sentry rounds, climbing down and patrolling the island until with only two hours or so to go on the reset you return to the tree and discover that the stars are MUCH closer, in fact, they're close enough to see what they are and you realize the correct term: }Ship! It's A Ship!{ you think in both alarm and wonder and hustle yourself back down toward the beach where other intelligent beings are going to be landing on your island within minutes!
