They take the artifacts

Freda pondered for a second as she was looking at the artifacts, nodding to herself she looks back to her fiancé with a smile "Okay, let's do this; lets grab these artifacts, take them back to the ship and find out what they are ourselves." Freda said with conviction in her voice with each passing word. Walking closer to the platforms that hold the artifacts both Freda and Noreis tentatively reached their hands towards two of the floating artifacts getting ready to grab them; Freda with the orb and Noreis with the cube.

Turing to face one another a silent agreement was formed as the two nodded at each other. Three. Two. One. At once both Noreis and Freda grabbed their respected artifacts. With two of the three artifacts in hand Freda went to grab the last one, but before she could a loud and deep rumbling began shaking the entire room to the point that the two lost their balance and nearly fell over. "Let's go now!" Noreis yelled as loud as he could in hopes that his voice could be heard over the rumbling. Quickly grabbing the gem Freda ran towards the exit with Noreis.

Running through the 'wall', out of the cave entrance, and onto the beach the two didn't stop until they heard a series of cracks and explosions behind them. Turning around they saw the cave they just ran out of collapse. A chilling thought went through both Noreis and Freda mind; if they were just a few seconds to slow then they would have been dead. Taking a moment to take in their surroundings and to have a quick breather they felt the ground beneath their feet quake, they saw the sea writhing, and beyond the horizon they saw a wall of some kind continuously rising from the sea and into the sky.

"Dropship now!" Freda yelled to spur them onward. As they ran towards the dropship, they saw more walls rise. Once they got to the dropship, they saw the walls begin to connect to one another. Running inside Noreis quickly got into the pilot seat and began the startup procedures while Freda got into the copilot seat. Looking at the sensor's readout at the copilot station Freda heart sunk into a pit. "Noreis, we need to leave right now." Freda said in a soft and terrified voice. "I'm working on it." Noreis replied with slight irritation. "Well work faster; there are multiple walls rising and connecting all over the planet. And if we don't leave in the next five minutes then we will be stuck under the forming dyson sphere." Freda shot back. "Wait! This planet is a dyson sphere!?" Noreis cried out in alarm. "No. From what the scans are telling me the dyson sphere was somehow compressed from inside the planet, but now it's coming out and forming itself over the planet." Freda answered.

With the situation of what is happing fully understood Noreis doubled his efforts, and in less than a minute the dropship was ready for takeoff. "Freda call up the ship and get in contact with the A.I." Noreis called out while he began flying the dropship towards their ship in orbit. "Already on it. "Freda answered back. "A.I., do you read us?" "Affirmative co-captain Freda is there anything you wish of me?" "Yes. I am giving you the current flight trajectory and I need you to move the ship so we can enter it as soon as possible but keep a from the forming dyson sphere we don't want you to get trapped under the dome." "Acknowledge, moving the ship to minimum saft distance." "Good, over and out." Just as Freda ended the connection between the A.I. and dropship she saw from her terminal four rising dyson spheres parts on a path to connect to each other, and when the pieces connect the entire planet will be covered by the sphere.

"Noreis, please tell me you are going as fast as you can." Freda said with concern. "Don't worry I got." Noreis replied. As the dropship soared higher the dyson sphere parts was moving closer to each other. Freda gripped the arm rest of her seat with all her might making her knuckles turning white form the strain, her eyes widen with the fear of not being able to make it out in time, her heart pounding like a drum in her head, and her breathing was short and ragged. She was the very picture of fear and anxiety. Noreis on the other hand was more confident in his ability to get them back to their ship, but that didn't stop the fear of the possibly of not making it out sink in. As the seconds went by the ship flew higher and higher nearly escaping outside of the closing dome. And just as the ship made it out the dyson sphere closed behind them two seconds later.

"See, told you I got it." Noreis said to his fiancée after breathing a sigh of relief. Hearing nothing but deep and sharp breathing he turned his head to look at Freda. He saw her leaning back into the copilot as far as she could, hands still griping the armrest as if her life depended on it, and eyes wide and transfixed. "Freda. Freda!" Noreis called out to her as he put his right hand on her shoulder and lightly shook her. "Wha- Yes. I'm good. Just a little shell shocked is all. For now, on if we ever get another job I'm staying on the ship, and we will send a team of ground forces to do it for us." Freda said as she slowed down her breathing and became calmer. "Ground forces? You want us to hire ground forces?" Noreis questioned. "Yes, just three or four. We can pay them to do the jobs that could put us in harm's way." Freda answered back. "Okay but first we are going to land in the hanger bay, then we are going to the nearest colonized planet and message our employer." Noreis said.
