The jeep team eventually discovers structures resembling graves and hundreds of preserved skeletons, and adjacent to it, a settlement. After an attack never comes, they assemble their jeep and half the team sets out to explore further, the other half remaining behind to repair the ship. Killing the pilot and fleeing in his vehicle, they return to the ship and prepare defenses. Eventually they come into conflict with a vehicle's pilot, who is a doubler. The next day, setting out to find a source of water, the expedition begins to come into contact with the local civilization, and their strange, top-like vehicles. They name these large creatures, with small torsos retractable into their large bodies, doublers (from "double-bodied", in original (Polish): dubelty). At the crash site they find a local creature has entered their vessel. There they find a constant cycle of materials being produced and then destroyed and recycled. After escaping their wrecked ship they set out to explore the planet, first traveling through an unsettling wilderness and coming upon an abandoned automated factory. A starship crew-Captain (in the original, Coordinator), Doctor, Engineer, Chemist, Physicist and Cyberneticist (robotics expert)-crash land on an alien world they call Eden.
