Your eyes seemingly take a long time to clear from the bright flash of the teleporter pad.  You look down beneath your feet to see that you are standing on an identical replica of the teleporter pad that you helped to construct in the laboratory.  Your sense of un-ease grows as your eyes slowly adjust to the light levels.  It wasn't the bright flash of teleporter light that hindered your vision: the bright light of the Sun in the sky burning its way through the blue atmosphere is positively causing your to squint.

Looking around you, it appears that you are on a beach.  The sound of waves caressing the shore draws your eyes out to an ocean; azure blue and sparkling in the sun-drenched light.  In the distance, beyond the rippling waves, you see another island off-shore: a green gemstone against a brilliant sky.

Turning on the spot, you look toward the interior of the island that you are standing on.  Dense, tropical foliage covers the soil as the beach slopes upward and touches the soils.

You are unsure of where you are.  What do you do next?
