1 WIP Chapter 1 Only

The starcraft Trigo-183 had never been painted, except for the red symbol plastered onto both sides. It resembled a birdlike creature taking flight, a symbol of peace in the empty space around Wise 0855-0714. Jayn had been aboard Trigo-183 for almost 4 years. She worked in the part of the ship that repaired all of the damaged items owned by the crew, and she was responsible for their mechanical items. Mechanical movement was very difficult to understand due to the digitalization of the universe, so being in charge of all of it was a very high honor.

One day, while waiting for items to come in, Jayn decided to take a break in the lounge area. It was then that her chest-mounted VisTron vibrated, and an image was projected onto the air in front of her. It looked like a man smiling, laughing even. The text read, "Incoming Call: Zeck Pytt." Two buttons were also projected, one in green and one in red. Jayn decided to press the green button. The image morphed into the same man, but older.

Jayn smiled. "Hey, Zeck. How've you been?" She took a seat and focused on the image in front of her. Wow, he's gotten older than I thought. When was the last time I talked to this guy?

Zeck smiled back and even chuckled a little bit. "I been doin' just fine, other than the pain in m' back." Zeck chuckled a bit more, but Jayn could see the pain in his old, yellow eyes.

Zeck was not human. In fact, Jayn wasn't either. Both of them came from the planet Ivyn, a lush green planet similar to Earth, but mainly had silicone-based life, rather than carbon-based. Most of the intelligent life had evolved to be bipedal, with 4 digits on each foot, and anywhere from 4 to 6 digits on their hands, one of which being opposable, used as a thumb, and helped with the species' success over the planet.

The skin tones of the Ivycs ranged from green to blue to purple and sometimes, rarely, pink. Their eyes were extremely similar to those of a human's, but where human eye colors stopped, Ivycs' barely started. The evolution of Ivyc beings led to the areas around their irises being dyed a deep black, while the iris itself became colors ranging from black to brown to orange to yellow, with most of them being orange or yellow.

As Zeck finished his chuckle, he looked back at Jayn. "Jayn, we need to get back together. Here, on Mars. I wanna…" His voice trailed off. His eyes focused yet again on Jayn. "Look. just come here. I need you for something extremely important." Jayn thought his eyes were very sincere, so she decided that this was something very personal.
