CHAPTER2

I am Stuck in the middle of

the biggest battle you've ever seen, just Trying to survive. I'll always seem

to survive no matter what I get myself into. So, I was asking to get to the Veridian

spaceship called Interstellar Odyssey. This tiny spaceship cruiser did not have

many cannons but did have the ship Adaptive Shielding, which was the best you

could buy. I was to get someone on the boat with information to stop the war

between us, the Aquilonis and our enemy, the Veridian. I was told we needed to return

this person to our government quickly. So, they could find out what information

they had, what proof they had about the explosion and why the Veridians had not

done it.  So, we could stop this war

between us, and there could be peace again between us. But we all knew it was challenging

to get peace on our planet again because of how this all started between us in

the first place. Our families have been separated for about 18 years without

communication, and many bridges need to be amended to come back together.

So, I am enrooting the

Odyssey. We were fast and moved to the big warships as the battle continued.

So, Z and I knew getting through this battle in one piece would be challenging.

But we always could work our way through ships, and no one asked what we were

up to because this one was top secret. Only top brass knew what we were going

to do on this trip. If we got caught by anyone, they would deny everything and not

know why we were there. We were getting shot at by both sides because my Ship

had no marking; I could blend in with both subsidies. I had to get from one

side to retrofitted my ship with an Echo Tranquilizer, so we did not destroy

any ships we fired at; it just stopped the engines and any firepower they had.

Our scientists and engineers specially designed it, making it into a weapon so

we could board the ship without any injuries or deaths. As I flew towards the

struggle between our ships, I didn't know as much where I was going. I started

to dodge the missiles first because they could be fired from a long distance

away, and they would be locked on their target. I found this a bit too easy for

now. My flying skills came in handy to keep us out of trouble. I flow towards

the struggle between our ships, we don't get to know as much where I am going.

I started to dodge the missiles first because they could be fired from a long

distance away, and they would be locked on their target. I found this a bit too

easy for now. My flying skills came in." very well, plus I seem to know where

to go at the right time. My sixth sense just helped, and having Z know what to

do simultaneously too. As we worked towards the Veridians, we

lost count of how many missiles we dodged. I see a lot of them now. But now we were

in the range of the laser cannon. So, the amount we had to do has increased

even more now, and our shields will have to work overtime. Once through all

that, we knew it was not over yet. The Veridians sent out fighter ships because

planes were moved close to their base ship. We worked away from the base ship

so the fighter ships could not reach us because of fuel. But the big problem

was one of the Veridian cruiser's spaceships started to move towards us so they

could see what we were doing. We found where the Odyssey was and locked their

coordinates. They were trying to look like they were helping with the battle.

We set our computer to the nearest planet and moved away from VSS Aetherstar,

VSS stands for Verilonis Star Ships. As soon as we got to the nearest plant, we

returned to where the Odyssey was.

The

plant is called The Exionis farming facility, which seems to be an advanced

agricultural system on a desolate planet. From the spacecraft's viewpoint, the

large, luminous fields are arranged in a precise grid pattern, each emitting a

gentle, neon glow. These lights brighten the crops, creating a striking

contrast against the dark, rocky terrain of the planet.

Sleek,

towering structures dominate the area, likely containing cutting-edge farming

technology. Aerial drones hover, overseeing the crops with exactitude. The

entire facility appears to Be. They optimised artificial lighting and advanced

technology for maximum efficiency to ensure optimal growth in harsh planetary Conditions.

The planet itself is barren, surrounded by rugged rock formations, And in the distance,

the vastness of space is visible, adorned with stars and distant celestial

bodies. The Spacecraft Hovers Just above, offering a sweeping view of the

facility's intricate designs and high-tech operations. Verilonis

and us, the Aquilonis, buy fruit and other plant-based foods. The finely

balanced Environment helps everything grow and survive, and it also helps them

improve their infrastructure. Additionally, we get fish from there because the

air and water are not polluted. It also helps them improve their infrastructure.

So we had the co-coordinates of

the Odyssey. Hopefully, it's not moved far from where it was before heading

towards Exionis. So here we go back in the massive battle to get the significant

person and the data to back The information they had could stop the war between

us. They had lots of information and data to prove it was not the Veridian's

that blow up our spaceship during the race to Earth. The hard part will be

docking with the Odyssey to collect the special envoy to bring back to our

planet. I expect missiles and laser cannon fire to come my way. We will be deep

in Emery's zone, but once we dock, we will have our ship defence shields up.

So, we engage our Starblade Velocity drive to get where we need to be at the

right time. It will not be accessible with the battle commencing all around us.

We get there just in time, so we hook up the airlock, the fastest we have ever

done. We were fast anyway because of our smuggling you don't want to be slow at

it if you are you will get court with what ever you are doing.

So, as we lined up with The

Odyssey, we got a full airlock, so we had to fast. We grab the cable from the

Odyssey to download it to a stand-alone computer, and it's not connected to any

networks. Then, as that was downloading, The person we picked up came down the

ladder.  I could tell it was a female,

her name is Elara Dran-Tai which was my first impression. She was gorgeous and

looked high up in the Veridian hierarchy, so if I were to get court with her on

our ship. She was an envoy for a Diplomatic mission to bring medical supplies

as needed. But hopefully, we won't get stopped by anyone. Elara Dran-Tai comment

I hope this ship can get us there fast and she seen how run down it was and

also said will this hunk of scrap get us there. The ship may not look like

much, but when I need it to perform, it never lets me down and it will get us

there very fast. Do don't forget she from the Veridian hierarchy and probably

never been on a spaceship like this. She probably use to looked after by everyone

else.

 Did I mention that it can reach speeds of up

to 14,000 times the speed of light? It's incredible! We can fly from the

Veridian continent to our continent, Aquilonis, in about 4 minutes and 7

seconds, which is approximately the same distance as flying from London to New

York. The probe informed us about this years ago, and I believe it has probably

become even faster since then. Even if we were to visit the speed would likely

be even faster as we flew back through the battle to the Aquilonis side, bringing

back the Aquilonis lead battle cruiser, Blizzard Wing. It is a big, older

spaceship, one of the first battlecruisers built at the start of the war. It

has undergone many upgrades and modifications to keep it operational. Although

it should have been retired, we do not have the time to build a new one.

Furthermore, everyone is familiar with it, and our academy cadets have learned

how to fly and maintain it.

So we worked our way back through

the battle, and it was made a bit easier because our front light was changed to

medical lights flashing from, red and blue, from left to right. So they thought

it was a medical ship or running medical supplies it the medical ship. So here

we go back to the Blizzard, then to Our Government. With all the new

information about the expansion and with Elara Dran-Tai. So it can be explained

that it was not Veridian and how it was and how it was and why they did it. So we

do have one problem getting back we have our shields equally all over our ships

now. There will be laser fire and missiles everywhere from ours and Veridian

battle cruisers. As we fly through it all without a scratch, we hope. There were

ships in close-quarters combat with fighters trying to take both out. I had to

squeeze through them as I scraped against

one of our spaceships. It knocked one of our guns off, but apart from that, it is

ok. That will be an excuse for a weapons upgrade now when we get back. In the distance,

I could see the Blizzard getting hit by missiles. So, I  may have to take Elara Dran-Tai back to our

planet and our government. So, I was trying to get in touch with Blizzard. But

there's no reply back at the moment. I'll keep trying, but it does not look

good for the Blizzard. As I see one of the docking bays get hit by a missile.

So it looks like I will have to run towards our planet pad. What's going to be

hard to be because both sides had agreed the battles would take place on our

planet. So both sides set up a defence shield around our planet so the planet

can keep on living a so-called routine for how to live on the planet. This is a

private company set by us Aquilonis and Veridian government. At first, it was

handed over to a big corporation that used to run the armed forces to protect

our planet called Planet Protection. The big problem Is that I don't have any reason

to return to Xyrlaxis. The second problem is that I do not have any clearance to

go there. So we may have to tell them we have a Diplomat on board and see if

that will let us think. There is one other way we could try saying we have someone

who needs major surgery. Or we may have to pull a giant rabbit out of a hat at

that point. At that point as you would say on Earth shit hit the fan (we leaned

that saying from the probe form Earth). Of course, we learned a lot from the

probe, both good and bad things. So we have brought Earth saying into our culture

and made them our own. So there maybe make it The situation has grown dire, and

a sense of urgency hangs heavy in the air. We find ourselves staring down the

daunting reality that I lack the clearance to step foot in that critical area.

The stakes are rising, and we may have no choice but to invoke our last

resort—claiming we have a Diplomat on board. Perhaps this ruse will grant us

passage, a fleeting hope in a sea of uncertainty.

But there's another desperate

gambit at our disposal: we might just have to fabricate a tale of urgency,

saying one of us is facing a life-or-death surgical crisis. The weight of our

predicament presses down like a storm on the horizon; we're teetering on the

edge, and it feels as if we might have to pull a giant rabbit out of a hat to

escape this mess.

As you would say back on

Earth, when the chaos truly erupts, it feels as if shit has hit the fan. That

saying, learned from our probe's data, resonates with us now, a reminder of the

chaotic nature of our current plight. We've absorbed so much from those distant

messages, both enlightening and troubling, and adopted their phrases into our

lexicon, transforming them to fit our narrative, our life.

But time is slipping away, and

the weight of our decisions looms ever larger. The tension is palpable, and we

must act—before the moment slips irrevocably from our grasp. So as the our

battlecruiser the Blizzard looks like it in trouble We cAnd not land in the

landing bays because both are on fire now. It will take a lot of time to get

the fires under control now. So I have only one choice: no: we head back to

Xyrlaxis and see if we can get through the defence shields and get passed the

united plant protection. As I was saying before, it will not be easy, but we do

have one thing in my favour. I still have my medical lights flashing red and

blue, so we had telling them that we have someone facing a life-or-death

surgical crisis could work that could work. I'd also tell them that our Medic was

injured as well so we minimum so we have no choice to bring them back to Xyrlaxis.

So we had to be quick and they had to let us in hopefully. So here it goes as I

start to call out to the Planet Protection on the radio hopefully they reply

back quickly. But no response but we have a bit of time to get there so see

what happens. When we get there we do have security codes to help with the Plant

Protection Security. Because we was flying towards the defence shields without

any chance. I know we would get two planet protection security ships coming

towards as we get closer. We got close to our planet two ship appears both

sides of my ship. Till me to slow down and then asked us what are you doing

here "Can we land without any clearance?" I demanded, my heart racing as

urgency clawed at my throat. "We have a medical emergency—we need to touch down

on that planet's surface, and we need to do it now!" Tension hung thick in the

air as they pressed for details. "What kind of emergency?"

My pulse thundered in my ears

as I fought to keep my composure. "It's a dire situation! An ambassador is

critically injured, and our medic has been hurt as well! We're racing against

time!"

Panic surged through me, every

heartbeat echoing the gravity of our plight. We had done everything humanly

possible, but the stakes had never I have been higher. I scrambled to send a

secure message to our government, knowing That the clock was relentlessly ti"Meet

us at the medical centre," I typed furiously, feeling the weight of our

collective fate resting on my shoulders. They needed to be prepared to greet

our diplomat with the uMost care—lives depended on it. As the countdown

approached, I could sense the suffocating pressure of every second slipping

away, the fragility of life swirling in a tempest of fear and urgency. I then

radioed our government on a secure frequency to inform them to meet us at the

medical centre and replay and told them what Happened. I explained the original

plan and the situation with the Blizzard, emphasising their need to wait for

clearance to descend to our planet after requesting assistance in Extinguish; I

am using the onboard fires. As we await updates from Plant Protection Security,

the two figHer ships flanked us, and I instructed Z to make it look like we were

under significant pressure to reach our planet. However, I also told Z to

prepare the computer to initiate our escape if the situation deteriorates. Z

confirmed that they had already completed this task and set the course back to

Exionis if necessary. I understand that the fighter ships are fast, but they

likely don't have enough fuel to pursue us, and they wouldn't know where we've

gone. I could tell them I was given a ring from Admiral Lucius Ironstar and how his reputation is well known

though out our planet from both sides. But let's hope I don't need to use it yet

because I'll need that when I am to something that i can not talk my way out of

it or i need someone do something.
