Ethan's point of view...Secret mission...!It gave me a thrilling experience just by hearing it. Imagining a whole thriller movie before me where I am the only hero.I started guessing around if I am going to fight with some notorious aliens or going to attack some other planet.But soon my excitement came to rest as I received the details of the mission.I was still so excited when Captain Ven told me about the headquarters, but also my excitement turned into some kind of suspicion.I heard a voice that was so familiar but for sure it wasn't Captain Ven's.Then who...?When I asked, he instantly smacked my doubt making me even more suspicious about the person who talked unknowingly.But I couldn't sort it out, what can I do being on the spacecraft?I had to get along quietly.Now that I am here on this journey, I must focus on the task ahead instead.With a resolute nod, I accepted the mission and quickly turned on my heels, leaving the present signal and tuning to the one I got fro
Ethan's point of view...As I stood there, my entire being focused on confronting the colossal figure illuminating in that dark room, that had haunted my thoughts, I was sure I have seen him that day when my world was destroyed before my eyes. Without giving it another thought I used the octovator hung on me, it is a device allotted to us. It has eight infrared strings attached that can clench any huge figure just in seconds. I know it was for the mission but the monster before me was more important for me right now. But A sudden force pulled me back with astonishing strength and the door slid close. Before I could react, I hurtled through the air, my body colliding with the unforgiving surface of a nearby wall. Pain surged through my entire body as I crumpled against it, disoriented and gasping for air. My vision swirled, flickering as the impact reverberated through my systems. The world around me spun, and I struggled to regain my bearings. What had just happened? Who or what h
Ethan's point of view...The journey was long, but we kept ourselves occupied with our telepathic conversation. After a while, I felt a weird change in the atmosphere, and in addition to that suddenly Ava alerted us, "Hey guys, stop where you are"We were all surprised but as we all know that Ava is an expert in land analysis, we have to trust her. "What's wrong bro?" My teammates were impatient, why won't they be, the place we were in was nothing but suffocating, dark tunnels.If not for the system powers we would have already suffocated to death."Stay still and focus on anything you feel odd about that place," I said concentrating on the waves coming from within the tunnels.When the realization hit my core, I yelled a command for my team to retrieve it. The weird waves were nothing but a chemical gas coming out from the tunnel and if I am right, that is only the beginning. There must be some kind of chemical or liquid flowing behind."Guys get back to the land," I hissed, "Faste
Ethan's point of view...I was literally confused, I had been in that spacecraft for more than three days, but seriously, I never saw something like that.Reaching the vessel, I embarked on the task of locating that device, something that looks like a missile.Even after searching for it everywhere, I couldn't find it within the confines of my spacecraft, a sense of urgency and anticipation gripped me. The anticipation that this crucial component held the potential to alter the course of disturbing those shadow forces intensified my determination. With each passing moment, I meticulously combed through the various compartments and sections of the spacecraft, my fingers navigating the controls and panels with a mix of skill and anxiety. I tried to connect to Captain Ven again but I couldn't.The soft hum of the ship's systems seemed to echo my heartbeat as I ventured deeper into its interior, scanning every nook and cranny for the elusive device. The low lighting cast elongated sha
Ethan's point of view...To hide ourselves, we were commanded to hide our spacecraft inside a huge artificial asteroid that looks exactly like a real one. It was just a holographic illusion used to hide the spacecraft. It was prepared with advanced technology which can't be traced even using an efficient tracing system. We flew over to the planet with the help of our flying suite. We managed to go and come back unnoticed but at last, our trick did not stay hidden before those extremely observant shadow forces. As directed, the brilliant streak of light from the device's impact on Efrodo's planet faded into memory, and a new chapter of uncertainty began. The tranquility that had momentarily settled over the spacecraft was shattered by a sudden alert klaxon, its urgent wail cutting through the silence like a blade. The control panels lit up with warnings, indicators flashing red in a chaotic dance of danger. "Captain Ethan, incoming hostiles!" the AI danger-detecting system of the s
Ethan's point of view...The countdown was already tickling, and I tried all my strength to break the emergency exit open.The spacecraft was fully damaged and I even activated the self-destruction mode in it. I was ready to face whatever awaited me, both on the planet's surface and in the battle against the shadowy forces. But as that mysterious voice echoed, I felt his words penetrating deep within my mind.Swirling every corner of my world. His urge to save me had an unspoken intention behind it.I felt it that way though.As he told me that the emergency exit pod was repaired, I tried lifting off the front metallic frame and then try breaking the escape exit of the vessel, the gravity of the situation settled in. I was now entirely on my own, hurtling through the vessel which was about to explode in seconds. With my heart pounding in my chest, I threw myself into the emergency escape pod just as the countdown reached its final moments. The pod sealed shut around me, the sensatio
Ethan's point of view...I was standing at the entrance of the chamber room when an announcement was made, that jerked me but I still felt slight excitement. I am finally going to get my answers.{Ethan Conner, assemble in the main hall immediately}The tension in the air was tangible as I walked down the gleaming corridors of the starship toward the main hall. The echoes of the recent battle still reverberated in my mind, and the remnants of the explosion were etched vividly in my memory. It was so near, I almost lost my life but still, I won't have regretted it.As I approached the central gathering area, I felt a mix of anticipation and curiosity. The main hall was a grand chamber, but today it looked different as its walls were adorned with holographic displays depicting distant galaxies and star systems.I saw one of the displays, displaying the Efrodo. The ambient lighting created an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence. As I entered, I noticed the members of my team had alr
Ethan's point of view...The announcement of our impending physical training hit us like a meteor, and I could practically hear the collective groan from my fellow teammates. As we gathered in the training area, a series of robotic figures stood at attention, their metal frames gleaming in the harsh overhead lights.Captain Ven strode to the front, his demeanor undeniable. "Meet your training partners for the week," he said clearly which almost jerked our souls out. We have been training all these days among ourselves under the eyes of the small service crew who hardly notice any ditch we did in the training before.But now, these figures in front of us are more like sumo wrestlers, completely scanning even the slightest movement we made.I appreciated these Robots when they were not completely made, never did I think that one day I will be monitored by them."These robots are designed to simulate real combat scenarios, so don't hold back!" Captain Ven continued.The robots stared b
