The door led to a set of stairs that goes downward, at the end of the hallway that followed them was an elevator that also lead deeper. Unfortunately this one didn’t seem to work so we had to make use of the emergency ladder to get down.
There weren’t any other floors on the way down and after nearly fifteen minutes we arrived to the bottom level.
“Beautiful…” That was the only word I could use to describe what we found there.
It was difficult to believe it's part of the laboratory above. The final level was an underground cave made entirely out of Glassume. There is no mistaking it. The sparkling clear crystals covering every inch of this cavern were the universe's most valuable mineral.
They were everywhere no matter what direction you look. Seven’s gauntlets were indeed a surprise, but this was on a different level. This is an entire mine filled to t
Sector twenty one, planet Gorgola, Underground cave, Lilia. When I was a little girl I really liked listening to fairy tales. I would always force Iris to read the books I chose just because the title sounded interesting. The tales on Zesion were countless but from time to time we would read about stories from outside. One of such stories was about the twelve mythical beasts. The book talking about them was something a brother of mine got on one of his trips to neighboring planets. It was a translated version printed on paper as a souvenir for tourists. He knew how much I liked that kind of books so he brought one specifically for me. It told stories about the twelve beasts that roam the universe destroying whole plants sometimes. Mizu, Ard, Verta, Arnab, Sector twenty one, planet Gorgola, Underground cave, Lilia. “I’M GONNA KILL YOU!!!!!” “ROAAAAARRRR!!!!” Seven jumped at the beast delivering another blow, this time to its head, but it didn’t seem to have the same effect. Verta was on guard, now completely focused on him. Seven glanced in my direction for a moment. Understanding what he meant I stood up and ran for the exit, but our mythical friend here has other plans as it charged an electro sphere and sent it my way. Before I decide whether to dodge or not Seven jumped in the way deflecting the attack with his arm. “YOU DAMNED ç’56 8_(-_ è_è _|| ^\| èç-è (-\[- è_( ² (-è( $ùmLast man on earth when there is no earth?

Sector twenty one, planet Gorgola, Lilia’s space craft, Lilia.“Haaaaah~ what a day!”It is a blessing to have a shower at the end of such a long day, especially after experiencing how it’s like to be so close to death. One thing I don’t look forward to however is drying my hair. Using a towel always takes too much time.“Seven, you can go in now.”“Un…”Saying nothing Seven walked to the shower room with heavy steps, looking like he would fall over any moment now.Ah! Iforgot to reduce the temperature of the water.Although I’m used to it Seven always complains about how hot it is. It seems humans have a more sensitive skin than us Zesionien
Sector twenty one, planet Gorgola. On the way back neither of them spoke a single word. The lab was now gone. Even though they found nothing of use in there it still felt like a great loss. Lilia sat down sighing such bad luck. Now, what to do? She thought to herself as she let herself fall on the bed. Maybe if they search some more they might find another construction. They still have some hope, as little as it might be. They will have to move around more from now on. Possibly not returning to the camp for long periods of time. While Lilia was deep in thoughts Seven was done washing himself, coming out still looking down just like before. She could tell he is blaming himself for how things turned out. The collar on Verta’s neck, she didn’t think much of it at first but apparently it is another incredible piece of technology. Seeing how all that power returned to Verta after it broke is enough
“Lilia, I … sorry, I didn’t mean to… how do I say it…” What Lilia looked at was the tent that had formed in Seven’s pants pushing against her own butt. Her eyes were wide and her face was hot. Don’t tell me… this means. Lilia turned to Seven, but his eyes slipped away refusing to make contact. The way he blushed made her feel so ashamed that her face was about to get burned off. But even with all of that, she didn’t get down. Well, she couldn’t get down. The surprise made her head a mess. Otherwise her lips wouldn’t have moved. “… Um… Seven… I just want to be sure but… does this mean…” she couldn’t say it “… I… sorry…” Lilia didn’t understand why he apologized. Seven knew what Lilia’s intentions were when she did what she did, but he couldn’t stop himself from getting excited over the situation they were in. But this wa
Sector twenty one, planet Gorgola, Lilia. “… Sigh…” It’s already been three month. I already realized this a while ago, but help isn’t coming. The planet we have crashed into is named Gorgola. Supposedly an uncharted, dead planet unfit to support life because of its strong gravity. Now that I’m here on its surface however I can tell that assessment is wrong. Though the gravity is indeed stronger than it is on Zesion, it’s not enough to cause trouble. Air pressure isn’t that different as well. Life is clearly thriving everywhere with all the animals and plants. And since I’m neither dead or sick I guess other Zesioniens could live here as well. “What do you think, Iris?” I asked the gravestone by my side. I expected no answer, but the silence still hurts. Ever since the incident I’ve been spendi
And so my search began, and another month passed. Then another. I began to think it’s all for nothing. That there is nothing to be found. However as I was expanding the radius of the areas I covered I stumbled upon what could only be described as hope.Buried under a layer of dirt was a metallic gate. The design looked unfamiliar but nevertheless something like this doesn’t just exist on its own.This was the most exciting moment ever since I arrived here on Gorgola. The gate was left unlocked, which is a good things. Hopefully the security system won’t be too much for me, I’m not as good with technology as Iris was.The interior seems to have deteriorated quite a bit. The lack of maintenance was a dead give away that this place is abandoned. Though it seems that the lights still work and the power is still on, not t
Intense coughing forced me awake. Something is leaking from my mouth. My vision is blurry as well, I can’t see anything at all.“Li… lia…”What is going on? What happened...I feel so week. I can’t move.What... what happened to us?We were on our way to the first gate of the twenty first sector. That’s right. We still had a long way to go. Three days… was it?… yes. We were near Gorgola when… when…Something collided with our ship. It wasn’t a meteor, nothing came up on the radar. It was much faster. It managed to knock us off course. We were caught in Gorgola’s field and… and…We crashed.“Lilia…&rdqu
