-Begin Playback- -Blip- ¡°Daily recording of Private Joseph Nash ... Stardate two seven twelvffhh ... .. Stardate ...¡± ¡°I try to sound star trek-ish .. but it turns out kinda lame ... so¡± ¡°Daily recording entry number one eight two o ... date twenty-seven ... twelve ... twenty-one eighteen¡± ¡°... damn 1820 ..., that¡¯s over a thousand and eight hundred days ... four years huh ...¡± -Blip- ¡°Almost four years, since USS Dominion travelled at FTL factor 1.7 from Earth to Gliese 581c ... ¡° ¡°That¡¯s approximately 5 times faster than Speed of Light .. that¡¯s the top speed of this ship FYI, if we go faster than this we could rip the hull apart .. ¡± -Blip- ¡°Gliese 581c .. is a planet circling a dwarf star in its habitable zone .. circa a century ago, scientist detected there¡¯s a probablity that this planet holds a habitable condition .. with a just temperature for liquid water thus capable of supporting life ..¡± ¡°... But not until ten years ago, when the technology of light speed propulsion was perfected .. and ..¡± ¡°.. and .. USS Dominion -this huge-ass mothership- is the first vessel that was ordered to do that space travel ... our main mission, of course .. to scout whether or not there is life in the planet ... and if possible ... to colonize it¡± ¡°Nope! Correct that! ... not if possible ... but a MUST ...¡± -Blip- ¡°We¡¯ve got no other options, we must form a colony here .. because ...¡± ¡°Bee~cause ... Sh*t .. USS Dominion was designed for one way travel only .. zztt-it¡¯s suicide mission brah!-zzt ... zzt-F*** off dude!-zzt ... yeppe .. a number of individual ... zzt-including me-zzt .. were voluntarily applied to take part in this mission ... even knowing that this is one way ticket travel¡± -Blip- ¡°Nash!! Quit goofing around!! Get yer ass down here!!¡±Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. ¡°Sir! Yessir!! ... okay, USS Dominion apparently shutting down the Anma* Hyperdrive now, we¡¯re out of FTL .. now, Gliese 581c is only 30 milion klicks from us .. still invisible tho, it takes two or three days for this 200.000 tonnes ship to complety stop, due to de-acceleration from light speed .. if we abruptly stopping, the inertial force will crush us flat ... so ..¡± (*ANti-MAtter) ¡°NASH !!!¡± ¡°SIR!! YESSIR!! ... okay, Nash .. out!¡± -Blip- -Starting ...Interface online: Begin recording ... ¡°OK .. Hi! Private Joseph Nash here .. again ..¡± ¡°Gliese581c is in front of us now, if ... ¨CSccuseme- .. ¨CSccuuuseemeh- ... damn, it¡¯s soo KRODID here!¡± ¡°If you can see .. look! Look! .. that¡¯s Gliese581c .. the third star of Gliese 581 System .. beautiful ain¡¯t it?" "It¡¯s larger than Earth, twice or thrice as big ... with five and a half time Earth¡¯s mass, Gravity will be quite a bitch down there ... and since the host star is a red dwarf .. the HZ is rather close to it, which means planets who reside in the HZ are tidally locked, with one side basking in the sun and the other succumbs in eternal darkness .. -bzzt- just like my Ex''s Heart-bzzt-" -Blip- ¡°... How about water? Life? Is there a possibility there¡¯s life-froms thriving there, Nash?¡± ¡°Well.. Ya! .. there¡¯s no telling how much water it has exactly, but from what it¡¯s seen, it¡¯s quite a lot isn¡¯t it? H20 is the basic catalyst for life to form, assuming that life is common occurence in universe ...¡± ¡°Is it tho?¡± ¡°Of course! I¡¯m not a scientist here, but I strongly believe that Earth is not the only planet that holds life .. if it is, the universe is quite a big waste .. well, we can¡¯t be surely certain at this point before we really go down there .. too bad you didn¡¯t draw the short straw eh Brynn??¡± ¡°Well you¡¯ll go, right? .. I¡¯ll wait for your report then¡± ¡°Yessirie!¡± -Blip- ¡°..

Nash here, yea .. there was an accident ... somehow, suddenly the shuttle just lost its thruster power ... we¡¯re all survive, with some minor injuries ... Barley got his arm broken, but nothing too serious I think ... Ahmed is tending him now¡° ¡°Quit wiggling, you¡¯re a big dude, Barley!¡± ¡°Just wrap it quick, Motherf*cka¡± ¡°I¡¯m checking outside¡± ¡°Wait Sir! I¡¯m going too! .... we¡¯re getting out the shuttle now¡± ¡°Scotty .. what the hell is going on?¡± ¡°I saw a light Joe ... green light¡± ¡°What?! Before we lost power?¡± ¡°Yea ...¡± ¡°Laser?? Do you think-¡° ¡°Hey guys! What are you talking about?¡± ¡°Leroux ..¡± ¡°Scott said he saw a flash of green light right before the shuttle fell down .. it¡¯s like we¡¯ve been shot at ...¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say that .. I didn¡¯t say we were shot¡± ¡°The hell you guys talking about? Are y¡¯all saying there¡¯s a civ here? We¡¯ve been scouting this planet for what? almost a century now, there was no sign whatsoever about alien advanced tech¡± ¡°Hey I don¡¯t know .. I¡¯m just speculating!¡± ¡°Enough .. calm down ... let¡¯s not talk about this further, kay .. it could be anything .. it could be a substance in the athmosphere burned, giving a green light ... for now, let¡¯s find a way to contact Dominion ... let¡¯s help Addler¡± ¡°Guys wait!! ... dude! Not many chemical substances give off green flame when burned like Copper and Boron and both of them are not gaseus ...¡± ¡°Maybe some Copper from the shuttle .. you think too much, Nash¡± ¡°This shuttle¡¯s outter armor¡¯s made of Carbon-Phenolic composite Ceramic .. if it was made of copper it would melt right away during re-entry .. dude, Hear me out!¡± ¡°Addler, hows going?¡± ¡°Hey, Scott .. not good ... the antenna is FUBAR, we could use our handheld commsats to make an array of transceiver since Dominion is right above us right, but the athmos is too thick, we need to find someplace broader and higher ...I need assistances¡± ¡°Okay, Nash you assist addler ...¡± ¡°Yes Sir ..¡± -Blip- ¡°... Come in ... Rodriquez here... Brzztt ... ho...zzzzt ... uys.. zzzt¡± ¡°Yeah .. we¡¯re through!¡± ¡°This is away team, Sergeant Scott reporting, repeat this is away team Sergeant Scott reporting ..¡± ¡° come in Sergeant Scott ... ¡± ¡°Our shuttle was losing power and hard landed 300 Kilos southeast due to the dropzone ... we request immediate rescue, I repeat .. we req-¡° ¡°Negative Sarg-bzztttt- ... it¡¯s hectic here ... they¡¯ve bo-bzttt-d the ship .. bzzzttttt Ield ...... mere 20%....¡± ¡°What the hell he¡¯s talking about?¡± ¡°We need confirmation! Dominion! Who are they?! .... ¡° ¡°We¡¯re ... su-bztttt- .........bbrrttkkk ..... ¡± ¡°Dominion!! Dominion!! Come in!!¡± ¡°No use, Scott .. we¡¯re cut¡± ¡°What in the seventh hell had happened?¡± ¡°My GOD!!! Scott!! Nash!! Look!! Look up!!¡± ¡°Ahmed? Whatss- HOLLYY¡° ¡°Oh my God!! That¡¯s Dominion!!¡± ¡°Whooaah¡± ¡°It¡¯s burning ... and falling down¡± -Blip- Third Recording -Blip- ¡°Joe Nash here .. I .. uh .. I don¡¯t know what to say .. we-¡° ¡°We¡¯re f***ing trapped here! This planet really does have an advanced civ, Scott! Our shuttle really did get shot!! We¡¯re gonna f***king die here!¡± ¡°Calm down Otto!! At a time like this, we all need a level head .. first let¡¯s assess the situation. One, there¡¯s an advance alien capable of laser technology in this planet, two our mothership has fallen, three our shuttle is badly damaged, and four we can stay here for long ...¡± ¡°Oui, ces batards could be here any moment now¡± ¡°Will they come and looking for us? I mean do they really know about us?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not bet on it, Ve ... one thing got me confused though .. we¡¯ve been scanning this planet for what? A hundred years now?? How come we never detected them? .. Ve you¡¯re the EMR Specialist here, any thought?¡± (*Electro Magnetic Radiation) ¡°I .. uh I don¡¯t know Scott .. maybe Nash know¡± ¡°... me ...?¡± ¡°Well you¡¯re from MIT... you¡¯re basically the brain here¡± ¡°Well damn, okay ... here .. this is just my guess, but this planet is tidally locked to the star right? so one face always facing the star, we call it the bright side ... this is where the aliens reside .. since they need energy from the host star, it¡¯s only logical for them to stay on the bright side .. the problem is, that side always hidden from the Earth, because when the planet is parallel with the Star and Earth, we always come looking on it¡¯s dark side ...¡± ¡°Yo saying we¡¯ve been checking this bitch¡¯s ass all this time¡± ¡°To put it simple .. it is, Mike .. but, there¡¯s also another option, like .. maybe these aliens don¡¯t have radio tech in the first place, that¡¯s why the scan always come up blank ..¡± ¡°Bullshit, Nash ... they have laser! Don¡¯t tell me they have no radio¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t they have Laser but not Radio, Ve?¡± ¡°Well, what Veronica trying to say is that Laser and Radio are basically the same thing, EMR only with different strength .. it¡¯s just .. that¡¯s probably not laser at all ... probably something create by chemical .. or ..or perhaps to the extreme, Biolaser .. ¡° ¡°What the hell are you talking about, Nash?¡± ¡°Think about this, Ve ... EMR is not a fabricated process, it¡¯s natural .. human only learn to use it and shape it at will using passed down knowledge, there¡¯s must be some aliens that can utilize it naturally without needing them to understand it ... like, like fireflies or deepsea creatures that could utilize bioluminescence, that¡¯s a chemical produced EMR at visible spectrum, but if you ask them about it, they wouldn¡¯t understand sh*t¡±If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°You can discuss this whatever, but that doesn''t change the fact thet we still stuck here ... now what, Scott?¡± ¡°For now we''ve got to survive ... looks like the storm is coming, we need to find a shelter along withall equipments necessary .. then we move towards the fall location of Dominionas soon as it recedes¡± ¡°Whoa .. won¡¯t there be enemies there?¡± ¡°So be it, my hands are itching to murder some aliens ...¡± ¡°Hell Yeah Baby!!¡± ¡°You crazy bastards!¡± -Blip- ¡°KEEP FORMATION!! DO NOT LET THEM ENTER!!¡± ¡°Aye Sir!!¡± ¡°Goddamit Barley!! lift that gun with your left arm or I¡¯ll bury you here!¡± ¡°Fire in the hole!!!¡± ¡°Cave clear!! GET IN!!¡± ¡°To the left Nash!! Left!!¡± -Blip- ¡°Nash here !! ¡± ¡°I hate this planet ..... rain poured .. POURED!! .... then those critters .. slithered, thousands ... hundreds of thousands ...¡± ¡°Help me!! Addler! Help me lift him¡± ¡°Here!!¡± ¡°By Allah .. we don¡¯t have much medicines, we need to stop his bleeding¡± ¡°I uh ... Otto .. they got Otto, their bites are poisonous .. he is beyond help¡± ¡°Shut up Nash!! If you can¡¯t help, better off shut up!¡± ¡°He¡¯s in shock state, hold him up!! This is the my last sedative¡± ¡°Fu*k! His blood¡¯s gushing everywhere!!¡± -Blip- ¡°Otto¡¯s dead ... Ahmed can do nothing to help him, we¡¯ve run out meds¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± ¡°The venom wasn¡¯t even lethal, Sarge ... we could save him in a second was it back on Earth, but right now we don¡¯t have antidote, by Allah we don¡¯t even have basic Medicines .. I .. I could do nothing ... ¡° ¡°No one could do anything Doc ... stop blaming yourself ... then we all need to be extra careful, a single bite could kill us here ... ¡± ¡°This is nightmare ... this couldn¡¯t be happening¡± ¡°I SAID SHUT UP!! NASH!!¡± ¡°YOU SHUT UP!! ADDLER!!¡± ¡°ALL OF YOU SHUT THE F*CK UP!!¡± ¡°Lower your gun Jack ... listen, ... we will not give up okay! ... we¡¯ll through this!¡± -Blip- ¡°Here you are ...¡± ¡°You still playing with that sh*t, huh Nash?¡± ¡°It will be usefull, at time .. perhaps our legacy, for some unfortunate dipsh*ts that¡¯ll be coming here after us ...¡± ¡°Listen .. er .. sorry for back there ..¡± ¡°Naahh .. off with it, c¡¯mere look at that rainbow ...¡± ¡°I .. uh ..
