Gaia's Tragedy, 2

F.

Still a story post, move on if you dislike this style of writing.

---
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in space...

The trio continues on with their adventure to the Messier Galaxy... What surprises will spook them in their journey?

As Nemesis slowly exits the Sol System, the ship transitions to its hyperjump phase, jumping towards a bright star, named Jumino. Found by an cosmologist in 2050, it would be one of the key experiment zone for humankind...

The construction of a Dyson Sphere.

"And if you look towards your left, you will see a big pile of mess leftover by the E.E.C.C, or the Experimental Energy Collection Corp."

"The disaster of the Dyson Sphere. Legend says that-"

"Now Larry, don't you dare bring up your 'beast of the abyss' myth again. This is humankind first attempt to construct something as large as the Sun. It's perfectly normal to make mistakes... Don't you think so too, Miss Gaia?"

Gaia stares at the ruins of the Dyson Sphere. It reminds her of ... Something inconspicuous.

"Gaia?"

"What? Oh, sorry. Was just thinking about something. Yeah, it would be absurd that the mythical beast of the abyss would come all the way here just to destroy something. Hell, there isn't even a black hole here."

"See Larry, no one else buys your stories."

As the ship slowly manoeuvres away from the bits of ruins of the Dyson Sphere, Larry notices something behind the Dyson Sphere. Another ship, bearing the logo of Kulstar, a prominent pirate group from the area, attacking another ship bearing the mark of the Federation.

"Stanley, there is some kind of battle here." Larry gestures towards the lights emitted from laser beams from both ships.

"Pirates fighting a Federation cruiser. Pfft, they stand no chance."

"The cruiser is preparing to jump away, Captain."

"Wait, what?"

"That's the best god damn space pirate I have ever seen. Steer the ship around, we're going to assist. Signal the cruiser."

But before anyone could do what they were told, a signal hijacks the command of the ship, halting its movements. The main projector in the ship projects a message from the leader of the Kulstar, Kube.

"This does not require your intervention. Run, while you still have  the chance to do so."

Optimism / Pessimism Bias

Welcome back, friends. Exam weeks was long and harsh, but now it's over. Hooray! As for the blog posts, they're starting again and this time, oh boy, free topic for days (at least I hope so). So fasten your seat belts as we explore more random topics for no apparent reason. Today's Topic : Optimism/Pessimism Bias "Great, another bias. What's next? K-Drama bias? Anime bias? Jeez, at least talk about something positive." Well, positive things aren't always fun to write. So... cliche and boring. I rather dig into negative stuff just to find out what causes them and how we can solve them. Doesn't  that sound positive to you? Either way, let's jump into today's topic. I'm going to cover both Optimism bias and Pessimism bias in the same blog post, because they usually are found together in a statement. But before that, let's ask ourselves this common question that is used to test optimism and pessimism. Is the cup half full or h...

HURRAH A FREE TOPIC

Finally, after a long time, we finally get a free topic to discuss. Simply marvelous ! So, even though everyone would probably disagree/ not read this, but I would love to share some WW2 stories. Have you ever heard of the myth, "Carrots will improve your eyesight." ? It is a very common myth, usually spread by mothers in an effort to encourage their children to eat carrots on their plates. But, has anyone ever told you where the myth came from ? As I said at the first paragraph, this myth obviously came from WW2. During World War 2,  the British Royal Air Force developed new and improved radar technology. This helped them to fight back the Luftwaffe planes during the dead of night, as German fighters bomb various strategic and civilian targets, such as certain air force bases, ports and cities to cripple Britain and forcing them to surrender. The invention of the new radar technology was really successful. Due to the conditions of the war, black-out events, where e...

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...
