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...

Story starting with a sentence given by Pn Monica

L. ------ Ping.. My mobile phone lit up with a message from Pn. Monica.... It was a late Friday night, and after a long week people are surely tired and wanted to take a break. The message started a lot of distraught, since people wanted to take a break on a Saturday. "Please go to the library tomorrow. I have an important task for you." Sure enough, the request sparked a lot of questions in the group chat, varying from asking why do we have to go to school on a Saturday, or how important this task is, to mindless puns and jokes about said task. Following morning, we gathered in the library, chattering about what a hassle it is to get out of bed on a warm, cozy, Saturday morning. Just when the crowd began to get heated on discussing what they're going to do, Pn Monica emerges from her office, and carrying a thick book inscribed in an language that none of us has seen before. She place the thick book down on the table with a loud thump. "That's one h...

What I Learned About How My Effort Will Contribute To My Exam Marks

Well. after getting my terrible exam results, I decided to break down what went wrong in my preparations for the exams. To get down to the root of the problem, it's studying and the time spent doing it. I either do it too much, or too less. I need to organize my time even better than before, so I don't constantly burn the midnight oil, or sit around doing nothing. The worst result I got was Additional Maths. The only way I could get better in this was to do more practice. Time to start hitting more books then ! I need to put in more effort on my studies to get at least decent results for my mid-term, which is usually going to be even harder. Let's hope I actually stick to the plan this time. Cheers, Chua.
