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."

ICT-ton and Carnival 2018

Well it's sad to say I missed this one purely because I was busy and no other reason. So I'm going to sum the event up through friends' experiences. To start off, there was a senamrobik activity in the morning. This is quite weird as... you know... it's a carnival.... not Sports Day to be exact. Nevertheless, that happened. I'm guessing most of the participants weren't wearing the proper attire as they didn't get the memo till the last minute. Besides, there was a dunking game that was setup by the Scouts. Though I didn't go to the carnival personally, a few clips circulated around social media such as Facebook and Instagram and that's how I know Joash from 4 Balau got dunked. Mr James that was a former teacher in the school along with Pn Lau got dunked as well. Lastly, the Teen Star Talent show. Again, I didn't go to the carnival so I do not know half of what happened during the event, but the highlight of the carnival was Mr Ganapathy, th...

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...

First Week of School

First Week of School (SMKDJ) The very first week of the first school semester. Some dread it, while others look forward to it. To me, neither of both mattered. A month of holiday might sound good to take a break after a long year of hard work and constant studying to prepare for PT3, but after a week or so, you start to get that feeling of missing being with your friends in school, doing activities together. (not group work with random people that don't know each other really well) New semester, new class, new classmates and a whole new timetable to memorize. First week is always pretty exciting, since you get to meet your friends again after a long month. What's more exciting is that the classes. While some might be boring, others can be quite fascinating. Since it's the first week, nothing much other than normal classes and longer than average speeches from Mr.Ganapathy. The changes for co-curriculum were quite interesting too, but transporters...
