Gaia's Tragedy, 4

I. let the cringe ensue

---

Somewhere within the Messier Galaxy, the Pierce System where a full scale civil war is blowing up between the Messier Congress and the Rebels of Solar.

As the ships slowly goes into orbit of Messier-1, the capital starbase for the Congress, multiple rebel ships appeared from all sides, and hailed ours.

"Civilian! Leave now, or suffer with those scumbags!"

"We're... We're... just here to deliver food supplies to the refugees below. Surely you only want the Congress to die?"

"Fair enough. Going off comms."

"Gaia, get the package in there, as fast as you can!"

No reply.

"Miss Gaia?"

"Comms General, run a full rundown on the ship's crew."

"All clear sir, Miss Gaia is not on the ship."

The lights in the ship suddenly turned into red alert, and blaring alarms were sounded.

"Warning....Warning... Escape Pod 2029 released. All crew steer clear of Bay 19 until the sector is airlocked."

Miss Gaia took the escape pod, and appears to heading towards the larger star of the binary star system in the Pierce System.

"What is she doing?"

Kube and Larry seems to know something is up, and immediately descend into panic mode.

"Move the ship! Move the ship! Warp out of the stars' range!"

Kube relays the message to the rebel ships, which unfortunately, was declined by the rebels assuming that they're working for the Congress and warned them to back off from the planet.

"What is it Larry? What's the fuss?"

"WARP. THE. SHIP. OUT. OF. THE. STAR'S. RANGE."

Pulling out from the orbit of the planet, Kube's ship and mine warped out of the star's range, merely observing what could be happening from a safe distant.

A transmission. It's from... Gaia?

"Thanks for the trip... Captain Stanley. The package, is delivered. I'll be sure to remind It to spare you."

The gravity of the larger sun, tears the space pod apart, ripping open as if it was made of paper, and the flames engulfs what remains of it. There are no life signs, and Gaia is forever lost. Just then, a blinding light appears from the last spot of the space pod, blinding everyone and everything within a solar system radius. Fortunately, the crew and I weren't in range of the blast, and we observed the birth of a new star...?

Upon closer inspection with onboard equipment, a star wasn't birthed, but a monster. A void demon. The fabled beast of the abyss. The ravenous from the remnants of the pods, and began consuming energy from both stars. The rebel ships tried to intervene, but were unsuccessful, as they couldn't damage the beast, not even a scratch.

"Are you seeing this Kube?"

"I waited for this day for 20 years. And I shall have my revenge! Hail all nearby ships! We''ll end this monster once and for all."

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...
