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."

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...

The Philosophy of Tetris

"I am the man who arranges the blocks, that continue to fall from up above..." I believe most of you of you know what Tetris is. Most of you are likely to have played it, or at least heard about it. Be it the charming 8-bit music, the satisfying beep after a line is completed, or just the blocks that fall into place one by one, filling the gaps, I"m sure that we all can agree upon the fact that Tetris is one of the best classic game we have ever played. While I was revisiting the game, trying to break another player's high score, I realize that, even in a simple game such as Tetris, which has the main goal of trying to get the best score you can through stacking blocks and aligning them, I can't help but think of the true meaning of Tetris. So today, let's explore the philosophy behind the Tetris. Keep in mind, that this is my opinion. Feel free to judge... constructively. First concept You don't have to be perfect to fit in Before we jump into...

Gaia's Tragedy, 1

E. I'm bored and I don't think anyone is going to read blogs any longer so I decided to write some stuff. Blogs discussing stuff will be back on next week lol if anyone reads this. --- Year 2077 Venus. Once thought inhabitable by the sapiens of Earth, now terra-formed into a habitable planets with cities hovering above the volcanic plains of Venus. Earth has long established contact with several alien groups from other galaxies, and now Venus, also known as the third home of the humans, turns into a stop for weary interstellar travelers. In the bar, many stop by to enjoy alcohol made with exotic goods, and to share stories while adventuring out in the vastness of space. One corner of the bar is such, filled with tales of tragedy and triumphs, hosted by an man named Larry. Larry Perkins. My crew and I got off the starship Nemesis after a long trip to the Andromeda galaxy, liberating planets claimed by rebels and exploring unknown worlds. Many of us wanted to rest, and m...
