Episode 1 : Introduction

Year 2759, 5th June, at 13:47:42 GMT, we took flight to the empty void above us. Our mission is to find if it's possible for us to live in a planet that the other scientists searched. The planet is 8.52 billion light years apart in a distant galaxy named GT2437F9 aka Debulus. This planet revolves around a mid level star resembling the Sun called Appolus. And the name of the planet is GT0O9551FJ3 aka Zweilus.

The planet is pretty much similar to Earth, the scientists say so. They even said that we might be able to meet some enormous creatures like Elephants. We, on the other hand have to accept the order given by Our higher authorities to check if it's safe for us to live there.

That's right! We are astronauts; we go and check various planets in order to get more information about these. We can do 8-10 missions like this in a year. Our job is to go, check, search abnormalities and come back.

How do we go such a vast distance in a short period of time?

Oh, that's easy. I don't know much about how it works but we can bend the space and join them together. The scientists call it Worm hole or whatever, meh, if I know that much I would be a scientist today not an astronaut. Besides, I like travelling around the universe, searching new places and unlocking new Mysteries. That's who I am. I am Shawn, Shawn Flannigan, an astronaut in profession. Of course I'm Not a newbie. It's been a year since I joined the crew. But I don't don't know why they call me Newbie, even Now!!!

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and......

Our spaceship was launched from the Earth. Finally we crossed the atmosphere and entered the vast dark void that we call Space. For now our destination is not Planet Zweilus but it's Mars. Why? Because there is a Space Station revolving around it. And that is the place where the scientists created the Worm hole.

Let me tell you one more thing. We Earthlings conquered Mars a long time ago and with the help of science and technology, life on Mars become possible and much easier.

(Pic - Mars in the year 2759)

The Sunlight isn't that effective but we managed to keep us warm on that atmosphere. It's now a green planet just like Earth. The space station revolving around it was made exclusively with the help of materials in Mars and the one who made this lived on Mars as their home planet.

Amidst the space station there's a huge circular structure made up of large mechanical parts. Our Spaceship is moving towards that. There's something shining, generating in that circular area, which is actually a Worm hole. This is awesome. We even have a technology like that, which can create a Worm hole.

But it's not the absolute truth. I only heard this so I might be wrong, but they say that there's millions and millions of Worm holes in our universe. They are natural but the thing is they are small, very very small, smaller then a microbe, no, an atom. Only subatomic particles are capable of travelling through them.

But our scientists made a miracle. They found a way to enlarge and expand the effectiveness of these small Worm holes. Surely, it costs some energy, but as a result we are able to warp from one point to to another which is millions of light years ahead. Technology is Amazing!!!

Now, as we are moving towards the Worm hole, let me introduce you to our crew members.

First and foremost, the Commander Leon; One word - Strict!

Next Viola - You can call her leader as she is the founder of this crew and she is so kind hearted and nice; I secretly have a crush on her by the way.

Next, Jack - the manager, Mr. Popular, a magnet.

Then, Mike - the pilot, the polar opposite of Jack.

Howard - Tech expert - Steadfast.

Daisy - Zoologist - Quiet type

Stephanie - Botanist - Arrogant.

Also, She is the caretaker, only in name though, she is not as kind as Lady Viola.

And the last one, Me, Shawn, Not an expert in anything, just a part of the crew. I am the one who lands on any planet before anyone else to check if it's safe, as per requested by Lady Viola herself. I feel like I am only here as a Guinea pig, but if it's Lady Viola, I don't mind being one.......

By the way, don't call me masochist, I am Not.

Now on to the next thing. The eight of us in space suit in a spaceship heading towards that Worm hole which is currently being projected outside from that space station amidst that circular area and we entered there swiftly.

This is the moment, the moment I like very much in a journey. It's thrilling. As we enter the Worm hole, the surroundings became so thin. They call it hyperspace tunnel. Here speed of surrounding become so much that you can only feel it with your eyes closed. When you open your eyes you'll the stars making parallel lines because of the speed. Actually we are the ones that are moving fast not the stars, but it feels like the opposite, just like when in a car you see the trees and everything coming towards you. The same experience but on bigger scale.

Soon we exited the Worm hole and now 8.52 billion light years apart from our home. The Worm hole got closed after that. It'll reappear in a week according to Earth's time which is 10 days in this planet. That's the time we have to do our work.

The sight of the planet Zweilus is beautiful. It stands in the second place that revolves around the star Appolus. The size is almost 2/3rd of Earth, has only one natural satellite called Lunalus. 62% water and 38% land. The atmosphere has both Nitrogen and Oxygen in highest amount just like Earth. This means we can breathe without our space suits. The revolving speed of this planet is slightly greater than Earth, therefore, 18 hours a day and 272 days a year. The scientists calculated it, I'm not the one to talk.

Our spaceship entered the atmosphere of this planet Zweilus. We cannot afford any malfunctioning here so Jack, Mike and Howard are doing their job in landing the ship.

Soon we landed on a plane barren land. There's not any greenery here, only rocks, stones and pebbles; sands not that much. Our landing was successful. Finally, we can start our new journey on this planet. A brand new, happy journey.

And so we thought, without realising the reality of our situation. The planet Zweilus.... Is Dangerous.
