A Story By NN… 1st Episode.
Hello My Name Is Vernius.
I will now begin my story.
It all began more than century ago, I was in charge of all cargo shipping’s on the deep space luxury cruiser called “Savoyager No 7.”
As we began our journey towards the distant planet home world of Calypso, I never knew what was to be in store for me there, my parents had been some of the first to travel towards the new & distant home world, but for some reason all deep space contact was lost, no signals, no distress calls, NOTHING.
As any good son would have, I started to worry, what happened to my parents, and why weren’t anyone at the Omegaton headquarters able to contact the ship?
Omegaton Industries always keep the public in the dark of lies, trying to calm everyone down, but I knew that something terrible had happened to my parents, they never got as far as beyond our own solar system, question was, WHY?
After some time, I decided to join in the search for my lost parents and I decided to get into the Starfleet academy that I might be able to go on a deep space cruise. Shortly thereafter I found myself working in a cargo bay.
After a human age, of deep space travelling, we finally arrived to our final destination.
I woke up one morning, and like so many days before my arrival to the new home world of Calypso, I was working in the cargo bay sector 4, when suddenly I heard an explosion.
The red alert indicated that grave danger was about, and before I knew of it, I heard the ships computer telling everyone to leave the ship.
I quickly headed for nearest exit. I almost got taken out by several explosions around me, when finally I got to the first pod, the damn thing went crazy on me; I had to get out & fast.
Everything around me was chaos, people yelling, children crying, if only I had known what kind of monsters people turn into in emergency situations, then I would never have gotten onboard, I almost lost my consciousness, as I felt my good friend grabbing me from behind, everything went black.
As I woke up, I found myself in a strange and weird environment, never have I seen such beauty, and at the time, for the first in my life, I was frightened, frightened to the core of my being.
I was all alone, and the pod which had rescued me, had taken its toll by killing my friend in the crash.
All I had was a torn up orange suit, and my good name.
I tried to get the pod online, but it was impossible, the power core was a goner.
I was left to myself that night, surrounded by the scariest environment imaginable, and for the first time ever, I felt LOST.
As I was trying to get some shuteye, I heard a deep rumbling sound, and I realized that I was no longer alone, I thought to myself this is it, I am done for. The creature outside the pod must have been a HUGE creature, since every step made the pod shake, and me along with it.
I was terrified, what if?
I shortly thereafter heard a deep and rumbling sound, almost like a deep roar, or growling combined with a loud and noisy chewing.
After several minutes of paralyzing fear, I gathered up all my courage, and decided to take a peak outside, I slowly opened the hatch to the pod, but the damn thing was broken and felt to the ground as I opened it. Instead of me making a silent sneak away, I was left unprotected, only by a shell that was once a rescuing pod.
I found myself starring into an eye larger than my own head, the curious beast that gazed into my eyes was nothing less, but what would later turn out to have been, the legendary Behemoth.
The creature was bigger than anything I had ever seen, an elephant in compares was a small animal.
Obviously the behemoth had no hostile intentions, it was a peaceful animal, but then again what could I do, bite it in the knee?
The beasts had a majestic appearance, calm, gentle, and perhaps even a loving or caring & curious nature.
I decided to sit back and relax. Knowing that this beast was in control, was a great comfort to me, since the beast most likely were from around these parts, the animal was big, and it was friendly, and without further thought, I fell a sleep.
The next morning, I was amazed to see the beauty of the place around me, the behemoth was gone however.
It left deep and heavy tracks behind every step, when lying down; I could almost fit into its footprints.
I decided not to disturb the beast; I had no intention of testing my luck.
I was surrounded by an open field with weird looking plants all around me.
Little did I know that other colonists were about in my vicinity.
Was I hearing voices, or was I simply no longer alone?
There I was on a distant planet, but the thought of other humans being in my vicinity, never crossed my mind for a second.
I was surprised if not chocked when suddenly this human stepped up to me, asking me, where I was from.
I was lost for words, and started to hug him, I then asked him if I was dreaming?
He replied that I was not, and that if I went south, I would find an outpost, the guy then gave me a compass, and showed me the direction.
I have been on Calypso for many years now, and even though I will never see my parents again, I sometimes find myself talking to them, in my prayers, letting them know that there only son made the journey.
Yours Truly: Vernius.
