One could only imagine how wonderful it is to live in a peaceful society without prejudices, without color skin or race.. sounds like the perfect place to be now isn't. I can still remember toldeo, the ice caps and the auroras on the north pole, its hard to imagine that any intelligent human/alien being is capable of destroying one of the unverise's greatest achievement.
Makes me angry just thinking about it but peharps it is my anger that is keeping me blind for so long, I still see those faces, the ones that have left behind underground, what are they trying to tell me? what am I supposed to do next? I have no home no friends no nothing except to my beatiful wife Shimirt whos scared just as I am from the future.
I remember when this all went down that several captains reassured us that the enemies chances are falling faster than an apple, and that this will be over soon and we can keep living our lifes safely.. I could almost hear the jaw music in the background.. I felt that I need to be involved but I lacked the skill to do so, and I cannot leave my wife in these horrible times alone.
Several minutes before toledo's core was crushed in on itself,
our border world shuttle had managed to survive the earthquakes but we were in a big doubt if the ship is still operational, the magnetic shifts have probably erased the computers navigation systems, so I had to think quickly!
I tried rewriting the computer software but after my first attempt i fried the motherboard, "Now what genius" I said to myself, while thinking about my wif'es saftey.. I gathered the courage to pilot the ship manualy, doing so is near impossible especialy in these conditions but all that i was thinking of is to get above the ground, atleast this way we may have a chance to flee tolde's dying core and escape.
1 minute after I "burnt" the motherboard, autopilot systems went down but manual control was activiated and I was determined to save my wife.
As we were gaining altitude I saw thousands of purple glades hitting the planet's surface, I was unsure if it was our millitary or the enemies.. I had no clue that it invovled aliens! I kinda thougth that the Liberty navy will be the ones to attack us.. and this preconcived notion turned out to be false.
I no longer felt contempt or fear, all of those people.. underground.. dying for help.. " I should have waitied and help others too!" an inside voice of mine poped up and yelled at me.. " Familiy first!" I responded.
Sometimes I think that she takes care of me, I don't know if I could have pulled this off withour her presence, and her love towards me. "We've made it Shimirt" I screamed! "Were in space"! .. "David.. what... is.. that??" as I turned my back and witnessed hundereds of purple-looking ships.. attacking other small shuttles.. "Thats it I had enough!" and against my wifes will I channeled all of the power to the defense turrets eager to teach those aliens what happends when you attack innocent people.
It is unclear if my actions did infact saved lives, but It is clear to me that from that day on.. I was meant to be up there.. in the heavens.. watching, guarding and preserving this peaceful dream that I had once experienced.
But toledo is gone.. all of the remaining shuttles flew into the wild, some went north, some went south and some even took the liberty to ask help from the outcasts.
I expected this trip to be atleast 2 years since our engines were severley damaged during the escape.. I had enough food and water for my wife but even that was on a short leach " Great.. so now we will die slowly and painfuly"..
And we don't even know where we are going!
2 Months have passed and we have yet to find any signs of civilization, suddenly I picked up a local transmission but the noises were to hard for me to understand what the message says, I tried editing the message but all that I understood was " Aka.. bat.. " I had no idea what that meant but I was glad that we weren't alone.
I decided to place myself and my wife into the freezing machine, this way we can shorten our journey and save some food for later usage, I looked on my wife and I said " Shimrit, I love you.. See you in 4 months, Good night"
Several hours have passed and we suddenly woke up, the machine was not functioning very well and I didnt know the exact problem.. 20 minutes into the conversation with my wife, we hear a sudden "bang" and two flares followed by a smoke screen had just passed infront of our window.... "is this a ship? maybe they can help us!" - I started changing frequnces and establish a communication with this unknown visitor, its design seemed to be human but ive never seen anything like it..
"Incoming transmission" poped on our feed and a weird Robot face
started talking to us.. " He.. llo humans, this is AI 503" he said.. and invited us to visit his ship.
without thinking otherwise I turned to my wife and said " this is our only chance, i will go there and see if this robot can help us ".
I entered the ship, it was strange because from the outside it looked very small but very big in the inside, after a closer look i found out that it has functioning communication satelite and a scanner pointing our location in the universe.
I was shocked i didn't realize how far we were in the known universe and i tried getting some information about this sector and if colonies are present nearby.
I couldn't access the database of the ship because it had wires connected to is, I slowly turned myself to the robot and asked him politley if he can help us out and give us information that can help us. "Th..is is th..e edge of the sirus sect..or.. no huuu..mans p..resent" I tried the best i could not to cry and still kept the faith.. for my wife's sake.
The robot took some snapshots of our shuttle and a deep anyalsis of our ship and it had stated that the ship will not be able to sustain us for very long.
I have asked him to maybe give us a ride to the nearest star-port and he replied "I serve... huma..ns I .. help .. humans" "Thank you!" I replied and quickly called my wife.. "were saved shimrit!" I have never seen my wife so happy and relaxed.. well our wedding would be an exception and being cynical and a bit sarcastic felt good to me.. atleast we remained human after all.
For two days that I tried reading the database to find out where the robot is taking us.. perhaps he is not so kind afterall I thougth to myself..
he later pointed out that he originiated from a remote place in a secret area not accessible by anyone apart from those who know how to get there.
He stated that he does not have any records from his creator but he had told us that humans onced been there a long time ago and he will take us there but he will not be able to take us to any other place.
4 Days that have passed and still no clue on our whereabouts and where we are heading, I looked outside the windows and all I could see is astroids.. black astroids with weird electrical charges that just kept exploding..
Suddenly I had a "deja-vu" and I remember this scene from my childhood, I remember such astroids.. my dad used to take me into his millitary academy in liberty.. but from where exactly I couldn't remember.
I started looking more deeply into this ship, trying to find any usful information or tools that can help both of us when I stumbled across a flight simulator.. "Well it wouldn't hurt to test my fighting skills" I've said to myself and started the simulator, much like the ancient tale of the "matrix" on ancient earth for hours on end that I kept the same routin and kept training.. I was eager to learn if I ever survive this trip..
Suddenly, the ships mainframe computer had notified us that we have arrived! I immediatly turned to the docking cells and explore this weird place..
The place was deserted and all that I could see is robots.. hunderds.. thousands.. "what the hell are they doing here".. I came across some old database files from the bases log.. it turns out that this place indeed had humans on aboard but the name of such group cannot be named because they considered to be a legend.
The AI drone had told us that this is his final patrol and he finished his mission.. "goo..d bye.. humans"
Now we are alone again, in a mysterious base not accessible and not known to anyone but us..
I have tried using the bases long communication satelites to establish an uplink to Order command if such thing even survived but I was unable to because of the strong interfirences of those electrical astroids.
Food or any other basic commedy was absent in the base so I only hoped to find a vessel that can get us out of here.
Inside a very large hanger there was a ship.. painted in black, looked like a dragon.. or on a second look.. a predator.. the ship was full of robots that are "sleeping" - the engines seemed to be working and the life support systems were at maximum, " I am taking you to my friends place shimrit.. to bethlehem".. while I must confess i have found my purpose in this life, to protect mankind and to revenge the death of 1 million innocent people. I shall take you home my love and try to find this "aka..bat" place that Ive heard.
