Chapter Two

Commander Williams and his men are feeling nervous as they approach the Orion Traveller. The medium-sized ship they are in rattles and shakes as they slowly approach the blackened and darkened craft. The Orion Traveller is quite an impressive beast. A hulking piece of machinery floating high above the mysterious planet where the survivors lay in wait for their rescue. But before Commander Williams and his men can get to the survivors, they have to find out why the Orion Traveller isn’t responding to their communications.

It appears that their communications are down as well. Commander Williams has put it down to the fact that they went through the Jump Gate and whilst doing so, unfortunately, the comms on the medium-sized ship were zapped and frazzled. The only way that they were going to get their communications backup is if they boarded the Orion Traveller. Hopefully, there’s somebody on board that can help them fix their problem.

As the Commander approached the darkened ship, a gut feeling was making itself known within the pit of his stomach. And that gut feeling was the feeling of complete and utter fear. A fear so deep that it seemed like it was escaping every pore in the Commander’s body. His skin felt tight. Like it was suffocating him. Constricting tightly. Williams wasn’t the only frightened one. The men on board were also frightened. Scared of the unknown. And the unknown was becoming even closer by the second. The Orion Traveller was no longer a blip on their radar, or a ship in the distance. Now it was real. Real close. Close enough to touch. And that’s exactly what they were about to do. Boarding the Orion Traveller would be difficult. They didn’t know how the people on the ship would react to them. Space had its protocols. Just because they were from Earth didn’t mean that they would all get along. There were many sectors and many different companies out there. The all fell under the same umbrella of The Company Corporation, but the subdivisions would always remain divided, such was the nature of humanity, segregating each other since the dawn of man.

“That thing’s massive,” the recruit said, pressing his face against the porthole. He stood there gasping at the grandness of the Orion Traveller. He’d never seen such a magnificent looking ship before. It was the biggest he’d ever seen.

“Yeah, it’s pretty big. But let’s not get carried away here, it’s just a ship. A ship that we need to board as soon as possible. If we don’t get our comms unit in order; then we might not be able to get this mission started. Plus, no comms means the people at the Jump Gate can’t communicate with us. And if they can’t reach us, then that means we won’t be getting through the Jump Gate and we’ll be stuck in the Andromeda Galaxy for the rest of our bloody lives," Commander Williams said as he steadied the ship. His radar started to ping.
