Chapter 1

Left Aside

Within the deep shines if light of space a massive ship named "Terra Nova ", arrived towards a planet named "Mortise X"."All hands boarding towards

Mortise X no boarding" said the announcer as troopers, miners, and doctors slowly moved through the docking bay. "No all I'm saying is that this entire

move was unnecessary" said Mary towards her husband. "Honey this wasn't all that bad we do this short 30-day period of work and we'll be able to

get the new house "said Bobby. Ships began to take off quickly heading down towards the planet; a group of troopers began to line up all armored

with white and black visors glowed of a light of blue, "you guys wait!"Yelled a late trooper as he tripped onto the cold steel floor his helmet slipped out

of his hand sliding towards his commanding officer. "Ray Gusto What the fuck!" she yelled noticing her fallen trooper as he staggered rushing back up

to his feet."Im-Im sorry Captain" said Ray while he sweated worried while his fellow troopers went into the ship waiting to leave. "Ray what have I told

you to be aware of when being ready for anything "she said, "I'm sorry I truly am "he said.

"Ray you are staying behind on the Terra Nova until we get back ","but mam I'm ready for-" , " no Ray you and the other half will stay to guard and

keep order here I don't think most of you can handle the pressure on Mortis Said his Captain while giving him his trooper helmet back. "You're staying

that's it my final word not only was your father my mentor but a great soldier never the less I'm doing you a favor "she said while walking passed him

holding her helmet and getting into the transport ship. Ray walked back towards the elevator as he held his helmet tightly, "closing docking bay doors

now "said the announcer while everybody rushed into elevators and others into the ships. Ray pressed the main lobby button as he sighed he looked

down at his helmet visor noticing the fresh white paint and its clean gleaning light of blue. "Ray what happened?" said a voice through an instant

message over his rig, Ray placed his helmet on as he said aloud" well I was left behind and some of us new recruits might not have what it takes

Cathy".

"Ah never mind that Ray it's not all bad you still have me and Bob though come on were both waiting in the mess hall for you" she said. Ray sighed

while the elevator moved swiftly through floors he noticed blood on the steel rusted floor "what the heck?" he said while noticing the doors open he

walked out thinking it might have been nothing at all. He noticed that less people were walking around within the halls while over the intercom he

heard "all remaining crew members report back to your dorms". He walked forward while speaking aloud "Hey Cathy I'll see you guys later then ima go

to bed then ","—R" he heard only static and continued as he went up the rusted stairs walking passed other workers who said hello to him. Green

flashing lights went off as another worker turned off his machine. Ray's mechanical door slide open as its lights shined he saw his bed and computer

along with his digital pictures of him, his green haired girlfriend named Lilith. He removed his helmet while he lied down on his bed resting while he

closed his eyes.
