FAMILIAL BONDS
"Blood is thicker than water." German Proverb
Prologue
Family is something that matters to all of humanity. It matters to every creation upon the earth and it matters to every life in the universe; whether they live in the here and now or in times long since gone or in times that have yet to occur. Family is the one constant, more predictable than science, more lasting than the fabric of reality for without family there would be disorder and chaos.
And in a world of disorder and chaos no-one could focus long enough to aspire to be anything more than alive for a few more moments before the inevitablilty of death.
In a world such as earth where society is based upon one's family status; whether they are rich or poor, of pure stock or tainted, society has a single-minded view upon which all conform and obey.
If it were a possibility that family were not a building-block of the modern day society then it may be logical to assume that the foundations of everything in the current 21st century would be faulty since they would not have the strength and long-living dexterity that family provides.
It is only logical to assume then that family, as a building-block of society, would be the most important thing to have with you if you were not upon the planet you were born and raised upon. It is also logical to assume that though family is of great importance to any and all, that is may not always be the answer to everything and can, at times, be more of a hinderance than a blessing.
To be brought up in a loving household, without needing to fight for survival or hide from the monsters that really are real, is a dream and often a reality for many though they do not realise as to how important and special a thing it is to have. To take such a thing for granted could be considered ignorant, obliviously idiotic or simply niave. Either way, it does no good when one has not had such an upbringing does it?

The silence of space is absolute. There is no atmosphere. No travelling of sound. No inkling of an idea that in mere seconds a large, impressively-beautiful – if not slightly damaged and worn – ship will drop out of hyperspace and allow the relatively small solar system to bask in its divine and unique beauty.
It is commonly believed that, due to many unrealistic Hollywood produced movies, that when an explosion or a ship drops out of hyperspace that there is a folly of sounds and special effects. It is untrue. It is idiotic to believe this fact since with no atmosphere the sound of a pin dropping would not travel and reach ones ear where it would be processed at an astonishing speed by the human mind and then be deemed to be the sound of a pin dropping. Hollywood, though being aware that they are being incredibly inaccurate, choose to continue to flaunt this incorrect fact simply due to the fact that it makes for better screentime. Afterall, a silent movie is not of great interest to the world's youth of today.
As the large, Ancient-designed ship positioned itself automatically so as to avoid ending up in a geo-stational orbit around the nearest planet of the plantery system it was dropped out of hyperdrive within.
The planets continued on in the orbits, oblivious to the arrival of such a great feat of technology, slowly revolving in a counter-clockwise manner around the large, fusioning-star at the centre of the congregation of the large masses of rock that had atmospheres of various shades and colours.
A small metetor-belt was situated between the third and fourth planets closest to the fusioning-star, each lump and speck of rock glittering and glinting in response to the rays of the fusioning-star creating a beautiful, water-like ring segregating the planetery system with a simple ease and such beauty that none would dare to mare its beauty simply to reach the inner planets.
Upon the Ancient-designed ship there was a constant bustle of activity as the small, insigificant and out-of-place lifeforms upon it shuffled from place to place, hurriedly trying to complete checks and secure supplies acquired from earlier missions much like the one that was soon about to commence.
The stars, that watched in continuous, heartless, detatched cycles observed the arrvial of such a craft that they had never seen; at least not on such a large scale. Many millenia ago, when most had been younger and brighter than they are now, they lay witness to the arrival of many small, unmanned ships that created and distributed infitesiamally small and circular shapes of a rock mineral they had not seen before in their long lives. These small, circular shapes were placed upon the planets in the planetery system that they observed, before the small, unmanned ships disappeared from the system in a strange, photonic abnormality that existed for a few mere microseconds before the blackness of space all around, with the exception of their bright twinkling was once again unmarred and unmarked. The only reminent of the presence of those ships was the small, circular shapes that they could no longer see as they were upon the surfaces of the planets that they simply observed.
Here is the prologue to the sequel to Blood Ties. I don't know whether or not I'll continue with this so give me LOTS and LOTS of good reviews and such and I should have enough incentive to order my muse to satisfy me so that I can write another chapter for you all.
