I own none of this, all credit goes to those smart people at MGM, though I wish I did, I don't. No copyright infringement intended.
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing this, bear in mind this is my first attempt at writing this, all these great ideas are in my head but its hard to get them onto pixels. Reviews would be very much appreciated. I know this is a short chapter but I intend to write longer and more action packed installments in the future. Happy reading :P
The Legands of Destiny
It had been three years since destiny had left the drone galaxy behind, and she had dropped out of FTL by a small star to recharge.
As she approached the star the young boy, known as Eli woke from his slumber and walked over to the stasis pods to watch over the crew. For three years he had done the same routine over and over. In truth he had become insane, but destiny didn't mind, company is company after all. It had all started with the drones, those fast little wasps which stung her shields and damaged her systems.
The crew, not being able to find a solution, decided to leave the galaxy behind. They wouldn't have made it though, if it hadn't been for Eli fixing the reserve power generator. The same generator allowed him to operate life support for the duration of the FTL jump, and he had used that time to affect some repairs on her hull and her systems, so no longer did she have to waste shield power to retain the atmosphere.
This allowed more power for the FTL drive, so yes, she was fast, but with the additional power she could compensate for the age of the drives to restore the original speed. While many of the crew thought that FTL was the predecessor to hyper drive, it was in reality its superior, far swifter.
In her prime she could have crossed the gap between galaxies in days, not months. She had used the extra speed to get further into the next galaxy, avoiding the power signatures of ships along the way. Destiny's AI was smart enough to know that most ships out this far wouldn't be friendly, and the best option was to avoid them, that if she got caught by one, to divert all the power to the shields and jump as soon as possible. It was time to wake the crew up, she had recharged after flying through a gas giant to replenish her supplies of water, oxygen and raw materials to repair the hull and provide proteins for the crew.
Of course the crew had not discovered the large tanks on the lowest part of the ship, but they would in time. She was approaching the star now, a small yellow star. As she powered down the stasis pods and revived the crew, she prepared to enter the star and deploy the solar collectors.
