Chapter 1 One giant step

The year is 2025 the earth is in danger yet is at its greatest moment in mankind existence we had found life in the universe or more exactly they found us. They came to us they sent messages and we listened they told us we are alone the showed us how to fix our home they gave us technology and we used it till the rebels destroyed our communicator before the last message had been read. But all was not lost a scientist named rollend manged to use his vr head set to picea the last message together we were in danger a comet was on its way back from its 750 year jonery around or galaxy it would miss us but would destroyed our moon we had a year at most to figure it out. But there was a hope we may be able to upload our lives into the vr real to keep us from going extinct yet only the rich would be allowed once again it was money that determined everything but on the east coast of California something bizarre was about to happen.

"Okay bring her out nice and easy we only got one shot to launch her so lets do this by the books" spoke a man in a black jacket his name was Jon. "No shit Sherlock I though I was going drive it full speed and maybe do a couple damn donuts with it who knows maybe try a fucking wheelie with it." A man yelled back his name was Dave. "Dave shut the fuck... o hi sir I did not see you there." Jon quickly caught him self from ticking of the head of the group pissing rick off was a bad idea. "How close tell we can launch the ng are on the way to stop us we have to launch as soon as possible. We have less than two hours before they get here." he quickly spoke. "Well we can launch as soon as Rin shows up we good to go shes already to go. And the mass launcher is ready to fire." Jon replied. "Good do we know where rin is?" Rick asked . "Yea hes in the prep room getting geared up in the ARS suit." Dave replied. "the what?" asked a quite confused Rick. "Augmenter reaction suit." snapped Dave. "OK good let me know when hes ready to go ill be in the command center. Rick said as he walked away.

In a room not to far from the mass launcher a man stood in the center of a white room and waited. A computer voice echoed through the room, "Welcome rin please stand still." Robotic arms quickly moved into place instal the back of the Ars suit the sound of small bolts and drills filled the room as the machine sealed rin into his suit it took only a few minutes till his helmet was on and a blue HUD lit up. "Welcome rin I am glados welcome to the Augment realty suit Please wait as I calibrate to you biology." I stood still as the system shifted a few times till it was snug but not too uncomfortable it asks me to do a few quiet test with motion before the compute spoke again. "system is green please report to the Mass launcher and prepare for take off." "Roger" I spoke I quickly started making my way to the star ship that was going to carry me to the stars and beyond. It was the first ship that had not only a anti mater reactor but a warp drive it sat gleaming in the early morning light and as I made my way close to it you could see how stream line it was it was smooth almost like an elongated triangle with a large ring on the back of it that was the warp drive. I quickly climbed into the ship and let myself get straped down into the gel foam seat. "all good here" a tech said. "Well good luck rin ya gonna make history ." another tech spoke all I did was give a thumps up as I head the Titanium door shoot with a soft thud and a hiss of air. "OK rin start her up and run the system check we only have an hour to launch before the get her." Ricks voice came through the speaker. "roger sir will do" I quickly started hitting the buttons starting the on board computed stared running checks I quietly listed to the computer as it ran. "Boosters online...System pass... anti mater reactor online...anti mater reactor system pass...warp drive system check …...warp drive system pass...life support systems online …...life support system pass."This went on for a good thirty minutes "So how do you feel rin."asked Rick. "Nervous as hell sir I wont lie." I quietly replied. "Well I got good news and bad news what do you want first." "Um the bad news first I guess." I quietly respond how bad could it be. "Well the bad news is we have to launch as soon as possible the army just showed up we have ten minutes to launch before the cut through the blast doors that's the bad news the good news we are all green to go as soon as you are." rick said quickly. There was a quiet ding from the computer as it said. "all systems are green we are ready to launch." "Sir we are all green as well start the launch sequence at you discretion." I keyed over the radio. "Roger that rin we are starting launch sequence now good luck." Rick yelled. "start the launch now." "yes sir starting count down now." yelled a techs computer stared the countdown begin launch sequence" A green computer read stated it began to countdown .10...9...8...7...6...5... "Passing control to archangel. " I have control starting booster" I hit the red button and felt the ship start to shake as 250000 pounds of thrust started to roar out of the six solid booster. 3...2...1...launch. The force of the launch shoved me deep into the seat as I raced from 0 to over 2000 miles in under four seconds I felt the ship nose rise towards the heavens and race upwards at ten time the speed of sound. "well here I go" I grunted. "good luck rin."Rick spoke as the blast doors were cut down and the ng forced him onto the ground. "were is it" screamed a sergeant. "were the fuck is that fucking star ship." "Sir I think it already lanced." said a private. "What Goddamn it God fucking dammit why the fuck did we not get here sooner FUUUUUUCCCKKK." The seg quietly sighed "well there no choice now we have to shot it down get NASA on the line.

Above there earth moving at 36miles a second I orbited the blue ball called earth it felt odd to be in zero gee but I was here and had a job to do. "Computer start charging warp drive and target new Eden" Yes commander time to charge warp drive 30 seconds …...new hope located time to RP warp point two minutes and Thirty seconds " a robotic voice spoke. Back on earth."Sir we have the visual targeted we can fire in two minutes and thirty three seconds." "Good." snapped a sergeant "I want it destroyed and the sooner the better." Warp drive charged preparing to jump t mins 10 seconds …...warning incoming missile incoming missile time to impact ten seconds take evasive measures." "well shit" was the only thing I could come up with they really wanted to stop this ship. I could hear the whine growing louder as the warp drive charged it was ready to go and I could not stop it it was impossible like trying to stop a hurricane with a paper towel. "Engaging warp drive in 3...2...1...it felt like I was hit by a million pounds of rocks at once as space seemed to warp and distort and just leap at me as i was smashed back into the seat. "warp drive engaged commander congratulations your have broken the speed of light." "yipe" was all I could gasp. Back at NASA "Sir we …...missed we hit the space shuttle omega we hit are own shit." gasped the tech. "this is going to cost me my job I could stop it and now its too late its too late." cried the sergeant. In the distant the sky seemed to fill with an ungodly amount of light as a massive fireball and the earth shook as the moon disapeard chunks rained down destroying most of life as we know it.
