Mission Survival
Chapter 1: Future Regrets
Washington DC, America's capital, at a certain place on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, a handsome young man in his mid-twenties was in deep conversation. (This is the address of The White House, for those who don't know). The oval office is a room most people never even see the inside of, let alone have a conversation with the man who works there, yet there, in the office of the President of the United States, was this twenty-five year old man, completely at ease, coolly surveying the room after having just finished talking with the most important man in the country. This young man was tall, at around six-foot and handsome, with immaculately groomed long, brown hair. His deep blue eyes resonated with intelligence, and he had a handsome, face that had changed dramatically since his younger days. His spotless black suit topped off his appearance and gave him a look that had intelligence written all over it. As he walked out of the room, and strode purposefully down the hall, he reflected on his life. He was a genius and had graduated college with Phd's in astrophysics, particle physics, chemistry and math. He was a scientist, yet also a sort of politician at the same time. He was a genius with a number of patents that could be confused with your yearly taxes, his inventions had made him rich beyond his wildest dreams. And he had his own company, Neutron Advanced Sciences, that included a space and aeronautics branch as well as many others. His company had a launch center where he launched his company's spaceflights, satellites, CEV's, colonization flights and his own reusable spacecraft design that he sold to NASA and had replaced their shuttle. He had an empire that included a space station, an exploration and laboratory base on the moon as well as a network of satellites and myriad other outlets. These had made him a multi-billionaire and from his huge headquarters on the largest island of a Pacific chain, he commanded his empire. His launch center was located on another island along with his aeronautics compound featuring three runways and many hangers. Mission control was on yet another island and his main factory on another. He had plants, office buildings, corporate headquarters, and airports around the globe, his network of satellites connected the world and were launched dually from his two launch centers, one on the island, the other in Texas.
As he strode purposefully down a grand spiral staircase he reflected on his life. He had graduated college at age 17 with his Phd's, and had found work at NASA, he spent time there as the assistant to the man in charge of space-craft design, but after around a year, his superiors resented his genius and fired him. Furious, Jimmy sold his house, and used all of his money to buy a small lab and materials, within months, he had created a revolutionary dark energy (Yes that does exist, I could go into specifics, but it would probably be around two pages long, I will try my best to explain it if you want though) reaction engine that was smaller than the current one and didn't use any materials besides the dark energy present in space for the reaction as well as around a pound of specialized condensed atoms that reacted with the energy. He patented his design and borrowed a huge sum of money to make the ship, his design changed space travel forever, and then, tons of patents, and billions later, here he was, one of the richest and most powerful men alive. He was still best friends with Carl and Sheen, Sheen who was one of his best astronauts and Carl, who had become a biologist and was designing a way to have plants grow in an artificial environment on the moon. Libby was an amazing singer, whose albums had sparked a revolution in popular culture. Cindy, Cindy was a different story. Jimmy Neutron reflected as he walked out of the white house and into the waiting Rolls Royce stretch limo that was waiting for him. Unmarked security motorcycles and cars followed his car for protection. Cindy, they had been going out in college and afterwards, when they had broken up violently and publicly after he patented his engine design and she had moved on to become an actress and a scientist, at the same time. She was currently dating a cabinet member of the current administration and had found huge success. Jimmy shook his head in an attempt to get Cindy off of his mind. He remembered how much it had hurt when she left him and tried in vain to forget this by picking up a tablet laptop around a centimeter thick and tapped it with a stylus. The interior of the limo dimmed as a holographic image projected from a holo-projector, Jimmy's invention, built into the center of the floor. He picked up a bottle of spring water, he didn't drink, and sipped it as the computer run the simulation for the upcoming Galileo III mission to establish a temporary base from which to search for life on Jupiter's moon Europa, (Europa has an ocean underneath it's ice, and since original life started in the ocean, it seems a logical place) his two unmanned flights, Galileo I and II had proved unsuccessful at penetrating the extremely thick ice, and they needed humans to use the high powered laser necessary. He sighed at all of the factors and tapped the surface of his laptop again, switching to the news.
"In the news today, revolutionary multi-billionaire and genius Commander Neutron has been chosen for Time magazine's person of the year as well as People's most eligible bachelor. He is rumored to be in for a Nobel prize later in the year. Also, Neutron Space Administration's upcoming Galileo III mission is rumored to be commanded by Commander Neutron himself. (He's commander Neutron because the government awarded him this rank in honor of his services in helping redesign there space-ships) More information on this story as it developes…" Jimmy smiled ruefully, most eligible bachelor, who would've thought. His life was good, he only had one regret, and that was, Cindy, he had never tried to get her back, and now, it was too late…
A/N: Well, how did you like it? It's only chapter one, and I like to think of it as a prologue, so count it as a sort of prologue, tell me what you thought, R + R…
