"Have you found any remaining traces of the Dark Core?" A voice asks.
"No sir. But we haven't finished our search. We are almost done and will return in about 30 minutes." The
grunt responds.
Suddenly a surge of light hits the lead grunt.
"Are you okay?" another grunt asks.
The affected grunt blasts the others.
"I'm just fine." The grunt says in a voice that is eerily like the Dark Core's.
-- The forgotten ones --
The grunt stretches and looks around.
"Ah it feels good to have a body again." Dark Core says.
Dark Core accesses the grunts memory banks.
"Hmmm. My link to the Phalanx collective was broken when my computer body was destroyed. A need a
new link." Dark Core says.
Pictures flash in front of Dark Core's head. It stops on the picture of the three core lords.
"Ah that's the answer to rejoining the party. And I just happen to be wearing the right kind of costume."
Dark Core says laughing.
And now for episode 19…
Joshua is sitting in a shuttlecraft relaxing back and reading a book.
"We have now entered the target system." The computer voice says.
Joshua puts down the book and looks at the console. He guides the ship towards a particular planet.
"This is Joshua. I request an audience with your master astrologer." Joshua says.
A face appears on the screen in appearance.
"Welcome traveler. Why do you request a audience?" The man onscreen asks.
"My crewmates need star charts so we can find our way back home." Joshua responds.
"Wait a sec while I consult with him." The man says.
The screen goes blank and stays that way for ten minutes. Finally the man's face reappears.
"He will see you. Please land at these coordinates." The man says.
"I am not familiar with your coordinate system." Joshua says.
"We have your ship on scans. We will guide." The man says.
After a few minutes of guiding Joshua is ready to land his craft. He gently lands it and exits the ship. The
man he talked to is waiting for him.
"Welcome. Follow me." The man says.
Joshua follows him to a small hut and enters it. In it is a woman sitting behind a desk.
"Welcome. My name Dale, I heard that you need some star charts." Dale says.
"Yeah we are new to this galaxy and we are trying to get our bearings so we can return to our own galaxy."
Joshua says.
"I too am trapped in an unfamiliar galaxy. I have been here for years now." Dale says.
"Really? Maybe we can help each other. I come from a ship that can travel distances fairly fast." Joshua
says.
"I will give you my star charts." Dale says.
"I am gonna return to my shuttle and contact my ship to come get me." Joshua says.
When Joshua leaves Dale and the other guy look at each other.
"He seems perfect for the trial." Dale says.
"But it could kill him." The man says.
"If it does than I will know he isn't worthy." Dale says.
Joshua enters the shuttle and turns on the communication.
"This is Joshua calling the Megavoyager." Joshua says.
"This is Janus. Did you find anything?" Janus asks.
"I found a woman that has extensive star charts. She claims to be from another galaxy as well." Joshua
responds.
"This time I want to go down to the planet and see the charts for myself to make sure they are for real."
Janus says.
"Okay. What is your estimated time of arrival?" Joshua asks.
"About two hours." Janus responds.
"Okay. Joshua out." Joshua says then turns the communication off.
He steps out from the ship and starts to walk back towards the building. Suddenly a huge earthquake hits
and knocks him to the ground. Before he can get up the ground falls out from beneath him. He lands hard
and gets knocked out by a rock. An hour later he wakes up groggily. It takes him a few minutes to
remember where he is and what happened.
"Wha? Where am I." Joshua asks himself.
There is nothing to see, as it is completely pitch black. Joshua remembers alarmingly that he fell
underground during an earthquake. It seems like he is buried alive. Joshua reaches into his pocket and
takes out his light and turns it on.
"If rocks are not on top of me then why can't I get up?" Joshua wonders.
He pushes himself up and tries to stand but he falls back down.
"What's wrong with my legs?" Joshua wonders.
He feels himself and is alarmed to realize that his bio suit is gone.
"This is Joshua. Can anybody out there here me?" Joshua yells into his communicator.
Nothing answers but static. Joshua beams the light around to see if he is trapped in a pocket. But he sees
what appears to be a passageway both in front of him and behind him.
"Well I can't afford to just go anywhere." Joshua says.
He takes out a scanner hoping that it is still any good. Luckily it seemed to have survived the fall.
"Now tell me where to go to get out of this place." Joshua says to the scanner.
The scanner screen shows a vast array of tunnels around him.
"Great. How am I ever gonna crawl through all this?" Joshua asks himself.
"You can't. You have to walk." A voice says out of nowhere.
The voice startles Joshua and he almost drops the scanner.
"Who? Who are you?" Joshua asks confused.
"I am your inner power. You know you could have walked along time ago if you tried your best but you
didn't." The voice responds.
"I was…" Joshua starts to say.
"Too afraid that if you started to walk again that you would get in another accident." The voice finishes for
him.
"Yeah." Joshua says softly.
"You have a lot to do to get out of here but first you must walk." The voice says.
Josh tries to get up on his legs again but falls again.
"I can't do it." Joshua says crying.
"You have been through worse than this since you have come to this strange galaxy. This is simple by
comparison. Now draw from your inner strength and stand and walk." The voice says loudly.
Joshua takes a deep breath and stands up. He slowly starts walking. After a few steps it starts to get easier.
"I can't believe it." Joshua says.
"Believe it. You have overcome your physical limitations." The voice says.
Joshua takes a look at the scanner and starts heading in the direction of the tunnels leading upwards. Along
the way he comes to a dead end. He takes out his blaster but then thinks better of it. He doesn't want to
cause a cave in.
"Now what?" Joshua wonders.
He backtracks and chooses another path but it too ends in a dead end. He goes to ever path the scanner can
find and they all are dead-ended.
"I'm trapped." Joshua says scared.
"Don't rely on technology. Use your intelligence to find a way out." The voice says.
Joshua goes back to where he woke up and goes the other direction even though the scanner shows a dead
end. It definitely does not end in a dead end. He finally reaches a dead end but he can feel a slight draft
which tells him that there is some crack to let air in.
"This is Joshua can anybody here me?" Joshua says again into his communicator.
"You are still relying on technology. You must free yourself." The voice says.
Joshua feels from where the draft is coming from and pushes around the area. The rocks around the area
seem loose but they won't move enough with his pushing and budging. Joshua finally just punches the
wall. His hand hurts but the rocks fall off and he sees daylight. He pushes around some more till the
opening is big enough for him to go through. Once he is outside he collapses on the ground from
exhaustion.
"So there you are. I have been looking for you. I am glad to see you survived the earthquake." Dale says.
"I barely survived it. Was caught in a cave in and knocked out." Joshua says out of breath.
Dale helps Joshua return to her house while they wait for the ship to come. Janus comes out of the ship
after it lands.
"These star charts seem genuine." Janus asks.
Janus and the others go to the bridge to enter the star chart data in.
"That's it! The computer has our location now. It's only a matter of getting back to the edge of the
galaxy." Janus says happily.
"Looks like we got pretty far away though. May take us a few weeks." Matt says.
"Yeah but at least we will be heading in the right direction at last." Janus says.
"Well shall we set a course for home?" Joshua asks.
"Yes let's." Janus says.
To be continued…
Next week is Cynthia's trial. Will she sacrifice the male rangers to finally belong somewhere?
