Galaxia 5
As the sun crept over the mountain and bathed the valley with
warmth, birds chirped and tiny boats rowed down a small river toward
an ocean with a name long since forgotten. Very few remembered such a
place because of the stupidity of humans. The humans reaped their
planet dry and had to pay for it. They have no right to cry over living in
the colonies.
A bell sounded softly and the sagging eyes of Steven Wells looked
up to see the screen with the beautiful planet Earth on it. It changed to a
schedule of times for ships leaving Slate, the largest airship colony.
Steven sat up and rose from his chair. His flight was now posted
"boarding" and he wanted to get on and get moving. Steven was a CEO
of a company that made electronic components for private companies;
he was very good at his job. He was tired, hungry, and had traveled
thousands of miles today. As he walked to his gate he saw many people
outside rioting, many did not approve of the interspace travel no doubt
used to help the Gundam fighting.
An stewardess walked up to him as he pressed a thumb to the
identity pad by the gate.
"Sir, you have the wrong gate. You can't be the captain."
"No, but I am a VIP reservation. Let me through or you could get
fired." Steven said venomously, "Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, I'm sorry" the stewardess said and flew off to help the other
customers.
Steven walked along the dimly lit corridor until he came to the
cockpit of the airship. He quickly stuck a disk into the main computer
and downloaded all the info on the hard disk. He could never be too
careful.
He came into the VIP lodging and stowed his briefcase in a
compartment as someone behind him spoke in a rich accent.
"Is there any more room in here?"
Steven turned to see a beautiful girl dressed all in red.
"No, it's free Miss."
"Thanks, I really didn't want to sit with the low-level people." she
said. "What's you name sir?"
"Steven, Steven Wells." he replied.
"My name is Rain Stone, I'm a sub-elite; me and my father are
flying to Galaxia 5 resort. My father is head of Stone INC., but he
wanted me to sit with the commoners."
"If your a sub-elite, he must be an elite, where is he?" Steven said.
"Bloody Hell! He's still in the waiting area. No one went to fetch
him." Rain said.
Just then a decrepit man at least double the age of Steven walked in
behind them.
"No need to worry child, I was just up to see the pilots, we should
be at our destination shortly."
"Yeah, now we can go to the hotel for the party." Rain said.
"Fine, Fine!" her father said exasperated.
"Father, where are my manners, this gentlemen is Steven Wells;
can he come to the party as my guest?"
"If it is okay with Steven it is fine, did you ask him?" Rain's father
said.
"No, Steven will you come, I need a date and you look like you
could relax." Rain said.
"Sure I'll come, I'm going to Galaxia 5 anyway on business."
