Chapter 3 - Up in Space
MIR 2 RUSSIAN SPACE STATION - 05:30 PM
The Mir 2 Russian Space Station (Mir 2 RSS) was lunched sometime in late 2006. It was a replacement for Mir, an earlier Russian space station that burned up on March 23rd 2001. Costing more that 5 billion, it was the biggest space station ever built to date, even bigger than the International Space Station. Both shuttles arrived the space station within 15 minutes. The shuttles neared onto the 2 ends of the space station and the airtight docks docked onto the shuttle's hatches.
Yuri and Marty left Shuttle Constitution with a giant thick white pipe and waited for the airtight capsule hatch to open. A grumpy looking man in an orange cosmonaut spacesuit greeted them. The name emblem on his suit read Alexis Komarov. "What do you think this is? A gas station?" Alexis said in a Russian accent. He didn't look too amused at all.
Cosmonaut Alexis Komarov had been stationed in the Mir 2 Space Station for more than 12 months, leaving him grumpy and lonely. His duty there was simple, to greet and help every astronaut coming in and out of Mir 2. But due to the recent space disasters, only one Russian team went up to Mir 8 months ago.
"Um right, can we please get over this?" Martin requested.
"You Americans are so pushy!"
They entered the space station. Alexis went to the other end to open the other hatch that Independence was docked. A few minutes later, Alexis came back to the intersection with Neil and Valeri behind him. They too carried the white giant pipe that lead to the Nitrous Oxide tank. Neil helped the cosmonauts to attach it to the Nitrous Oxide Pumps while Marty gets Space Stations 101s from Alexis.
Alexis and Marty climbed down the ladder into the Nitrous Oxide Tank Chamber. The chamber was cold and filled with thousands of gauges, instructions in Russian, dials, buttons and meters.
"Burr... Why is it so cold in here?" Marty curiously asked Alexis.
"That is because it is Nitrous Oxide boy." The cosmonaut replied. "Now listen, when the meter reaches the red... uh... How you Americans say it... boiling point? Anyway, you pull down this red lever until it lowers to the blue mark then you raise it again. Do this over and over until this meter reaches 100 percent." Alexis pointed out.
"Right." Marty shivery spoke as he rubbed his 2 hands.
"Good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get acquainted with my Russian comrades!"
Marty was dumbfounded. Who could think of friends at a time like this? "Aren't you gonna help me?"
"Uh... no, I taught you Americans can do everything." Alexis responded as he went up the ladder.
Marty turned his head back to the controls, his mind went blank as he saw the gauges, dials, buttons, the Russian words, meters, thermometers and levers. Back up at Mir's main cabin, the Russians were having a friendly conversation. Neil was wondering why he wasn't with Marty.
"How's Martin doing?" Neil asked Alexis in an English accent.
"Oh don't worry, the boy's doing fine." Alexis assured and went back to his conversation.
"Alexis!"
Neil heard Marty's cry and looked at Alexis. He didn't seem to hear it as he was having a laugh with Yuri and Valeri. The Russians didn't to seem to care about anything but themselves. Neil sighed and went down the fuel chamber.
"Um... Alexis!" Marty yelled again. But instead of Alexis, Neil came down into the chamber
"What wrong Martin?" Neil asked.
"I don't know what happened! I pulled down the lever but the meter's still rising!"
Neil took a good look at the meters. His eyes widen. The danger gauge was at the critical point.
"It's going to blow!" Yelled Neil as he ran out of the capsule and rushed towards Shuttle Constitution. Marty's mind went blank as he remained inside the chamber. Neil went past the Russians as he ran towards the docks. The sirens started to sound and emergency red lights started to blink. Marty then ran up the ladder and towards the docks.
"What's going on?" Alexis shouted at the top of his lungs. Everyone ran to their separate paths. Alexis ran into Independence together with Valeri and Neil while Marty and Yuri scrambled towards the hatch of Constitution.
"QUICK! DETACH AWAY FROM MIR!" Yuri yelled at Alan as he quickly closed the airtight hatch.
Both shuttles manage to detach away from Mir 2 before the newly built space station exploded into billions of burning pieces. The 5 billion dollar space station that took 2 months to complete was completely destroyed in 5 seconds. Still racing side by side, the Shuttles were headed towards the moon. Their Nitrous Oxide tanks were only 85 percent full as the Shuttles standby for full thrust.
"Huston, we're ready for full speed" Alan of Shuttle Constitution said over the radio.
"Independence UE5, Constitution UE5, you are clear for full speed."
Alan and Neil pressed a red button. Blue light emitted from the orbiters' rear boosters and both shuttles suddenly got a boost of speed. The digital speedometer of Shuttles Constitution and Independence rapidly rose from 1800MPH to 4 375 452 MPH. The interior vibrated vigorously. Their bodies were painfully pressurized into their seats as G-force hit them. Within 10 minutes, they passed by the moon and Mars before heading towards the asteroid belt.
"Huston, we're headed for the Asteroid belt!" Reported Alan in a British accent.
"Roger that." The radio faintly responded. They were about to lose communication with Huston.
Shuttle Constitution was right behind Shuttle Independence, following its lead in flying around the complex path of the Asteroid Belt. Due to the lack of time, the shuttles were traveling at over 58 000 MPH, a slow but yet a dangerous speed to be in. Smaller rocks hit the shuttles' titanium body like snowballs while larger ones are being avoided. But despite the good driving of George and Yuri, they were unable to navigate perfectly through the Asteroid Belt and a giant rock came in contact with the left wing of Shuttle Constitution UE5. Luckily, it left only a minor dent on its titanium body.
The shuttles left the Asteroid Belt and increased their speed towards Jupiter, passing by Europa, one of Jupiter's biggest moons. The shuttles blasted their way towards Saturn.
54 minutes later, the shuttles neared Saturn, and because of the gravity, the orbiters were pulled towards its rings, that were made up of ice partials orbiting the planet. Both shuttles slowed their speed as the ice particles smashed onto the shuttles' titanium body. As they were about to leave Saturn's orbit, a giant rock bumped onto the left wing of Shuttle Constitution UE5 again. This time, it made a hole on the wing.
Inside the Space Shuttle Constitution UE5, the emergency alarm sounded. The spies' and Marty started to panic while Valeri and George tried to keep the Shuttle in control.
"What's happening?" Screeched Alex, trying to compete with the loud noises. Her words were shakey.
"We've just hit a rock." Valeri yelled as he kept the steering wheel steady. The speed of the shuttle quickly changed from 102 342 MPH to 3 499 455 MPH. The spacecraft went out of control as it rapidly went out of Saturn's orbit and in front of Independence UE5. The pilots, Alan and Yuri saw Constitution went past them before heading out towards the solar system. Without delay, Alan turned on the radio to check on Constitution.
"Constitution! Shuttle Constitution UE5! Can you hear me?"
There was no answer. The crew of Shuttle Constitution screamed their hearts out. They were scared. As the shuttle hurdle past Uranus' orbit then Neptune, Sam and Clover, Marty and Alex managed to held hands despite the pressure that was sitting on top of them. Yuri let out a silent prayer in Russian while George tried to kept his eyes open. The shuttle continued to travel at high speed until it touched a ground, somewhere...
SUSPENSE! SUSPENSE! What will happen to the spies and Marty? Where did they land? Find out in Chapter 4… In the mean time please review….
Mathew: No…not yet…try doing it again please…
Ominae: Thank you…you can use him…I don't mind…Just remember to keep him in character…he lives in Chicago and remember to feed him twice a day…HA HA!
