The Lone Promise: Promise of the North
Episode 4: "Planet Artificial"
2. Feranin (K-003b)
Feranin looks like Jupiter but it was the first true challenge for the Kestian people. It was like Mars for the feds. However, the Kestian people are stubborn and don't give up. They kept trying until they succeeded. It was a shock to the known space. More land was on Feranin, more than Starmoon. Feranin's atmosphere is like earth's but its environment is kept more. The Kestians are careful in using limited recourses. The Kestian people are so advanced that they don't need the planet's recourses, they have their own made unlimited resources. The Krypt welcome the Kestian people with open arms. Feranin was the first planet the Kestian government tried with to make rings on. They tried and succeeded after making the planet solid and inhabited. Kestis Shipping is located here; its members get delivery missions of all sorts from here. It's the main religious planet of Kestis, only religious planet. Tolasin University is located here.

3rd of August, 1971 - Starmoon, Kestis
"Roy? Where are you?" Leaf asked.
"Come and find me." Fe'Roy replied.
"You're good in this hide and seek game." Leaf stated.
"It's an ancient one, but with modern tech." Fe'Roy smiled.
Fe'Karen smiled at them, watching from the entrance. Leaf was Fe'Roy same age and his best friend. The two were playing in virtual reality, from what Fe'Karen was seeing from the virtual monitor, the two were looking for one another in a thick jungle. Her son: Fe'Roy, was excellent and played like an expert. Without warning, a violent shockwave rocked the whole system. Ta'Alan and Re'Dave: Leaf's father, held onto trani's entrance. The door was closed behind them.
"What was that?" Re'Dave asked.
Re'Dave had yellow; short hair with black eyes. He had on the common remian battle suit. Re'Dave was the co-pilot of the new Kestis Starbridge Young Owl. Ta'Alan was the pilot. Sti'Nercan had it updated with all the defense and offense devices he and his laboratories could make, which they extracted or made from Owl of Starmoon, or designs it had. Young Owl was the first impenetrable defensive fort. Ta'Alan blinked, but didn't reply.
"Kar! Roy!" He yelled.
Fe'Karen rushed out towards Ta'Alan, quickly embracing him.
"Where's Roy?" Ta'Alan asked.
"He's on the virtual hide and seek game, with Leaf." Fe'Karen replied.
Ta'Alan was silent for a moment. Fe'Roy and Leaf rushed out, panting. Ta'Alan quickly changed his mind. Leaf had blonde; long hair in a pony tail with black eyes.
"We all better go and check what happened. We'll go to Tazuya. Everyone, onboard onto Young Owl." Ta'Alan decided.
"Are you sure about this?" Fe'Karen asked.
Ta'Alan nodded, "The explosion didn't happen in this system, neither did it happen in any nearby system. I'm planning to investigate in it."
Re'Dave and Leaf were the first to leave and enter Young Owl. Ta'Alan was the last.
"This is Young Owl, requesting departure." Re'Dave requested.
"Affirmative, you have a go. Puma of Kestis and Emestar are to join you. May Allah protect you all." The traffic control replied.
Young Owl blasted off into space. Young Owl waited and a few moments later, two spears blasted out of Starmoon's atmosphere. The two spears went into formation behind Young Owl.
'You expected that I wanted to check this out?' Ta'Alan asked.
'Yep. No way are we going to miss this.' Rel'Tanis nodded.
'Just like old times.' Re'Tamuchi smiled.
'We're heading to Tazuya.' Ta'Alan stated.
'Roger.' Re'Tamuchi nodded.
'I copy you.' Rel'Tanis replied.
Young Owl and its two escorts jumped out of Kestis.
4th of August, 1971 - Tazuya, Jerebi Center
Young Owl; Puma of Kestis and Emestar all entered Tazuya. Jerebi Center was in the distance. Ta'Alan sighed with relief. Re'Dave requested docking and was approved. Young Owl; Puma of Kestis and Emestar all docked out in space. Extending crovinze corridors came out to let the pilots and the passengers in. Once attached and secured, Ta'Alan; his family; Re'Dave; Leaf; Rel'Tanis and Re'Tamuchi all walked through the corridors into Jerebi Center.
St'Tamuta and another female strey scientist was there, once they all left the corridors. The female had short blonde hair with a strey uniform and sparkling dark green eyes. St'Tamuta bowed to them all, Ta'Alan and the others bowed back.
"This is St'Melissa Direfon. If you don't mind Ta'Alan, for she'll accompany you out of here." St'Tamuta explained.
Before he could reply, a vision suddenly flashed in Ta'Alan's mind.
-What the heck is that? - Re'Dave asked, sitting up.
-Young Owl's sensors shows it as an Electro-Magnetic Storm, a huge one to that. - Ta'Alan replied.
-Only one jump away from Tazuya. We can't pass that thing. If we're to jump again, we'll need to go through it. - Re'Dave stated.
Ta'Alan nodded, -Rel'Tanis? Re'Tamuchi? Do you two copy? -
No response. Re'Dave stared worriedly at Ta'Alan.
-I'll check Young Owl's sensors. - Re'Dave decided.
Ta'Alan gasped, noticing Puma of Kestis and Emestar, heading straight for the storm.
-No need. They're not in formation. - Ta'Alan replied.
-Uh? Where are they then? - Re'Dave asked.
Ta'Alan nodded ahead. Re'Dave looked and saw them, he gasped. In a few moments, Puma of Kestis and Emestar disappeared from Young Owl's sensors.
Ta'Alan blinked himself back to reality.
"Fine with me." Ta'Alan replied.
"Excellent. Our long range sensors show that Rebel 1 still exists and the whole rebellion fleet is there." St'Tamuta explained.
"Was there any strange... phenomena that the sensors picked up?" Ta'Alan asked.
St'Tamuta shook his head, "That from what I saw. Everything was just fine and normal, except for that shockwave."
"We'll need to check what's been going on. Coming Melissa?" Ta'Alan asked.
St'Melissa smiled, "Sure."
St'Melissa noticed that Ta'Alan didn't mention her Fetalin before her name. She joined them.
"Aren't you all going to stay any longer?" St'Tamuta asked.
"We have to check if there are any others in known space." Ta'Alan replied.
"I'll be researching the shockwave: 'Novalight', case with my team. Keep in touch. May Allah protect you all. Salam!" St'Tamuta waved.
Ta'Alan nodded, "Salam."
Ta'Alan; Leaf; Fe'Roy; Fe'Karen; Re'Dave and St'Melissa all entered Ta'Alan's Young Owl. Rel'Tanis and Re'Tamuchi formed protective shells around themselves, forming their elegant spears. Without hesitation, once everyone was inside, the crovinze corridors withdrew. Young Owl; Puma of Kestis and Emestar all departed from Jerebi Center. They all jumped out of the system, Ta'Alan was fearful of what might happen and what he might see and encounter.
5th of August, 1971 - SPC-2710
Young Owl and its two escorts entered SPC-2710. The convoy came to a full stop. Ta'Alan sweat-dropped and sighed. The electro-magnetic storm was ahead of them.
'Tanis! Tamuchi! No matter what! Hold your positions!' Ta'Alan ordered.
'We'll try our best.' Rel'Tanis replied.
'Don't try! Do!' Ta'Alan urged.
'O.K.' Re'Tamuchi stated.
'What the heck is that?' Re'Dave asked, sitting up.
'Young Owl's sensors shows it as an Electro-Magnetic Storm, a huge one to that.' Ta'Alan replied.
'Only one jump away from Tazuya. We can't pass that thing. If we're to jump again, we'll need to go through it.' Re'Dave stated.
Ta'Alan nodded, 'Rel'Tanis? Re'Tamuchi? Do you two copy?'
No response. Re'Dave stared worriedly at Ta'Alan.
'I'll check Young Owl's sensors.' Re'Dave decided.
Ta'Alan gasped, noticing Puma of Kestis and Emestar, heading straight for the storm.
'No need. They're not in formation.' Ta'Alan replied.
'Ah? Where are they then?' Re'Dave asked.
Ta'Alan nodded ahead. Re'Dave looked and saw them, he gasped. In a few moments, Puma of Kestis and Emestar disappeared from Young Owl's sensors.
'I ordered them to keep formation.' Ta'Alan sighed.
"Go after them?" Re'Dave asked.
Ta'Alan stared at Re'Dave. That was a life changing decision. Ta'Alan knew what to answer, without any hesitation.
"I'm not losing my two best Remians." He replied.
"Right on it." Re'Dave smiled, sitting back down on his seat.
'St'Melissa? Are you getting this interference?' Ta'Alan asked.
'Yeah. This is the first I ever saw. It would be amazing to study it closer and maybe check to see what it can do.' St'Melissa replied.
'Scientists.' Re'Dave muttered.
'I have a feeling that, that's a time travel storm. It's not normal. Everyone hang on! We don't know what we'll encounter.' Ta'Alan stated.
The engines fired up and Young Owl blasted towards the storm. Getting closer, the sensor weakly picked up on Puma of Kestis and Emestar in the distance, until they suddenly vanished. A pulse of light rammed through Young Owl, Ta'Alan mentally put on auto-pilot, before he passed out with the others.
35 TC, 2041 AD - Starmoon, Kestis
'Dear?' Fe'Karen asked.
Ta'Alan opening his eyes, moaning.
'Where are we?' He asked.
'No clue.' Re'Dave replied, sighing.
'Are Rel'Tanis and Re'Tamuchi anywhere nearby?' Ta'Alan asked.
'We're here in Young Owl. We're fine Ta'Alan; got sent here before Young Owl.' Rel'Tanis replied.
Ta'Alan sighed, relived. He looked outside around him, from the captain's cabin. They were on an inhabitable planet. He quickly checked the year on Young Owl's main frame.
'35 TC.' Ta'Alan thought.
That was the response.
'We actually did travel back in time.' Ta'Alan blinked.
'Way back.' Re'Dave awed.
He slowly and gently put his hand on his kestis handle. Ta'Alan shook his head.
'I have a feeling we won't need that.' Ta'Alan stated.
'What's the exact date?' Fe'Karen asked.
'... It won't say.' Ta'Alan replied.
"I see there is no use staying here." Re'Dave stated.
"... I agree. Let's go out and explore." Ta'Alan agreed.
"Won't it be dangerous?" Fe'Karen asked.
Ta'Alan blinked at his wife, "Dangerous? Four elite Remians are part of the group. We're safe enough."
Fe'Karen sighed, "Alright then. I guess I and St'Melissa would look after Fe'Roy and Leaf."
"Good idea. Everyone together and out!" Ta'Alan yelled, leaving the captain's cabin.
7th of October, 1976 - Ta'Snotic
Young Owl was blasted into an unknown system. Re'Dave was with him in the captain's cabin, while the others were back in the passenger seats. Ta'Alan stopped the engines completely and checked the date. It was the 7th of October, 1976. Five years has passed since they were gone. They had met up with Amarito back on Starmoon. They stayed there for a few days, before Young Owl headed back into space, locating the electro-magnetic storm.
At the time, Ta'Alan and the others thought that they would return to their time, but they were wrong. Yes, they went further into the future, but not far enough. The time was at the time of Vell-os war. Young Owl landed on Vellos in Vellos. Ta'Alan and the others saw the beauty of the Vell-osian society. They stayed there for a few days and were going to stay longer, if it weren't for the feds' bomb attack. Young Owl: with Ta'Alan and the others, were forced to blast out of Vellos.
The electro-magnetic storm was located and Young Owl went through it, bringing them to the current place and time.
"Where the heck are we?" Ta'Alan asked.
"Did a lot change since we were gone?" Re'Dave asked.
"There's even an inhabitable forest moon nearby." Ta'Alan added.
"What was the name of this system?" Re'Dave asked.
Ta'Alan searched through Young Owl's main frame.
"... K-009." Ta'Alan replied.
"And now?" Re'Dave asked.
Ta'Alan checked Young Owl's main frame. He sweat-dropped, looking ahead at the forest moon.
"Ta'Snotic. The forest moon is named Ta'Woseph." Ta'Alan replied.
"If it's inhabitable, then there'll be Kestis muzon of some sort. We need to check this out." Re'Dave stated.
"And brought up to date." Ta'Alan agreed.
Young Owl approached Ta'Woseph.
"This is Ta'Alan of Young Owl, requesting to land." Ta'Alan requested.
"Young Owl?! Welcome back! You're cleared to land." Traffic control replied.
Ta'Alan sighed, bringing Young Owl down into Ta'Woseph.
7th of October, 1976 - Ta'Woseph, Ta'Snotic
Everyone exited Young Owl. Rel'Tanis breathed in deeply.
"Do its decided then partner?" Rel'Tanis asked.
Ta'Alan looked at him weirdly.
"Sure is. The two of us are going to get a Kestis Striker and I'll be co-pilot. Rel'Tanis would be the captain of the new Puma of Kestis." Re'Tamuchi smiled.
"Be sure to have the devices that Young Owl has on it." Ta'Alan advised.
"Don't worry, we'll make sure of it." Rel'Tanis replied, walking away with Re'Tamuchi, arm over their necks.
"I'll need to get in contact with another strey fetalin, to pass the information and perhaps get a ride back to Jerebi Center, if not then to Starmoon. Salam!" St'Melissa waved, walking away.
Ta'Alan and his family waved back. St'Melissa and Fe'Karen came quite close during their stay together. Ta'Alan sighed. He had already locked Young Owl.
"As for the rest of us, we'll need to go and get back up to date." He stated.
"Yeah. Sti'Nercan must have news about the shockwave and what has happened so far." Fe'Karen agreed.
"We'll get in contact with him once we get to a holo-link." Ta'Alan nodded.
"He's the next in leadership after all of you and Rel'Tanis were away, correct?" Re'Dave asked, starting to walk away from Young Owl with Ta'Alan; his family and Re'Dave's own son.
"Yep. He is." Ta'Alan nodded.
