Helen stood at the command deck of the Furry. Helen was the commander of the ship in the Earth fleet. She was the senior officer of the ship and had a lieutenant as her second in command named Pablo. The Earth fleet was all of earths starships floating in space. The year was 3005 and humans had long past left earth and set sail for new lands and other life forms. Indeed they had found other life in distant galaxies and different planets. They had made friends with some aliens and made enemies with others but to everyone and space all other races were aliens. The Earth forces had inhabited a planet called Vorlex. They named there capital Regalia because of a story that has happened a longtime ago in fact a very long time ago in a galaxy far far away. no not star wars stop interrupting my twists also don t read this before you read the beginning of this chapter. "Hey captain explain to me why we named our capital Regalia" Pablod asked his senior officer. "Well it is somewhat of a legend that happened a thousand years ago when we barely had any spaceships as they were called then but now they are called starships." She took a deep breath and explained. i will not use quotes for her explaining the story so take that!
A long time ago, a thousand years ago in the year 2005 a young boy named Gregor who was eleven years old found a place called the Underland when his sister fell through a grate in the laundry roon . The Underland was a place that seemed to be something out of a fantasy book. The place has amazing creatures they were all bigger than what we were used to on our old planet Earth where some people still live today even though it it is tough to live in because it is polluted and many living areas are in ruins. Anyway Gregor found big rats, scorpions, bats, spiders, ants and mice. The Underland seemed to be like a fairy tale though there was no magic of wizards, witches and mages. Then humans found Regalia and dug out its treasures and killed the rats and all of the other creatures. Than we found it extrodinary and wondered how humans survived in low light and that encouraged us to expand to space although it is nothing more than a legend and is not true but we like to pass the story along to our children because it is a good story hopefully one that will last for ages.
