Will's P.O.V
"I think it is." Hope flows through me, maybe somehow The Resolute followed us. But a voice in the back of my head says to think, use logic, that's not The Resolute, that's some other sattelite.
"It is a sattelite, but its not The Resolute. Its some other sattelite, somehow on the other side of the universe with us."
Mom looks like she has an idea, dad looks exhausted, Judy looks calm, and Penny looks like shes scheming.
Mom finally speaks, "well, if it is an Earthen sattelite, we should be able to contact it." Mom moves towards the communication console as she says this, but Penny beats her to it.
"Uh, this is Jupiter Two, we see your sattelite, and it would be very useful to us if you said who you are. Over."
Penny did good. We all wait for a reply. We're about to just give up when we hear the unmistakeable sound of a transmission coming through.
"Jupiter Two, this is the Fortuna speaking, I am the onboard interface known as the Technical Operations Machine, but I answer to T.O.M. How may I help you. Over."
We all look at each other, T.O.M? Mom pushes Penny put of the way. "You said you were an interface, do you have any, erm, non-interfaces on board?"
"Yes. I woke them up from cryrogenic sleep a moment ago, they should be here any moment."
Ava's P.O.F
Why am I awake? Did something go wrong?
"Uh T.O.M?"
"Yes, Ava?"
"Why am I awake?"
"It would be best if you came and saw for yourself. Please come to the bridge."
Huh, guess theres a problem. I head up to the bridge and I dont see anything missing or on fire, so I stand there confused.
"Ava, perhaps it would help if you looked out of the window."
I walk over to the window and I figure it out pretty fast, theres no Jupiter loomimg, and with no Jupiter, there's no Europa. The only thing I see are two stars collapsing on to each other and one lone ship in the distance.
And then my brain starts to catch up. Sarah isn't here. "Was Sarah kidnapped? Is she on that other ship? Where is she?"
"She's still asleep, I tried to wake her, but she threatened to destroy my servers with the power of freedom ,carried by the American Bald Eagle. I am not quite sure what that means, but I assume it is known as the power of patriotism. But she seemed much too willing to carry out her threat, so I just let her be."
"Good judgement call T.O.M" I say, because, me being German, we don't have the erm, country pride that Americans do. Must be an American thing.
"Okay then, whats the problem?" I ask.
"Another ship, the one in the distance, they want to know if there were any non interfaces on board, and i thought of you. You were the one who believed in me the longest. So I suggest you make contact."
"Understood."
I click the microphone button. "Uh, ths is The Fortuna, of the Europa Mining mission. I am Ava Turing. Over"
"Fortuna, this is the Jupiter Two, of the Alpha Centauri Colonization mission. This is Maureen Robinson. Do you know how we both somehow ended up on the other side of the universe?"
"I'm not quite sure, what do you think T.O.M?"
"I'm not sure. I was running diagnostics, then some loud sounds occured, I ran another diagnostic, and the location was unknown."
"Huh, well, its only speculation right now. What do you guys think?"
I hear some muttering, I don't think they realize that they're still pushing the button to transmit. Something about the robot, a battle, and traitorous scum. I just decide to be patient. Eventually I get a reply.
"We think its because of this engine we have on board. Ava, do you believe in aliens?" Maureen asks.
An alien organism. A super virus that can make you live forever. Doomed to the sattelite, stuck with Sarah and T.O.M. for eternity. Organism 119 condemming me for all of time.
"Yeah, I'm not surprised. What type of alien did you find?" I ask.
"Well, it saved us, but Will can tell the story, if you don't mind a change in direction."
"No not at all, a story would be nice, keep my mind distracted."
I hear shuffling, and a voice I haven't heard yet comes through.
"This is the story of how I met the Robot."One story, and one adventure later, I learned how the Robinsons had a whole life and death situation. It sounded worse than what I went through, but I guess it was my turn to tell my story.
Penny's P.O.V:
Ava's story sounded intense. I would hate finding out if I was controlled like that. But I want to see, see what this Organism 119 can do. See if it actually works, an infinite everything, that would be cool.
My plan, it all starts with the Fortuna, and the Jupiter 2 getting closer together, closer range for a spacesuit, and a jump across. Oh yeah, this'll work...
A/N:
And things start to progress...I'm so sorry, I just got busier than I thought I would, thank you for being so patient! And thank you to those of you who stick with me, even if I said I would update, even if I don't update for like a month, until next chapter, adios
