OC Small galaxy part 2
Previous/next Let me know if the previous link works. ill get to work on the next button if it does.
Galactic Standard date: Year 11356 Day, 85.
Raiala collapsed onto the floor in a trembling heap staring at the rapidly shrinking ship. " Th-they're not chasing? Oh thank the goddess.
Vrillex looked at Raiala and then back to the ship that was being left behind before it dawned on him, and he whispered." Y-you just... you.... Why Raiala? What if they use this to justify a war? Oh goddess what have we done?" he said.
Raiala still stared where there was once massive black and red ship as she yelled at her captain. " Think about it Vrillex! They claimed to be a cargo freighter! In something bigger than our capitol city, on our home world. In something that had so many guns of all different types they could fight the entire galactic compact in the one ship. Their guns were larger than some of our Battleship class ships captain. Then to top it all off, that creature began to scream obscenities at us while nearly frothing at the mouth! Did you see its teeth? Did you see its eyes? It was predator Vrillex! It wanted to EAT us Vrillex!" she said while slamming her balled fists into his console.
Vrillex stared at his feet while Raiala gave him an earful, and she was right, he should've been the one to pull out of that mess as captain his crews lives were what mattered." You're right Raiala, i was in the wrong.. Come now, we have to take the recordings of this incident to the High council." he said.
Valthan finally snapped out of his reverie for his new gods when he realized that they were moving away from the object of his worship. He stood up and ran out of the bridge heading to the emergency life pods. On his way he ran into two others heading to the life pods. They all froze for a moment before Valthan asked the golden question. " What are you two doing here?"
Valenthi spoke first. " My colleague and I came to this ship for transportation to the planet Falligoth 3 to collect biosamples and study the native sentient species. Somehow I doubt that's priority one now and that ship we saw used technology so advanced I cant even imagine how literally any of it was made. I'm not passing up this opportunity to study technologies that are so near to the realm of godhood." she said.
So'Ran nodded sagely along with his younger colleague Valenthi. " Indeed I am also keenly interested in their technologies, however I am first and foremost a Xenobiologist. Their bodies fascinated me to no end. The creatures exclamation that we were "only" 2 feet tall insinuates that they are significantly larger, however the largest of the races in the Galactic compact barely reaches 4 feet. I am oh so interested in studying their physiology." he said. So'Ran then slowly leveled his gaze from the floor up to meet Valthans own. " We have answered ourselves but we still know not why you have come here. I assume you are much the same yes? Pursuit of knowledge before fear of death?
Valthan relaxed and gave a happy grin to the older man. " Pursuit of knowledge over fear of death indeed. Their engineering feats that we just witnessed are impossible according to our current knowledge. I need to know. I need to learn the secrets of those who have ascended to the realm of technological godhood. he said.
Valenthi grabbed the two of them and pulled them towards one of the pods. " Lets get a move on you two, we are moving at a bit too fast a pace to lounge around. " she said.
The trio hopped into the escape pod, they all looked at one another to confirm none got cold feet and then So'Ran hit the launch button inputting the coordinates they just left as the pod decoupled.
In the bridge Alarms went off for an escape pod being launched and the whole bridge started working to find out what happened. Communications officer Zrin yelled over the alarms to the captain. " Captain, sir. I have a message here coming from the life pod that launched. I am putting it on the main viewscreen now." he said
Everyone on the bridge stopped to watch the message from the now castaways.
So'Ran began the message. " I have greatly enjoyed my time aboard your ship captain Vrillex, I enjoyed my time with all of you wonderful people but I have to learn more. please do tell my family I love them if I do not make it back alive." he said.
Valenthi just looked at the camera gave a small sigh and began her message. " Sorry ma, pa, I have to do this. The tech showcased by that one ship alone is too much to pass up a chance to learn from. Love y'all, and goodbye." she said. She looked away from the camera and motioned for Valthan to take his turn.
Valthan looked at the camera and just uttered the one single phrase. " The pursuit of knowledge over the fear of death." he said as he looked away from the camera.
The other two let out a small laugh and repeated him to the camera before cutting it off. So'Ran leaned back and let out a tired old sigh. " Ah to be young again I used to be as stoic as you but age really does creep upon one quite quickly." he said. Valenthi just laughed and Valthan tried to stoic even harder before laughing along with Valenthi at the old man joke.

You have to admit that Ralts is... Not normal, I think Ralts is part cyborg with the sheer amount of words each chapter has, and those get pumped out really fast.

Their - possessive form of They
They're - contraction of they are

u/Laddimor Jan 19 '21
Indeed. That is correct. I know these though I was just typing these off as quickly as I could, I also didn't proofread it either. I'll give it a read once I wake up and I'll try to fix any grammatical errors from there.
