So, without any further due, here is the story!
The Mzarx500 is a fierce ship with cutting edge technology. It's by far the fastest ship in the 98D sector, it has full plasma cannons, that can shoot in any direction, its design in slick and oppressive, making all other ships to look like children's toys. It's so incredible that all the raiders of the sector try to put their hand on it, but always fail due to the speed and fire power of this ship. Most people call it "Death Lighting" but Captain Sam call it "The Moth". And Sam can do that, after all, who is the owner of the ship? That's right, Sam is. Maybe that name is because of the stealth system of the ship, or maybe because it can fly in any direction, but no one dares to question the Captain. The small crew that travel with Sam are Mink, the crazy torak space engineer and Lativber, the human weapon specialist. No one is sure of what race Sam is, but again, no one dares to question the Captain. They get along very well, and have been in many trips together. You could say they are family already, just don't say it in front of the Captain. Something happened in the past with the Cap's family, but by now you probably know already what I'm going to say right?
It all started as it always does: Sam got a message to help some traders in the border of Guklen, really close to the Runit system. "Ok, another easy job for us" thought Sam, while setting the course in the ship main window. "Warp gate ready to deploy Cap!" screamed Mink below the deck. Sam was not a big fan of warp gates, but it was the only way to get to the destination in time to meet the traders. With a simple gesture in the air, the portal was open in front of the ship. A big golden purple ripple in space, bending the view in front of them. Lativber gripped tight to the chair, and in a blink of an eye they were gone. The jump is supposed to be fast and clean, but for some reason it was taking longer than usual. Sam decided to look the left to watch the ripples of energy that happens when you warp, but what the Captain saw was...
Now it's up to you!!! Keep the story going, and have a lot of fun!!!!
I hope you like this ideia! Next week I'm think about something like an ancient story, or maybe something funny and unpredictable. Who knows? You have to check it out!
Thanks for reading until here!!! See you soon!
Keep posting and keep shining!
