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...
What a surprise, his son was on the boat and he began to touch what he saw including the control to activate the door, which was delaying the trip and at the same time putting the child's life at risk, but why? What was she doing there? How do I board the ship? The cap was super scared because they were about to go through the warp door and he knew the risk that the son implied that he was as if nothing was running from one side to the other without knowing what was happening, Sam without thinking 2 times decided to go to take his son without thinking about how risky it was, since if something went wrong they could easily get injured or worse still disappear due to a failure in the door system, when he finally manages to take his son Sam he hears screams coming from from the lower part of the ship, for which he decided to go see leaving his son with Mink who promised to take care of him with his life, the warp door was having failures which worried them a lot since they did not want what an incident will happen, Mink told Sam to hurry so they could find a way to leave safely, so the cap ran to find out who was yelling, when Sam arrived at the place he started shouting "WHO IS HERE" when he said this he heard a female voice that it came from s u right which said "SAM I AM CRISTINA" Sam was shocked when he realized that his wife was locked in the room, scared he ran to look for her he tried to open the door but it was locked and could not be opened, he told his wife to wait while he was looking to open the door, meanwhile Mink and his son were worried since it had taken a long time and Mink knew that it was a matter of time before the warp door will start the upload process again and when that happens Sam's life would be in danger.
Sam ran throughout the ship looking for something with which he could open the room where Cristina was, until he finally found something, a metal tube with which he could break the door, he quickly went to help his wife, he tried several times to break the door. door but it did not work.
Mink and the little son of Sam were scared, suddenly flashes of light began to come out of the portal and strange noises were heard which scared the little boy, Mink tried to calm him but could not and the boy ran away, Mink could not stop him, the door It started to light up and Mink still had no traces of the cap, he thought he would never see him again and he was also thinking about what Hiba will say when he will ask him about his son, between fear and nostalgia he decided to go find Sam before he trip will start again.
On the other hand Sam kept trying to watch him get his wife out of the room before it's too late, which was difficult since the door was too strong to knock her down, Sam was terrified to think that if he couldn't get her out. Cristina she would die, while he thought Mink appeared, that when he saw that Sam was fine he could have a calm breath even for a moment, the cap when seeing that Mink was alone asked him where he had left his son, for which He told him what had happened and why the child was not with him, Sam was saddened because he knew that he would not see the child again because the ship was too big and there were parts where it was very dangerous to enter, so He decided to help his wife out of the room because he did not want to lose her too, Mink and he did everything possible to get her out but they could not, the portal was about to take them to another place and if they were not in the security area before that happens would be its end for sure, Sam's wife told them to leave without her so that even if they could survive, but Mink and Sam refused to leave her there, she kept insisting and insisting until I convinced them, and through tears they parted.
Sam and Mink ran to the security area, when they got there it was a matter of time for the warp door to fully lock them up.
Upon reaching their destination they sought help to open the door of the room where Sam's wife was and they also sent some people to look for their son to at least see him for the last time, when they managed to get his wife out of the place they quickly took her to the nearest hospital but unfortunately it was too late, some time later they found the body of the son of Sam, that day Sam got angry with himself because he knew he could avoid all that but he didn't.
He had lost the most important thing he had, "his family"
Now in the present Sam continues with that feeling of guilt, but he learned the lesson, he and Mink learned to be more careful with their actions, they learned to value the most important things such as family and now every time they take a trip first they do a complete overhaul of the ship.
Mink and Sam are still the best of friends and that won't change no matter what.
What would you have done in Sam's place?
Greetings!! Until next time
