Chapter 11:

A New Start

Eliote's Space Exploration


-So Eliote, how did your monthly visit to Kirina went?


-Really well! Kirina is really happy each time I go there!

-She must feel so lonely when you are not with her... Poor little one...

-Mom, she's two times older than our planet...

We are one month after I lost my medal against Kyōki N Gel. Mom finally succeeded to reproduce this famous medal, so I can finally resume my spatial exploration! Mom also took advantage of that, she remade a gem with the DNA of surviving every environment, so Frysta could also join our team! The scientists just discovered the existence of another universe. It has, according to them, fundamental laws that differ from our Universe!

-So Eliote, are you ready to explore this new universe?

-Of course!

-Can I also come?

-Only some scientists, Eliote and those who own the gem with the DNA of surviving every environment can go there, so yes Aye, you can come!

-Thanks a lot!

-Oh, can I also join?

-Are you sure Frysta? We don't know what will be waiting for us there...

-Eliote, you saved me by giving me your tool that you call a «smartphone», I want to be helpful! Oh, and don't forget that I'm also an explorer!

-I suppose these are valid arguments...

-So it's settled, all three of you will be going to this new universe!

Kōri, Eliote, Aye and Frysta are now heading towards another room of the laboratory. Kōri is explaining things.

-I will explain to you how to go there. We go there thanks to a teleporter that we installed in the laboratory. This teleporter will transport you into a spatial station, where a spaceship will be waiting for you. It is really easy to drive so you won't need a driving license! You will be able to teleport back to the laboratory by using any teleporter of the spatial stations, so this won't be a one-way ticket fortunately! These teleporters can only transport you in other teleporters that you already have been to. So, ready to go to this mysterious world?

-Yeah!

-Yes!

-Oh yeah!

Eliote, Aye and Frysta are now in this new universe! How exciting will this new adventure be?

Balung-Liva (バルング · リヴァ) space station. Eliote notices something.

-Hold on, I don't have any signal, and my stellar navigator doesn't work, I was expecting that but still...

-Oh friends! I found the spaceship!

The spaceship is big enough for only 3 people. It looks like every futuristic spaceship you see in any sci-fi work. It's white with some red touches. Aye is the first one to react.

-It is beautiful!

-Let's do this the old fashioned way, without the teleportation of the stellar navigator! Let's go!

The girls are now in space. They see a planet right in front of us, resembling a rocky desert. Eliote already sees some differences from our universe.

-Well that's funny, the space is not black! It's dark blue with a light blue glint... Is this the result of a nebula or is this a feature of this universe?

-Are we landing on this planet?

-Of course!

-Oh, so cool!

They are now flying at low altitude to see the surface of the planet and all its details. As the pilot, Eliote decides where to land.

-I see a structure, let's go there!

They now landed on the planet. It looks like a red rocky desert with some patches of grass, and cacti. The sky is light red.

-Welcome to Urchony (ウルコニ), rocky planet.
Weather. Permament drought.
Remark. Colonised 240 years ago.

Aye is surprised.

-Wait, who just talked?

-Hello, I am Exos (エキソス). I am a spirit that accompanies travelers to give them informations on the planet. I can also convey your thoughts to your friends, so you will be able to talk from a distance and give your positions.

-Ah but that's amazing, especially when there's no signal!

Eliote looks at her phone.

-Wait, but I have signal!

-Maybe it's the tower right there who is sending us some signal?

-The tower that sends us some signal? That's a possibility, but before verifying, I would like to go in the two other buildings right there.

The buildings are little metal refuges. The girls enter the first building. Aye makes a remark

-Here's a table to discuss peacefully!

They now enter the second building. Eliote makes the remark this time.

-There are two beds, and we are three... How are we gonna sleep?

And Frysta asks something.

-What is sleep?

-Seriously Frysta? Sleep means to rest in an unconscious state, we do this at night.

-Oh so I don't sleep! It was never night time back home!

-Ah so problem resolved!

-So, do we go up the tower to have a panorama?

They go up the tower, Aye is the first to talk.

-What a nice view!

-I love the tone of the colors, it's warm!

-Oh that's so different from my planet!

-Hey, something is written here!

«This building is a tower of holographic communication. It allows to connect multiple different universes»

-We have our answer! Eliote, you will be able to call your Mom!

And that's how the adventure starts in this new world!

-See you soon on another planet!
