Iscehznut - A Wild Escape

Off the planned trajectory

Nora's POV

    Sitting on the window panel and watching the moon has always been a feeling of peace for me... Every time I feel alone, I sit and stare at this immense beauty before me and all my pain vanish in its brightness. What can I do... I don't have an option other than living alone... I guess that's what my destiny is... You may all think that I'm some kind of drunk lunatic, blabbering something right at the beginning of our lovable author Dhanalakshmi's book... But that's not the case. I'm not a lunatic... but a girl who lost hope in love, destiny, and commitment. Have you ever wondered what love is? Well, none of us think that because we are so 24/7 busy enjoying the moments with our loved ones. That's not wrong but still, you don't right... I was like that, I was a damn normal girl like everyone in this world but what I didn't know was I was naive... I was so naive for this cunning world... People always tend to use us for their own benefits happily using our feelings as a token. Everyone would have experienced what I said because no one realizes this before it's late... So did I... Feeling betrayed is the worst feeling one could ever feel but what if someone you trusted with your life betrayed you... What if you are in a situation that you still believe them to be innocent... What if you can't get over it...and what if you are feeling like ending this terrible pain all at ONCE!

Third POV

"Captain Aiden! That's the meteorite, Khafa", Lucy, Ora Speedy 127 's robotic voice echoed through the walls of the spaceship. Aiden held the controller handle close and studied the huge, unshaped rock a few light-years away from him, through his ora-telescope "So this is our final MISSION!!", Aiden smirked at the meteorite. The gleaming stars and dark energy is surrounding the spaceship, radiating its energy. "Yes, Captain! after blasting this messy stuff,  it's our vacation", Lucy said in excitement as she set the spaceship from automatic mode to manual mode.

            "MANUAL MODE ACTIVATED"

The robotic voice of the prime display notified. Aiden took the right detour and shifted the spaceship's orbit to 9.5 degrees east, racing into the glowing stars and energies. "Lucy, It is my vacation, and when did inbuilt robots like you start celebrating vacations?" He asked flying through the vacuum of space to Khafa along the orbit of the Red Lava galaxy. "Will you spend your vacation alone without me, Captain?", Aiden smiled at Lucy's offensive question. "Of course not, you're my babe and what will I do without you.." Aiden said and made a quick deviation from an approaching asteroid. "So it's officially my vacation too!", Lucy's robotic sound echoed all over the craft. "Is the missile 014 all set for the launching, Lucy?" Aiden asked as he went through the manual of the missile 014. Lucy verified its charge, fuel, and its machinery components in the digital screen before him." FUEL 98% Check! Charge 1012C Check! All the components are damage free, Check! And, do you know how it operates, Captain?", Aiden raised his head from reading the book in his hand. "Lucy, you are doubting the best mission expert of Orano?", he asked her with his raised eyebrow, "Captain, people who know how the missile works, won't go through the manual at the last moment", Lucy said with a chuckle. "Please Captain, I'm so young to die, so don't smash me anywhere during this mission", She stated in a playful tone. "Argh! Lucy, who the hell programmed you with such sarcasm", he muttered with an annoyed face. All the gleaming stars and cosmos passed behind in a blink of an eye as he accelerated the ship at full speed. "I heard that, Captain, back to the work! The missile is all set for ejection, it has to be manually set to the angular inclination, and it's under the stroke of your fingers", Lucy filled him with the essential details. He closed and tossed the manual to the object stand. 

            "AN INCOMING CONNECTION!"

"Captain, we're getting an incoming connection from the Orano Space Control Board", Lucy notified him and waited for his consent. "Connect to the display, it must be President Aldric William", he said and Lucy connected the incoming signal to the primary display. It glowed with the face of a man, who is in his late 40s, he is 5'5 with brown hair. The man was dressed in a red suit and had the looks of a higher official. "Hi! Captain Aiden Jack, how is everything going there?", the serious voice of the man on the other end fills the air of the ship. "Hello President Aldric, everything is perfect here, I have spotted Khafa and the missile is all set for ejection.", he said. "Aiden, we have a change in the sketch and our researchers have something to inform you.", he said in a very serious and intense tone. "What is it? Any problem there?", Aiden stared at him in confusion, when Ora space lab's primary researchers joined the display. Both of them were in their uniform and they had a tab in their hand."Aiden, there is a prob..." 

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!

            "SIGNAL DISCONNECTED!!!"

The robotic voice of the display informed him. "Lucy, wtf just happened now? We are in the range then how can the signal disconnect!!??", Aiden sounded in confusion as he found this strange. "Captain Aiden, give me a second, I'm interpreting the data", she began to run a data check in the background, Aiden impatiently tapped on the display and attempted to reconnect. 

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!

            "ERROR! CAN'T CONNECT, INSIGNIFICANT RANGE!"

The error is ringed by the display’s robotic voice. Aiden became tense seeing the error message and began to check his location and range data. "Captain, We are not in the planned range, we lost track as we followed the meteorite’s range movement. The plan intended by the research team is now not resembling the current trajectory motion of Khafa", Lucy explained to him and connected the analyzed data to the primary display. The current trajectory orbit of Khafa was glowing on the display screen, which has moved 20% away from its predicted path. Aiden stares at the display and ran his hand through his hair in worry. “Just tell me where the hell are we!?”, he yelled in irritation. Lucy began to run the data check, as a lot of numbers and codes run on the display. Aiden looked out through the ship’s window and observed the unknown surroundings, slowly everything became evident. The quasars and pulsars began to fade and all that was visible is black. “Captain, here is the interpreted data, and we are now in…”, she was interrupted by Aiden’s firm voice, “Black Zone!”. “Exactly, Captain! We have no time to waste as the old sketch proposed by the team isn’t matching the situation, we need a new one to proceed with the mission, I guess that's what the research team attempted to notify you...”, she explained to him about the current emergency. “We can’t connect to the team, I don’t know what they came to inform, we need a new sketch for the mission within 90 astrominutes, WOAH!!”, he said as he gazed at the screen with an annoyed look. “Captain, a small correction, we just have 9 astrominutes as we lost the previous trajectory, the recent data analysis states that Khafa will hit the Agri satellite in 9 astrominutes”, She presented the data report in the display in front of him. He stared at it with an utter shock. “Great! Just great!”, Aiden threw his manual sketch to the floor and sat on the control chair, he caught the handle close.

Meanwhile here in the Orano Space Control Board, the control researchers were tapping vigorously on the keys as they tried to connect the Ora Speedy 127. “President, we lost connection with them and we can’t get hold of them as they’re inside the Black Zone!”, a man’s voice, sitting in front of the computer, in the control room filled the room. “What!!??”, the president exclaimed with a startled reaction on his face. The Khafa researchers approached him, “President, Aiden doesn’t know about the trajectory’s sudden change and the new dimensions. We just have 9 astrominutes left for the collision of Khafa with our Agri satellite. We can’t connect them as they are in the Black Zone, this mission is gonna be a failure…” the research professor, Oliver explained with a concerned face. The president patted on his shoulder and smiled at him. “We might have not informed Aiden about this, but he would have surely figured out about it, I know about him. He is the best for a reason, and I have faith, this mission is gonna be a massive success!”, President encouraged everybody as he very well knew about Aiden and his expert skills. “Just continue to follow Khafa and his track, let’s hope for the best.”, he said with a positive smile on his face, all the people in the room had a hopeful smile on their lips. 

In the Ora Speedy 127, Aiden noted the trajectory data and sent the signal to Lucy for further analysis. “Lucy, analyze these and get me the report, I want the speed, acceleration velocity, accurate time, and angular dimension for the missile. The rest I’ll handle”, he instructed Lucy as he fed the data into her drive. He grabbed his tab and started equating a few terms and painted a new sketch. Lucy presented the report on the prime screen, “The report is displayed, Captain. We have just 6 astrominutes left!”, she said and he looked at her in confusion. “Shouldn’t it be 7.5 astrominutes?”, he questioned her in a doubted tone. The ship was set in manual, it slowed down as the targetted orbit was reached, it was full of black energy which engulfs ships into it. “We are in the Black Zone, Captain, and we have to get out of it in less than 1.5 astrominutes. I added to it so we will leave the Black Zone in one piece.”, she explained to him, he nodded with a smile on his face. “What would I do without you, Lucy?”, he said and grabbed the controller handle and changed the acceleration to manual handling.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“What is that f***ng sound?”, Aiden asked and checked the surface view of the ship, his eyes widen in shock looking at those colossal burning asteroids which are approaching him. “Captain, the burning hydrogen asteroids are hitting the ships, you have to drive it manually to escape the sucking pull of the Black Zone and these rocks.”, she said and Aiden heaved a deep sigh. “Ah! Another one is added to our problem list!”, he roars the manual engine and dodges a few rocks, and moved ahead in full acceleration. He gazed at his tab which glowed with the new sketch, he connected it to the main display. “Lucy, can you adjust missile 041’s inbuilt details?”, he asked her and continue to dodge and move from the burning asteroid rocks. “Yes, Captain! Just tell me the details and I can fix them in no time”, she said and opened the missile’s inbuilt directory in the secondary display. “Great, Change the Velocity to 1256 ms-1, inner acceleration to 6059 ms-2, and the explosion time to 2.37 astrominutes. Fix the missile’s angle to 85-degree astroeast and 76.3 degrees astronorth and set for ejection”, Aiden said and closed the sketch from the main screen. “Captain, are you sure with the explosion time? This means you have to ride at your fullest”, she asked him and waited for his consent. “Yes, Lucy! Conclude the data and get ready for a blasting drive. Let's finish this fu**** mission and enjoy our vacation, shall we?” Aiden smirked and accelerated his baby at the full pace.

SUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPP!!

The ship flew at its maximum speed. Many burning asteroids approached the ship and he dodges it in his expert style. After a few light-years of travel, he stopped in front of the huge meteorite, Khafa. He observed it for a micro-astrosecond and then checked the missile status and ejection angle." Wow, this is really big, isn't it, Captain?”, Lucy exclaimed at the huge meteorite that is all to be blasted. “Yup, really big. Fuel checked! Ejection angle checked! Speed and velocity checked! All set for ejection”, Aiden said and looked at the huge meteorite which is so close to hitting the Agri satellite. “Captain, we have no time to admire it, just 3.5 astrominutes left!!”, she reminded Aiden. "I got this!", Aiden said confidently, he aimed the missile at the meteorite at the calculation angular dimension. he observed the meteorite which was whirling just at the peak of the missile. and…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
