Guys I received our first mission.It is to research an asteroid in the asteroid belt of our solar system.
(Asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. It contains lot of asteroids.)
But how do we do that?
Look at your S-watch Arjun. We have been provided with a suitable spacecraft for our mission. We should use it.
So who got the highest in the pilot test for spacecraft?
I got 83 out of 100.
Arjun- I got 63
Stella-i got 76
Ruby-i got 81
Brown-i got 97
John-i got 74
Ronny-i got 75
Itsuki-i got 69
Aninda-i got 92
Since Brown got the highest he will be the pilot. So let's go to the Spaceport to look at the spacecraft.
(Spaceport is place for docking the spacecrafts. Basic model Spacecrafts are given for missions for trainnes at Spaceport.)
Wait, is that it?
What do you mean by that, Ruby?
Don't you think we need a stratedy for the mission?
It's just, we need to scan a piece of an asteroid. What strategy do we need?
You are so gullible.
See there are so many asteroids in the asteroid belt. So first we need a proper route map an how we are going reach that particular asteroid we want to research. Next we need two persons who can aim well. Basic aircraft have two mega photo shooters in them. We need two people who can aim well to operate them. It seems one of us should go outside to collect a piece so that we can bring it here to submit it.So scientists here can do a thorough research.If it's a an asteroid where the scanner of a basic spacecraft can give all the information,then they would not even give a mission like this. So it seems one of us should go out and collect a piece of asteroid.We also need to buy equipment like photon guns to shoot small asteroids if they came towards us if we came outside of our spacecraft.
Don't you think as a learder you should be more thoughtful.
Hey. You are crossing the line.
Stop Arjun.She is right. Sorry I will be more careful from now on.
Now I want to know who got the highest in shooting test?
I got 76.
Ruby-i got 81
Stella-i got 99
Arjun-i got 90
Brown-i got 82
Aninda-i got 94
JJohn-i got 81
Ronny-i got 71
Itsuki-i got 100
It's incredible I have never heard someone to get full on shooting test I heard last year 96 was the highest. Both Stella and itsuki are incredible.
Thank you Aninda.
Your welcome Stella.
Okay let's divide our work.
Stella and Itsuki you both buy photon guns for the entire team.
Me and Brown will go and check our spacecraft.
Ruby and Arjun you both plan for perfect route map for our journey.
John and Ronny you both think about other necessary items and buy them. Our dead line is three days. So let's meet tomorrow morning at 7am at spaceport.
Is that clear?
Yes captain.
(Next day at the Spaceport.)
So everyone gathered.
Stella and itsuki where are the photon guns?
Here you go.These are the best photon guns in our mission budget.
Model-109 Photon guns.
They cannot penetrate well. But photon emission in them is so wide so they can brake asteroids upto 1m radius and they can atleast give a push to a 5m radius asteroid.
Now Ruby and Arjun did you prepared the route map.
Ruby-Yeah I did it.
Arjun- hey I did helped you a little.
Stop with our debate and explain it.
Yes captain.
If we travel at aspeed of 1A.U per day speed we can reach the destiny at 2pm tomorrow.
And look in your S-watch I mailed our route map in our group you can connect it to the spacecraft system.
(A.U means astronomical units. It is a distance parameter used to calculate distance is spce.)
Good.
John and Ronny did you brought the necessary items.
Yes captain.
We will show them to you.
No, there is not enough time for us.
According to my calculations we should start in about 10min so that we would be not affected by gravitational pull of Phobos.
John-what is phobos Ruby?
It is a moon of Mars. It is irregular in shape and may eventually crashes Mars due to it's spiral rotation. We will be travelling close to the Phobos but not as close so that we can avoid it's gravitational pull.
But can a moon gravitational pull could really effect our spacecraft since we are going at so much speed?
It's not too much but it can have a little effect. You can say almost negligible but still we should be careful captain.
Brown is our spacecraft ready to aboard?
Yes captain. It is ready to go anytime.
Everybody hurry inside the spacecraft.
(All entered the space craft.)
(The spacecraft is about launch. 5..4...3..2..1)
(Spacecraft successfully launched and they are flying towards outside of the earth.)
(After they escaped the exosphere of Earth.)
Wow. So this is what Earth look from space amazing!
Did you like it Stella?
Yes captain.
Stop with the captain. It is exhausting.
No,no you are the captain. I like to call you captain.
(Stella laughing.)
Captain. Can you stop flirting and now look at necessary items they brought.
Yes Ruby.
John bring them.
(Mini oxygen bag, walkie-talkie, chips, biscuits, water bag.)
What do you think we came here for? Do you think it's some kind of kids party? Only the mini oxygen bag is useful remaining all are trash. We can communicate with our spacesuit we don't need those toys.
You are useless.
Sorry Ruby.
Hey Ruby don't be harsh on them. Its their first mission.
You too captain. If you are too lenient to your teammates you may loose your respect and right to command. So start being a captain.
I am confiscating these party items. Don't think you can enjoy with these snacks and this toy.
(Ruby left.)
Don't be down. She said all that for our own good.
We are sad not because she scold us. I think she will eat all those snacks without leaving anything for us.
(Indra's inner voice:She did right thing to scold them.but why does she have to be harsh with me too? )
(Next day at 12pm.)
Now we are near the asteroid belt. In about 2hours we are gonna reach our destination.
Brown slow down in about 10min and cross those 2asteroids which will appear before us.Then go in (57, 72) xz plane.
Stella and itsuki you both shoot at the 8asteroids which will appear after we crossed the 2asteroids then if we go (66, 43)
in zy plane we will reach our asteroid.
(Everything went according to the plan and they reached the destination.)
Ok I will go outside to bring the piece of asteroid.
No captain. I will go. I can do these stuff better.
But it can be dangerous.
What are you talking about we are all trained to do these stuff? By any chance are you mocking me because I am a B-class.
No. That's not it.Ok you can go but be careful.
Sure.I will.
(Ruby went outside by wearing the spacesuit. She also made sure her connetion with spacecraft is good by using safety tether.)
(Safety tether is a rope like object used by astronauts when they are going outside of their spacecraft.)
Yeah, I know I can do this. I collected a piece.
(Asteroid started shaking.)
What is happening? Why is it shaking?
(Suddenly Ruby was pushed back by an unknown force from the asteroid and the safety tether was torn.)
(She was flown away from the spacecraft.)
Everyone-RUBYYYYYY...
