Verseship
Chapter 1:
Space. A great expanse. With all the mysteries it holds.
"If I told you this story, would you believe me? Would I believe me? It all depends on what you know, I guess. Space, they said it is full of mysteries. Heh, I guess that makes us one of them to someone. This is probably useless, but I should reco....".
"Are you really thinking of doing this?".
A boy, around 11 years old, wearing a red t shirt, red and white cross striped pajama pants, with brown hair and brown eyes, stood at the huge, open metallic doorway in the observation room to the hallway. He faced an older boy, who appeared to have some resemblance to him, and looked about 17. He was wearing sneakers, jeans, a brown long sleeve shirt, and was holding some sort of orb with a glowing yellow light. He pressed down on a section, as if it were a button, and then released soon after, and the light turned green.
The older boy looked at the younger one, and asked "What are you doing out of bed? It's past your bed time....".
The younger boy, without realizing it, formed a fist in his hand. The older boy, realizing what he said, but more importantly how he said it, quickly kneeled down and looked him in the eye. "You okay?". He momentairily looked down, feeling sorry, but the younger boy said "No. It's not your fault. It THEIR fault. The shock is just healing is all. We need you to be strong.....Captain".
The older boy cheered up slightly. "My brave engineer, your stronger then me with this...maybe They should have made you Captain". The older boy helped cheer his brother up, then standing up. In truth, he did need to be strong. They both did. The whole crew did. He was Captain though, and he needed to be the strongest, or so he guessed. Truth was, he was not used to being called Captain. He had technically been captain for only a week. He woke up with all the others, on this strange ship. Each and every room they lived in from either their current or last home had been reconstructed, or moved. Everything was the same, down to all the secrets. The interiors were exactly like from their houses, maybe even it was taken from them when They took them. None of them knew. They just woke up in the ship, not knowing how they got there, in their rooms. The only noticeable thing different about them was slight increased brain activity, and the knowledge of parts of the ship.
There were quite a few of them. The older boy, Connor Harrow, had the knowledge of flying the ship, being Captain, as well as a few generic things about the ships different areas, and various details about each member of the crew. The ship also always responded to him as Captain, as well as the AI. The A.I. was called Handy, but they usually just call it "It", on account that it tried to kill them all at first. However, they managed to stop that, and disconnected him from everything it could use to kill them.
Then, there was Ryan Harrow, his brother. He received the knowledge of Engineering, essentially becoming The Engineer of the group. Then there was Alice Beignhurst, a blond, blue eyed, German girl, around 16, who received the medical knowledge and how to use the medical equipment. There is also Ben Frank, about 37 years old, blond hair, brown eyes, former prisoner of the United States, for mass theft, kidnapping, and bank robbery, who has knowledge of how to use the firearms and weaponry aboard the ship, along with two other, Daniel Ford, 43, British, Jet black hair, green eyes, was British police before being taken, and Carlos, 19, last name not known, even to him, Spanish, orphan, managed to make it into college with soccer, black hair, black eyes.
Then there was Nathaniel Roshovik, Russian, black hair, blue eyes, around 25, ambulance driver, and Jenny Jones, 29, RAF fighter pilot, brown hair, brown eyes, both have the knowledge of how to fly the "Beatles", which is what they have been calling the fighters/gunships, with some weapons. And then there was Lauren Lu, asian, unknown specifics, around 33, in charge of agriculture and food production, black hair, black eyes, Ginny Wright, Scottish, ginger, green eyes, calibrates and operates the main defense battery manually, and also calibrates the defenses/main cannon, 9 years old, Ali Ahsad, Iraq, bar tender, 39, black hair, brown eyes, Sensors and communications expert, and Laura Smith, Australian, blond hair, hazel eyes, 28, First Officer (Second in Command), Surfing Teacher.
That's when Ryan Noted "Besides, I cant. The engines are going through a sort of phase in a cycle. I need to check them every 47 minuets.....". That was something that, despite knowing who everyone is and what they can do, he also could not get used to. Ryan working. And having all this knowledge about the ships engineering and such. Though Ryan definently would always like the noise. He hated silence. "So, your using your free time to annoy me?".
"I don't think I am that annoying....".
"And the votes for that category total with one...". They both laughed a bit at that. That's when Connor noted "Either way, I guess it will be wake up time soon.....".
"3 hours...".
"What?! That long. Wow, I thought it was later....."
"Well, I got 41 minuets left before I need to check it again, and the pool is fairly close to the engine room....you know how to reach me.....".
Connor somewhat smiled, now planning to embarrass his brother, if for nothing other then to distract them from their current situation and bring some normalcy to this. He quickly noted "Uh huh, and this doesn't have anything to do with you avoiding the showers?"
"Excuse me if I don't trust alien acidic decontamination showers.....That unless there is an emergency, only come on once every three days".
"Or, your just afraid of everyone seeing you naked....again...."
"Nu uh! Am not!"
"Then strip down and prove it....".
Ryan blushed red, just realizing what he got himself into. "Ummm, no, not today. Nice try though....".
"....Captain's orders...".
" I say we become a democracy!"
"Okay, I am sure the others would like to see...."
"Scratch that. I am just going to go now..."
Ryan turned around and attempted to speedwalk away, but Connor got him by the waiste, and pantsed him. He then picked him up as he tried to squirm free, while Connor gave him a nuggy. They both then accidentally fell down, causing Ryan to fall on top of Connor. They both started laughing as well, and kept laughing for awhile. They needed to laugh. Especially for the long journey ahead.
Connor and Ryan. Two brothers, in a ship full of people they have only met here, looking for a way home, in a mysterious Alien Ship which for all they know, could be human actually.
And they are only getting started.
