The six flying cars flew to the base camp where the aliens were staying. They glided to the entery gate and hovered a few centimeters above ground so that all the passengers could get off.
"Come on everyone, please wait at the enterance and let me check if we are all here," said Sherpa.
Aarti took the children to the enterance date where Sherpa was waitng to do a head count.
Someone had come from inside the building and taken their bags out of the last car.
"Sherpa Sir... don't forget to count yourself," said Christina.
All the others burst out into laughter, they found it funny. The guards were also smiling after trying to keep a straight face.
Sherpa started counting after telling everyone to keep quiet.
Eight children, Aarti and myself, that makes it 10 heads and ofcourse the 50 Orbs. One of the Orbs please do a head count of all the Orbs, Hope no Orb has been left behind?
Zoya could communicate with the Orbs and conveyed the message to the Orbs. The message was sent telepathically and received and a reply communicated to Zoya that too telepathically that all the 50 Orbs were present.
.As they went into the building, they were received by the Crocodile race people i.e., Ken, the captain of the ship and Guy the computer expert who communicated with other races. The Crocodile race persons were very happy to receive the Earthlings and Aarti, from the Magical world. Aarti would be the first person from the Magical World to visit their world on Titan after centuries.
Guy was happy for another reason. He would get to know Tania better on Titan as he would get some time to get to know her well. He had already made up his mind to marry this pretty girl before she was whisked away by another suitor. He felt they were connected from the past, like twin souls.
"We will be boarding the spaceship shortly," Ken told everyone and added, "Your bags are being put on the spaceship."
"After we energise, and leave the atmosphere of the Magical World, it will take us an hour to dock into the mother ship." He carried on with his monologue.
After that we will move at great speed," he continued, "But I am Sorry, I am not allowed to tell you the speed we will be travelling at, but it is almost near the speed of light."
Seeing the questioning glances, he responded, "Noooo..., Earthlings are still not aware about this speed. They still think it is imposible."
"Our scientists further developed on the basics that they had learned from Earthlings, thousands of years ago."
"But civilizations on Earth are always at war for land and other petty things, hence, the scientists there have not left any important records for the coming generations."
"Whatever is available is in ancient texts like Sanskrit, that too in some sort of code, which is very difficult to decipher."
Suddenly, a loud siren was heard throughout the building.
The other two Titans, Aan and Tab, came out from a nearby room. Aan was the second in command and Tab managed the Engines of the spaceship.
"This siren is to inform that the spaceship is ready for boarding. Everyone follow me and Aan my vice captain. The rest of our team comprising Tab and Guy will follow at the end."
Ken lead them to a space ship which looked like a disc but was slightly angular also.
Goodbyes were said to the officials of the Magical World and promise given to bring the Earthlings back within 15-20 days.
There was a staircase that looked like a draw bridge which Ken and Aan ascended followed by the Sherpa and the 8 children as well as Aarti from the Magical World. The rear was made up of the 50 Orbs which floated into the ship. Right at the end, following the Orbs were the other two Titans, Tab and Guy.
The 4 Titans took their positions behind their respected computers. It reminded one of Star Trek and the seating arrangement at the cockpit.
There were spare seats and Ken gestured to Sherpa to make everyone comfortable. The staircase was drawn inwards through a system of buttons by Gut. The staircase was just the wall of the spaceship on the outerside and ridges of the staircase could be seen on the innerside.
The Earthlings and Aarti made themselves comfortable. They were asked to hold fast to the horizontal pole. The horizontal pole ran the entire circular length of the ship and was attached to the floor of the ship with vertical bars at regular intervals.
Ken gave the command to take off and the spaceship headed in a vertical ascend straight for the gap in the fake atomosphere. The aperture had been widened by the scientists operating the machinery in the mountain of the Magical World.
The Day sky and the Night sky could be clearly seen by the Earthlings as well as Aarti through the uncovered window panes. The exterior shield that covered the window pane had been uncovered all around to get a better view all around the outside.
Surprisingly, the space ship did not make too much noise. Humming of the engines was all that could be heard. It was not like the noise made by the aeroplances, helicopters etc made while in flight or while taking off or landing.
Once the left the half day and half night atmosphere of the Magical World, the apperture was closed behind them. Understandable, no ship could enter through such a tiny gap in the artifical atmosphere.
After moving on straight for a few minutes, the spaceship did a left turn and there in front was a huge spaceship. The one in which they were seated was just like a speck of dust compared to this huge spaceship.
Ken grinned at the expression of the faces of the Earthlings upon seeing the mother ship. Guy literally started to laugh.
"Sorry, we did not mean to be rude,"he replied and added,"We found the surprised expession on your faces beyond our imagination."
"It is alright," Sherpa said and added,"You see, we do have space labs in space outside the normal usable atmosphere, where mankind lives for short durations and do few experiments,."
"But a similar thing that too so huge was beyond our imagination."
"Well, it is like a mini world. There is a huge city, a defence mechanism, family quarters for all persons working on it."
