Chereads / Spider web / Chapter 2 - Launch

Chapter 2 - Launch

In space, we see a futuristic enormous carrier ship colored white, traveling above mars. Johnny, in his mid-40s, wearing a brown jacket and orange shirt tucked inside his jeans. He's at the panel clicking through the sequencing and routine.

They're getting ready to teleport on Earth 2 as Johnny touches his earpiece. Seeing the entire people in cryosleep with them on the other decks of the ship.

"Good evening everyone, hold on to your sleep tank as we are about to teleport to Earth two in the Aster 9, ETA seven minutes," he announces.

Johnny taps his earpiece again as he stands and walks to Gordon, mid-'40s wearing a green sweater with his sweatpants and a dog tag around his neck. Typing some code on his keyboard.

"Fuel set brah?" Johnny asked.

"Yes, it's all full and ready to burn captain," Gordon replied.

"Great!" Johnny said.

Johnny walks to Val, in her late 20s, wearing a green shirt paired with black jeans, adjusting the route on the map. Gordon stands and joins them.

"So Val, how many years are we looking to?" Johnny asked.

"I've created a fresh path that takes us there faster and safer with no asteroid debris. Should take us about 10 years, but only a day here," she replied.

"That's good Val, we will score some easy money," Johnny said.

"Oh yeah," Gordon replied.

The station door opens and Luke, in his mid-30s, comes in wearing a green jacket and shirt with cargo pants on with a spider tattoo behind his neck.

"Wonderful news, Luke?" Johnny asked.

"Oh yeah, the emergency generators should be fine and the pipes are now cold and ready," Luke replied.

"Great, so let's get in and give the wheel to Hal," Johnny said.

Hal, an artificially intelligent computer capable of driving a spaceship as the people are in cryosleep with a man's voice.

"Don't worry Captain, I got the wheel," Hal said.

The team is getting in their tanks as it closes and special Egyptian fluid covering their entire body. They close their eyes and sleep. The ship charges up in space and produces light beams as it teleports its way into brightness to the stars.

Then, red lights are on as Johnny's tank opens. He's looking like he woke up on the wrong side of the bed as he wipes his eyes. He looks and sees a system error blinking on the screen beside him. He walks to the window and sees a bigger futuristic white ship shaped like a boomerang outside.

"Genesis," he said.

Shocked in the sights he's seeing with his two hands against the window.
