Chapter 4 - Chapter 3: Late

Five Days later, the Dibits is traveling at 3× light speed to get to Avar on time.

"How fast are we going Beta?" Jeffers asks

"3× light speed Captain" Beta answers

"We're late" Heidi adds

"Beta bump it up to 4× light speed approximately 1 199 169 832 m / s, but no further" Jeffers commands as he knows the dangers of going any faster than that.

"We've been travelling through space for 3 days now. How far away is this bloody planet?" Victoria asks as this was the first time she'd been to this planet.

"We're coming up on it, but the reason Avar is so far away is because Avar is in the center of PA, so it's surrounded by friendly territory." Jeffers answers, Victoria then asks

"Well why is the Planetary Alliance's military three days away on Morza?"

"Because, while Avar is the Capital, Morza is the most important planet since most of the PA's soldiers come from there. So it's important to protect it." Heidi adds.

The Dibits flies through space at such speeds it's yellow paint job causes it to look like a yellow blur soaring through the cosmos. As they get closer to the planet Victoria says "Avar is in sight."

On the scanner Avar looks like a green ball with visible clouds surrounding the planet.

"Scan it." Jeffers command

Victoria scans the planet, the scan comes back and shows that there is twenty Hondras ships and nineteen PA ships all in one area outside of Avar City (The capital of the PA)

"It appears they're waiting on us Captain." Victoria says

"We're about thirty minutes away, so they'll just have to wait." Heidi comments

"If you crank it up to 5× light speed we'd get there in a few minutes." Victoria states

"5× light speed isn't safe." Jeffers says

"It isn't?" Victoria asks

"No, plenty of ships have tried 5× light speed and it ended poorly for all of them." Jeffers says

"Yeah, the USS Recovery went 5× light speed and ripped a hole in space time." Heidi says

"Nice how'd that go for them?" Victoria asks

"It teleported them to the future. The last message they ever sent was a distress signal. Then it was all silence."

"Oh" Victoria says in a saddened state

"But our sister ship the Constellation has done it and survived." Beta adds

"Plot armor I guess."Heidi responds as the USS Constellation is the main ship in the Stellar Odyssey series.

Within thirty minutes the USS Dibits reaches Avar and joins the PA ships on the surface of the planet.

"Alright, Beta, sleb off the bridge" Heidi says

"Can I stay?" Victoria asks

"Oh yeah, you're not from here. Well let me explain, sleb is an insult and I was referring to you when I say bye Victoria." Heidi says

"Oh." Victoria says again saddened as she walks out of the room with Beta.

As they're walking out they meet up with the PA ambassadors, Princess Reya and the Hondras ambassadors.

Victoria is frightened at the sight of the Hondras.

"Excuse us," one of the PA ambassadors says.

They walk past Victoria and Beta and into the bridge.

"I think that was emperor Yahweh."

Beta says

"Who?" Victoria questions

"The emperor of the Hondras empire."

Beta answers

"Oh." Victoria says "So where to now?"

She asks

"I have this guy on the ship, he knows how to have a good time. Wanna come along?" Beta asks

"Ok" Victoria says

Both Beta and Victoria run along to Deck B where they go up to this door. Beta rings the doorbell and the guy who answers is a Urnin. A green humanoid alien from the planet which shares the same name.

Behind him on the couch is a human-like girl with all yellow skin and dark black hair with dark black eyes, she also has a PA uniform on.

"Beta, alright. This, that girl from a different show? He asks

"Yeah this her." Beta says

"Hi my name is Victoria." She says

"Curipher." He says

"And this is my girlfriend Yellow."

Yellow says

"What's up."

"Hello, what are you?" Victoria asks Yellow

"I'm Cazcan, it's a planet not in the PA. But it's so overpopulated that they just ship the younger generations out to other worlds."

"Oh." Victoria says with a hint of sorrow in her voice

"Don't worry about it, I don't feel any animosity towards my people for it. Anyway let's party!" Yellow says

"I thought you'd never ask." Curipher says

He closes the door and says

"Now who wants some Merci?"

He takes out this bong like object

"What's Merci?" Victoria asks

"Merci is this plant that grows on Morza. It gives the user this blissful state of mind and hallucinations. It's so good the Morzans named it Merci after their goddess" Curipher says

"Nice. " Victoria says

They all take hits from the bong that contains the drug Merci, a drug that gives you a Marijuana and LSD like feeling. They sit around for a while just chatting. Until Beta got a message coming through his personal telecomm.

"Constellation to Dibits." says the voice

"Ah man, Dibit to Constellation" Beta asks

"Dibits this is Captain Monroe of the USS Constellation. Where is Captain Jeffers?" The voice says

"He's on the bridge mediating peace" Beta replies

"Send him a message, the USS Alpha is on course for Avar." Captain Monroe says

The USS Alpha is the flagship of the PA fleet and the personal ship of the Admiralty.

Beta is shocked and he gets up from his seat and runs through the ship to the bridge. 

"Hey, wait!" Victoria says as she gives chase.

"Beta what is it?" She asks as she couldn't hear the conversation from the communicator.

Beta eventually makes it to the bridge and bust in interrupting the meeting.

"What is the meaning of this interruption?" Emperor Yahweh says angrily.

"Who is this?" Reya asks

"Beta why are you here?" Jeffers asks

"Turn on the scanner" Beta says urgently

Victoria walks over to the scanner and turns it on reading what it says

"Scanner picks up on the USS Alpha."

"Oh no." Reya says as she puts her hand on her face.

The Holocom then turns on and Admiral Newton appears on screen

"Hello." He speaks
