Chapter 3 - The Galaxy is big for sure

"up.... Wake up kid!"

North woke up inside of a Cargo Ship, and there were crewmates confused about how a child was in the storage. Aside of all of them uneasy, the Young Boy was calm...

Yawning and standing up, it appeared that it was just another normal day. Confused, they asked about how he entered in the ship.

[North] "I entered in that huge gate right there."

He entered in the ship when they launched Miner Boats to extract gas from meteors, the airlock door is only open to launch Miner Boats or to dispatch cargo... Confused by the abnormal answer, they questioned him again, but North gave the same answer.

They calmed down, and just started to go back to their tasks and routine. Everything was normal, except that there was a child with a strange orb walking around.

[North]- "What is it?"

[Crewmate]- "A scanner...."

[North]- "What do you do with that scanner?"

[Crewmate]- "I scan things, like... I check if there is something missing."

[North]- "That is cool, what a fun job."

The crew slowly started to familiarize with his presence, and soon they were talking to him as if he was a crewmate too. North indeed has a good charm. Then suddenly a alarm rings, and the crewmates walked to check it.

It was a Hullbreaker Wanderer... Or Space Wanderer. Curious about the mysterious creature, North asked about it;

[Crewmate]- "It is a Space Wanderer. It is a alien that lives in the space... It eats the gas from meteors and generally make their nest in the same meteors."

[North]- "So why the alarm? Is it trying to take the gas?"

[The captain]- "It only eats the gas inside the meteors, not the extracted one. The alarm is because he can break our hull and deal massive damage towards our ship."

[Crewmate]- "It generally flies in a straight line, but it can become really angry if we get in his way."

[North]- "So if we don't bother him, he will not attack? By the way... How can you say that it is male?"

[Crewmate]- "The male Space Wanderer have pedipalps, and have that crown, but the female have horns and bigger claws."

[North]- "Oooohhh... I see. That is cool."

Leaving the sinister Space Wanderer behind, the crew relaxed, and start to prepare to activate the Hyper Drive. As soon as they activated it North got sick, it is a common event for who is going in Hyper Space for the first time, it is nothing serious and will pass by quickly as soon as they left it.

The ship is going towards the 32th planet of the Empire... The Sonnenlöwe Empire.
