Xadia, Ivy, Tyson, Jasmine and Jake had been transported to a world not of their own, the place was covered in red darkness, it was the night time of the world and thanks to Jasmine they had quickly come up with a plan to get back to their world.
They just had to spend the night in the eerie darkness of the world. They had no idea of the creatures in this world, so they couldn't wonder the night. And just like Jasmine had solved the first problem concerning their return to their world, she had come up with a solution to their inevitable shelter problem.
It was as if she was prepared for everything, and that was owing to her precocious vast mind. She figured out the secret that Ivy had entrusted solely to Xadia, due to the situation both of them were in, they needed each other, but Jasmine cracked that case.
What was most precocious of her was her invention, a satellite network that ran on atmospheric weather conditions, it didn't need to leave the planet to work. And It didn't need a source of power to operate, just the weather that resided in an environment.
If it was in Xadia's era, this invention was enough for an individual to earn an interesting amount of wealth and money. That, or the person would be targeted to expand his/her technology in dangerous areas, like affecting the economic network of the world. Well that was what Xadia would have thought, a series of movies he had watched induced that thought.
As if that wasn't enough a mini dome building was materialized for their shelter problem. The exterior design looked like the dome buildings in their school, maybe the school building influenced her design of the dome tent, but that was only the exterior.
There was a wall structure splitting the dome into two sides, the floor had terminal designs that were glowing white, a design induced by Jasmine love for codes. On the first side was a scorpion pod chair, it had an upper tail that would be drawn down to activate the sleep mode. It was in front of a different type of holotop. One that was made by Jasmine herself, it was wider than the normal one and it's terminal was different, it completely ran on program codes.
Three steps away from it was a glowing shelf for books and building materials, and they were label according to their intended uses. Beside the shelf was a diagnostic transparent liquid capsule, and it had pipes running from the inside to the outside that connected to a terminal port.
There was door that connected to the second side of the dome. The second side had the same terminal floor design, there was two table like structures that was separated one meter away from each other.
One of the table like structures had a body tube that looks like the two objective nosepieces of a Microsoft and it was connected from the side of the table. It had a storage compartment that could be changed on a side holographic screen from freeze, cold, warm and hot, it also had a grill setting, it was practically made for a kitchenette.
On the other structure was construction table setting, and it looked a lot like Ivy's mom construction table, only that this one had both settings of Ivy's mom construction tables except the fiberglass cylindrical tube. On the side of the wall structure was an opaque black glass, and one could tell it was for bathing.
The set up was built for a one person occupance, but now it was slightly reorganized. There was now four sleeping scorpion pods in the first section of the dome, and they were occupied except one.
A beep sound resonated in the pod as it slowly lifted into a vertical position. Xadia slowly opened his eyes he then moved his hand to a button on in the pod, pressing on it, the pods cover slowly open, and he covered his eyes due to the bright lighting of the room.
Adjusting to the ray of light Xadia could see Ivy in a lotus position in front of the book shelf, and he could tell she was cultivating.The other pods in the room then began to open.
Tyson scrubbed his eyes and yawned, "Good morning Ellie". He said.
"Uhm, Ellie's not here". Xadia informed.
"Oh we're still here". Tyson sighed.
Tyson's eyes darted towards Ivy.
"Is she cultivating in here, she must have some crazy concentration".
"She is gonna transport us back, that's smart she needs to grow her energy, so let's not disturb her". Jasmine rubbed her glass in her uniform, she then fixed it to her eyes.
"That's not necessary, the energy in this place is making it had to concentrate". Ivy alighted from the floor.
"How long have you been up". Jasmine asked.
"I don't know one hour I guess, can't tell". She replied.
*Blurp* *blurp*. A sound could be heard as a pod opened, and it was Jake's stomach. He touched his belly and innocently looked at them with a funny face.
"I think we forgot about food". Ivy claimed.
"I have some currell packs, it's not much so we might have to ration it". Xadia explained.
"How much do you have". Jasmine asked.
Xadia then pointed his hands to the ground and out came all his currell packs, it was twenty one in total.
"One per day should be enough for us, since we don't know how long we're going to be here, we have to be conservative". Jasmine informed.
Xadia then placed sixteen currell packs back in to the bracelet, leaving five for them to consume. Jake then picked up a pack.
"Uhm, water?". Jake asked.
"Let's go to the other room". Jasmine said as she picked up her own pack, and the others followed.
She then led them to the second room and we t straight to the kitchen like table structure. Pressing on the body type pipe, a stream of water poured to her currell container and it soon expanded.
The group did the same, and they moved back to their pods to eat, it was now in a chair like position. Jake springly consumed his pack like someone who had been starving for days, and the others followed after.
"Can we check the satellite thingy now". Jake asked.
"Oh yeah, I haven't checked it". Jasmine said has she twirled her scorpion chair to face the holotop.
She began to type in codes, and a new interface could be seen on the screen, it displayed an animation of the satellite in scale of the planets atmospheric layers. It has an altitude of fifty degrees, and a distance of fourteen points five kilometer high.
Another interface was opened and a percentage graph animation could be seen and it read thirty percentage to completion.
"The atmosphere here is dense and it's taking more than I expected for the completion of the scan, it would take a few days to complete.
"A few days, we're gonna wait for days, we would run out of currell packs, what would we take when it feels". Jake complained.
Ivy glanced at Jake and she felt like he didn't care about anything else, except that he took something to satisfy his appetite until their departure, he was only concerned about that.
"We'd have to look for a source of food here, the creatures here would make a good food". Jasmine explained.
"You want us to eat creatures like that, you saw that tree, it would be inedible for consumption". Tyson yammered.
"We need not worry about that, we can find a creature with similar nutrients as the food we eat, just the nutrients would be enough for me to print a currell pack in the kitchen table top". Jasmine cemented.
"Printing of food, I've never heard of that". Jake commented.
"I also haven't heard of that". Xadia said.
There were a lot he didn't completely know about the new era, so he would be curious of this new information.
"All the food we eat are made from certain nutrients and minerals, it can be artificially generated". She replied.
And since we have a lot of time to wait on, why don't we explore this place a bit, study it structures creature and landscape. There's a lake beneath this hill, I'd like for us to purify it, so that can be the first place to check out.
"You guys can go, I want to continue cultivating, I just need to concentrate more so I can refine my energy". Ivy informed.
"In that case, let's go boys". Jasmine smiled.
They looked at her uncomfortably.
'Well that was cringe and embarrassing '. Xadia thought.
'She's not like this in class, is she excited about our situation, maybe she loves adventures, and this is a situation not short of adventures and exploration, this is her home'. Jake enlightened himself.
She then went to the shelf and brought four jog like containers, she then handed it to all of them.
"Let's go". She commanded.
