A few hours before the crash.
Somewhere in the unknown part Atlas sector.
In the middle of the space.
a spark appears.
As the spark started to materialize, It was as loud as the thunder itself resonating in the space
Created its structure out of thin air and formed quickly like atoms when combined into metals as textures turn rough and solidified into similar to a stargate however, it's small compared to its original.
When the form is completed, the spark and light move to the center expanding in the shape of a Circle that extends to its borderline resulting in creating a portal of another dimension with unknown space and time
It was known [WARP GATE]...
In the middle of the warp gate, a single ship appears from inside the pool of light as the vessel moves away due to the gravitational force.
As the vessel got off the gate's inertia, it switched into thrusters, The warp gate started to break down as light energy compressed within inside and exploded
Operation: The ship's system got hit by a high electromagnetic explosion It's recommended to switch to manual piloting, I repeat–
"hah! It seems this bad luck struck again, System! Scan for nearby planets and activate the Emergency Protocol 2-1-1 asap", The mysterious woman forces her hand guiding on the safe course despite her deep wounds from a single slash attack...
Operator: Activate Emergency Protocol 2-1-1...Completed...Scanning nearby planets within range of 2000...Scan Complete...
It flashed the screen the information given to her but the info given.
"No way! I can't believe this it's impossible", The mysterious woman was speechless but regained composure.
"Alright system! Move to this planet's coordinates and land now", The mysterious woman said and done only by luck awaits her.
Operator: Affirmative...Activating Thrusters...Initiate Emergency Warp Jump...
As the vessel warps immediately and reaches a velocity 10 times the speed of light and enters the planet's atmosphere.
The mysterious woman reminisces about
her past as last moment.
Kissing a young boy who is as brave as he is reckless but also
Courageous as he is leading his crew no matter how dangerous the path, he faces forward.
In her heart wishes to see him one last time...
"In the next life, let's meet together again...
"Yuri..."
The light flashes to her eyes as she braces...
"Miss...", The sound of a girl speaking.
"Miss...wake up...", The sound gets clearer and louder.
"Miss wake up!", Nicole was shaking the woman's shoulder.
"Ahh! Hah hah..", The woman immediately wakes up to see a silver-haired girl with a look of concern.
"Um I'm fine thank you for your concern though ", The woman relaxed as she thanked the girl.
"Don't worry, I am used to it by now", Nicole smiled in relief.
"My name is Nicole Silver"
"Nice to meet you", Nicole Introduced herself waiting for the woman's response...
"Likewise kiddo, I'm Nia, Nia Lochlian", Nia responded with a smile.
"Nia...then I call you Big Sis Nia from now on",
Nicole said brimming with confidence as she got to meet an older sister.
Growl~
Nia's stomach growled.
Nicole stood up giggly and as she made her way to the door
"Since you need energy to recover..."
"I'm gonna get your breakfast", Nicole opened the door and left Nia to rest.
Nia thinks about how a miracle saved her life again as she looks at her wound which was inflicted by her former fiance all stitched up...
Then looks at the window where the same
scenery met that young boy and took him
to the sea of stars...
"I'm back sniff~", Nia closed her eyes wiping her tears as she returned here once again.
Meanwhile—
Yuri and Uncle Brook are in the dockyard along with all the engineers and shipmasters.
Looking and checking at the ship weapon module and operation modules that the woman crashed on with awe in respect...
Ever since they recovered the broken ship along with its parts using the recovery UAV and brought all of it to the dockyard and repaired it despite being the vessel back to operational capabilities it needs the specialized repairs needed for full repairs which they need another planet's help.
"HAHAHAHAHA Yuri boy, this ship is out of this world", Uncle Brook laughed as he was at a loss for words.
"THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!!", Old engineer was enraged as he look at the vessel with a slight of jealousy in it.
"NO I DISAGREE THIS TECH IS REVOLUTIONARY!!!!", The Chief Shipmaster rebuked as he was fired up seeing a new tech.
"HOW THIS PIECE OF CRAP BE MORE ADVANCED THAN OURS HUH!!!!!", Old engineer says angrily as he was jumping at Chief Shipmaster turning into a brawl.
Yuri laughed at the two veterans arguing and brawling while seeing Uncle Brook insisting the veterans calm down.
As everyone calmed down, Yuri looked at the system board monitor to start the ship analysis.
"System! Scan the full diagnostic test on the target ship", Yuri put a crystal hologram device on the machine to collect data.
Operator: Starting Diagnostics...
The mechanic arm equipped with a Scanner laser points at the specific ship.
Operator: Scanning ship's layout...Complete...Scanning Ship's Weapon and Operation Modules...Complete...Running Full Ship Performance Analysis...Complete.
After the machine did its analysis, the data was transferred to the Device that Yuri plugged on.
Yuri pulled out the device and read the results.
" Yuri boy, how is it?", Uncle Brook eagerly for the result.
Even everyone in the dockyard also eager.
"Well...If I word to it...Unique", Yuri put down the device on the table and tapped away the hologram to display.
"Unique, Yuri please elaborate", Uncle Brook was curious about it as he sat down and everyone sat down as well.
"Unique meaning that I would rephrase it's a customize made", Yuri tapped the hologram which popped out the hologram parts of the ship.
"As you can see the modules are very limited to fit inside and tech is advanced but most of the parts are also common that every ship is using", Yuri explained as he gave finer details of each section and answered every question that had been raised.
"So you implying that this ship was made from somewhere!!!", Uncle Brook grins as he looks at the ship.
" Correct but it is something I've seen somewhere before", Yuri said as if remembering the ship itself from his past.
(This ship...Where did I see from...wait)
Yuri recalling the memories, as he deep in thought was shocked like a deer in front of the headlights at the revelation itself.
(No way....no freakin way...I saw this ship in the game I've played in my past life)
Back in his old world when he was in high school.
The most popular retro game that his classmate recommended to him.
The summary is about a young boy who wants to go to space and then meets a woman who just crashed from the sky.
The woman is the launcher that the young boy requested and the boy repaired her ship then both set off to space and the story goes on.
(That woman is the legendary Nia Lochlian from Endless Space Trilogy!!!)
Yuri was speechless.
Everything is solved by the mysterious woman and the ship.
But the most shocking is that he was reborn as that very young boy with the same look and name as him
Even more so as he remembers Kira, the protagonist's little sister is very like Mikasa mindset from certain anime back to his old world is also the very same as well
Talking about surprises.
"Yuri boy, you've seen this before?", Uncle Brook asked.
"Ah!!! No, I'm just thinking stupid hahaha", Yuri was startled as he quickly denied that he knew it from the very beginning.
He also remembers the wound that Nia has from before probably the same wound inflicted by the ex-fiance of in the logos kingdom before the supernova explosion.
"Uncle Brook how is the woman's condition", Yuri was concerned about the mysterious woman that he saved.
"Yuri boy, that woman is tough as nails She will survive", Uncle Brook confidently said with a thumbs up with a grin.
Yuri had a bad feeling seeing Uncle Brook looking like Cupid firing an arrow.
"It seems my boy has grown up Hahaha, His taste in women is as same as mine hahaha", Uncle Brook laughed heartily as he patted Yuri's shoulder he was impressed to see his boy grow into a man.
"THIS PERV OLD MAN!!!! THAT'S UNCALLED FOR AND PLEASE DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSION!!!!", Yuri was embarrassed as he was beet red.
"Ah, Don't be a wimp and grow some MANBEARPANTS!!!!!", Uncle Brook said like his on a mission.
Yuri was shocked.
Wow, even that word exists in this world.
Uncle Brook quickly ordered everyone to keep the information to themselves as he and Yuri going home early.
"Old man what do you think—", Yuri didn't finish a single complete sentence as Uncle Brook grabbed him and dashed toward the surface.
Yuri knows this stupid uncle that once he wants something there's no one to stop him.
Yuri let it go for now.
As both heading home using the Skuttle ship that Uncle Brook uses, Yuri recalls.
Yuri remembers very well the story's plotline in the game which is not the same as this world.
In the game, there are no giant Stargates but only warp gates so the space travel is point to point basis, and travel in between is short which is why the logos Kingdom in the game is the hardcore nemesis that their forces can travel far distance without the help of warp gate.
This world, however, has a Stargate which is used for very distance travel to known and unknown galaxies using an algorithm within spacial quadrants that warp gates can't... Although warp gates exist they are common for travel between planets and sector throughout the Magellanic Cloud.
Talking about being convenient to every
spacefarer.
Both are different in terms of space navigation Although some characters and probably the places between the game and this world are very similar at the same time the general point is not.
Yuri thought so hard that they already arrived.
"Yuri boy, don't think too much of it, Just take it slowly", Uncle Brook said calmly as he slammed his fist on Yuri's head.
"Ow, Okay stop it let's get inside", Yuri takes the hit with bravery despite this being stupid that was is for his uncle's good intentions for him.
Yuri agreed to let things slow and go through a step-by-step process since the information is lacking so it takes time.
Despite him knowing that his uncle's intention is different but still a piece of good advice anyway.
Both got inside where Kira was in the living room waiting.
"Ah, Yuri welcome home", Kira hugged him
"Yep I'm home", Yuri hugged her back.
Uncle Brook grins seeing the scene.
"Wow this place is getting hotter by the day, Welp! this old man go where the woman—", Uncle Brook says as he teasing at them playing Cupid again.
Yuri blushed with embarrassment.
Kira also blushed as she shyly let go of Yuri.
"Ah Kira how's her condition", Yuri asks to quickly change the subject.
"Her vitals are normal", Kira regained composure.
"She with Nicole upstairs in her room", Kira, Yuri, and Uncle Brook go to Nicole's room door.
Yuri opens the door and sees the gray-haired woman talking to Nicole in what looks like a very lively chat.
"Yuri you're back", Nicole first notices run-ups to him.
The woman was surprised when she heard the name she looked up and noticed Yuri looking at her.
which makes her eyes teary as she quickly stands up and runs at Yuri as she hugs him.
"Why are you crying, Miss", Yuri asked with concern as he hugged her back.
"You reminded of him"
"Thanks for saving me and I'm sorry", Nia wiped her tears as she on the bed
"Don't worry, It is normal—", Yuri cuts off himself since he knows the reason why Nia cried when she saw him because, in the game, Nia and Yuri separated as the Supernova exploded.
And Nia never shows up in the latter half.
Which he makes quite pissed.
He is even more pissed off that her ex-fiance survives and wages war against the protagonist during later chapters but not a single comeback for her.
Kira even hugged Nia to comfort which made her cry even more.
After everything calms down everyone introduces themselves except the woman(Nia).
"Thanks for saving me kiddo, I'm Nia, Nia Lochlain", The woman regains her composure as she introduces herself.
Yuri read everyone's mood.
Then he stands up.
This is the moment that he wanted even though is quite late in the uptake.
In the end, there is this saying
(Everyone needs a new start)
"Nia, nice to meet you but let's get to the point shall we", Yuri said confidently as he saw Nia look at him as if she had been waiting all this time.
"Are you the launcher..."
