Episode 1. Beyond the Constellation
When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw a white ceiling with a soft light from the sleep lamp.
I tried to raise my body.
But unlike my mind, my body didn't move in the slightest.
Now my body was sinking deep into the bed.
'What?'
I was so curious about the first phenomenon that I left it as my body led. But in a dark corner by the door over there, something seacommon was coming toward the bed where I was lying.
The figure stood at the end of the bed and crawled up on my legs.
'This is scissor push.'
I felt wonder rather than fear when I first went through scissor push, which I had only heard about in the story.
It was often said that scissors nulim appear when the body becomes fragile after a long workout or when the body is overworked and stressed.
But I was working out every day, so my body was not fragile. And when I was pressed to the scissors, I was told that I had to focus my nerves on my fingertips and feet to get away.
Maybe I had a dizzy dream every day,and it was like this.
The black figure, sitting on my body, looked down into my eyes.
The black figure was a young woman of pale complexion with long hair.
I still looked up at her.
'You're a very beautiful woman.'
Although her complexion was pale and her eyes were dark, her face was a cool beauty.
It's a great place to be.
At that time, a visit was held, and a beautiful silver-haired woman entered.
"Captain."
I opened my mouth and tried to answer, but no voice came out of my mouth.
A pale-skinned young woman with dark hair was still staring at me.
"Come on, get up. We found an enemy ship, Captain."
The silver-haired woman approached the side of the bed hastily.
But I still couldn't say anything.
I was just looking at a woman sitting on my thigh.
"Captain?"
The silver-haired woman grabbed my shoulder and shook it.
At that moment, the woman sitting on my thigh disappeared and my stiffened body was released.
"Oh.... Kolok! …... Spring Hyang."
A turbid voice went out of my mouth, accompanied by a cough as if something had stuck in my neck.
"Have you had a nightmare?"
I wet my thin quilt and got off the bed.
"Nightmare? How do you know a nightmare that you've never dreamed of in your life?"
He was naked out of the quilt, but Chunhyang did not even look up.
Rather, her two eyes were watching my naked body carefully.
"I just guessed the captain's look and body changes."
"That's right. Some beautiful woman was sitting on my thigh and staring at me."
Hmm....
Chun-hyang thought for a moment, then smiled and opened his mouth.
"I think the captain's dissatisfaction was expressed in the subconscious."
I stood still and stared at her, pouring out outrageous words.
And he shook his head and laughed.
Hahahaha...!
"I'm dissatisfied with my desire... Spring Hyang tends to look too funny at me as you're a captain."
I stopped laughing and put my hand against the wall.
Then the wall with his hand brightened, revealing several suits of clothes inside.
"I've never seen the captain so funny."
"No. You're looking funny."
"Absolutely not."
The appearance of a woman in a light joke is so funny that my face is naturally smiling.
"Where is the enemy ship?"
"It's mixed in with a ship and a bunch of asteroids 48,502 km away."
Thrr....
As he changed his clothes and walked out of the hallway, the passing crew raised their hands and saluted him.
Deadpan faces and eyes that didn't even feel mote-like emotions, I ignored their salute.
They do not know the meaning of the salute.
I was just moving on the program.
As we entered the command and control room, we saw the crew working.
"Put it on the screen."
The huge screen installed in the front was working, scared to end my words.
The screen, which was full of black screens, narrowed the distance in an instant, showing the appearance of black asteroids in the distance.
And in those things, a very heterogeneous form appeared on the screen.
The heterogeneous shape was an enemy ship that I pursued for 2,700 hours.
Photo " Plasma cannon ready to fire."
As I gave the order, the crew moved back to my words.
"I'll be ready to fire plasma guns!"
Soon, a cross line was drawn on the screen, and the enemy ship was caught at the point where the vertical and horizontal lines intersected.
I was about to give the order to fire right away.
But then Spring-hyang interjected.
"Captain. I'm sure you're going to raise a problem with this at the top."
All those on that ship were terrorists, who attacked and blew up a passenger ship with 1,500 people on board.
As a result, 1,500 innocent travelers were scattered with the passenger ship in fear of death, becoming the dust of the universe.
I had little mind to capture those terrorists alive.
"Upper? Tell him not to #₹₹@@##( course) Plasma gun fire!"
The firing command fell from my mouth.
"Plasma gun firing!"
Along with the voices of the crew, a bright stream of light flew toward the target on the large screen.
A bright light spread everywhere from the enemy ship, which was then mixed with a group of asteroids, and fizzled out.
As the light disappeared, the screen illuminated an enemy ship with a broken rear engine.
Photo " Plasma gun continuous firing."
I gave the order again, followed by the voices of the crew.
Photo " Plasma gun continuous firing."
Several stalks of white, lurid light shot in succession toward the enemy ship.
The plasma rays, shot in succession, completely smashed the front and upper parts of the enemy ship's command post.
The plasma beam that followed penetrated the enemy ship's side.
The enemy ship exploded everywhere, and the light burst continuously.
Qua Qua Qua Qua Qua! Bang...!
It was outer space, so I could hear the sound of an explosion, but my ears seemed to hear the sound of an enemy ship's explosion.
I watched the remnants of enemy ships scattered everywhere with bright lights.
As I watched the wreckage of the enemy ship colliding with the asteroids, I glanced at it and gave the order.
"Go back. The destination is the earth."
I'm not sure if I'm going to be the only one who is going to be able to do that.
With the sound of a magnificent engine, a huge pillar broke out of the hull.
As ten huge columns escaped from the hull, the bottom of the hull opened up, spewing active volcano-like flames.
Kuung! Thump...!
Ten huge pillars stood down on a thick ceramic floor.
As the active volcano-like flames shrank, the bottom of the hull opened and a metal staircase descended.
I was waiting in the ship, and as soon as the end of the stairs reached the floor, I took a step.
I can't wait to see if I'm going to be able to do that.
As you walked down the metal stairs and left the black ceramic airfield, a green forest spread out.
I turned and looked at the airfield where my ship had descended.
The airfield was lined with a dozen ships, ranging from large ships close to 600 meters in length to small ships a little over 100 meters long.
My ship was a medium-sized ship with a length of 350 m and a height of 48 m.
"Eugene."
Then, in the middle of the green forest, someone walked down the wide street and called my name.
I turned right back and straightened my palm, bringing it to the end of my eyebrow.
"Captain Eugene, you have completed your mission and have just returned."
"Struggled."
The young man of lieutenant colonel rank patted my shoulder and smiled.
"What's the trouble? I just did what I had to do as a soldier."
Hahaha....
"Later, you'll sit on my top seat, so take a good look at me."
I laughed out loud at the lieutenant Colonel's laugh.
Hahaha...!
But I soon felt something reluctant in the lieutenant Colonel's smile.
"Lieutenant Colonel Park. Have you ever had an accident committee convened?"
Lieutenant Colonel Park's complexion hardened.
Hoo....
With a long sigh, he nodded and patted my back.
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
"I don't worry. But I came back with the ball,and do I have to kill it?"
The complexion of Commander Park, who was young and anxious to see if he liked my answer, was unfazed and calm.
"I should. He's also Captain Yu, the hero of the Aldebaran War."
I and Commander Park walked side by side through the green forest.
From opposite, a large dog of metal, more than 3 meters long, approached with red eyes.
The large dogs came out with red eyes and scanned Lieutenant Colonel Park and passed.
"When is Commander Park alive? I think it was this time."
"Today is my forty-third birthday. I'm eating my age without doing anything."
"Congratulations, Commander Park. Please accept this because you have not prepared a gift separately."
I took one small piece of silver-white metal from my pocket and handed it.
"What is this?"
Commander Park asked, looking at a piece of metal the size of his finger.
"Rhodium."
"Rhodium? That's very expensive, isn't it?"
The angry-faced Commander Park looked alternately at the piece of metal in his hand and at my face.
"Not very expensive. And it's not a bribe, so don't be burdened."
The horse did that, but in fact that piece of rhodium was a very expensive metal.
It will be twenty times more expensive than the same volume of gold.
"Thank you."
Commander Park put a piece of rhodium in his pocket.
I and Commander Park entered the building, which rose high in the sky like a pointed spire.
"Loyalty!"
The soldiers guarding the entrance came out and saluted Lieutenant Colonel Park with their hands up.
We took the elevator through the corridor.
25th floor.
When Commander Park pressed the button, the elevator went up at a high speed.
Ding Dong.
The alarm sounded that he had arrived on the 25th floor and the door opened.
I and Commander Park left the elevator and opened the door directly across the corridor.
"I brought Captain Eugene, Captain Mugunghwa-ho."
Commander Park, who opened the door and entered, first raised his hand and saluted.
After saluting, he walked to a chair on one side, took his seat, and sat down.
"Captain Eugene, you have completed your mission and returned."
I saluted towards the soldiers sitting opposite.
When I entered, there was already a committee of four.
Major General Kwok sat in the middle. Young-looking, he was the captain of the 1st fleet to which I belonged.
The young soldier sitting to the left of the captain was an operational officer of the fleet, whose rank was Colonel, and the young lieutenant colonel sitting to the right was an intelligence officer.
And the position of the older colonel, who sits on the right, is Inspector General.
I never ran into the Inspector general directly, but the rumors were so lush that I knew a lot about her.
He was two hundred and thirty-two years old, and he wanted to be promoted to brigadier general for the remainder of his term.
In addition, there have been rumors that he has been married five times and divorced five times, and that his personality is very sharp and eccentric.
"I've been reported to have done a clean operation. I've worked hard, Captain Yu."
The captain of the fleet said a short word: "I'm not going to do this."
"Thank you, Captain."
I formally received the captain's words.
Then, even if it wasn't, the skeleton-like Inspector's face was slightly distorted.
"Captain Yu. Wasn't this operation a priority for the capture of terrorists?"
I calmly received the Inspector General's words.
"That's right. However, when the situation was not clear, we were ordered to blow up the enemy ship."
"Yeah? So how do you explain this?"
At the end of her words, a hologram appeared with a frighteningly bright light.
The hologram recreated the command and control room where I and Chun-hyang had a conversation some time ago.
In the command and control room, I and Chun-hyang were having a conversation.
"Captain. I'm sure you're going to raise a problem with this at the top."
"Upper? Tell him not to @₹₹@@## ( course) Plasma cannon ready to fire."
The captain's complexion hardened slightly as he confirmed my conversation with Chunhyang, which was reproduced in a hologram.
In addition, the faces of the operations officer and the intelligence officer were distorted, and Lieutenant Colonel Park's complexion darkened.
As soon as Mugunghwa-ho entered the atmosphere, it was clear that he had connected to the ship's main computer and downloaded the files stored in the surveillance program.
But I did not atrophy in the slightest.
"I know that the longevity on the battlefield does not even listen to the king's orders. In the same situation as then, the bombing of the enemy ship was the most appropriate action."
The Inspector General's voice grew sharp.
"Appropriate measures? Captain Yu didn't do that even though he was able to capture enough terrorists alive. But how can we call it an appropriate measure?"
I still looked at the Inspector general.
