It took around 3 days to move from my original planet to the capital planet of the Federation, at a normal speed for a military ship.
On commercial ships it could take up to 5 or 7 days, while if military ships speeded up it could even arrive in less than two days.
Me and Tiago were in a part of the spaceship looking down, a gigantic planet bigger than the normal earth I remember and it's bigger than my planet, with a lot of vegetation and the sea in some other parts of it .
It was also possible to see a shield system around the planet, with satellite systems and bases and even some ships acting as vigilance and protection against invaders, especially Zergs and mutant monsters of the cosmic beast type, with the ability to move in the void of space. and attack.
We saw certain parts of the shield open with queues for ships to enter, but our ship itself went to another region probably dedicated to the military.
And soon we heard the communication of the opening rings.
[Ship please pass identification number.]
And the people at the communication center were reporting and we soon heard a response.
[It is an honor to welcome a ship from the 4th army, the path will be opened.]
And Tiago and I closely observed the futuristic metallic ring that glowed with energy and a part of the planetary shield temporarily opened.
And the ship continued entering the planet and then passed through the planet's gravitational field, and descended towards the city.
At the same time I heard Leonardo's voice coming from my smart communicator.
"Alex?"
"Yes, Leonardo?"
"How is the trip going?"
I was surprised, but I responded with a smile during those 3 days, I got along with the team and he spent several moments talking to me, he's a really nice person and easy to talk to, even unlike the rumors, although I don't know if that's the impression, but I felt there was something more to his whole situation and intention…I have an idea of the possibility, since I'm not stupid. But I don't plan on asking anything for now.
"It's going well, which city are we going to?"
"Let's go to Arthurian, it's the city where the federation's main military academy is located, one of the 4th army's bases is also there and most of the armies have bases near the academy." He informed me and continued to inform me.
"We should be there in 20 minutes…ummmm I'll be there first so I can accompany you to the gym."
"No" I quickly denied he wants to cause me problems by having the main general and basically almost the second in command of the 4th army entering the school with me?
one to two minutes later I heard his voice
"Why…?" Hearing his voice, which sounded pitiful, I felt a pang in my heart.
"Cough cough, it's a lot of attention, Pedro must explain it to you. We can meet up later."
He didn't respond and it seemed like I heard Pedro's voice saying something.
And he followed up with a question.
"Can I talk to you on the communicator..? "
"He can"
"Any time…?"
I frowned, but answered affirmatively and after talking more I hung up and felt a strange look from Tiago which made me ask.
"What it was?"
"The nothing"
He responded like that and looked away.
I didn't think much and simply observed the planet, with trees taller than those on a normal world with the noise of some beasts below and even large birds or large animals flying in the air, ranging from what looked like dinosaurs or simply large birds.
However, most of them were not offensive against the ship, there were also some small and "normal" animals.
For those who thought about attacking the ship, some small shots or lightning bolts shot at them.
In fact, as a representative of the original Orc planet of the federation, it is a planet with evidence of savagery and strong animals when nature call more.
…
In the Anturian city,
A large city that had its base on the ground and had floating platforms with anti-gravity technology and which had shields protecting them.
Leonardo, who came next to me, started talking.
"The platforms have different ways of building and focuses, some are focused on commercial and leisure areas, others as a base for companies and small factories and others with cheaper residences and others with more expensive residences."
"What about security?"
He smiled at me and replied.
"All platforms have defenses, in addition robots and ships fly preventing monster attacks from coming, but them getting closer to the city is rarer. Even beasts with lower levels of intelligence or when they go crazy, they still have some intelligence and instinct and at least have notions of territory and danger."
I nodded as I understood his point.
Tiago next door also asked something.
"And to the gym?"
Leonardo looked at him and replied.
"The gym is on the ground or on lower floating platforms, the same goes for military bases in general, as this has greater instability and a better way to counterattack in cases of attack"
We both nodded.
And after that the ship headed to a more base platform theoretically close to the academy.
There a landing zone appeared and ships similar but different to the one we are in were there and robots, cars and Mechs guided and adjusted the ships.
Leonardo looking at us moved as he spoke.
"I'm going to the control room. Did you guys get your stuff?"
"Yes" We both said at the same time. We removed everything from the ship, of course we didn't put much there, especially given my space.
But before he left he looked at me.
"Of course your room will remain yours on the ship." He said that and disappeared, looking faster and I didn't know how to react exactly...is this all for me to join the 4th army? But this ship...is his creation and I won't necessarily join that group.
And it took almost nothing and we heard the landing noise and the ship stopped silently.
And Tiago and I looked at each other and went to where the exit of the ship was.
