"Chill, chiilll, don't move. I have a gun pointed on your head and you don't want to get shot right? And also be a good boy to wait for the police to come for you" I said to the criminal who I just fought with, pointing a gun to his head while putting handcuffs on his hands
"I am going to fucking kill you!" The man shouted
The man struggled on the ground. I stood up and just stared at the man on the ground struggling. I sighed, another crime stopped. I..... Really.... Really Love my job.

My phone is ringing, I took out my phone from my pocket and went away from the man. It is Victor, Recruit 324.
"Hahahaha! What kind of ringtone is that!" The criminal on the ground shouted, mocking me
"Shhh shhh shhh, please be quiet when someone is on the phone" I silence the criminal
I accepted the call
"Eyyyy, Jasper what is it? Make it fast, I don't want the police to see me here" I greeted Victor
"I have good news brother! The ship has now been completely made!" He excitedly said to me
I started laughing in excitement
"You mean the ship-ship?" I asked
"Yes!" He agreed
"Okay, when are we launching?" I asked again
"Well, it depends on the crew if they want today, tomorrow or other days" he replied
"Well, I'm on my way then!" I excitedly said and hung-up the phone
I started running to my car
"Hey kid! What about the fucking keys for this handcuffs!? There is no way the police have similar or spare keys for this!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good morning!" I greeted a passerby
"Good morning also"
"Good morning!" I greeted another passerby
"Good morning"
There is no way, no way they built it! I entered the big room where we created things and machines. I looked at the big giant humongous controllable robot displayed on my left, useful for war and unstoppable.
I entered the next room, there it is, a big and humongous, white, beautiful spaceship displayed. Hahaha! No way!
"Woohoo!" I shouted, admiring the beautiful spaceship
"Oh, hey there Caden" a girl, crewmate, named Selene greeted me
All my other crewmates for this spaceship are also smiling, looking and admiring the spaceship. We have a mission, is to go to the planet Aetheris. A discovered planet by ASIS of America.
They also asked to join this mission and we gladly accepted it. The point of the mission is to go to that planet, see if it is really habitable enough for humans and that's it, no more, we are planning to stay there for days or maybe months.
"You really looked excited for this" a girl named Mia said to me while touching and inspecting the spaceship
"Can't you see!? We will be the first humans to step on another habitable planet!" I replied
"Are we ready to go?"
I looked behind, it was Victor, carrying heavy loads of bags inhumanely, walking towards us.
"Eeeeeeyyyyy Victor, you excited for the mission?" I asked while approaching him and hugged him like a blood-related brother
"Yes, of course I am excited. Why did you ask?"
"Look at these guys! They don't look excited" I replied, pointing at our crewmates who don't look excited
"We are also excited for the mission Caden, what are you even worrying about? And Victor, you already packed up?"
"What? Are we not going today?"
"We have to wait for the people sent by ASIS's reply about this"
"We shouldn't have let them join this. Without them, we might be already on our way to Aetheris"
"Caden, want to go explore inside the ship?" Axel who came out of nowhere said to me
"Okay"
We went to the spaceship, we looked around for its doorway.
"The fuck? This is confusing, let me contact Luca" I muttered and took out my phone from my pocket
*Huuuuuummmmm, huuuuummmmm, tuk*
"Caaaadeeeeen, sorry for not joining the mission" Luca greeted me
"Yeah, this sure be really exciting like a boy's hangout or camping" I replied
"Soooo, why did you call me?" He asked
"Aren't you one of the recruits who made the spaceship? The spaceship to go to Aetheris?" I asked
"Yes, why?"
"How do you open this thing? Like how to go inside it?"
"Oh, right, forget to tell ya and the others. You already know what the outside of a cockpit looks like right? Go to the opposite or back of the spaceship and go to the right. Use your keen eyes and you will see a square like a button, press that and a bridge will go down for you and the others to enter"
"Okay thanks" I replied, I went behind the ship and looked around for it
"I got to go, I have a mission to do. See you soon and good luck in Aetheris"
"Okay, good luck to your mission to" I replied and hung up on the phone
I looked around closely, I saw a button, camouflage with the white color of the ship. I pressed it.
*Tzeeeeeeeeeeng*
The bridge on top of me of the ship started to lower down. I started laughing in excitement. Axel and the others also came behind, looking the bridge lowering down in awe. I joined them, I could see the inside. The bridge lowered down slowly to the ground with a thud.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go inside!" Axel shouted and ran inside
We also joined him inside, we were met by a door, we entered. It's a circle room, I think it's the airlock entry for depressurization. We went to the door on the other side. We were met by a big room, a lot of doors, ladders going up.
"I heard they made it feel like home to us. There is a bedroom for each of us, a living room, a kitchen, a balcony to go outside and they said it was covered in glass. And lots of more" one of our crewmates named Lila, said to us
"Then that makes it even more better!" Axel shouted and went to the door on the left
We followed behind, it is the living room. There is a sofa, a huge TV, plants, like real plants and real soil planted on it, chairs, tables, and whatever you can find in a luxurious living room! And there is also a big balcony on the other side!
"Did they say about this spaceship having solar panels? Like you know, those flat panels turning the heat of the sun into electricity" I asked
"It will be crazy what I am going to tell you. This spaceship is covered with solar panels, so whatever part of the spaceship got hit by the heat of the sunlight, the shield of the spaceship will go up and reveal the solar panel" Lila replied
I jumped on the sofa flatly, bounced and landed again. Hoooooooo, this sofa is so soft and very very comfortable. The others went around to explore. I saw a white remote on the table in front of the sofa.
I took the remote and looked at the buttons, I saw a button with some kind of a logo of a window. There is a very loud noise. I looked up, the plates of the spaceship were turning into a window, I could see the outside. This is so freakin cooooooool!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Food check... water check... Oxygen tanks check... Defects none... Depressurization area check... Okay, we are good to go. I am not sure why is your spaceship white when your group is named Black" one of the ASIS scientists said while coming outside after inspecting the ship and while checking things on his paper
"Well, I also don't know" I replied
This is it! This is the day we are going to Aetheris! No way! All of us packed a lot of snacks, a lot of food, a lot of clothes for the mission while the ASIS members brought things I don't know, probably for the mission research, maybe their things also.
All of us entered inside. I went straight upwards and went to a bedroom where I planned to become my room. I put all my things and went outside again to go to the living room. Some of our crewmates are going to man the ship while we relax.
They said we can get to Aetheris in just a few minutes. They made the spaceship faster than the speed of light which is confusing, talk about breaking physics or science. I sat on the sofa with the others. The ASIS members are going around, very busy. Why don't they just chillax?
No one is going to eat and watch while travelling since travelling faster than the speed of light will be..... Dizzy. I took the remote and clicked on the window button. The armor of the spaceship started moving upwards, revealing the outside like a window.
"Wooow, that is so cool" Mia said, amazed
"I know, right?"
Hmmm, looks like we are incomplete, the others are maybe in the cockpit or still in their bedroom. There are 10 of us, 5 males and 5 females. And 6 ASIS members, 3 males and 3 females. Good thing Axel is still in his room. If he is, he might take this remote on my hand and start messing around.

My phone started ringing, I took out my phone. It is Maverick, the one who will be piloting the spaceship.
"Pffft, what kind of ringtone is that!" Selene mocked me and started laughing
"Shut the fuck up, it is my favorite song from my idol"
I accepted the call
"Eeeeyyy, Caden, are we good to go? Everything and everyone ready?"
"No"
"Okay, we are taking off already. Tell the others and ASIS scientists to get ready" Maverick said to me
"Okay guys, get ready, we are taking off as early as we could" I said to the others
I stood up and started searching for the ASIS scientists.
"Cadeeeen, is that you!?" I could hear Hunter's voice joining in the call, cheerfully greeting me
Hunter is the other pilot for the spaceship
"Hunteeeer! Damn right" I greeted back
"What are your thoughts about planet Aetheris?" Hunter asked
"I don't know, maybe animals, beautiful scenery, maybe aliens, maybe humans or maybe... Dangerous creatures" I replied
"Yeah, I am also thinking the same"
I entered the kitchen and looked to the right, I found some of the ASIS scientists.
"We are taking off already, can you tell it to your other friends?" I said to them
They nodded, I started to go on my way back to the living room.
"Okay, we are ready" I said to Maverick
"Fasten your seatbelt then, we are going to travel faster than the speed of light" Maverick said
"Remember, stop and slowly hover before entering Aetheris, we want to explore its solar system"
I hung up the call and joined the others on the sofa, fastening our seatbelt. Damn, this seatbelt is so tight I barely breathe. I could feel the spaceship lifting up. I looked at the window, we started to go up and up and up until we reached the surface.
I could see loud shouts and voices outside, probably the other recruits. I took one last look at the window of our place and started hovering upwards to the outer space. We go faster and faster, until we reach the outside of Earth. All of us looked outside, it is very dark, we could see a lot of stars, shining brightly, we could also see the moon, slowly moving.
"Are we all ready?" Maverick announced from the speaker
"Ready" we shouted
"Then hold on tight, this is going to be uncomfortable"
All of us readied ourselves, we held on tight. My excitement filled my head, thinking what I might see in Aetheris. We could hear the spaceship getting ready to travel.
*Zroooooom*
We started travelling fast.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!" We started shouting at the top of our lungs
All of us held on more tightly, our faces started making funny faces. We are fighting the speed. We suddenly came into a halt, all of us taking deep breaths. I looked around, a lot of things fell to the ground..... Wait a minute, how are these plants still standing? Wait, are they potted in a cement or whatever they used to build this ship?
"We have arrived boys and girls!" Maverick announced
Wait, we arrived in just a few seconds!? We looked to the window, we saw a big planet, that looked like our planet Earth. We see green vast lands, clouds, red lands maybe the desert or a mesa, and large body of ocean. We could see a gray big circle floating, maybe its Aetheris' moon.
We could see other planets in the distance, a green planet, a purple planet, violet planet, red planet, some are big, some are small, and lastly, the sun, big red sun, more brighter and redder than the Earth's sun. We took out our phones and started taking pictures.
"Are we ready to go?" Maverick announced
"Ready!" We replied
We started slowly going towards Aetheris. We entered, our view was covered in clouds, we couldn't see a thing. We hovered downwards, slowly, the clouds started to get thinner. Ha..... Haha..... Hahahaha! So beautiful! The red land of Aetheris came into view.
The environment is vast, and big, I could see unfamiliar red plants, unfamiliar red trees, unfamiliar red everything. We hovered around, looking for a place to land safely, somewhere wide. We just admire the beautiful view in awe. I took out my phone, beautiful scenery.... Check.
This is my first time seeing a place..... Without a city and buildings, all we see is red. We found a place to land. We hovered down slowly, the trees below swayed as we lowered to the ground.
"This is it this is it this is it!" Mia excitingly said
I saw Alex run outside the room
"Come back here you little shit! We ain't sure if the air is good or bad!" I shouted
He stopped and walked back to us. I was the one who agreed to go out and test the air. I went to the suit room and wore it. I felt that we landed safely. I went back to the entrance, holding my helmet.
"Ready if you are" Hunter said to me
I wore my helmet and entered the airlock entry.
"Depressurization"
I waited for the depressurization to finish
*Tingning*
"Depressurization completed"
Okay okay, Caden, this is your time, this is a moment of your history. You will be the first, very very first human to step on planet Aetheris. Even if there are humans already on this planet, you will be..... The first human on earth to step on this planet. I opened the door.
The bright sun flashed my eyes, I looked down. I saw small animals run away and hide in the plants. I step forward, going down the bridge. The red grassy ground is in front of me, I raised my leg. I stepped on the ground, here it is, the very first human to step on Aetheris.
I started to walk around, the grass munched as I stepped around. I jumped, it felt like the same gravity as Earth. I could hear birds chirping, but it doesn't sound like the same from Earth's birds. A lot of birds above me flew by, they are shaped differently, I am looking at a different kind of species of birds.
"Ready to take your helmet?" Maverick asked from our telecommunication
"Ready" I replied
I put my hands on my helmet. I turned it to loosen it. I took off and held it beside my waist. I started breathing deeply. Breathe in... Breathe out... Breathe in... Breathe out... Breathe iiiiiiinnnnn. Breaaaaatheee ooooooooout. It is fresh air, I am not feeling any symptoms like dizziness.
This really, feels like Earth, the gravity, the air, the environment, the wind, it felt like.... nothing has changed.... only the colors and no cities or buildings around seems off, it should be green, but planet Aetheris gives red. A big smile filled my face and started laughing.
"So, is it good?" Maverick asked
"A big yes" I replied
I could hear them celebrating and laughing joyfully from the call. I took off my suit and started looking around. I heard the others coming out of the spaceship.
"Welcome to my planet, Aetheris. Make yourself at home" I greeted them like it is the first time we saw each other and own the planet
"Yeah yeah" Axel said and patted me on the shoulder
The scientists also came out with their lab coats on. I took around again, I could see big mountains in the distant , red mountains because of the red grass, red trees, red plants and whatever you see in a jungle, forest or mountain.
The scientists of ASIS looked around and started taking notes on their papers. Axel stabbed the pole of our Philippine flag to the dirt ground, beside it, he stab the pole of the American flag to the dirt ground. The two flags swayed and flapped. A big satellite came out of our spaceship. Victor took out his phone.
"Good thing our satellite is very advanced" Victor said
He raised his phone
"Yow wassup guys, Victor and the others here again. You are not going to believe this"
He raised his phone up more, revealing it all
"We are on another planet, Aetheris! We finally made it! No, no, it's not green screen, I know this is hard to believe but just look at ASIS website.... I know I know I don't have much evidences for this"
Sigh, we.... Have finally made it
