CHAPTER I

The Plain

The Plain is every known and explored territory of space. Four Quadrants make up the Plain. There are many galaxies in a Quadrant and many solar systems make up a galaxy. Each solar system breaks down into planets and so on.

I come from a planet very similar to Earth but in a different Quadrant of the Plain. I am Adam, a Jerusalin from the planet Jeru of the Bright Quadrant.

Jeru is just as beautiful as Earth, only a hundred times larger with three moons. Located in the water galaxy, Jeru has the oldest recorded carbon deposits ever discovered. It is believed that thinking life began here.

The water galaxy came first, after the galactic explosion on scientific record of over a frillion years ago, approximately.

Earth was created later on from a subpulse of a chemical reaction of sulfuric and carbon fusion millions of years later, a hot magnetic bead thrown from its own sun. Thousands of space particles clung to its surface while it was spinning, fusing different minerals to its surface as it cooled to create the dramatic and unique appearance that only Earth has.

The Bright Quadrant of the Plain has many light sources. Thousands of suns light the skies where flames defy the cold of blackness. Most of the galaxies here have very little life on them or none at all, though life is found in several of its solar systems.

Heat creatures and other life forms that breathe or live off different gases on their particular planet survive. Most are noncomplex, incapable of space travel, and are not a threat to my species.

Although all three planets in the Jeru system are inhabited, Jeru stands alone as the dominant and most powerful nation. Our technology and capabilities far exceed our neighboring adversaries, giving us the upper hand in our endeavors. We are a scientific community, and our main purpose is to help improve life throughout the Plain. Each of the planets in the Jeru system are inhabited and controlled by man and the word human means warm man, a subspecies of ourselves.

The red tribe of Jeru have no hair on their bodies. The twelve surrounding suns in the water galaxy keep Jeru at an even and constant temperature, so our people have no need for hair to keep their bodies warm like people in colder regions of the Plain, where hair is an evolutionary trait for adaptation to environment.

Take Earth for instance; people who live near the equator have less hair on their bodies (and darker skin—another evolved trait) than those who live farther away. We use 100 percent of our brain capacity and can do marvelous things. We roam freely about the Plain in an effort to bring peace and harmony to existence.

CHAPTER II

The Mission

The academy seemed so much brighter today. Light filtered through the overhead ray vents warming the giant octagon-shaped atrium that I stood in. A smile found my lips and a sense of relief came over me. I was proud of myself and wished my parents were still alive to witness my latest accomplishment. I aced my finals in quantum physics and navigation, pretty much securing myself a guaranteed placement on the elite explorer squad.

Although most J’ru’s have great mental capabilities, some are more gifted than others. I was blessed with the gift of photographic memory recall and numeric code decipherability. Science and math are like a second language to me, and I’ve never had a need to study like most students.

My final exam was an assigned mission, a two-part test that each apprentice was to complete on their own. I had thirty days to travel through the Plain, discover an unknown species, submit a written analogy, and get graded.

I opened the clear door of my locker, picked up my travel gear, and held it in my hands, putting it to my nose to enjoy the distinct scent that it left in my nostrils. I closed my eyes and was already traveling far away in my mind, anxious and determined to be the one, the one who would find greatness and bring honor to my family name.

I looked at the inscription that was encrypted on the inside of my head gear which read In loving memory of Mom and Dad.

Pride swelled up in my throat. I swallowed it and took a deep breath. I felt like I had something to prove. I closed the door with the blink of my eyes and headed toward the exit.

I slipped unnoticed into the docking bay where I found myself alone inside the room where it all starts. Only a giant door separated me from where I stood and the true freedom of space.

The main lights were off and the secondary lighting illuminated the twelve cruisers that were sitting in the bay. It was so quiet that my thoughts echoed against the emptiness of the huge open bay.

I knew exactly which ship I was to pilot and placed my hand against the starboard side of my ride, running my fingers across the super sleek lines until I reached the cockpit. I said a small prayer and gave it my personal blessing. Tomorrow would be a great day, a day I would never forget.

I woke up cold, my heart already anticipating the importance of this day. I had waited my whole life to do something of value and hoped to fill the void inside of me left by that feeling.

I overdressed and jumped on the grid to check the day’s atmosphere results. A high magnetic reading was found and storms were highly probable throughout much of the Plain but that didn’t dampen my spirits any.

I remained focused and positive about my day. I sent an instant message to each of the other candidates, wishing them luck, and I sent a special thank you to my professor before I left. I looked around my small cubicondo and said my last good-bye, grabbed my gear by the entrance, waved my hand upward motioning the door to open, and out the door I went.

I stepped on the shuttle walk and headed to the academy. It was still semidark outside
