The chase is on … but who will win?
Forces on all sides are fighting for the Relic.
It’s the only way to flee their monotonous lives and fulfill their needs.
Yautja, from the Triangular Galaxy, and Sundara, from a Galaxy called Andromeda, have justifiable reasons for chasing the Relic – both good and bad – and they won’t give up until it’s in their clutches and satisfying their demands.
Meanwhile, on an undisclosed military base, the Johnson family’s lives are getting more complicated by the day. Harold is in training to be a space marine, but his wife Hanna, and their two teens are being drawn into a situation over which they have no control.
Everyone’s in for a surprise. No one knows that the Relic has a mission of its own. This manipulative enigma holds a secret no one knows about … not even the people from earth or the forces from other planets … many of whom are unconsciously entangled in its web of deception.
Who will find the Relic – the families, the entities, or the other vigorous forces?
Will Sundara finally get to take her unconventional family home?
Will Yautja’s greed become her ultimate downfall?

Chapter 1
Standing on the shore of Starlings Island waiting for the ferryboat, Brent could see it in the distance as it pulled in. He could not believe this was happening; he had a space where he wanted the cargo to build. When he saw the splash of water, he thought for a moment about his past working at Lowes.
You can see the waves coming onto the island, and the boat slowed down. Towards the island's front. While Brent was helping a ferry ship to move in a certain way, as other people help cars to park, the ferry ship’s captain did not need Brent's help, since this was not a fresh experience for them.
It is common for cargo ferry boats to have parking spaces for cars and trucks. The Brooks family owned this private cargo ship. In the background, he would watch as his coworker unloaded the 18-wheeler containers to supply the spaceship parts. There were container forklifts everywhere.
Brent underestimated the sheer size of the unit he saw being delivered. This is a trial run with merchandise, but the next run will have more cargo containers.
I watched the Tilt Bed pick up the containers from the ferryboat and lift them on shore. It was neat to see. The ramp from the ferryboat was down. Seeing the entire process in action was fascinating. Suddenly, the guy yells out, Where do you want the container?
. Then I went up to show him the map and pointed to a section of the island.
The Tilt Bed truck went into action and moved slowly and fast at the same time. Besides the container with the other goods and orders they ordered for their family, there was more on the ferryboat. There were three letters on the container: IOH. Brent did not know what that meant. Only he knew what was inside.
An enormous box came off the private ferryboat with something in it. This was a surprise for the family and guests. Peugeot Speedlight was written on the side of the box. This was also taken off the ferryboat. Towards the land.
More shipments are coming in. Suddenly the captain of the boat came out to shake my hand and introduce himself, telling Brent he was in great hands. According to him, this boat goes about forty knots and is very modern. It amazed Brent and his family at the complete process.
The captain had to get back on the water, but he was glad to meet us and see our island. And he was looking forward to delivering more items to us in the future. Brent shook his hand, and the men retrieved the ropes that attached the anchors to the island's front. When the ramp went up, the boat rumbled into the water. The boat slowly sailed away from Starlings Island toward the water.
They watched the ferryboat speed up toward the Chesapeake Bay waters as it took off slowly. Brent stood there until the ferryboat disappeared. Then he picked up his cell phone and called Marc Dazet (reporter) in Virginia Beach... the phone rang several times and Sundara answered. Hello, this is Brent from Starlings Island.
Marc, are you there?
Hello Sundara,
she responded. She removed the phone from her hand.
She yelled out, Marc, the telephone is Brent Brooks? She read that a shipment had come in from Brent over the phone.
On my way,
Marc yelled back. After a few seconds, Marc picked up, and they immediately spoke in code.
Brent said, The Eagle has landed.
Marc instantly understood what they meant: part one. Brent said yes. In their condominium living room, he high-fived Sundara several times. He knew Sundara was aware of what was going on. After what happened in the grocery parking lot a few weeks ago, he did not wish to say too much.
Sundara gave him the thumbs up, Brent told him when you were coming down.
As Marc said, I'll be there in 72 hours; you know how to get here, right?
Yes, we do.
Marc said, There is another guest home waiting for you here on the island, and it is ready for you to move in. I am bringing the nest. Brent knew it meant blueprints. I will talk to you in 72 hours. Bring some cool snacks from Virginia Beach.
As the conversation ended, Marc almost leaped into Sundara's arms. As she almost caught him in mid-flight when he fell to the ground and stood up quickly. She was excited. Oh, my gosh. Marc went to his desk and found the original spaceship blueprints; since then, he has made two copies, one for Dr. Eugene and one for himself now on Starlings Island. Sundara kept another copy mentally: she kept the blueprints in her mind.
Marc looked at blueprints in the room, wondering which parts had been delivered to Brent and how they would look, and how to build a spaceship. It is like a newspaper company, where many parts make the newspaper.
You indeed have your Sunday paper on your porch, but most people do not know how it's made. It begins with the reporter finding the story or sometimes with the managing editor assigning the story. The story was drafted by me, the copy editor reviewed it, and photos or graphics were added, as necessary.
Afterward, it goes to the managing editor, sometimes Editor-in-Chief, then the business editor who manages marketing and placement, then off to the printing press, then delivered to the circulation department. Sunday morning is when everyone picks up their paper and has their coffee and breakfast.
In Marc's mind, we are assembling a spaceship. There is a brief similarity between the newspaper process and the blueprint of a spaceship on an island. To accomplish this mission, we also need a lot of help. He smiles as he examines the map's blueprint numbers and letters. Combining them.
Marc studied a section of the blueprint. Besides the numbers 3, 4, and 5, he understood some words. Sundara knew this would be something she had never seen before. On her own, she knew how to get home to Ooynt. Bringing her daughter Laura and Marc, her husband, home, was a necessity. It will be exciting to see the first spaceship from earth enter the atmosphere of the Andromeda Galaxy.
Shape Description automatically generated with low confidenceSam Mitchell. As he was relaxing in a pub in 1939, he noticed an envelope right next to him that had a Lion Claw on the front of it and he kind of knew what that mysterious envelope came from and in a way he didn't he turned his head to see if anyone saw him pick it up.
In a flash, he slipped the envelope under his arm and walked back to the military base. He began reading it as he walked. The paper was taken out of the envelope, and he read it.
Hello Mr. Mitchell. Although I do not know you, I am aware of your skills and discoveries. Sam knew the W.S. right away. He saw a picture of a Lion on the paper and stopped in the middle of the road to read it. The 1939 Lincoln Zephyr car almost hit Mitchell as he walked and read. The driver stopped to let him pass. He continues reading.
Greetings, I am Dr. Eugene. From a different time, I heard you were a great fighter pilot, and you had a unique glow substance. Nobody knows about that except you. I am here to tell you I know what you have. We need you at another time in history. Despite being confused about what he meant; he kept reading. It is apparent that you are part of the secret establishment called the Wildlife Syndication and that your presence is needed.
He wondered how this Dr. knew about his flying skills and what he had in his room safely hidden away. Joe continued to read. It is unbelievable what I am about to reveal to you, Joe. We are here on a mission with W.S, and we need your help. I have enclosed flight coordinates on a map in the air of a time portal, so when you pass through this portal, you will be where I am in 2019. There was a pause in Joe's steps.
Yes, I realize you are alarmed now! LOL, that means Laugh Out Loud
in my time. You must fly your airplane to this area in the sky where the numbers and longitudes, and latitudes are listed. I have left some money for the flight. Several bills were found inside the letter after he investigated it and tapped it. The bills fell to the ground, each bill read, The British Linen Bank 20 pounds. There were thirty of them. He is paranoid about anyone looking over his shoulder.
He keeps reading, now when you land here in this area, look around to see if anyone else is around; I chose this place for a reason. In response to his question, Joe asked himself, How am I going to get rid of my airplane?
.
There will be a car that you have not seen before. It will be an orange car with WS on the back. I will drive the car. Please jump in, and we will meet in 2019. I need your help with the mission.
He reread the letter three times to ensure that it was addressed to him. It seems unheard of for him to do what I asked of him with his airplane and himself. His eyes were drawn to the W.S. after he saw it. He was surprised when he realized that the W.S. was still in another era. In 1939, I asked him to do this for a week. He stored the letter and envelope safely.
Chapter 2
After delivering the third and fourth containers on the ferryboat, Bulldog called Joe to let him know they had arrived on Starlings Island. It is me Bulldog on the CB radio, breaker, breaker Joe. Joe Louis noticed the CB signal. Hello, bulldog, everything is fine, Joe replied. I am back. I am here in Virginia Port, watching the containers go to Starlings Island. The CB clicked; just thought I would let you know.
I am traveling South on I-95 to
Flow Town Florence, South Carolina,
Joe responded to me, "Watch it out there are a lot of bears out there (law enforcement, helicopters, and hiding in the bushes) I noticed, beware, Eskimo Joe, okay Bulldog. I have an empty trailer on my rig if I stay within the speed limit. Let us talk later. I should be okay. It is okay, Bulldog, see you later and stay safe. Four more to go…
Within a few hours of the CB talks ending. A red and blue light appears out of nowhere, and Joe notices a State Highway Patrol following him.
No way, what did I do? he asked himself. His ears were tuned to the accents he knew would be present in South Carolina.
In response, he shifted down. He pulled over on the side of the highway. Slowly, the highway patrol car opened. I titled a trooper hat to the left, and there was also the walk.
How are you doing, son?
he asked.
I am doing well,
Joe said.
Welcome to The Carolinas. I am not on the Welcoming Committee, but I want to welcome you here, son.
That's right son, you want to know why I stopped you."
Joe said, Yes, officer. It seemed to me that I was driving within the speed limit.
He paused for a moment, This is just one of those routine traffic stops on Interstate 95 South... Hey, what's your name, son?
My name is Joe. I wish you a safe trip.
I've noticed your trucks a few times on I-95 here," the officer said as he turned to walk away. After that, he wished Joe a good day.
While the highway patrol was walking away, the trooper came back to his truck window and said, Said Joe, if the Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise.
Joe stared at him, puzzled. Then he replied, Okay, Sir.
After that, he walked away. In the meantime, Joe awaited the highway patrol to jump in his car. It seemed to take forever. He turned back on his 18-wheeler and started driving down I-95 and then clicked the CB Bulldog, Hello Bulldog, come on. Static sounds are heard, followed by a voice.
Hello Joe, I just had a bear pull me over here. He said, ‘If the Lords are willing and the creek doesn’t rise.’ What does that mean?" The CB radio clicked.
Bulldog knew right away he was from Georgia. He understood the meaning of the terms, It means people will do what they say they will do
until something stops them.
This was a warning to Joe.
This is a Carolina saying. In Georgia, we don’t say that. Joe liked to talk and find out things... He had a Parrot ornament dangling over his rearview mirror with the initials W.S. OKAY, thanks, bulldog. I will buzz you back if we need to change our plans or reroute our trip.
Joe repeated the saying a third time. 'If the lords will' and the creek doesn't rise, he said aloud to himself.
Shape Description automatically generated with low confidenceSundara Dazet and Marc Dazet were packing for a weekend trip to Starlings Island with their daughter Laura. Marc kept the spaceship blueprints in a locked briefcase, and he remembered the Earth Surveillance Unit had told him to bring their device. As he was leaving, he called his managing editor, Amelia to let her know where he was located.
They like this part of Virginia. It differed from the Hampton Roads area, quieter and more laid back. Sundara was worrying about the unreachable contact from Andromeda Galaxy lately; she wondered if anything was wrong.
The fact that she planned to go home was kept a secret from everyone else. Her mission continues to be the extraction of water from the earth. She was unaware that another planet also had a similar mission.
Spacecraft dynamics was something Marc wanted to research further. As Marc pondered the word Trade
he thought of something throughout history. Before they left on the trip, he thought to himself. In his condominium, materials came from everywhere and shaped history. From the US, overseas. Using his computer, he searched for the word. Trade.
Throughout history, people have traveled to other lands and taught others about their ways from one culture to the next. By thinking this way, Marc regarded planets and galaxies from a distance. Every day, he will use toothbrushes, stoves, and mirrors without knowing who invented them.
From one culture to another, theories passed from one land to another, as people traveled and taught each other their ways. By thinking about planets and galaxies from a distance, Marc considered the surrounding items.
His feeling was that this would be the same in the future. He has learned so much from Sundara who comes from another planet. She has also learned a lot from being here on earth. Imagine trade in the future when different planets are connected, Marc speculated.
Who taught the Greeks? Egypt, I mean? No Greece? In his mind, he went back and forth about who did what. In the past, traders helped shape many worlds.
Several cities are part of the world, according to the article he read. It is not just one culture. Upon entering his office, Sundara asked how he was doing. I enjoy reading about trade and traders in history. Our planet has a lot of history, his wife spoke back. You may not be familiar with many of the planets we learn about.
This phenomenon is quite common when you reach the outer reaches of the universe. Marc said. Yes, honey... However, there are new places in the stars that are starting, and they have original ideas and rules of trading. Some are nice, while others are aggressive.
Marc looks at his phone and sees a text from Brent. I put a gate at the entrance to the island; he said. For security reasons, like our home in Seabrook's NH.
Marc texts Brent back from Virginia to Virginia. Yes, we cannot wait to meet your family this weekend. I'll bring The Paperwork
Brent knew what he was talking about.
In the middle of texting, Marc kisses his wife. I love you,
he whispered, and she stared at
