The New Era

I was a LCDR on the U.S.S Lincoln that was heading toward an uncharted planet, one that seeming has life on it.  We're not completely sure that it has life on it, but the chances are high, so they sent me and my team with a handful of scientists to investigate the planet. If we do found sentient life, than am to plant a beacon that will send a signal that will alert the U.S.F (United States Federation) of my location.

  I walk down the metal hallway that was the U.S.S Lincoln The Lincoln was a very well shaped ship that kinda looks like the ship from Star Trek, but the colors were different from the original.

  She was black and blue,the main deck was a tangy yellow, with a hint of black in it. It was the most beautiful ship I'd ever seen. Nothing compares its beauty and I've seen Beautiful ships. The insides were not to be mistaking form the movies. Most of it was dark the only lights were the blue lanterns mounted on the wall.

The lights were limited - five lanterns per room,main deck, barracks, engineer/boiler room and The Department, also known as the science room. I enter the main deck, finding one of my private's and a genetics scientist talking

"Bu-but we need more information about the planet we're heading to. We don't know if the ecosystem will withstand our genetic DNA, we might burn or worse get infected by an unknown disease and die!" the scientist explained.

  The Private looked over towards me and saluted before I excused him. The Private was wearing a white tank top and the jeans was a thick-weighted black jeans that has two combat knives on both side of the jeans. The Private was a African american, sporting two side burns on the cheeks and he looked very busy at the moment. I decided to leave him until he'd finished. The Private continues his conversation with the scientist. As for me, I check over the other private's to see if they had everything. I step in the room,seeing the men down around a table playing poker "Aw come on!" Shouted the frustrated private " you gotta kidding me." he complained then as the private was about to speak "Officer on deck!" shouted Sergeant Booker that alerted the others of my presence.

   They quickly sat up to recognized me, before getting near their bunk beds standing right near them. I walked over them, circling like a vulture waiting for the small animal to die so that the vulture could eat the lifeless corpse. I looked at Booker, who was standing perfectly still like a true soldier. Sergeant Booker a very respectable man. He very loyal to me and his fellow colleges, he was wearing a white t-shirt and a black with a hint of gray in the jeans.

I stopped at Private Locke who was staring right at me - emotionless like he'd seen things and done things that he's not proud of. he was wearing a white tank-top and brown slacks. After a few moments staring at his deathly eyes that seems to deeper and deeper I  broke away.

I then step back so that all the men could see me. "Alright a couple hours away lies our destination. until than, I want every single body in this room ready." I said firmly. "Our satellites confirmed that there are indeed alien life on the planet, but don't know if its sentient. So I say ether sack up, or pack up." I finished

"What did you say sarge?" Private Abram, known also in Russian culture Абрам.

  I quickly marched over to the Private who spoken directly to me and said "Could you say that again Private". I looking at him, noting that he was wearing a standard combat vest and a bullet proof shirt with black and grey camo jeans. He a spetsnaz. When in the field he would rather charge in than wait,he's a mean, cold, killing machine. We came up face to face and i could tell that he was not afraid of me and I respect that. It's good to rebel sometimes, but if you rebel all the time you might as well call yourself a traitor, that's what I'll say, but hell I'm no judge, I don't tell who's going to die and who's not, Im a soldier who did his job with no questions.

"What did you say private....what did you say?" I said calmly. I waited few seconds of for the private to answer my direct question.

"I said what did you say...sir." Abram firmly said. His voice so clear that his voice could be heard throughout the ship.

With that I made sure that he was put back were he belong "WHAT DID YOU SAY!.....WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU KNOW GOOD PIECE OF DOG SHIT IF YOU CANT HEAR ME THAN WHY DON'T YOU GET SOME EAR AIDS FROM YOUR DEAD GRANDMA. WHY DON'T YOU TEAR IT OFF HER COLD EARS....HUH....HUH!" I furiously shouted at the brute who just stood taking it like a true man "Now will you excuse me I got business to attend to." I said smoothly as I walk out of the room.

As I walked down yet again the U.S.S Lincoln, then I stopped I started to think, was I too rough on the guy, no...no It's part of being a LDCR, you got to be rough on them or in battle they will be massacred the second they step on the field and I will not let that happen because I promise their family's that I will return them in one piece and If I lose a less one of them I will not forgive myself ever again. I quickly snap back into reality and continue to walk then checking on the time It was 12:34 pm and I need some sleep I'll need it for tomorrow when we step on the planet that no being step on before.
