New Earth

Matt and Twilight went back to the bridge of the ship and saw a the warp bubble start to collapsed. “Merana, Status.”

“Matt we are nearing the Fricoure gate.”

“Good. All most home.”

“Fricoure gate?” Twilight asked confused at what the blue thing said.

“You want to know how we are able to get to stars light years away in about ten seconds?”

“I would love to see how!” Twilight said as the warp bubble collapsed 3,000 meters from the gate. “Wh… what is that?”

“That my dear Sparkle is…” Pause for dramatic effect. “A Stargate”

“What is a stargate?

“A stargate is… well… Merana can you answer this one?”

“Yes Matt…. A stargate sends ships, regardless of the distance, to another system far away.  There are four different kinds of stargates for public travel. Standard gates, constellation gates, regional gates, and border gates.”

“Ok but how does it work”

“Twilight there is nothing in my data bank or on the extranet about how stargates work. I believe it secret and only given to the ones who…”

“Merana” Matt interrupted. “Well let’s do the next best thing.”

“What’s the next best…” Twilights words started to become distorted as the ship disappears and a blue bolt is fired from the stargate in to the next star system. “…thing? Wow.”

“Yes it is amazing being transported from one star to another…” With a snap of his fingers “Just like that!”

“Amazing I know teleportation spells but I don’t even think Celestia herself could…”

“Wo wo wo hang on a second Twi” Matt says cutting of Twilight mid-sentence. “Did you just say spells? As in magic?”

“Well yes. Why do you ask?”

Matt’s onboard computer alerts Matt that his ship is going in to warp to the station he calls home. “Well magic doses not exists.” Well not in reality.

“Oh? How do you think I made that shield?”

“Easy star ships have shields. And new solders have shield. So you…  good point.”

“Well… I would love to visit a library. This place sounds fascinating!”

“There is a library at the station where we live so I can pick up some book and take them back for you.” As the ship left warp and was just about 2 Km from the station’s massive docking hanger.

“WOW. I did not think such things could be.” Twilight says as she stares at the Gallente station

Docking permission requested.

“Station this is Matthew Ike of the Bemoth I hope you have a dock ready for one ship and cargo bots ready to unload nothing but space junk.

“Affirmative sir. Welcome home Matt.” A female station control officer says.

“Thank you station… good to be home”

”He’s docking in the station now guy"

“Spot on! Get the troops ready”

Matt’s ship stops over a plat form and floats over it thanks to gravity beams. Matt Twilight and Merana inside a small chip exit the ship from the port side air lock on to a movable platform made to move personal around the inside of a station to other ships and cabins. The platform moves to a cabin owned by Matt.  Matt’s cabin was of Gallente design.

“Well Matt this is… nice”

“Well Twilight this is what I got. I don’t really use this place a lot because I’m out in space most of the time. Just stay here I will get some books” Matt starts walking out the door and puts the chip Merana is in into a socket on the wall transferring her into his room’s electronics.

Twilight sat down on the couch and took a look around. There was a screen with moving pictures projected from the wall, a coffee table with a small hologram of a ship, a agent finder board, a small bed, mirror, some drinks and food on the shelves built in to the wall near the door, a poster next to it advertising some movie called Clear Skies 2 “One crew. Half a ship. No idea.” and a small hologram of the blue creature named Merana.

“Sooo…. You’re a unicorn right?”

“Yes I am, why? Do you not have them here?”

“No not in New Eden… you want to watch something while we wait?”

“Ok. Watch what?”

“Well we got The Scope news, a documentary on legends of new Eden, another documentary called The Jovians myth or reality, and three movies under the title Clear skies.”

“What’s Clear Skies?”

“Clear Skies is the name of a Tempest class Minmatar battleship. The crew needs to earn cash for repairs and such.”

“Well it sounds like a good play”

“Technically Twilight you are correct but it is not live in a theater played by actors. It is showed on a screen of moving pictures.”

“Like that thing” Twilight points at the wall mounted holographic T.V.

“Yes.”

“So what are the Jovians?”

Matt walks throw the door carrying 6 books. “There aliens.”  Matt says as he places the books on the coffee table. “There genetically modified freaks light years ahead of us hiding in some distant region. They may have also messed with our development.”

“How could they do that?”

Matt sits down on the couch next to Twilight “Well for example one race invents the jump drive making huge capital ships a reality. Something that can really help a race rule New Eden. But then suddenly all the races make the same brake throw. How do you think could do that?”

“Fascinating… do you really think that’s true?”

Matt hands Twilight a book on the rediscovery of space travel. “Well it’s something to think about.”
