Reaching Equus

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Prior to undocking from the space station, everyone changed out of their jumpsuits and into space suits in case of depressurization. Once the hatches were closed, the Squid Sisters took the controls and undocked the Inkstar from the space station. After setting the star coordinates for Equus, it was time to fasten seat belts. As Marie charged up the warp engines, Callie told everyone what the ride was going to be like.

"We are going to be pulling some serious g-force when we are flying from our solar system to that of Equus. Marie and I have experienced this from the war, so we're used to it. Since none of you are used to it, it is perfectly fine if you pass out.", she said.

When the engines fired off, everyone was yanked back in their seats. Luckily, nobody passed out from the sudden acceleration. Everyone thought it was interesting to fly past the stars at such incredible speeds. Once they got close to Equus, Marie pulled back on the warp switch to slow the ship down. The sudden decrease in speed left both Callie's parents and Marie's parents dizzy for a second. Taylor had double vision, and Lizzie ended up with a minor headache. These conditions subsided quickly. As they moved closer to Equus' orbit, they got a call on the radio.

"Orbital Patrol to unidentified spacecraft. Please identify yourself.", said Thorax.

"This is Callie from the Squid Sisters aboard the Inkstar. We are here on a surprise visit for Flurry Heart.", answered Callie.

"Acknowledged, you are clear for atmospheric entry. Also, you picked a good time to come. Flurry's birthday is tomorrow.", replied Thorax.

Callie and Marie were excited to hear this. Their visit would be a surprise gift for Flurry Heart. They continued proceeding to enter the atmospheric corridor. As they got close, they warned everyone about what was to come. They were about to go through one of the most dangerous phases of space flight.
