Lost In Unknown Cosmos
Year: 2127
I, Nijhum, am hurtling through the silent void with my sole companion, the human-like, exquisitely beautiful robot, Niya.
Our spacecraft, Velocity15, carves a path through the vacuum of space at the speed of light.
Our destination was the planet Proxima Centauri. Midway through our journey, we were caught by a supernova. Its immense gravitational field instantly snared our spacecraft, dragging it into a wormhole. With a rapid, violent gyration, the wormhole spat the Velocity15 out the other side and into an unknown sector of the cosmos—all in a blur of motion.
”Where are we?” I asked Niya.
She scanned the navigation system. “We’ve been shunted to a different universe. I can find no familiar stellar coordinates or recognized signals here.”
We were truly lost, accelerating toward an unseen future.
I gazed, entranced, at the luminous currents of countless stars tearing across the galaxy’s vast expanse. The sheer blaze of the nebulae’s colors made me momentarily forget our perilous situation.
Comets suddenly appeared, streaking violently across our viewport. The infinite star clusters of this new universe winked on and off like cosmic fireflies. We sped along unfamiliar orbital paths, traversing hundreds of light-years.
I stared with intense curiosity at the Oort Cloud—frozen gas, ice, and dust—as the superclusters rapidly dwindled in the distance. I was constantly losing myself in the boundless, majestic beauty of this creation.
Enveloped in the mysterious allure of the ultra-bright, endless cosmos, I continued to press forward, driven by a mesmerizing dream.
Searching the navigation system among a multitude of planets, I finally detected a habitable world. Its atmospheric components were strikingly similar to Earth’s, appearing as a green sphere ringed by a bold red band. It would take several days to reach it. With eyes full of wonder, a strange thrill pulsed through me as I focused on the alien world.
Our spacecraft quickly began its long final approach toward the unknown, foreign world…. to be continued……
