Flashback.2127 – My Education
I finished High School at the age of twelve and entered college. Two years later, I secured admission to the London Science Academy, which was then—and remains—ranked number one among all universities globally. My lifelong dream had always been to go into space and explore the universe. At eighteen, I graduated from the Academy with a Master’s degree in Cosmology, taking first place as I always had. I remember hearing that only a hundred years ago, a student typically wouldn’t complete a Master’s degree until they were twenty-four years old. After graduating, I pursued higher studies at the British Space Research Institute, completing a four-year Ph.D. program with a focus on Aeronautical Engineering, Aircraft Command, Alien Language, and Cosmic Studies.
The Assignment
Meanwhile, I received an incredible job offer from the British Space Fleet. They had reviewed my profile and were highly satisfied with my qualifications. This job was the realization of a lifelong dream.
The mission was a special assignment to the planet Proxima Centauri. I was chosen as the sole human crew member due to the extreme danger of the journey. The vast universe still holds countless unknown threats. My only companion would be a robot named Niya. She was built to be just like a human, with core programming that included all human capabilities, such as love, compassion, and emotion. Niya is the most super-intelligent robot of our time, built with supersonic technology. If necessary, she can fly, run at one hundred miles per hour, or even sprint underwater at high speed. She was built this way so that I would always have the company of a true companion. I was going to be in space for a long time, and I needed to alleviate my loneliness. Whatever the risk, I had to bring my only friend into this endless void.
The Vessel and Training
This journey would mark the first time a spacecraft and crew from Earth would travel at the speed of light to a planet outside our solar system. The state-of-the-art, futuristic space vehicle built for this mission, the Velocity15, cost about $100 billion and carried equipment valued at over $100 billion more.
The ship is nuclear blast-proof and is equipped with advanced computer hardware and software, as well as a multi-intelligent control panel. It houses a small-scale food production unit where several types of super-multivitamin vegetables are grown. Though not large, the spacecraft is fitted with various ultra-sophisticated pieces of equipment, including hyperdrive engines. The ship’s design resembles a falcon, with its huge wings folded inside the chest plating.
To prepare for the mission, I underwent two years of special training with the British Space Fleet. This included: Special Alien Commando Training: How to protect oneself, how to fight enemies, and training to operate several sophisticated weapons. The spacecraft carries several missiles, and I trained on how to launch them and identify targets. Combat Training: How to deal with sudden space dangers, including supernovas, black holes, and wormholes. Alien Communication: A mastery of several alien languages and the ability to detect communication through a sixth sense. I carry a sixth-sense receiver that allows me to communicate with them easily. Technical and Medical Skills: Experience in spacecraft repair and medical emergency training. To Be Continued …
