Equipment and Armament

​The computer has now shrunk to the size of a pen. A laser display projects from its tip when a switch is pressed, and it operates by voice recognition, solving any problem in seconds just by speaking the command. I also had to study various types of software, as handwriting has become highly advanced these days.
Until now, the only off-world colony has been established on Mars. A habitable environment was created there using the World Engine, an engine capable of terraforming many planets to be Earth-like. My spacecraft carries a small-scale World Engine.
My vehicle is equipped with several other interesting things:
The DNA of millions of animals, plants, fish, and birds from all over the world is stored in a special freezer.
A small amount of valuable dark matter is on board. Just a tiny bit can be used for very large operations, such as destroying an entire planet in minutes.
Support Vehicles: A two-passenger air vehicle and a flying bike.
One hundred drones, all equipped with sophisticated cameras and laser detectors that can easily spot any object, including mineral deposits. They also carry a torpedo and a gun for shooting with arrows.
I also carry a modern handgun, which is one of my favorite pieces of equipment. This gun contains ten types of ammunition, each with a different function.
Nuclear Bullet: One bullet can obliterate an entire village. Freezing Bullet: One shot will freeze a thousand square meter area of fire, solid like ice. Laser Bullet: Contains a powerful current that will engulf the target upon firing. Light Bullet: Thrown into the sky, it illuminates the surroundings for a period of time. You can do more things with it.

The Departure – A Final Reflection

​My journey was scheduled for February 1st. Many well-wishers, including my mother, father, siblings, friends, and relatives, came to bid me farewell. Saying goodbye to my mother, father, and siblings was the most heartbreaking moment. I couldn’t hold back my tears; we cried together for a while. Then, I said a final goodbye to everyone with a lightened heart and boarded my ship, the Velocity15.
I put on my special astronaut suit and took my seat in the cockpit. Niya was sitting in the seat next to me. I gave her a thumbs-up, and she responded with a charming smile that immediately lifted my spirits.

​I started the engine and offered a silent prayer to the Great Creator. I turned off the handbrake and pushed the jump gear throttle. The moment we broke the Earth’s surface and entered space at high speed, I clicked the lightspeed button, and the hyper-driving engine powered on.​With a final, teary-eyed look, I silently paid my respects to the Creator’s wonderful, blue creation—Earth, the heart of mankind. I went to the navigation system, selected the planet Proxima Centauri, and hit the punch button. Our spacecraft, Velocity15, raced away at the speed of light.
