New CaptainStar Map Draftsman I: Federation War

“I’m videoing my wife, we’re expecting a baby, we’ve miscarried seven children, and I’m so afraid that I’m not going to be a parent in this life.” Rodney Cruise lifted the device in his hand and shook it.

Rodney Cruise home things Dawn Lucius and Kenny Jr. Clooney heard, the couple is fifty years old, except for the space agency, other things are not as important as they want children, the two do not know how to answer, the three then stalemate. rodney Cruise’s smile faded, he sighed and continued. “Let’s start with the hologram, which was captured by our second satellite, complete with more than just that coffin. At first, the camera robot on the satellite entered the dormant room of the Sane ship, and no other door could be opened, no matter how hard the smartest scientists on Earth tried to crack it. Later, the robot energy is almost exhausted, so sex, the space agency opened the camera into the wall behind a tube, turn on the energy-saving mode, do not do real-time data transmission, so as to save energy, once a week to the Earth to transmit data, only pictures, so that the file is smaller.” Rodney Cruise obediently sat down on the floor.

“Nobody had much hope, and after a year or so, the space agency had pretty much forgotten about it, and one night, I was in the hospital at the time, and my wife ......” Rodney Cruise paused for a moment, he sniffled a little, and continued. “I received a red message to rush to the space agency, because Qian Hua chance to find changes on the Sane ship, a year ago the hibernation chamber coffin no one, but the data in the latter months show that a person has repeatedly entered the coffin, that person and human appearance characteristics similar, we guess, that coffin can not only hibernate, the point is, that coffin is also a repair chamber, capable of repairing an injured body.”

Dawn Lucius gulped as he glanced at Kenny Jr. Clooney, who seemed to have forgotten to breathe at this point.

“So began the vast space project, your father ......,” Rodney Cruise continued, pointing to Kenny Jr. Clooney. “Your father, Qian Hua, said it was his greatest regret that he didn’t give you a full childhood.”

Kenny Jr. Clooney touched his nose and didn’t say anything.

“The Dawn ship was originally designed to be an expedition ship with room for two hundred people, but the competitors left early and we were forced to make a one-way trip. It was a Daredevil ship, not the same as the original purpose for which it was built, and at that point, we thought the Dawn ship was the new hope.” Rodney Cruise frowned, the corners of his mouth squeezed into shape. “Dawn was right, the Dawn ship didn’t have enough supplies to get us back to Earth, and, the Dawn ship was too late to install hibernation equipment, we had no way to hibernate while supplies were scarce, we would have starved to death before we got back to Earth.” Rodney Cruise started laughing, he did not look like a qualified engineer.

“We’re on this mission, and the three of us are the sacrifices.” Rodney Cruise pointed at the two men and laughed, as if he was laughing at the stupidity of whoever was doing it, he continued. “We don’t know if the people on the Sane ship are friends, let’s call them people for now, sending us there is the purpose of this mission, we may have a chance to collect useful information, possibly be taken away by the aliens and kept as pets, or dissected to study, or, play with us like crushed ants, hahaha. ” Rodney Cruise is like a drunken man who is playing with alcohol, he is laughing and drooling.

“Get up and act like a captain, the Dawn ship is your masterpiece, you are the captain of the Dawn ship for life, what are you doing?” Dawn Lucius yanked Rodney Cruise up and held him upward. Rodney Cruise was like a puppet on a string and let Dawn Lucius shake him, his feet were shaking as if they were a pendulum.

“You let go of him.” Kenny Jr. Clooney pulls Rodney Cruise from Dawn Lucius’ grasp in an attempt to pull him back to normal.

“Get out of my way, he’s not going to end it until he talks.” Dawn Lucius pushed Kenny Jr. Clooney worked hard and continued to tug on Rodney Cruise’s collar.

“You’re sick ......” Kenny Jr. Clooney stormed up and pushed Dawn Lucius to the floor while Rodney Cruise wobbled like a puppet and started crying like a child again.

“Tell me, what do you mean ‘they’?” Kenny Jr. Clooney deadpanned as he nudged Rodney Cruise, forcing the question. “What does it mean to be ‘them’?”

“I ask you, what do you mean by ‘they’?”

Rodney Cruise is like a mentally deficient person, the face of the smile is frightening, a moment to point to Kenny Jr. Clooney, and a moment to point to Dawn Lucius, and a moment to pound their chests, he let out a loud laugh, tears, snot, saliva to the chest of a large soaked clothes.

“What’s ‘they’?” Dawn Lucius asked, looking at Kenny Jr. Clooney.

“Are you deaf?” Kenny Jr. Clooney yelled at Dawn Lucius, who turned his face back to stare at Rodney Cruise. “What did you say, ‘they’ were?”

“Can’t you talk properly?” Dawn Lucius got up from the floor and forced her way over to Kenny Jr. Clooney, who was still dead set on Rodney Cruise, still shoving.

“Who are you to ask me to speak properly?” Kenny Jr. Clooney stared at Dawn Lucius with the look of a man-eating beast who could be prey to anyone.

“What’s wrong with you? Do you have to take it so personally to be okay?” Dawn Lucius wasn’t about to give in.

“You bastard, you could have saved my father back then, what did you do? Huh? You could have disconnected his welding gun and you didn’t do anything, and when he finishes welding and floats off into deep space and explodes, you get out of the way.” Kenny Jr. Clooney turns around and shoves Dawn Lucius, wondering why, does deep space really drive people crazy? At this point, all three of them are showing different symptoms of insanity.

“Who are you to mention Qian Hua, you don’t deserve it, you ungrateful son.” Dawn Lucius pushed Kenny Jr. Clooney back, and the two of them wrestled together, their fists were like a tug of war, back and forth, in addition to the pain that filled their faces, they also found that Rodney Cruise ran away, the isolation door had been locked, the whole screen of the device on both their hands was a red alert, the oxygen level in the room was dropping, only Seventeen percent, if the oxygen content is below ten percent, his two brains will first become chaotic, after continuing to be in low oxygen, the body will go into shock, leaving oxygen to the brain, which is more advanced in the evolution of the species.

The two men turned the house around, finding no place to get out, and the carbon dioxide levels in the house began to rise. The two men collapsed at the foot of the wall, sweat rolling down their foreheads in large drops, at first, only their backs were soaked with sweat, and the oxygen levels continued to drop, their bodies no longer feeling anything other than exhaustion. The two men looked at each other, Kenny Jr. Clooney turned his head, Dawn Lucius turned his head after he slowly crawled towards Kenny Jr. Clooney, sweat on his clothes mixed with his saliva, dragging a long trail of water on the ground.

“Kenny Jr. Clooney, I’m sorry.” Dawn Lucius said with all his strength, vaguely. “Back then, before Qian Hua ...... engineering truck was lost, he asked me on the channel to tell ......” Dawn Lucius swallowed and continued. “He loves you ...... he ...... is sorry.” Dawn Lucius went limp as his body began to twitch, Kenny Jr. Clooney stared dead at the ceiling as his hand began to twitch slightly.

“I hate ......,” Dawn Lucius said vaguely. “It’s hopeless ......”

Rodney Cruise, an engineer who fits, but only in conditions where everything is certain, hides in a corner and looks back on his life, only to realize that he has spent most of his life in space, and less of it trying to be a father, especially the older he gets, the more he wants to be a father, and he hates the way it’s set up in his genes. The walls in the pure white room were as cold as the cliffs of an Arctic iceberg, probably because of the overdose of crying he had just done, and he kept hiccuping even though he was calmer now. His call with the Earth an hour ago, a father of sorts to do this thing to say goodbye, his wife in childbirth, and the unborn child left, Rodney Cruise is a rigorous scientist, he does not believe that people go to a place like heaven after death, but where do they go?

“Honey, where did you go with the kids? Where should I go to find you?” Rodney Cruise was at a loss, he regretted being a scientist, he regretted putting most of his life into the business of not finding his wife and children, he hated the ship, he hated the mission. Rodney Cruise felt cold, he thought of his mother, no matter what difficulties he encountered, his mother’s embrace could make him feel safe. Rodney Cruise curled up on the ground, he hugged hard to his Rodney Cruise curled up on the ground, clutching his knees, thinking of his mother’s embrace, and fell asleep.

“Who owns the Sane ship?”

“Why exactly did they come to the Kuiper Belt?”

“Are they a threat to Earth?”

“Will Stacean Lucius forgive me?”

These four questions rolled around in Dawn Lucius’ mind like a pot of boiled old tea soup. Forget it, tired, he misses Stacean Lucius wet kisses, misses Stacean Lucius fleshy palms, misses Stacean Lucius speaking in his sleep when the hands dance, he always sleeps horizontally, his feet always put on Dawn Lucius face pressure Dawn Lucius face a little pain, kicked his face pain.

“Doctor Lucius, wake up.” Dawn Lucius opened his eyes and found Kenny Jr. Clooney’s palm resting just above his face.

“I thought it was my son who kicked me.” Dawn Lucius said, sweeping around.

“Get lost, Qian Hua is your uncle, what am I to you?”

“Son!” Dawn Lucius said flirtatiously, Kenny Jr. Clooney just stopped slap down smoothly, hit Dawn Lucius’ tears, he yelled. “There’s something wrong with hitting your cousin so hard.” Dawn Lucius rubbed his face and stood up.

“How did the oxygen come back?” Kenny Jr. Clooney muttered to himself as he surveyed the house, even sniffing the plants on the floor.

“Where’s the dog, sniffing around?” Dawn Lucius covered her face and walked to the front door.

He raised his hand, woke up the screen, opened the door button, clicked down, found the door opened smoothly, he walked straight out, rushed to the watchtower, Dawn Lucius hurriedly checked the ship’s data, everything was normal, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. At least, for the time being, there is no fear of life, Kenny Jr. Clooney followed Dawn Lucius’s example and checked the data, and then looked at his own life characteristics, he was suddenly exposed to the road. “What about Psychopath Cruise?”

“Chang’E.,” Dawn Lucius said, cocking her head thoughtfully.

“I’m in!” The sweet female voice hasn’t changed.

“You saved us?”

“Yes!”

“It saved us?” Kenny Jr. Clooney questioned loudly after hearing Chang’E’s answer.

“Why?” Dawn Lucius ignored Kenny Jr. Clooney as he continued to ask Chang’E.

“For the mission!”

“In your setup, the mission is the highest priority, right?”

“Yes!”

“Who is the executor of the Black Knight program?” Dawn Lucius asked.

After a while, Chang’E did not respond. Artificial intelligence will actually play dumb, its calculation speed is not the fastest?Dawn Lucius’ heart beat a knot.

“Chang’E!” continued Dawn Lucius.

“I’m in!”

“Tell me, how did you save us?”

“I detected a threat to the mission and removed Rodney Cruise’s access and restored oxygen.”

“So who is the captain of the Dawn ship now?” Dawn Lucius changed the way she asked the question.

“No one!”

“And will the mission be completed?”

“There is a twenty-seven percent chance that it will be completed.” Chang’E still answered sweetly.

“Would it improve the completion rate if there was a longer machine?”

“Will. The probability of completing the task is sixty-four percent.”

“Can I be named captain?” Dawn Lucius asked, looking at the camera.

Chang’E fell into contemplation again.

“Chang’E?”

“Yes!” Dawn Lucius was relieved to get an affirmative answer, and Kenny Jr. Clooney’s face was covered with questions.

“Now appoint me captain of the Dawn ship.” Dawn Lucius straightened up in front of the camera, familiar with the process because it was his design.

“Logbook 20591029, Dawn ship change captain, the former captain Rodney Cruise is no longer suitable for the mission, is appointed engineer Dawn Lucius, No. LZL0104 as the new captain, the appointment has been confirmed by Dawn Lucius himself, Dawn Lucius engineer Please acknowledge receipt of the appointment.”

“Acknowledged!” Dawn Lucius raised her left hand to shoulder level and straightened her whole body, the formal ritual for accepting an appointment.

“Dawn ship captain appointment is officially effective.” Chang’E uploaded all appointment logs and Dawn Lucius became the captain of the Dawn ship.

“Chang’E.”

“Commander Lucius.”

“Visit the Black Knight program and change the rules.”

“Is that how you use your power?” Kenny Jr. Clooney ran up to Dawn Lucius and shoved him.

Dawn Lucius gave him a look and said nothing.

“Commander Lucius, you have been granted access to the Black Knight program, do you need to cast to a hologram for playback?”

“Please play clips with multiple people appearing.” Dawn Lucius said.

“No!”

“How can you ask that?” Kenny Jr. Clooney couldn’t help but say.

“So how do I ask?”

“Chang’E.,” Kenny Jr. Clooney shouted to the camera.

“I’m here, Kenny Jr. Clooney, the engineer.” Kenny Jr. Clooney’s face grimaced when he heard Chang’E. add “engineer.” Yeah, he’s still an engineer, he continued. “Please play the most watched clip.”

The hologram began to play, but what was inside sent chills throughout their bodies as two light and shadow-like creatures, no, light and shadow-like things, floated past the dormant silo where the alien lay. The image freezes and a chill runs down the back of Dawn Lucius’ head, like someone just shot his soul out.

“Is that ...... what?” Kenny Jr. Clooney stammered.

“‘They’!” Dawn Lucius said as she looked at the framed light.

“When he said we were sacrifices, he couldn’t have been giving them to these two monsters to eat, could he? We’ve become their strawberry-flavored cake?”

“Nonsense, monsters eat the three humans sent all the way there? To be really delicious, people have long since hit the earth to open up to eat.”

“And why is it that they know the absence of Earth civilization, but they don’t come to intervene or to guide?” Kenny Jr. Clooney asked, looking at Dawn Lucius.

“I don’t know, you know, how the zoo is run?” Dawn Lucius asked as she turned to look at Kenny Jr. Clooney.

“What does zoo management have to do with humans?”

“The keepers put a circle around and put the animals in it, and there are trees to climb and swings to swing in, and the animals do what the keepers do not care, all the keepers have to do is make sure there is no killing between different species, and they play how they like, right?” Dawn Lucius glanced at Kenny Jr. Clooney, seeing him seem to understand, then continued. “But if the animal gets smart and goes over the wall to escape, or goes over the wall to reach another species, the keepers come out and exercise their right to do that, and as long as the animal is well-behaved and doesn’t break the rules, the animal is safe.”

“Oh!” Kenny Jr. Clooney nodded his head. “The light and shadow people are the keepers, we’re the animals in their zoo, and the Sane ship animals came over the wall from another area looking for us and got stopped.”

Kenny Jr. Clooney made his own conclusion, rubbing his chin hard. “So what do you think ...... we’re counting as escaping over the wall now?” Asked Dawn Lucius, looking again. “And will the keepers eat us?”

“I said you ......” Dawn Lucius has some impatience, but there is already one on the ship who has lost his mind, can not let another also be driven crazy by the problem, Dawn Lucius changed a smiley face, like to Stacean Lucius storytelling the kind of smile that continues. “You think, that form of creatures, light-like, which means that their life form has become an energy body, to eat, they may be eating space radiation, eating solar energy, or eating bottles and bottles of energy drinks, right?” Dawn Lucius saw Kenny Jr. Clooney did not understand, and continued. “So, they will not eat organic organisms like us, one is the utility of obtaining energy is very low, the second is too much trouble, so to speak, you understand it.”

“Hahahaha, cousin, you’re so funny.” Kenny Jr. Clooney burst out laughing, he was just playing a trick on Dawn Lucius.

Dawn Lucius raised his hand, paused for a few seconds and then dropped it as he headed straight for the door.

“Where are you going?” Kenny Jr. Clooney asked in a loud voice, Dawn Lucius ignored him, and Kenny Jr. Clooney followed.

Using data from the flex device, Dawn Lucius found Rodney Cruise locked in a room with artificial gravity and stable biometrics. Dawn Lucius summoned Chang’E and learned from the conversation that Chang’E had restricted some of Rodney Cruise’s access so it could regain oxygen to save them both. But Dawn Lucius thought for a moment that Chang’E was not on Dawn Lucius’ side either, it would only be on the mission’s side. This also means that if Dawn Lucius and Kenny Jr. Clooney is a threat to the mission, Chang’E will also lock them up, as to, Chang’E will again assess the mission completion rate after releasing them, it is not known.

“Commander Cruise,” Dawn Lucius and Kenny Jr. asked Rodney Cruise, who was curled up on the floor, after Clooney opened the door. “Are you better?”

The two men waited a few seconds, the man on the ground still did not move, Dawn Lucius first went up to check, he pushed Rodney Cruise’s shoulder, after no response, he turned his face to look at Kenny Jr. Clooney, shook his head. Kenny Jr. Clooney approached with a disdainful face, he pulled up his sleeve, his hand reached for Rodney Cruise’s collar, and after a firm grip he said. “Let’s get him into bed.”

The two men together with force, Rodney Cruise lifted up, looking to lift up when Rodney Cruise fraudulent popped up, viciously pushed the two men down and flashed out of the door, and locked the door, but he did not expect that, in his sleep, he thought Dawn Lucius and Kenny Jr. Clooney had died of oxygen deprivation during that time, the ship had changed captains.

“I’ll go ......,” Kenny Jr. Clooney said as he stormed up and kicked the door, cursing. “This beast has to fuck us both.”

“Chang’E,” Dawn Lucius called out.

“I am.”

“Please release Rodney Cruise from all privileges.”

“Refusal to perform.”

“Why?”

“Rodney Cruise’s rights are granted by the moon base, which has a hierarchy of rights over me, and I have no right to overstep my authority to modify the orders.” Chang’E was right, Dawn Lucius thought to herself.

“What does that mean?” Kenny Jr. Clooney was not amused, and he yelled into the air. “You’re just going to let that maniac hurt us?”

Chang’E did not speak, Kenny Jr. Clooney was so angry that he threw a few punches into the air.

“Chang’E,” Dawn Lucius said.

“I am.”

“Due to the threat that former captain Rodney Cruise poses to this mission, I order you, as the current captain, to disable all permissions of Rodney Cruise on this ship until Rodney Cruise’s permissions are restored with my consent at the end of this mission.”

“Logbook L20591030, Captain Dawn Lucius enforcing captain’s rights, restricting all Rodney Cruise’s privileges on the Dawn ship until after the mission is over and can’t be restored until authorized by Commander Lucius, enforce!” The sweet female voice, like a resourceful businessman, made everything clear, kind of like reading a contract that had nothing to lose for you.

While Dawn Lucius and Chang’E were talking, Rodney Cruise had escaped to the medical bay, where he wreaked havoc with the equipment inside, taking drugs out and mixing them together, leaving bottles, glass, and a watery mess of liquid drugs scattered on the floor. He did not intend to stop there, Rodney Cruise intended to destroy the antenna, he came to the D area, storage room, in addition to food, there is a small window at the top can be opened from the inside, the window side of the lock two suits and traction rope, he put himself into the suit, and check the traction rope, is ready to open the window, Chang’E’s orders took effect. Rodney Cruise couldn’t pull the bolt with all his strength, so he punched the door in anger and punched himself, and after falling to the ground, Rodney Cruise used his spacesuit as his armor and beat the food in the storage room.

After Dawn Lucius discovers the alarm that the ship has been sabotaged, he and Kenny Jr. Clooney rushed to the storage room. If the food is sabotaged, they won’t make it to the Kuiper belt at all, and at the current rate, they will die of thirst before they reach Jupiter due to lack of water. Kenny Jr. Clooney yells at the inside through the door, but all the doors of the ship are soundproof, so he can only vent his anger one-sidedly. Even the air can not get in and out, he can only be one-sided to vent his anger.

“Chang’E,” Dawn Lucius yelled.

“I am.” The female voice was not the least bit worried.

“Access all cameras on Dawn ship.”

“The captain is not authorized to access the camera.”

Dawn Lucius slammed her fist on the door in anger, the skin of her bones having cracked under the impact, her joints whitening.

“Chang’E.”

“I am.”

“Access security protocol LJH1201.”

“Accessed file.”

“Modify the priority of the security command, the ship is damaged will lead to the mission can not be completed, priority adjustment: when the ship is damaged to threaten the mission, the engineer has the responsibility to reduce the damage, engineering is the right to access the camera to determine the degree of damage, the implementation code: LJH1201.”

“Execution code verification successful, priority modification completed.” The female voice replied.

“What’s your name? Why do you know all the files and instructions in Chang’E’s brain?” Kenny Jr. Clooney wondered.

“Don’t forget, I don’t believe in AI, so when I designed the AI back then, I secretly put in some instructions that only I knew about.” Dawn Lucius poked her temple.

The cameras turned on and the two men’s hearts clenched and their necks swelled with anger when they saw the miserable state of the medical bay and storage room.

“The bastard ......,” scolded Kenny Jr. Clooney. “What’s he doing in an astronaut suit?”

“He’s supposed to be trying to sabotage the antenna.” Dawn Lucius raised her hand and pointed to the top of the ship.

“I’ll go ......” Kenny Jr. Clooney was even more furious as he cursed again at the metal door. “You are going to destroy the antenna designed by the old man, can I let you go?” Kenny Jr. Clooney turned his head viciously to look at Dawn Lucius said. “Open the door.”

Before Dawn Lucius had a chance to say anything, Kenny Jr. Clooney clicked the open button on the flexible device, the door pulled upward, drinking water bubbling with food, like a mudslide rushed out, and Dawn Lucius was put down in the process, hitting his head hard on the floor. They did not expect that Rodney Cruise rushed out the moment the door opened, he pounced on Kenny Jr. Clooney, riding him, using his fist as a hammer, while smashing Kenny Jr. Clooney’s head while roaring: “Let you steal my place, let you steal my place, let you steal my place ......”

Dawn Lucius tore into shouting, Kenny Jr. Clooney did not move, where he lay, a red spread out.
