Lost in Space

Chapter 5: The Galactic Heist

5G-189 got a hold of our communication again. "You can't get away that easily, Jordan!"

"Looks like I did. Now I must stay farther away from you while you try to catch us again. Who's the dumb one now? Sorry for the taunting, but it looks like you will have to figure out how to get me when I am just outside of the Gliese 581 star system. See you later!" I was arrogant. I know it will not be like this for long. In fact, I may only have just a short amount of time before she will catch up to me again.

"Ugh... Fine! You win this time, but mark my word! I will catch you. When I do, you will wish to see your dreaded place called Earth again. I will be coming back with my mothership!"

"Good luck trying, and goodbye!" I turned off the communication. Wait... did she say mothership? I should be worried about that.

"Hmm... I need to figure out how to take out their ship. How can I do that if they escaped!?!" Haha, 5G-189. You should have planned on that—wait a minute, I did not have a plan either. "I need to go back to the mothership."

I think that four hours have passed since I escaped Gliese 581. It sure was scary. I will not doubt that. I do have one question. Could it be that Gliese 581g may not be the only planet reformed as a human cleansing site? I feel like I am going to run into another one of those planets sooner or later. I can feel it. I guess it is just an idea, or I am jumping to conclusions. Either way, I better stay focused. Who knows what 5G-189 is actually doing.

5G-189 made it to her mothership. "I need to figure out how to get Jordan and Stephen, along with the rest of the people on that ship, but how?"

"5G-189, may I have a little word with you?"

5G-189 turned around to look at the person behind her "Oh... and who is this?"

"It is 3A-932. One of your higher-level admins of the ship. I need to have a talk with you."

"Gladly, follow me to the office." Just how big is there ship? Oh wait, it is a mothership, no telling how big it is. "So... is there anything you need to inform me about?"

"I was just going to ask, what were you doing while you were gone?"

"Very glad that you asked. I have two people I am tracking. It is a bit frustrating that I do not have any papers on them, but I do know how to track them down."

"Could you give any names?"

"Jordan Kyser and Stephen Blaine. These are the two people that I am planning to put on top watch. They have been nothing but trouble to me. They escaped twice, one of which was very recent. No need to worry. Once we are within 100 million miles of that ship they are flying, we can have a signal of where they are located. It is only a matter if they are within that range."

"That is a very wide range if you ask me." It sure is 5G-189. One more reason why we are even more screwed than we were.

"I always stay a few steps ahead. I have to make plans on top of plans. You cannot afford to allow a plan to fail if you do not have a backup plan. Plus, you need a plan on top of that."

"How do you do all of that?"

"I have my ways. Anyways, the 100 million miles are so I can tell who is remotely close to me. It is particularly useful in the situation we are having to deal with."

"Then we have no time to waste."

"Indeed. Now... we have to hurry up and figure out what to do about Jordan and Stephen."

Meanwhile, I have no idea where I am going. All I hope for is to stay away from 5G-189 as I possibly can. "Eh... so... we are temporarily safe from her... for now"
