Lost in Space

Chapter 15: No More Running

We had followed Mr. Grayson to a ship. "Wow... I have not used this ship in quite a while."

"When was the last time you used your ship?" I had to find out.

"I am so glad you asked. I gathered a few people to fly to a random planet and study the planet if it had sustainable life. I am not sure what the planet is called, but I remember what the aliens behaved like."

"Do you know their general behavior?"

"To be fair, they are not these aliens—"

I had to mention a more specific term. "They are called helions."

"Oh, right. Anyways, the aliens we had studied seemed to have gone extinct as soon as we left. All I know is that somebody blew up the planet."

"You wouldn't think it would be her would it?"

"Her? Oh... I would not doubt it at all. With how she behaves, there is no telling what she has done. Has she been on Earth before?"

"She told us that."

"Okay. Well... I guess we should go now. Let's take care of Helena."

Helena had taken quite a few humans, but she wanted to make sure how many. "1C-178, please report the number of humans captured."

"Exactly 52,964 humans are on the mother ship. There are 8,876 on Ship 1. There are 9,109 on Ship 2. There are 12,291 on Ship 3. Finally, there are 8,978 humans on Ship 4. That is all the main ships. The amount of the rest is over 100,000 humans." How many humans did he say exactly?

"That is a lot more than I thought, but I hoped that we could get over half a million. Regardless, we are sending the ships to their respective H.E.P.N.I.S. sites. I will go to Gliese 581g, Ship 1 will go to Gliese 832c, Ship 2 will go to T-1D. Ship 3 will go to T-1E, Ship 4 will go to HD 40307g."

"I will go send each their respective destinations."

"Thank you. We should be fine for now. If those humans can try to go after us, they cannot stop all of the ships."

"True, but they will be going after this ship first. They do not know about the other ships. Are you worried about that... even a little bit?"

"I am not worried about a human, but there is just something about those specific humans that really drives me insane. They chose to be friends with my twin brother, but they did not know that I was his twin sister, but they still choose to side with him."

"You are getting a bit—"

"Just be quiet. Don't forget, we are set for Gliese 581g. Are these humans asleep?"

"They have all been sedated. So... yes, they are asleep."

"Excellent. I will wake them up when we arrive at our destination."

An alarm had sounded. "Uhh... I will go check it out." 1C-178 had looked at the radar and spotted us. "5G-189, we have a bit of a problem."

"What is it?"

"They are back."

"Again? Wow... I do not think those humans know when to quit. They will regret fighting back after what just happened. Just intercept their communications."

"I am on it." 1C-178 was trying to contact our ship. "And..."

"Okay, we got it. Hey! Oh... Jordan and Stephen... and you also brought your friends! You all wanted to fight back?"

I am mad about what just happened, so I had to be the one to speak first. "Okay. First off, you have no reason to take our kind and KILL THEM! THIS IS NOT JUSTIFIABLE!"
