There wasn't much to see out the window of the spaceship except for the usual blackness of space and the sprinkles of stars scattered in organized randomness. Turning from the window, Dream looked at his crewmates. George stood awkwardly, holding his helmet in a blue space suit as he observed the ship for the millionth time. Sapnap stood next to him in his grey space suit, grinning like a madman. His helmet sat on the shelf they had that shelved various items. Bad (that's what they all called the guy who called himself "Bad Boy Halo," and sometimes addressed him as BBH) sat at a table in his black spacesuit with red accents, reading a book he had probably read many times. Dream's spacesuit was white with lime green accents that complimented his unnaturally colored lime eyes nicely.

"You guys ready?" He asked nervously, pushing his dirty blonde hair back out of his freckled face. They all nodded at him and grabbed their helmets, shoving them over their heads. It had been days since they had communicated to the other teams that traveled in front and behind them. They had almost reached Planet 454-1C; they could see it as a speck in the distance. Its sun was much more visible, shining brightly as they headed towards it. It would take a couple of days more to reach 454-1C and even more time to land. The planet's moon would pass in front of them, making them wait an extra day. But that was planned, so they all expected it. Everyone's anticipation would only grow as time passed. The three other planets that inhabited 454-1C's solar system were known as 454-2C, 454-3C, and- you guessed it- 454-4C. None of the planets in the solar system had any life, 454-1C was the only one that could've supported living things, and it didn't have any except for the humans that were coming to live on it.

All crews were getting ready to check the exterior of their spacecrafts for any damage there might be. They would see other teams out there, maybe exchange a couple of waves, then direct their ships into what they called the "Mother Hen." Mother Hen was a large vessel that had 5 ports for the different ships to dock at. Mother Hen also held various materials, animals, and other things that would be dropped off to 454-1C along with rations of food for the colonies as they built their communities. It also held a population of 1,400 people consisting of young men, women, children, and teenagers that would make up the five different starter communities. The elderly were left back on Earth with the power-hungry, criminals, and all the others who refused to leave left to perish along with the polluted, dying planet. It was agreed that certain groups of people would be advisers of different communities, looking after them and solving issues that might arise.

Dream's crew was referred to as c-1. Once they reached their territory, they would be able to choose a name for their community. People would choose which community they wanted to be part of. None of the few parents aboard could stop their children from going to a separate community. Everyone was provided with homes already, but there was only a limited amount, about 100 per community. The communities would not stretch all over 454-1C; they would do that as they settled into the world later on. There were only 5 starter communities, meaning there were only 500 houses. 500-600 of the people on Mother Hen would choose to live in different communities.

Five crew ships were holding the different advisers of each community. c-1 consisted of Dream, George, Sapnap, and Bad. c-2 included Philza (aka Phil), Techno (full name Techno S. Blade), Wilbur Soot, and Schlatt (aka Mr.J Schlatt). c-3 had Skeppy, Mega (Mega P. V. P.), Zelk, and Spifey. c-4's advisers were Sparklez (always referred to as "Captain Sparklez"), Fundy, and Tubbo. c-3 had a peculiar case where a teenager was part of the advisers, but, then again, the teenager was more intelligent and mature than average. The last set, c-5, had three members: Wisp, TapL, and Shadow Apples (aka Billy Apples). All of the advisers had been isolated with only their groups for months. It was a small price to pay for their privilege.

Crew c-1, along with all the other crews at that moment, were heading to the depressurizing room to strap themselves in the safety cables, triple-checking to make sure they were secure. After seeing that they were all secure, they pressed a button and pulled a lever, starting the process. They all winced in their spacesuits as the pressure decreased. Then the doors opened, revealing the void of space. They all looked at each other as the effect of zero gravity took them over. They all took deep breaths in as they swam through the void of space. The other crews had begun to look over their ships, careful not to miss a spot. There was no interaction with other squads. Even if they yelled, no sound could have traveled through space. Instead of yelling, Dream waved to the second-in-command of c-2, Techno. He then looked over to c-4 and waved at Tubbo. Techno nodded and continued with his inspection as Tubbo enthusiastically waved back.
