The Disease of Planet VEE

Chapter VIII The ship

Jonathan saw a small Org ship land about 30 Ft in front of them. He stopped the car. He got out some binoculars and started surveying the landed ship.

“What’s going on?” Ellery said.

“An Org is looking our direction.”

Bang! A laser hit the Astro cannon and sparks surrounded it.

Jonathan grabbed his alien gun and the sack of food and got out of the car along with Ellery. He shot only the Org out side the ship and the ran toward the ship. Ellery followed him as he hid behind the ship on side opposite the door.

Five Orgs came out from the ship and started running toward the Corvette. The Orgs ran to the car and Jonathan and Ellery slipped inside the ship.

The inside of the ship was simple. The walls looked like a clear glowing white plastic coating gray metal. Just to the right of the door was a weapon closet. Straight ahead was a door that lead to a small kitchen, the kitchen was dark, had a large white and small black patterned tile floor, plain white drywall and paint walls, a counter with a drawer and some cupboard doors, a wooden cupboard was attached to the ceiling, and two glowing tubes went from the countertop to the bottom of the cupboard. Inside one tube was a Papa Murphy’s take and bake pizza, and in the other was a pineapple. To the right there was the control room, and to the left were sleeping and relaxation quarters with five white base black mattress beds and two round white tables with four chairs at each. The chairs where similar to the Jacobson Egg chair but where made of plastic, had a wavy pattern at the top and a hole at the bottom of the back. The pattern was a light in the center getting darker toward the edges. The colors were light blue, purple, green, and orange.     

“We’ve got weapon storage, sleeping and relaxation quarters, and a control room. But what’s that?” Ellery said.

 “That is a kitchen.”

 “How can you tell?”

“That is a Papa Murphy’s take and bake pizza and that is a pineapple.”

 “How in the world can you tell what kind of pizza that is?”

“It’s the only pizza I’ve had for the past five years.”

 Jonathan sat down in one of the two control room chairs and studied the buttons, knobs, dials and levers. He then slowly lifted a red lever and the ship started rising. He watched on the view screen as the Orgs looked at the ship and started running toward it.

“Good by Corvette and hello space ship!” Jonathan said as he pushed a red button.

A green laser hit the car, Astro cannon and the Orgs leavening nothing not even ashes.

 “How did you know which button to push?”

“The control panel is the exact same as the one on the lead ship from my favorite Sci Fi series Star Ship.”

“Wow! They must have been watching our TV signals when Planet Vee came close to earth the first time.”

“I don’t think so.”

He looked under the control panel and saw a sticker. “Ah! Here it is.” The sticker read, “This control panels shape and design copyright 2007 by Space ship control panels.”

Ellery looked at the sticker and said, “Wow! Your right! They haven’t been.” 

Jonathan set the ship on a curse for Quebec and went into the sleeping and relaxation quarters where Ellery was. For once he was at peace. No more running from Orgs.

“Where are we going?”

“Where going to Quebec.”

“All right, what should we do?”
