"Ladies and gentlemen, Celestial Travelers and Wanderers of the Universe, May I have your attention, please. We stand at the starting of a celestial journey that blurs the boundaries of ordinary space and time. This is an announcement for the imminent departure of the Pandora Express from Station no 1.048596%. I repeat , Pandora express will be leaving Station no. 1.048596% in 8 minutes." The announcement was echoing on the platforms of Starrail Express.

It is 25 November 2036, Humanity has evolved and unlocked travelling the 4th and 5th dimension , The time and space itself. Starrail Express the ultimate creation that made humans, Celestial Travellers. Though the universe is still explored mere 1 percent or 1.048596% to be precise and this is where Pandora Express got its name. Humans are constantly exploring the over growing universe and leaving their footprints.

According to news , Sun will be radiating the largest Solar storm which will render Pandora Express useless for the next few weeks destroying it's Core. The platform was nearly empty and the express was notifying it's departure.

A young boy and girl, their footsteps echoing in rhythm with the approaching departure, raced towards the platform. Aster, tall and lean, his blonde hair that distinguishes him explicitly from the clouds, possessed eyes with star-shaped pupils that glimmered like twinkling stars. Beside him, was Citalia, as attractive as the moon in the night sky, adorned with pale-white skin and intertwined , long blonde hair. Her eyes as empathic as godly gaze, star-shaped pupils that could enchant you.Hand in hand, Aster and Citalia sprinted towards the awaiting coach. The Starrail will be useless for the next few weeks so they had only a few days before they had to completed their project on Star NYMPHS 500.

Aster : I already told you , we should have completed this project before August itself but you are too much of a procrastinator.

Citalia : We still have few days, and it's fine to be honest, Starrail will reach to NYMPHS in about 15 mins, we will still be able to finish it. Don't be too impractical.

Aster : I am just getting very weird vibes, This is my first time seeing Pandora Express empty. Otherwise, it was already filled and we barely used to get any seats. 

As they reached the entrance, the metallic doors closed with a loud hiss.  A low hum could be heard as it was the initiation of the starrail's engines awakening. Aster and Citalia sitting near the window while Aster was charging his self-defense laser gun.

With a very loud roar, the engines thundered to life, producing a noise as loud as a raging storm. The rhythmic "chook chook" of the train, just like a person's heartbeat, reverberated through the platform. Then, Starrail started overcoming gravity like magic, and the train, with a sudden burst of velocity exceeding 500000 mach(617,400,000 Kmph), lifted off the ground.The platform dwindled beneath them as the Pandora Express ascended into the cosmic universe. The landscape shifted from the familiar grounds of Station no 1.048596% to the vastness of space. As the train was ascending , it reached the speed in light years.
