Chapter 1: Introduction

There was a large room filled with cryo-capsules. Each one containing a different person which were sent on a mission of their own.

People clothed in white uniforms with a blue mask wrapped around their face, hovered through the hall, and pulled out the capsules, one by one.

Inside one capsule, a man lay unconscious. His eyes snapped open, and he moved his head around to see the dimly-lit room he was in.

Two droplets of water floated and merged together right before his eyes, and he also began to hover, but the straps secured around his body held him in place.

"In cryo, you don't dream at all. It doesn't feel like six years."

He strained his neck to look out the window, which was located right above his head.

"More like a fifth of tequila and an ass-kicking."

His capsule began moving, and he was pulled out to be met with a blinding light.

He saw another man float towards him as he checked his wristband. "Are we there yet?" His voice raspy as he spoke.

"Yeah, we're there, sunshine. We're there." The man patted his shoulder before tending to another person.

"You've been in cryo for five tears, nine months and 22 days. You will be hungry. You will be weak." A man called out to everyone as he informed them.

"If you feel nausea, please use the sacks provided for your convenience. The staff thanks you in advance."

The person from before, who had just woken up, directed himself towards a locker labelled 'Sully. T' and pulled it open.

The spaceship the people were currently in, headed towards a planet that looked exactly like earth.

It was located next to another incredibly large planet, which was a mix of blue and purple.

"Valkyrie 1-6, copy... Valkyrie 1-6, you are clear for de-orbit burn at 2-2-4- niner." A voice spoke over the radio.

"Copy, Venture star. Go for de-orbit burn at 2-2-4- niner." The pilots who were driving the ship responded.

A smaller ship detached from the larger one and dived down into the atmosphere of the alien planet. It cut through the thick fog and headed for the bases.

People were lined up against the wall and sat with masks on their lap, ready for landing.

"Exo-packs on! Let's go! Exo-packs on! Exo-packs on! Let's go!" Soldiers ordered as they walked past the seated men.

"Remember people, you lose that mask, You're unconscious in 20 seconds and dead in four minutes!"

The men quickly fastened their masks around their heads as the ship neared the landing pad.

"Let nobody be dead today! Looks very bad on my report."
