Into The Outer Track (a Solarpunk Utopian novel by W. J. Manares) [COMPLETE]

Chapter 1 - Yellow and Black

Senemrac the Specter (SS) and Otlarallac the Overseer (OO) were not astronauts by trade, but they were skilled engineers and builders who had a deep passion for space exploration. They knew that the survival of their species depended on their success in this mission, and they were determined to do whatever it took to make it a reality.

To aid them in their task, they enlisted the help of an expert space vehicle builder, Anitnelav the Aerowoman (AA), who had traveled from the constellation, Cygnus, to lend her expertise to the project. She taught them how to read the blueprints that had been provided to them, which detailed the design and construction of each of the four space vehicles namely; SV Hwangsaek, SV Nyeusi, SV Weiß, and SV Kayumanggi.

AA: Alright everyone, gather around. We need to discuss our plan for building the space vehicles for our journey from Wolf1069b to the half-broken Earth.

OO: Agreed. We have limited resources, so we need to come up with an efficient design that can withstand the journey through the Outer Track.

SS: I suggest we divide the tasks among ourselves. We can assign one person to oversee the propulsion system, another to handle life support, and so on.

Survivor 1: That sounds reasonable. We should also consider using sustainable materials and energy sources to ensure the longevity of our vehicles.

Survivor 2: Absolutely. We need to be mindful of our carbon footprint, even in space. Plus, it will help us conserve resources and increase our chances of survival.

AA: Good point. We should also conduct thorough research on the Outer Track. It's an unknown space, and we need to be prepared for any challenges we might encounter.

OO: We should expect extreme temperatures, cosmic radiation, and potential asteroid fields. We need to design our space vehicles to withstand these harsh conditions.

SS: Cooperation is crucial here. We should pool our knowledge and skills together to tackle each aspect of the space vehicles. We can learn from each other and come up with innovative solutions.

Survivor 1: That's right. We should also establish a communication system between the space vehicles to ensure that we stay connected throughout the journey.

Survivor 2: And let's not forget about contingency plans. We should have backup systems in place in case any of the space vehicles encounter technical failures.

AA: Cooperation and survival go hand in hand. We must work together, support each other, and prioritize the well-being of the group. Our collective survival depends on it.

OO: Absolutely. We are all in this together, and by cooperating, we increase our chances of reaching the half-broken Earth safely.

SS: Let's remember that each space vehicle is essential for our survival. We need to ensure that every vehicle is well-built and equipped to withstand the challenges of the Outer Track.

Survivor 3: Agreed. We must stay focused, utilize our skills effectively, and maintain a positive mindset throughout this journey.

Survivor 4: And let's not forget to celebrate our successes along the way. It will boost morale and keep us motivated during the long journey.

AA: Alright, let's get to work. We have a lot to do, but with our combined efforts, we can overcome any obstacles and reach the half-broken Earth, our home.

OO: Together, we will build the best space vehicles possible and conquer the challenges of the Outer Track. Our survival depends on it.

SS: Let's make this journey a testament to the power of cooperation and resilience. We're all survivors, and we will thrive in the face of adversity.
