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

Chapter 12 - Flight of the Fleet

The Survivors' fleet embarked on a remarkable journey from the exoplanet Wolf1069b to reach their utopian vision of a revitalized Earth. The time for departure approached and the Survivors were now on board their respective space vehicles.

The yellow space vehicle, SV Hwangsaek (H1), symbolizing resilience and optimism, stood tall among the others. The black space vehicle, SV Nyeusi (N2), representing strength and determination, emanated a sense of purpose. The white space vehicle, SV Weiß (W3), embodied purity and harmony, while the brown space vehicle, SV Kayumanggi (K4), reflected the earthy connection and unity of the Survivors.

OO and SS contacted the survivors assigned in each Engine Rooms as they prepared to start the machinery for the flight into the Outer Track, leaving behind the surface of the exoplanet Wolf1069b where they had squatted for 85 years.

OO: Survivors in the ER of each space vehicle, the time has come to activate the engines and propel ourselves towards the half-broken Earth. This is a momentous occasion, one that will mark the beginning of a new chapter for all of us.

SS: Indeed, we have come a long way from our humble beginnings on Wolf1069b. Now, it's time for us to harness the power of our technology and the resilience of our spirits to navigate the challenges that lie ahead.

Survivor 12H1ER: Are we ready to start the machinery? I'm a bit nervous about this.

OO: It's natural to feel nervous, Survivor 12 of SV Hwangsaek's Engine Room. But rest assured, we have prepared extensively for this moment. Remember, the machinery has been thoroughly tested and AA had worked tirelessly to ensure its readiness.

Survivor 13N2ER: What if something goes wrong? What if the engines fail?

SS: Survivor 13 of the Engine Room of SV Nyeusi, we have accounted for every possible scenario. We have redundancies in place and AA who is in Cygnus now is standing by to address any issues that may arise. Trust in her expertise and in the strength of our collective determination.

Survivor 14W3ER: I've been assigned to the ER. What should I expect?

OO: Survivor 14 of SV Weiß, your role in the Engine Room is crucial. You will be responsible for monitoring the machinery, ensuring its smooth operation, and promptly alerting us if any anomalies occur. Your attention to detail and quick thinking will be vital.

Survivor 15K4ER: Will we be able to communicate with the other Engine Room teams in the other space vehicles?

SS: Absolutely, Survivor 15. We have established a communication network that spans across all space vehicles. This will allow us to share information, troubleshoot together, and support one another throughout the journey.

Survivor 15K4ER: That's reassuring. Knowing that we're not alone in this gives me a sense of confidence.

OO: And that's exactly what we need, Survivors in the Engine Rooms. We are a team, united by a common purpose. Together, we can overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

As the survivors prepared to start the machinery, a mixture of excitement and determination filled each ER. Each assigned survivors understood the importance of their role and the collective effort required to ensure a successful journey into the Outer Track.

With their hands on the controls, their departure from the past and their bold leap towards a brighter future is assured. The assigned survivors in each ER felt a surge of hope and anticipation as they propelled forward, leaving behind the surface of Wolf1069b and embarking on their extraordinary voyage towards the half-broken Earth.

They supported each other, their spirits intertwined, as they became the driving force behind the fleet's progress. With their unwavering dedication and the power of their collective efforts, they propelled the space vehicles towards their destination, ready to face the challenges of the Outer Track with resilience and determination.
