Scalavous

Sclavous

On one faithful day, I was ten months old, equivalent to a ten year old. Our home world was about to explode. Forcing my parents to put me and my furry companion into a pair of shield bubbles. They kissed me goodbye and placed me in my bubble. Then they launched us into outer space.

As the planet exploded, the octosclavous(outlawed superhumans) contained the explosion with a gigantic shield. The force of the explosion separated me and Griz, and I was devastated. A few days later a starship came through the sector. The sphere I was in was tractored into the ship's shuttle bay.

Inside I was wrapped in a blanket and checked out by the ship's doctor McDean. Then the ship's captain came down and asked," Is our little space traveler alright?" McDean answered," She is in peak condition, but I can't understand her." Captain Tracker stooped down to my level and looked at me. I looked back at him, with my cheeks streaked with tears.

Finally, he laughed," We'll take care of her and teach her English." Then he grabbed my hand and led me up to the bridge. When the commander saw me, he intelligently spoke," You found a little Sclavous sir, they get powers around a year old. This one may be half their age." I walked past him to one of the charts looking at it. Lieutenant Juana, the communications officer, came over. Then she asked," Where is your little one?" I pointed to the blue colored dot and beamed," Sclavous! (superhuman)." Commander Frank looked over at

the chart then the viewing screen and asked," Where is the planet Sclavous anyway?" I walked over to him and pulled on his sleeve and whispered," Sclavous, kabloey," then I mimicked something exploding. Juana translated," If I understood correctly her plant exploded."

She looked down as I hugged her leg crying. Captain Tracker announced,'' We're going to keep this girl aboard, Juana, you're in charge of her." Lieutenant Juana stuttered," Captain, how can I with my work?" I laughed," Juana, Jezzruanda." Spock observed," Lieutenant, she has already picked up your name, and I think told hers." Captain Tracker chuckled," Jezz, aye and your last is Ruranda." I just playfully mocked him in my own language.

Chapter Two: Disbanded

Over the next two years the crew grew fond of me, even if I talked back. I have learned to speak and write English. But I did still mutter in my own language when I was thinking or irritated. Captain Tracker had discovered I loved to pilot through some lessons I would have done at the academy. He even let me pilot the ship when we were cruising through the stars, with supervision of course.

One day I was doing some lessons with Doc McDean. When the ship went on red alert. The doctor ordered," Jezz to your room now!" I dashed out of the sick bay and towards my quarters. I was thrown against the bulkhead as the ship was rocked by another explosion.

When I got to my quarters the fighting had grown more severe. I sat down and listened to the explosions outside the ship. Several times the ship wide com came on giving orders to the crew. After a few hours the explosions peppard out. I was able to lay down and go to sleep finally. The next morning Juana came to me and explained that they had been fighting an eleven ship. But nothing important on the ship had been hit.

A year later the Enterprise was docked above the earth. Captain Tracker brought me to Galaxy Traveler academy to take the exam that could put me officially into the fleet. A few days later an admiral brought the results to where I was staying with Capt. Tracker. The admiral congratulated me on passing with a record score. On the bad side Captain Tracker was told the Enterprise was disbanded, he was being ranked up to admiral. While I was going to a ship named the G.R. Voyage.
