               Erick left for his work in NASA, for his 53rd day of his "out of galaxy" training. He's trained in extreme heats and freezing colds and every day there's a different type of training.

               Erick pulls up to the main gates. "Hey, Erick. Don't got anything bad in here do ya?" Asked the Head officer at the main gate. "Have to ask that and check my car everyday, Jimmy?" Asked Erick with a smirk on his face. "Just doing my job." Says Jimmy as the main gate opens. " I'm sure your job must be so exhausting." Yells Erick sarcastically as he laughs and drives through the gate.

             Erick drives toward the building as he drives passed all the displays of fake or old used, space shuttles, rockets or small satellites. Mind you they can't have HUGE displays. Most satellites are the size of small buildings and can't really be displayed. But other small things can be.

Erick scans his id every day just to get into work "Hey Erick. How're the kids?"
" Just fine Sebastian." Replies Erick
Sebastian's the type of person that always wears a half million dollar suit and boasts about how much money he has, but besides that Erick and Sebastian have been friends for five years. Since Erick joined NASA, Sebastian has been making Erick feel "at home," while at work. Sebastian has been there for ten years but mainly stays behind the computer and out of the way of the people doing the actually space expeditions.

"This has gotta be, like the fiftieth time you've come in to train for that, find new home, expedition." Says Sebastian surprised how long the trainings been going on for.

"Fifty third to be exact." Replies Erick.
"You've gotta be joking?" Says Sebastian
"Not even a little."

You would think because NASA is the biggest space company in North America that everyone that works there is always nice to new people but they're not. Not only that, it smells horrible in the training part of NASA. I mean there shouldn't be any bad smell, or even any smell at all because space doesn't have a scent. You can't smell space. One sniff out there would kill you in seconds.

        In case you think NASA is glitch free because of its countless amounts of space expeditions.... you're wrong. In fact, a 17 year old high school student that didn't even work for NASA, or even had a job for that matter, just EASILY found a huge glitch in NASA's system and now works for us. A 17 YEAR OLD, WITH NO JOB, FOUND OUR BIGGEST FLAW. And we thought our generation was the smartest.

          Erick and Sebastian split when Erick reaches the training section of NASA.

   "See ya man. Good luck," Sebastian says as he walks away from Erick

     "Yeah thanks man."

      Erick walks through the doors of training and there it is.., that big woof of bad smells Erick smells almost everyday. But something was wrong. Nobody was even waiting at the training station, let alone on the course. Erick had no idea what was going on. "LEON?" Erick yelled his training partners name. "LEON?"

Erick looked everywhere. No sign of anyone in the training section. Than he heard murmuring voices coming from the only office in the training section. Office 34. Erick looks up on the door to see the big words on the glass pane of the door. "Leon Ciplinq." Erick reads.

Erick opens the only door that didn't squeak in the entire training section "Hey Erick, c'mon in man." Leon says inviting Erick in.

"Where is everybody?" Asks Erick as he closes the door behind him.

"Boss gave them the day off because we are all gonna be working way harder now,"

"Wait. What? Harder?" Asks Erick surprised

"Oh you haven't heard? You're not gonna like this."
