The hissing steam weaved through the extreme heat of the heavy atmosphere in Zector Zarrial. The magma bursted up, not just a few feel, but 20 feet above the sizzling star surface like an exploding volcano of ash and lava.
In a stupor, Asheni and Akin stood gazing at the ominous sunspot. They saw the immense monstrous machinery surrounding it. The machines were dementors performing the cursed dementor's kiss on the soul of Zector Zarrial. The tubes breathed in, inhaling the energy of the dissolving starspot.

Asheni and Akin found themselves relaxing in their low gravity arcade room. They were leisurely floating in the midst of the cool breeze, like a white cloud hovering in the clear blue sky, gossiping about the new rumors in school, chatting about the latest iTechnova, and complaining about the overload of work R.O.B.T gave them that day.
BEE BOO BOP BLEEP!! ...ring.
BEE BOO BOP BLEEP!! ...ring.
BEE BOO B-
"DAD!! PHONE! That ringtone is so disvego omega!" Akin noisily bellowed.
Alright! Alright! I'm getting it! And that ringtone is all extrii! We're not going to change it!"
BEE BOO BOP BLEEP! ...ring.
"DAD!!!!"
"I'M GETTING' IT! Hello, Vysellar residence?"
"Mr. Vysellar? It's me, Takan, from Starspot Energiez, there is something we must talk about."
"Sounds serious, alright what is it?"
"Well, sir, it's about the starspot, D5, the main one, especially. It's acting really unusual, strange. It's like, its fading or something, but at times, it would give off a sudden burst of white light. We're not sure if its energy or not, but it's unquestionably nuclear. It's the same with all the other starspots. We don't know what's happening. The company says we might be able to change the nuclear material into energy, take advantage of it."
"No, definitely not. That's not what we should do. Don't use that star again. Obviously, something is wrong with it, leave it alone, to cool down I guess. But we can NOT use the nuclear material. It didn't turn out great last time; it's won't get any better."
"Akin, did you hear Dad?" Asheni whispered.
"Yeah, didn't we just pass that starspot on the way home? It did look kind of weird, definitely different than before. It was pale, and definitely wasn't radiant." Akin replied.
"True, true. I wonder what happened to it. What could be affecting D5?"
The sisters sat awhile, staring at the blue cloudy designed ceiling, in intense thoughts. Curiosity rose in the girls as they pondered different possibilities and answers.
"Akin, do you think it has anything to do with the company?" Asheni muttered.
"Company, what company? What do you mean?" Akin replied in trepidation.
"Dad's company. Supposedly, they're at the top of their game. No competition, they're number one in starspot energy releasing."
Anxiously, Akin interrupted in apprehensive thought, "Are you saying that..."
"Yes. Could it be Dad's company? Could it be their drawing out too much energy?" Asheni croaked in horror and disbelief.
"OMUFO!!! It's not possible is it? It can't be! Zector Zarillians would never do that!" Akin argued.
"But think about it, D5 is the most used starspot from Starspot Energies Co., and now it's fading away! How can you just ignore that fact? The evidence is exact. I don't like it either but it's definitely a possibility."
