 "All hands to stations!" Mr. Arrow's voice called out as you and Jim reached the deck. The crew went scurrying around, doing whatever they were supposed to do to launch the ship. "Loose all solar sails!"

 The crew did just that, the beautiful white sails being released from their ties. As you and Jim looked up at them, the two of you accidentally bumped into a crew member who was tugging at a rope with others. The crew member just scowled, and continued his work. Looking over the side of the ship, you could see the ship was lifting up into the air. Mr. Arrow called out more orders as the solar energy from the sun was caught in the sails, and they seemed to brighten up. As they charged up, you and Jim were suddenly lifted up into the air since you were leaving the atmosphere, and there was no gravity.

 "Mr. Snuff, engage artificial gravity!" Captain Amelia called out to the fleshy alien that you bumped into you when you got on the ship.

 He gave her a salute and a few fart noises before pressing down on a device, initiating gravity on the ship. You and Jim landed smoothly on your feet, unlike Delbert who landed flat on his face. He hasn't gone through the numerous riding fails on Solar Surfers like you and Jim have. Sometimes you would be forced to do quick leaps off the Surfers before either of you could crash.

 "South by southwest, Mr. Turnbuckle, heading to one-zero-zero," Amelia ordered the helmsman. 

 "Aye, Captain," the said grey, multi-tentacled sea slug replied, turning the wheel. "To one-zero-zero." 

 The ship lifted up even further, tilting up into the air, but you stayed in place.

 "Full speed, Mr. Arrow, if you please," Amelia commanded. 

 Mr. Arrow leaned down to the communicating line, where his voice would travel down to whoever was on the receiving end. "Take her away."

 As the engines powered up, the captain told Delbert, "Brace yourself, Doctor."

 The said man just did a childish imitation of her words. 

 You and Jim quickly climbed starboard rigging, holding on tight to the ropes as the engines roared to life. Then, the ship bolted forward into the Etherium. Delbert was not prepared, and  he was launched back into the side of the ship. You stared in awe at the sights around you. Winged bird-like animals with tails flew beside the ship. The blue and purple mix of color of the Etherium was beautiful. You had never been this far out into space, and you were loving every second of it. It was a dream come true. It almost made you forget of all your worries. 

 You felt someone's stare right next to you, so you looked to the side to see the culprit was Jim. He quickly looked back into space, and breathed out a, "Whoa."

 Looking at where his eyesight was now directed to, your eyes widened once you saw the beasts. There were numerous amounts of giant whale-like creatures flying all around the RLS Legacy. Blue with fins, duck billed noses, flowing tails, and large teeth. They were magnificent. One of the creatures even looked at you and Jim before flying forward. 

 "Upon my word. An Orcus Galacticus," Delbert said in awe. He pressed a button on his suit, and a camera suddenly came out in front of him from the suit. "Smile!" Delbert said to the creatures as he put his eye up to the camera, leaning forward to one of them.

 "Uh, Doctor, I'd stand clear of the-" Amelia tried to warn him. 

 Liquid shot out from the creature's cavity on it's back, dousing Delbert completely. Seeing that, you lowered yourself on the rigging a bit, away from the Orcus Galacticus.
