DEEP SPACE - A Short Novel

3. God of the Seas

2nd Hour, 1227, Houston Time. Leaving the Solar System.

We are lucky. Our ship's path happened to close in around Neptune's vicinity. We're on 'Free Phase' once more, so 'goodbye, nylon seatbelts'. We looked like little children when Tinkerbell zoomed past the blue planet -- huddling on portholes to take a look. It is beyond amazing, to see it that close. Trouble with warp speed is we can't enjoy the view that much. 

Okay. We're officially out of the Solar system now and we're entering the Kuiper belt. Maneuvering's gonna be a bitch in these parts, so I suppose we're gonna lose speed. That's all for now, I have to assist Chang at the cockpit.
