one out of three

chapter 2

The ship had appeared at the star system where a massive ring of asteroids were slowly orbiting an enormous gas giant planet. The ship stopped in its tracks, and simply stayed in its position,being completely stationary and still. Oris looked around the area and tried to see what was out there,in the large belt of asteroids. While looking outwards into the unknown,he saw a small,abandoned shipyard, in ruin.Though the small space station was is critical condition ,it could still be fixed in due time,and with the abundant amount of small asteroids floating about the gas giant,there had to be at least enough resources to build a few more ships like some corvettes or maybe even a frigate or two. Oris then grinned and said "Send a team to scout that repair that station ,it'll be very useful to us in our quest,i'm sure of it." He said as he sat in his chair,studying the stations design thoroughly . The station was made long ago,when humanity had just started colonizing planets like Mars and several other moons ,which was around the time of 2040 or so. Oris's ship slowly moved closer,to get a slightly more clear view of the station to see if it was really abandoned or if it was actually a trap or not. The small shuttle-craft landed on the station quietly and then began to slowly lower its landing gear began to touch the cold metal floor of the stations hanger bay.

One by one,the small salvage crew quiet surveyed the dark, decollete room in case of the chance of there being any survivors or any valuable parts worthy of bringing back to the ship. The squad leader was John Armstrong,the leader of the salvage crew and a former human soldier that was abducted from his unit by the scientists. The small team of four then went forwards,heading into an elevator and the mechanic of the team began to try to start the elevator up via a portable generator that would be able to reactivate small parts of the station like activating elevators, terminals, electronic doors and other forms of electronic devices require very little charge to activate. Once the small elevator began moving, it proceeded to lower itself deeper into the stations metallic core,until it stopped. The salvage crew was in the second level of the station now. The area seemed far less safe,with panels in the walls dangling and lights faintly flickering randomly. The mechanic spotted an operational terminal by the wall and proceeded towards the damaged the computer cautiously. The computer quietly flickered and glitched. The group then nodded to each other and took their backpacks off and proceeded to begin repairing the facility from the inside out as the small the small ship they had came from. Over time the facility began to like a Christmas tree,each section of the floating building lighting up with bright colors of white light,filled the spots of empty blackness that once filled the small station. Oris smirked as he watched the small space station slowly reactivate. The troops among the small ship that and went to repair and recover anything they could find were then stationed at the facility to gain extra ground among the galaxy and to actually have something that could actually allow them to be a threat. A force that could be reckoned with.
