Journey to the World of Seven Kingdoms

Training Day

Since I was going on this next mission, which was called the Endurance mission, I needed to get training. So I started training with the crew I will be leading. Our pilot was a gentleman named Jeffrey Cole, Jessica was our mission specialist and our science/engineering specialist was an Asian gentleman named Win Yin Chang. All of whom were in the conference room with Professor Chastain when Hannah and I were questioned about the anomaly that brought us hear.

After I met my crew I began my training. I had to learn how to pilot the ship incase something happened to Cole. I had to know what all the buttons do. Now the ship that we were going to be traveling threw space was basically a ring of pods and models with a central docking station at the center. The models we would stay in and the ring would rotate at approximately 5.5 rpms producing artificial gravity for us. The ship was called Endurance because it had to be durable traveling through the harsh environment of still needed to know what zero gravity felt like and to do that we had to ride in a plane called the vomit comet.

In the vomit comet we experienced approximately 25 seconds of zero gravity. Some of us figured out why it was called the vomit comet. I personally enjoyed being weightless for a few seconds. The trick was to not eat anything right before riding. However it is not a good idea to go on it feeling super hungry.

When talking with Cole I find out that he was also fighter pilot. He actually enlisted unlike me I was drafted. The difference between us was he was a better pilot and I was a better leader.
