AJAX DONT LEAVE ME PLEASE!!!" Gale shouted as Hunter shut the escape pod and launched it in space " I will see you again my friend" Gale watched as the ship took him to space helplessly
Hunter woke up slowly as his armour folded back in the eyepiece "What just happened?" He asked as he stood up "Atlas pulled you up here and is flying towards a space station" Luna said as she walked towards Hunter Atlas turned around on the chair "hey Hunter, how are you feeling" she said as she stood up. Luna looked at Atlas with shock "WAIT....you're a Robot?" Atlas sighed "So many species get this wrong, I am a Synthetic. I am the first of my kind. Hunter created me when he was five Hundred years old" Atlas replied as she took Hunter's Earpiece "I have to fix this bloody armour for the hundredth time" She stated as she walked off into a cabin
"Ignore her, she can be moody sometimes." Hunter said as he sat down "I guess it is time for my interview?" Luna nodded as she sat down in front of Hunter
"I don't have my recorder" She said as she searched her jacket "Do you have one, I would like to record this for reference when I publish these events"
Hunter sighed and took out a small ball and placed it on the table "Record start" he said as a hologram appeared displaying their conversation "Recording start" A female voice said out of the ball.
" May I ask what your age is Hunter?" Luna asked cautiously as she fiddled with her finger."I am Two thousand and one years old" Hunter said casually as he sat forward
"Wait.....HOW OLD?" Luna asked shocked "Atlas said that you was Five Hundred Years old but I didn't know if she was kidding me"
Hunter smiled at Luna and nodded "Yeah.. I am Two thousand years old, How old are you?"
Luna's eyes stayed wide open with shock as she struggled to get her words out "I.....I..I am Twenty four" She said as she began to calm down. "Where do you come from and what species do you belong to?"
Hunter smirked deviously "Well. I am from the Planet Micassia which belongs to the Andromeda System, my species are called the Forerunners. We are actually the first beings to ever exist in the known universe"
Luna remained calm and asked calmly "Planet Micassa?" She asked pronouncing the planet wrong
"In English it is pronounced, ME CASS SEE YA" Hunter replied calmly then turned and shouted " ATLAS COME HERE!"
Luna Jumped slightly and Atlas walked out tossing the earpiece to Hunter "Stop getting that armour damaged all the time, It is frustrating to repair. Now what do you want?" Hunter smiled softly "What station are we headed to please?" He asked calmly as he switched off the recorder.
"We're headed to the abandoned Pluto star station" Atlas replied as she sat back into the co-pilot's seat "Now strap in, Fiona is passed out by the way and I have strapped her down." Hunter nodded and sat next to Luna as he put a strap over both of them "You may want to hold me tight" He said calmly as the ship started to speed up
Luna grabbed Hunter hard as the ship shot forward nearing the speed of light. "You may see Ghosts Luna!" Hunter said as they both passed out.
