I waited for the shuttle to come as we were staying on the launch pad of MiraHQ. This was going to be an epic adventure.

I was part of a Space organization called Association of Space exploration and Planet life (known as ASEP), And it was an organization where we explored space and other planets. It was more like a science team, but in space. Our headquarters was the MiraHQ (Where I am right now), And it was high up in the sky. It was a huge building consisting of three launch pads and lots of tall buildings. This was our research center. It looked more like a fairy tale building.

The launchpad that we were standing on was huge. It was about 400 feet long and 500 feet wide. People used it for massive landings, like the Skeld.

A total of ten people (including me) were going to board this spaceship and head up towards another enormous ship called the Skeld. It was where we were going to do our tasks.

And I was waiting for the Space pod to be ready when I saw nine other astronauts in their colored suits. They were the ones who were going to come with me to the Skeld.


When it comes to traveling in space, we use color codes instead of our real names. So that's why my color code name is red, and I get a red suit. That's what they do on our planet. "Colors come in handy in space," our leader once said.


Then, one guy came towards me. It was White. "Hey, Red! Are you excited about this Skeld trip?" White said excitedly.

"Yeah! I bet we're going to explore and do lots of cool stuff," I said.

"You're wrong about that," Black said as He stepped in between us. He was mean and grumpy. I gave him a weird stare.

"This is just gonna suck," Black said.

"And how do you know about that?" Purple said, joining in with us.

"We're only doing practice training," Black said. "This is only training to see if you can do things appropriate in space. We're only going to try to fix the ship there, and we're only going to do tasks.."

"WHAT?!" Me and White said in dismay.

Black glared at us. "You think exploring is the first step of fun? No! There are more steps to conquer and reach! Exploring is no Funland!"

"But, I thought we all trained on our planet!" Green said.
"That's training inland," Black said, annoyed. "Were in space, and that's a whole different experience.."

For a second, I thought of why I even joined this organization.

All of a sudden, the shuttle arrived. It was a colossal ship about 40 feet long, and it landed on the launchpad. Huge gusts of debris and dust blew everywhere.

The speakers then crackled to life: "This is the Captain of the ship; please board the space pod. Launch will be in 5 minutes. Thank you"


"Oh, it looks like we have to go to the launch pad now," White said sadly.

I was stunned and shocked about what Black was saying. That let our mood down.

White let his head down in sorrow. "Nice to see you though, I hope we're friends" He then shook my hand and headed up the stairs to the ship.

I followed everybody towards the ship. I had already started making friends. That was a good sign.

But why would they give us space training? I thought there would be action in space.


We soon entered the ship and greeted the captain. The Captain would only drop us off at Skeld; after that, it was only on our own.

The captain each gave us these tablets, which gave us instructions on which tasks you have.
