If you could leave the earth and let everything behind to explore the universe - would you?

Catja, a young woman, just finished university, gets the chance to see new galaxies. With her captain Luke and the spaceship-technican Pablo her journey in the year 2759 begins.

Humans already had their first contact with aliens long ago and now Catja, Luke and Pablo have to meet new discovered species. Learn their language. Study their habbits. Make experiments for physics, biology and geology on their planets.

After some time, they meet another crew with the same mission, but what these people are talking about is not what they would ever imagine. Everything ist not what they think it is. Or is it?

---------

This is my first story in English as a native German-Speaker. So please dont be too harsh on me. Of course you can correct me, when I am wirting something wrong, but please as a helpful advice.

The Captured (free version) by RothuaAK
1 part Complete
It begins near the end, with a man intent on destruction, who feels most of his humanity has gone. As with so many others. Set in a future where almost all sentient life on earth no longer exists. Yet something remains. People continue to live as if nothing has changed, unaware that they are no more than copied memories running in an artificial substrate. In writing The Captured I've tried going some way to explore what defines sentience. And considered the following: Would a machine entity recognize the distinction between itself and biological life - if it could replicate thought and action? And if it could recreate the exact function of a living being what difference does it make whether as flesh or machine? But also this is a human story, though sometimes viewed from an alien perspective... Blurb: [Life is going well for Torbin. A successful career, a happy marriage. Then something strange happens ... and again. So he begins to wonder: has it all been a lie? There is someone who claims to have the answers, a man returned from the past - from the dead. Only it seems someone else wants the truth to remain hidden. An alien visits Earth to study its people. Disguised as a human, her involvement goes far beyond mere observation. She becomes embroiled in a struggle to save what remains of humanity. But already a machine intelligence has transformed Earth into an unrecognisable world, and continues to spread ceaselessly across the galaxy. Yet there is one way to stop them, a weapon held by an old enemy that could itself wipe out all sentient life. There are those who believe they can survive the ultimate destruction. But at what cost?]

In her grasp: pure cosmic power─every star, every mystery, every infinite possibility. She is the beginning and the end. The creator and the destroyer. A force of a woman with universes in her veins and hell on her tongue. With that much power, following the rules becomes... inconvenient. But breaking them? Oh, that's where her fun begins. And playing the Space Jam? Too damn easy. Then there's that weird British alien hero-guy. Most people just call him the Doctor. Brilliant, infuriating, heartbreakingly kind. An old madman with a funny ole box who's spent almost all his lifetimes trying to keep others at an arms distance and running toward danger. But somehow, he finds himself sprinting after her. Because he's never been able to resist a bad girl. Especially one who holds more power than she knows what to do with. But, that's a lie. She knows exactly what she's going to do with all that power. It'll be the grandest of all grand slams. The funniest of all funny jokes. The craziest of all crazy ploys. The biggest win in all of time and space. She'll tear down the entire fucking system. And she would LOVE to see someone stupid enough to try and stop her. ▂ ✶ ▂ ✶ ▂ ✶ ▂ ✶ ▂ 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜! ᴛᴇɴᴛʜ ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀ x ᴏᴄ ᴇʟᴇᴠᴇɴᴛʜ ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀ x ᴏᴄ
