It’s been fifteen years since the sun had last risen. Over time you just get used to it. No one knows why it happened. NASA and all those other space programs are trying there best to figure out why to no avail. It’s almost as if a starry blanket covered the sky and just beyond that the sun shines as it did.

Now though we finally gathered the materials and the people to properly search for a solution. And I’m part of it.

Today is the day I’m given right to possibly pass that blanket and see the light of day once again. Man this will be one great story to tell My family when I come home.

Standing before me is the crew who I am glad to assist on this mission. Our captain, Captain Bronzer tall and proud stands to give a speech to all those brave enough to assist.

“Cadets, today is a great honour. For today we venter into new and unknown territory...” Captain seems to have rehearsed his speech a lot. “We all must be brave as this is no easy task. I vow to lead the way into this new age as we rise to the occasion…” Lot of fluff there captain I know this is big but I’ve kinda been zoning out. “And finally, after all these years. we, will see the sun again!”

The crowd begins to cheer as is costmary in the situation. I of course join in but my word buddy captain who wrote that for you it was awful.

The cheers settle and finally the real fun part starts. In an orderly fashion sorted by last names the team climbs aboard the star ship Light Prayer.

Overall it takes a good hour or so to get everyone settled. I myself posted my butt right into the shields master seat. Probably the second best viewing spot as we take flight. It’s so cool to actually see us lift off the ground. Even compared to the simulations this is a sight to see. Oh right work. If we even want to breach atmosphere I need to up some shields.

Beep boop bop and up. Breach in 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. oh my huh the hell is that stuff. It’s like all oily. Like plopping through a thick globy puddle of mud but upwards. What is that ewe. I guess that explains the sun problem. We are literally covered in a muddy icky blanket. That’s the flipping problem.

This brings up so many more questions. So many more things to look into. We need samples and so many more things. However that’s for another day. For now we must work.
