Amiron. Lost Ship

The starship Amiron had been in search of new worlds for 375 years when its computer failed. Dan and company were given the job of first contact.

‘Now, Dan and Reeas, please come here.’

We stood opposite Zelda3 which was unnerving as she was so attractive.’

‘Close your eyes,’ she said.

‘What do you see?

‘I can see your outline. Reeas said.’

‘Yes, I can also see you, but vaguely.’

‘Good,’ she said.

‘Now, please go to the twenty-third Level of meditation!’

‘What?’ I said, 'that’s not possible, is it?’

‘Yes, it is, you are now able to access more deeper levels now that you are in this universe,

now again, close your eyes.’

After two minutes, she said, ‘Now, what do you see?’

Reeas said, ‘I can see a space ship?’

‘Yes, I also can see it, what is it?’

‘Please,’ Zelda3 said, ‘just concentrate for a while.’

After five minutes, she said, ‘Now what can you access? What are you conscious of?’

‘I could now focus on the inside of the ship!’ I said. ‘And you, Reeas? What are you aware of?’

Reeas said, ‘Yes, I can also access the inside of the ship, and I am trying to access the

records from the computer.’

‘Very good,’ Zelda3 said. Now, you can open your eyes again.’

‘What ship is it?’ I said.

‘That is your next mission.’

‘Really,’ Reeas said?

‘Yes, that ship has been travelling through space for three hundred and seventy-five years!

It left its own planet to search out appropriate local star systems but got into difficulties.

The ships computer did a maintenance job on itself and failed. That was one hundred and

fifty-two years ago. Since then they have been simply hoping to find a Planet suitable to settle on.’

‘Wow,’ I said. ‘it’s the classic lost-in-space scenario.’

‘Yes,’ Zelda3 said, 'and it is no joke.’

‘No,’ I said, ‘I didn’t mean it to be.’

Maybe I’m being a bit too ‘Dan Sherman.’ I thought?

'Their home Planet, has long been technologically advanced beyond the ships

abilities, I want you to go to the ship and update the computer, and any other part of the

ship which needs improvement. There is also one member of the crew who is a potential trainee-

Guardian, I want you to access her, and report the data to me, her name is Tyren. As you now know, their home planet is called Amiron, and yes, it is in the humanoid

universe, Please access Amiron and make sure the ships abilities are on par with their home

planet. You can then send the ship back. As you know, it will only take

several years to return home.’

‘How far from the Veritalanian-Meridian is it?’

Reeas said.

‘That is the trouble, It will contact the meridian in less than five days.’ Now, I was

starting to see the details of this little Mission. If the ship contacts the Veritalanian-

meridian it will be catapulted at enormous speed into the non-humanoid universe.

Don’t ask me to give you the exact speed, as no one knows, yes, my student friends, that’s

right, not even the Guardians know as it changes all the time. The other troubling detail is the trajectory will put it online to contact the Groveelion border. The Groveelions,

my student friends, are not very nice people, well, they are not people exactly, but cloud-like beings

which don’t like to be disturbed, in fact they are something like the Llantrea, yes, you got it, they like to dominate space. ‘The Groveelions have already tried to warn the ship, but as you know, the ship cannot pick up any signal from the Groveelions as the ship isn’t in the same space never mind the same radio frequency, not that the Groveelions have radio. So you see the difficulty.

Dan, Reeas, do you understand the implications of this mission?

‘Yes,’ said Reeas. ‘We have to get there before five days.’

‘Why was this situation allowed to get so near the critical point?’ I said, feeling I might

have said the wrong thing.
