"-We have entered the solar system 11. Please fasten your seatbelts and look at the monitor screen on the upper right corner of the entry door of your compartment. We will be using zooming cameras now to show you the surface of neighboring planets of the planet Aquegor. To ensure your safety we will be flying at a fair distance from them to not get trapped in their gravitational forces."
We were listening to the announcement while sitting in our seats. This time Emma decided to sit with me on my left side, as all the seats were already occupied after listening to the voice from the microphone. Emma's eyes were furrowed as if expressing her anger for getting her seat being taken by someone else.
Everybody including me was looking at the monitor screen, even Emma gazed at the screen with her pinched eyes.
There was an image of a giant blue sphere at the screen. The camera was zooming at the blue sphere until it reached its atmosphere. The quality of the picture reduced dramatically after speeding at the atmosphere. Soon All we could see on the screen was blue water. In the beginning there was no sign of any living thing in the water, but soon I saw a horde of shark lookalike fish on the screen. I could only guess from looking at the picture, but they almost seemed as gigantic as a blue whale of my world but if the colour of their blubber was purple. They were swimming very fast in the water. From the looks of it, it seemed like this planet consists solely of water and has water creatures in it like fish and octopus etc.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
-I hope all of you are seeing the beauty of life on different planets and the mercy and favour of KING ARZELLIUS I that he saved this world for us. The school of fish you saw on the screen earlier is called Makere. It was given this name by the zoologist Shaskir of the Krundes empire.
Hmmm? It again went silent? Tell me more about this world I still want new information. Right now, for me information is like the oxygen.
"Hmmm, Krundes... If I am correct than it is one of the superpowers!" Emma wondered.
"Why are you in such shock? Is something bad with them being a superpower?" I asked her with genuine interest.
"It's not that something is bad but, the pilot didn't tell us about the Makere fish more!" Emma said with unblemished eyes.
Looking at this innocent face of hers even put me in a dilemma, what does she want to know about them. I am sure they did this announcement in the last mission as well!
"They didn't do something like this on our mission!" Xaden exclaimed in wonder.
"It is because a lot of cadets complained that they did` not get to see other planets they passed by. They wanted to see how other planets look from inside." Erick replied.
Oh, now I see why everyone was so intensely and excitedly looking at the monitor screen.
"And they are not telling us everything they should." Emma whispered in a low voice.
"Girl, what is it that you so want to know about that damn shark!?" I could not restrain my curiosity and questioned her enthusiastically.
"They are just giving us one finger to hold, I want to hold the full arm!"
"What!!?" I asked dumbfounded.
"Ehh! What I wanted to say was they are giving us fodder to keep our mouth shut to stop us from demanding steak from them." Emma gestured with her hand.
"You can talk like a dumb person too!?" I was taken aback.
Instead of saying something in return Emma just glared at me. It's not like I didn't understand what she wanted to say. I know she was saying that they are not giving us proper information about those sharks, but the real question is.... does that even matter? If they don't tell us something about some sharks. Even though I want to know more about those sharks but it's not like something bad will happen if I don't get to know about them in detail.
"Ok! I am sorry, please tell me what it is you want to know about those sharks?" I apologized to Emma and asked after she just glared at me.
"Don't you know! These sharks are used to produce nutritious food for the Royal army of KING ARZELLIUS."
"Of course, I know!"
"Doesn't seem like it!" Emma was right, I don't know shit about this world even now.
"I know! You want to know why these sharks are used as food for the Royal army of KING right?" Emma did not expect something that would make sense coming out of my mouth because she looked... she looked.. Uh... surprised. I hoped I was right because the look on her face resembled a look of disgust more than a look of surprise.
"How the heck did you come up with something that makes sense!?"
"When did I say something that didn't make sense?" I made a scowl.
"You are right! You know that there is a Royal army of many countries and empires. These small empires are all part of the KING's empire-"
"Why does he call himself KING?" I interrupted her in mid-sentence. "I mean shouldn't he call himself the emperor because he is the sole ruler of this world!"
Without saying anything Emma looked at me with eyes filled with anger and disappointment.
"I am sorry, please continue!" I sighed.
"And you know the strongest army in this whole universe right now is KING's Royal army! I just wanted to know what kind of nutritions are fed to them to make them the strongest." We were whispering this whole time but at the saying of last sentence Emma used loud voice. Because of that loud voice Albert and Melora looked at us from both benches.
I ignored their stares and kept looking at the monitor screen continuously. I gazed at Hoover who was whispering with Ellie, same as me and Emma.
After looking at them I pondered at what Emma said. It's like they are raising their cattle, but a whole planet is chosen as the cattle farm. They are serious about what they are feeding their soldiers. To think about it they cannot possibly use an entire planet as cattle farm for KING's army or is that army really that big!?
I was indulging in my thoughts when I saw the camera start zooming out on the monitor screen. Hmmm, they are travelling at a really fast speed, and they showed us only one specie on this planet? I had lot of questions in my mind.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
What? Again, an announcement?
-We are moving towards the planet Aquegor. We cannot fulfill our promise to show you every planet in this solar system because the planets are currently not aligned, and the path, we have chosen for our travel had only one planet in its way, make sure to remember that this is for the safety of our cadets!
What? What a way to keep information hidden from us!
"Che" was all that came out of Emma's mouth. Everyone else also looked disappointed. Hoover looked at me with a scowl.
"It seems like everybody is disappointed." I exclaimed with no expression.
"Why are you not disappointed?" Emma crossed her arms.
"I am as well! I included myself in 'everybody'. I am not like you who think that they are different from everybody."
Emma's right eye twitched after listening what I said, "When did I say that I am different from all of you!?" She said with gritted teeth.
"My bad!" To safe myself from another slap I apologized.
"Well, if you have information about this solar system, I would like to hear it." I looked around to find anybody I could talk to and saw everyone talking with someone else, so I ended up asking Emma about this solar system.
"What do you want to know about?" Emma frowned.
"Anything is.... Well, if you could tell me something interesting about each planet it will be fun then."
I was going to say anything is fine but if I can really learn about something fun than why not?
"There are total eight planets in this solar system. These are all different in masses and sizes," Emma released her arms and gestured, "The star of this solar system is called Artelis. It is one of the stars who inhabits a planet in their solar system which has life on it. I've heard that solar system 11 has two planets with life on them."
"Hmmm," I hummed, implying that I was listening.
"Yeah so, the Aquegor planet is aligned number four if we start counting from the Artelis."
"Hmmmm," I again hummed.
"Aquegor is actually the third smallest planet in this solar system."
"Hmmm."
"What? If you are not interested than why did you ask me!?"
Emma said in indignation.
"No, i-it's not like that! I am actually surprised how passionate you are about this, ...do you want to become a teacher in the future?"
I wondered.
"Why do you want to discuss the future before our mission? After the mission we will decide what are we choosing as a way of living. And yes, I have a knack for teaching so I might become a teacher or trainer in the Heisenberg."
"Heisenberg? Isn't it Heinsberg!?" Emma said the wrong name so I asked to clarify.
"It is called both. Heisenberg is just another name for Heinsberg but there is another name for it as well TISPC."
"TISPC?" I inquired.
"Training institute for space patrol cadets." Emma gave me answer.
"Isn't it too simple?" I said with questionable eyes.
"You are right I was lying, there are only two names. You might hear some professors saying that they teach at Heinsberg, some might say that they teach at Heisenberg. Reality is Heisenberg is Heinsberg."
"What? What was his name!? He must've achieved something big, that they made an entire training institutions in different galaxies on his name." I said because I had no clue on how the hell a name like that got so much recognition.
"You really don't know anything do you? How did you pass your written exams?"
"Oh, shut it!"
"Well, it is becau-"
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Shit, again? She was just about to tell me something good.
-It is to inform all the cadets that we are soon going to arrive at our desired destination. In five more minutes, our destination will be in front of our eyes. It is informed that each captain should go to the compartment of their assigned group and guide them about their mission and what they are supposed to do.
Nice! If it is like this, I am able to witness the godly beauty once again.
"Isn't it nice?"
"What is nice?"
I didn't understand what Emma was referring to with 'nice.'
"You will be able to have lewd thoughts about Clawford again in your mind."
"It's not like that. Come on! And she is our captain. Call her with respect.
"Oh, really, it's not like that!? Are you sure about it."
My face turned red displaying my embarrassment.
