Test of the Kindred
A Café Kindred Story part IV
Still dreaming of his past, our story continues on his Niin home planet. He knows what to do now, he must travel to distant worlds in search of answers. What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything. He’s built a ship from scraps left behind from travellers before him. It’s not much but has the ability for interstellar travel. Hardly any weapons but decent shielding.
After packing all he can hold in its cargo hold, he waves goodbye to his friend. Fighting back tears, she waves back and knows this is what he wants and so she must let him go, hoping one day he will return.
His sputtering vessel lifts off and takes flight towards the stars. Entering coordinates into the computer he locates a nearby star and engages the hyperdrive.
Upon entering the new star system, he is immediately greeted by system authorities. Shocked and unable to answer correctly in their language, they open fire. His shields barely acceptable, he sustains damage and knows he won’t last long if he doesn’t do something. Firing back proves useless, his pathetic weapons don’t even damage their shields. He must run and out maneuver them if he can. Making a direct path for the nearest planet he takes a few more volleys of fire from his attackers. Shields down and a smoking cockpit he careens toward the planet surface uncontrollably.
Impact! The ship skids to a halt. Looking around, the cockpit smoking, shorting circuits everywhere, he can barely see outside the vessel to the planet. He doesn’t even try activating the distress beacon fearing the system authorities will find and capture him. The thick smoke fills the cockpit, he can barely breathe. Everything starts to go black, he reaches for the latch mechanism and opens the cockpit. He passes out.
Hours later he regains consciousness, the smoke cleared, he looks around. A harsh world full of fire and volcanoes….everything is burnt. Feeling lucky to be alive he climbs out. Pain from all his joints and muscles, he is alive. After surveying the ship, everything is smashed, damaged or broken.
Nothing works and unable to repair the damage, he sets out on foot. A creature greets him, friendly and clearly no threat, it almost smiles. It follows him for a while before he turns to pet the creature. It lets him mount and they ride off together searching for any signs of life. Could this be part of his journey? Remaining calm and in good spirits, they ride for days eating burnt plants and grubs. Keeping warm isn’t a problem on this planet.
After a few days ride, they hear loud noises not native to the environment. Laser fire and crashing with intermittent crashes, it sounds like chaos.
Passing over the next ridge they happen upon a great battle. Two forces fight in the skies above. From a safe distance they watch the battle ensue, there were many casualties. While watching, stray laser fire explodes at his feet, he jumps to safety only to crash into a nearby rock.
Find out what happens next. Will our stranded traveller repair his ship and continue his journey?
