“Ughh my head hurts shit!!” :Real

I wake up with a bursting headache and a nauseating feeling . I am unable to see clearly and sound around me is muffled by the ringing in my ear. Last thing I could remember was an explosion, I wonder what happened

As I wait for the  the blurriness to subside, my vision starts to reappear. I started seeing colors, all I saw was green and brown in every direction.

“This is weird why is everything green... huh?” Did they repaint the ship or something :Real

As my vision becomes clearer I finally saw trees, plants, some animal shadows, and soil.

In a confused state Real said “WTF” :Real

(Hope people fully understand abbreviated words because i'll be using it a lot but just in case I will define it’s meaning wtf = What The Fuck)

“Where am I?” I thought, this can’t be a fuckin  military ship, we don't have a parks in combat vessels unless it’s a colony ship.

I then look up and see trees as well as a vast sky, it was blue signaling early morning with large clouds of different shapes and sizes, if you look carefully enough you could see movement. While I don’t see the sun I can definitely understand that it is there.

Gulp “hahahahahaha what a bad joke” shaking his head from side to side. “Like a colony ship would waste money to build that, and moving clouds? even with advanced technology it would not be cost effective to create an atmosphere inside a ship” :Real

I look around once more then I hear my A.I. assistant speak.

“Ahh you woke up master” :Al

“Oh I forgot you were there Alivine, seeing as you called me master does that mean we're safe?” :Real

“Yes master for now I have set up a barrier for your protection, though the suits power is running low after 5 days of continuous use” :Al

Alivine is an AI capable of both thinking and feeling, she is considered a top class AI. AI’s though not human are still treated similarly, in human controlled space. Around 1000 years ago it was argued by many scientists that if you give robot the ability to think and feel they would not be that different from us biological humans, and if they are abused and treated unfairly like humans they will revolt. Our history has shown that especially in the centuries before the 31st. Even I treat her with respect, but the master thing is what she wanted so I can't really do anything about it.

Now you may question why did I ask her about honorifics. That is because in combat honorifics mean little when one's life is on the line, since communication becomes faster with fewer words. It became a common practice that sir and ma’am will be the only two other words to call someone by A.I. This also became a good indication that you were in a safe area, but only a recruits would be dumb enough to loosen their guard. Even radar can’t sense everything and not every event can be predicted with computers.

“Lower the forcefield to minimum so recharge time improves. It doesn’t seem dangerous here but keep sensors in full power, we don't know where we are or what may be around us, ughhh shit my stomach.” I forgot I ain't feeling too good :Real

“Your vitals haven’t stabilized pls don't push yourself master. I will get the nanomachines to help you so pls rest for a bit” :Al

10 minutes passed and during this time I tried to recollect myself.

“Hey Al have you tried to contact Sigil ?” :Real

“Yes Master I have, but there has been no response for 5 days straight. I assumed that they are either damaged, or too far away. Concluding that they are not near this sector is improbable since sensor data detected that the explosion affected the warp for all 4 ships” :Al

“I was wondering about that, just what the heck happened how can the newest ship with a tested drive get a failure that quickly” Dam those asswholes who did the trails :Real

“Actually Master the drive on all 4 ships is new it is one of a kind and has only been tested 4 times. Testing all the systems was one of the reasons for going to Luandra, as indicated by the log sent before departure.” :Al

“I see well I can’t do anything about it now it's not like we're on the ship to begin with” :Real

“That is true I have analyzed the surroundings both the air composition and soil composition seem to be the same as earth. But the plants and animals seem different and there seems to be another energy that is hard to detect floating about in the air. That is all I am able to confirm without proper equipment further analysis is improbable.” :Al

“Good job so you were busy this whole time huh, sorry you had to take care of me for the last couple days. But it is interesting that there is a planet like earth in the path to Luandra. How come it hasn’t been discovered. Probably got thrown of course by a big margin, still we should be in some known sector.” :Real

“Taking care of Master and going on adventure is fun For me so I don’t mind you also protect me don’t you” Alivine whispered ‘with your body don’t you hehehe’. “Also I have looked at all the habitable planets found within the database but this one is unknown because none of these plants or animals came up on the database. :Al

“Your body seems to be fine now master, it has stabilized a great amount and movement is possible. however combat may be impaired.” :Al

“Ty I feel a little bit better now though there is still a lingering feeling of nausea I should be able to bear with it. Can you send a probe to scan this forest for me?” :Real

“Negative master did you forget that you took an older model of a UCPA (universal combat power armor) it’s an old 4th generation suit. It has no drone control system, phase capability and even the materials as well as most of its electronics are outdated. it wouldn't be wrong to call it an antique you know. Though your BMC (body monitoring cloths) are of the latest design able to incorporate both external and internal analysis that was how I was able to check the composition of both the air and soil.” :Al

“Oh Shit!!! I forgot that I took a suit from one of my collections fuck.” Real was shocked at his own dumb mistake “I guess we have to do this the old fashioned way” :Real

“Yay another adventure hehehehe …. ……. ….” :Al

Real unable to hear the last thought of Alivine said got up and looked around.
