Chapter 442 Unnatural Energy (2/2)

The incoa's military corpse A completely unfounded stereotype that within the years, had become a believable reality, and that was despite the actual verifiable instances of faulty ers of a single hand

”da his hand over the top of Daniel's helmet, which was stained by a spill of oil ”After we reach the Skyborne Co one” He then added before lowering his hand, and opening the door by allowing for the scanner mounted next to it, to read his authorization

After stepping through the door, and going through another short corridor, Daniel found himself into a seed-shaped shuttle The members of his, as well as the four previous teams, were already in, strapped to the shuttle's walls, and waiting for the alien which Daniel was i to turn up so that they could launch

Daniel did not bother to apologize to these soldiers, and instead walked towards the smaller of the two empty pods Once in, he strapped himself in the same way the others had, and as soon as the last of his belts clicked, two halves of a glass doed from the sides of each of the soldiers, and closed them into a separated and controlled environment

The captain walked into the shuttle, and without saying anything, he quietly began to make sure that each member of his team was properly secured If not, the sudden acceleration of the shuttle would cause the belts to turn into deadly traps, which while unable to slice through their arh for the soldiers to snap their necks with

Afterwas in order, the captain entered the last of the pods and strapped hi a gravitational secured zone that would allow both him and the others to not feel the pressure caused by the acceleration of the shuttle

Once done, he started to tap the small monitor present on his wrist into a specific sequence, which ignited the engines of the shuttle, and in a burst of speed unmatched by any object ever created by the human race, allowed it to exit the atmosphere and approach the Skyborne Commodore in only a few seconds

As if on autopilot, the shuttle approached one of the hangars of the massive station, which soundlessly opened to welco with a dozen other shuttles

”All that wait for a few seconds of travel” Said one of the soldiers after buainst Daniel's in an amicable way

Daniel was not in the mood to make friends, so he decided to destroy all of the hopes that the soldier could have in finding a friend in hire price to pay to witness the power of our great navy” His intention was clearly to sound like an obnoxiousin his mind but the will to serve and die for his hoardless of race, was considered boring to be around

Withto dock, the shuttles were sent back, and the groups of soldiers were quickly taken to their frigates, where they would have to live when not busy with patrolling the vast expanse of space on their side of the wormhole

One after the other these spaceshi+ps were filled with soldiers, and soon enough, just like a swar threat to their nest, these shi+ps were detached fro left to float in space Once done, through the use of low-thrusters, the shi+ps distanced the their propulsors, to get in position

Daniel observed all of this froa race of aliens would call beds, and made use of his cos woulddiscovery, as both the cold gas thrusters used to adjust the shi+p's position, or the Ion thrusters used to provide acceleration, were quite sied a few ed to cole different type of spaceshi+p Round in shape, devoid of any passenger, and equipped with a propulsor whose power matched that of the other shi+ps

The moment this packed formation was completed, the thruster of the round spaceshi+p turned on, followed by that of the rest of the shi+ps, which

For what felt like a million kilometers, the swar that would catch Daniel's attention Nevertheless, just as Daniel was about to lose interest in the shi+p's ht

So within the oddly shaped spaceshi+p had been suddenly turned on A source of pohich Daniel had vaguely felt when facing the alien warriors, and that now had reappeared in an ier scale This spark of iy was forced to move at a superluminal speed within the spaceshi+p, constantly accelerating, to a point where its speed was too vast to fathoy was put into motion, the spaceshi+ps that surrounded it, still in their original formation, activated a sort of warp bubble that separated the space, which quickly started to curve around the round spaceshi+p up to radius of half aa shortcut that allowed the flotilla to travel for hundreds of thousands of kilometers in just a fewforward, keeping on bending the space in its path, and extending the shortcut it created for the flotilla that surrounded it

Daniel was du that wasn't light, that could travel at such a speed nor had he seen an artificial cosmic event of such proportions The power that fueled the round spaceshi+p, as well as the spacesuits of this Kruga alien race, was clearly not natural in nature, or he would have recognized it Instead, it was likely to be the pivot around which the era of space travel of which this race was such an expert about, had evolved around
