Episode 0005 - The In Creditability: Leila, Jarry, Wendy, ~ 03 ``Wendy: we have already reached 17.2 Km’s, which is our initial orbit. ``Leila: What’s that in feet? ``Wendy: We are way over the 51,000 feet and is the highest ceiling for airline flight paths. However anything over 45,000 feet does not show up on civil radar or need a flight plan, such as military jets or stealth bombers. ``Leila: What a sight, I can see the top part of the Earth’s globe. ``Wendy: Can you see the two small grey looking shining spots? They are from the orbiting ISS and CSS space labs, and we should be able to spot the Hubble telescope, shortly coming into view now. See it? ``Leila: I think so! ``Wendy: We are going straight up, whereas they are orbiting horizontally. Therefore, our only view now is of deep space. ``Leila: Things are wanting to float. ``Wendy: That is because we are in zero gravity, but they can generate a light gravity pull. ``Leila: Now what is happening? ``Wendy: Don’t panic, we have slowed down and are hovering at around 25 Km’s up, clear of Earth’s orbit or debris from the asteroid belts. I presume to change into Hyperdrive, where a symbol should now display itself on the screen! See it? ``Leila: Oh yes. How does it work? ``Wendy: My understanding of the theory is, it is a ‘magnetic flux’ as a force field, which cloaks itself around the Saucer, thus creating an effect, which allows us to shift dimensions, so we can cover 100 parsecs a day. This only works in zero gravity and you wont see planet Earth as you know it, because it will just become another star. ``Jarry: Zenden --- Drinks. ``Wendy: Zenden, that means greetings. --- We have drinks, and this will help you cushion the side effects of the dehydration. So just smile and say ‘zarfs’ for thanks! ``Leila: Zarfs. This drink is odourless, and a little sweet. ``Wendy: That is normal. ``Leila: It’s okay. ``Wendy: Our alien friend looked different now, he was probably wearing a space pressure suit, as he is now showing their natural chlorophyll pale green and slightly rippled body, with sunken brown eyes. ``Leila: So how many liveable worlds are there? ``Wendy: Nine, to my understanding (as in 9 planets around the Earth). ``Leila: Where is Alpha Centauri, as I cannot find it? ``Wendy: That is in the Southern Hemisphere, but will be near to Betelgeux, in the west. The North Pole Star is 133 parsecs, but add another day’s journey for Polaris AB. However, we will be branching off way short, before then. Look at the map, because you can now see the deflection of the solar system, which you cannot see from Earth, and we are in cosmology navigational mode. We will continue to go North-by-North East, as Camelopardalis is now north west as we go further starboard. ``Leila: So where’s the toilet? ``Wendy: That is easy! It is in the corner, there is a door mark ‘quoin’. Just sit down in the normal way and you will see an oblong shape nostril like on a vacuum cleaner head. When your are ready to go; press the button, and it will suck it all away, but remember to put it back on the hook afterwards. ``Leila: What about drying oneself? ``Wendy: The warm air dear! [Leila, comes back] Leila: Well, that was an interesting experience; I thought it was going to suck me in as well! ``Wendy: The Jap’s use a similar system. I can assure you, that our friends also have similar problems. ``Leila: So what happens when we get to Camelopardalis? ``Wendy: Actually I can see now, that we are going to Cassiopeia; it was the similar names in the translation, which confused me, but a very good question. ``Jarry: Food. --- ``Leila: Wow, hot food on plastic tray, just like onboard an airliner. ``Wendy: Zarfs. ``Leila: Zarfs. This looks nice! ``Wendy: You must eat very slowly, because of body fluids and your digestive system has to get used to it. ``Leila: Okay. --- It tastes of Salmon. ``Wendy: Mine is delicious. Shortly after this, we will take a brake for a nap, which is mandatory for few hours, and we still have another twelve hours to go, when we could have time for a few games of cards. ``Leila: How? ``Wendy: Come over here! This sign on this lever it says Quito “To sleep or to quit”. So we pull on it, and down comes a hammock. Therefore, you try the next one! ``Leila: I like this! Okay, I am off to bed. Sweet dreams! Wake me when we get there. < quoin = toilet - zarfs = thanks> < Previous Page 04 Ursa [00 = 001 <001> 00 = 000] 00.1.1 Next Page 06> |
