The Exploration - Chapter II.5 - An interrupted career

in #writing4 years ago

...We explore space in search of answers, but sometimes we only find more questions. I'm Dr. Dana Dwitt and I'll tell you the story of the EX-A2542 exploration.



Chapter II.5 - An interrupted career

Martha had told me the story, some time ago, Mr. Thomas was assigned cargo commander of an important exploration, but never assumed the position, with only one day left for takeoff, Mr. Thomas left to be at the side of his wife and future son.

Martha had become pregnant, she had been battling with her conscience for several days, she didn't know whether to tell him or not until he was about to leave. The doubt, with good reason, was that if he told Thomas about the pregnancy, he would not concentrate on his mission. But the need to inform him about his son was more important, but... if he had just decided to give him the news first, it might not have caused a decline in Thomas' career.

It was a complicated pregnancy, a strange mutation was revealed in the fetus, a mutation that made it grow more than adequate and put Martha's life at risk. The baby did not have any opportunity, although it grew rapidly, its development was slower than usual. Doctors were forced to sacrifice him and save his mother's life, only four months had lasted Martha's pregnancy and her husband, Thomas, was always with her.

With all the technology that man has developed, despite having tamed space and time, we are not able to save the lives of those destined to die —the destiny of some people can be so unfair—, the balance of the universe cannot be broken, perhaps we can shape it or bend it a little, but never change it completely.

But now, Jacob had committed the imprudence of instilling a crazy idea in the mind of this gentleman Thomas, for whom, the infinite universe is reduced to a single person, his wife, Martha. And for him, there was only one way to save her, or so he believed, and that was to get her back to Terra-VI as soon as possible.

After talking to Jacob, he went to his operations center and communicated with the cargo personnel through his private channel.

"Attention, all first-ranking cargo officers, report urgently to the operations center." there was a flash in Thomas's eyes, he had a plan to take control of the ship that could not fail.
