Stellaris the world unknown

2200.01.02 Humanity has finally begun to reach the stars. But at what cost. We used all remaining materials even scraping buildings for these ships. A station now holding 3,500 people with more space available and three military ships. My kid looks up in the stars… he’s 10 now but I can feel my life fading away. Its almost funny how in 200 years we risked everything; every man, woman, and child. Hell even animals. So many failed tests, so many losses. We have lost half of our population through war. And then more with trying to save ourselves. How pitiful we are looking into the grandness of space pleading. Please. Please help us, save us from our own insanity. I move my head to my left looking at my weeping child. The doctor trying to explain to him what I have. I got a disease in a test run with a new mineral. Ten times as radioactive as uranium. But its potentials were unimaginable. I overheard the talking, ten minutes. Ten fucking minutes. I wanted to tell him I would like to be alone with my own son. My own son whos mother is in space in the only science ship. Isabel Reveros, the lead scientist. And the one who would find a new home for my son. 7 minutes left. My head pounding with the sound of a clock ticking back to my final hours. My child, Nale passes out. He screamed and pled to get here. The doctor looks back at me and I nod as best as I could. He finally leaves the room. I slowly move my hand on top of Nales head. Wasting 1 minute trying to reach him. I try to comfort him but having his father die with him asleep would be worse then seeing him die with your own two eyes. I pinch his nose startling him. I would have laughed if I could but the last surgery rendered my lungs almost useless. Barely enough to breath. Now three minutes. “Son, remember everything that happened today and before. Remember I lived a great life with you.” “Please don’t speak your gonna make it worse.” “Remember my voice since I swear you forgot. Remember I haven’t talked for three years.” I know I was running out of time so damn it damn it all. I wanted to speak to my son the only person I have with me. A ten year old boy whos about to lose his father. I feel the heaviness of death. “Son, become whatever you want. Take as many risks you need to get there. Because its all worth it. You were the best risk I took.”

That was when my father died, that was when I knew even in today’s world we can only go as far as the world sees fit. So today I decided my dream. The dream was to change that. To help protect the people as best as I could.

Captain’s log. 
After 7 months in space warping to different systems we have found not only alien life but their home world as well. It seems to me borders will get quite complicated since we are extremely close. Although it seems we have both similar technologies, they were better of in building their ships. Their home world is filled with life. Our classifications call it jungle world. And there’s no mistake the entirety of the world is jungle. A few of my crew were disgusted by the thought there are aliens while others jumped for joy. I did nothing. I decided that they were in our way to finding a new home. A new start. There was a size 18 world next to them. It was even an exact replica of earth. No one noticed this only me. And I don’t think they would give it to us without a fight.

Unknown alien object has been located warping into the sol system. Its still unknown since it is in the middle of warping. Somehow news spread quickly and people have already begun making bunkers. Like that was gonna help. Its threat level was 150. A new measurement implemented to detect threat levels compared to ours. Our fleet had a threat level of 74. Three Zulu class corvette ships. Three and it isn’t close to one unidentified alien object. Our ships have two nuclear launchers, with a load of 135 shots each before more is teleported on. And one…. God damn one thing is stronger. Our station has a strength of 328. but it has 16 nuclear launchers with an infinite amount of missiles. 4,213 people exactly now there. And in that things path are mining stations that are critical for our survival. For fucks sake we can’t even make more farms because of what we did to our planet. Sir, if you would, don’t only focus on the threat of killing ourselves but strengthen our fleet because we never know what can happen especially with these disgusting creatures.

Your thoughts are considered and you represent an important community in humanity but think of other people as well. They must not think of aliens as threats more of as examples. We must find our way in this galaxy. And when we do I guarantee we will survive with our humanity intact. From Representative of the Xenophile community. Marco Lam.

Its been more then a year now and the crew and me nearly pissed ourselves. After traveling a year with no problems this little shit came and nearly killed us. Don’t know what it was but it was the only alien thing that went towards us and attacked. The reason I say thing, is that it had no living body. It was just smoke. Ha, almost funny how some of the crew called it a lightning storm. That was my favorite thing to do. Me and my friends just running around scaring our parents. By no way am I ever going to let that thing get away after hitting one of my ships and ripping its hull. Besides I think I deserve some payback. Even the crew think the same. If anyone thinks earth is weak then they got another thing coming. Signing out Fleet Commander Tian Lin

It’s 24 days after the anniversary’s of dad’s death. Mom is still out in space so her brother a doctor took me in. I’m now 12 and I’m learning how to be a doctor since uncle Rilond wants me too. I went to his grave today. Dads grave. Damn even after 2 years I’m still not used to it. Dad’s grave. Because of mom’s accomplishment dad doesn’t get cremated. Instead he stays cryogenically frozen by my mom’s wish. Her hope is that we can someday bring him back. Why can’t she understand he’s gone. And if he does come back it won’t be him…. It never will be him. Dad was Dad he wasn’t some robot pet or a hover board you can fix. Now all I see is an empty shell that wants to be free. I stopped going their since last year. I decided with my uncle’s help to make a new grave, one in the backyard. I decided to give dad a blue bell flower. That was the flower he gave my mom when they met. That flower was me. And the day it wilted was when I became a husk as well……. Well at least my mom did what my dad’s last wish was; she found a new home for me. Its designated to be a mining planet because of the minerals but it wont be destroyed. Dad’s work with the mineral Infiniteum. His work allowed for the ability to never lose recourses. After every month recourses come back exactly where they were. Making one mineral spot last forever. How many people can say this; my mom found a new home and my dad solved mineral crisis. Even though I’m learning medicine I will become a military soldier. I want to make a difference to humanity. Even If it means being a dead corpse body shield for the next person that fights…. Today’s my day to cry my Dad used to tell me; but tomorrow will be your day to smile. How long. How long will it be till today ends. Please tell me…. Please.
