The Scientist also noticed a few other things, that would happen when the Shock Wave hits, since the Sun in their solar system was going to be flared up, and most of its fuel would burn hottier, this would cause their Sun, to burn out fastier, or cause it to go "SuperNova", either way their future looks really bad. Now came the time to decide, what are they going to do now that much of the data studied, looked like their peoples future was now in question, so they came up with a plan to send out ( 6 ) Scientist, ( 3 ) Medical persons, ( 2 ) Historians, plus a crew of ( 80 ) various occupational personnel, in "Space Ships", along with all the Photos, Star Charts, Data, Information and Technology, regarding their planets history and People. Now there would be ( 12 ) ships going in every direction of the Cosmos, and all heading away from the Shock Wave, and this was their only attempt they would have to Pre-Serve their Race of People, from becoming extincted as a People in the Universe. The ships were now underway, and as ( 1 ) ship was about a month out, and the scientist was still looking an studying the New Galaxy, and the data that came back from the probe one scientist said to the other scientist, "Now how come we're running away from this Shock Wave ?, In a direction away from that New Galaxy ?, if the data sent by the probe shows nothing happened there, then this Shock Wave shouldn't really exist, and also why do we still see changes happening at a terrific rate thru our scopes now ?, so if we want to find a place for our People that's the one place we should got to !". So they talked about, How they would pass the "Shock Wave", without recieving serious damage to their ship, they finally figured it out and they turned on the "Zenitram" Propulsion system, in the direction of the New Galaxy and the Shock Wave. Now the plan was to get as close to the Shock Wave and face outward, match its speed then let it catch up slowly, and when on the front edge of the Shock Wave, use the Zenitram propulsion system in Reverse slowly reducing the ships speed in the Shock Wave itself, and also taking all its systems off line and maintain everyone in their space suits just in case something went wrong, as for the shields needed to be at ( 120% ) to hold the ship together. The ship was shaking and raddling, almost looked like it was falling apart (but it worked), they were thru the Shock Wave, so they sent a probe into the Shock Wave, for it to come out in front of it, to let the other ships know what they have done, so if they ever decide to follow suit or to return home, at the same time the probe sent a message in the direction of home too! They were on their way to study the "New Galaxy", Now the Journey would take about a year to reach, even if they ran the "Zenitram" propulsion system at maximum speed, and this propulsion system was their peoples most highest "State of the arts system". There was ( 91 ) crew members aboard the ship, and to make the trip ( 89 ) of them would have to be in deep sleep, "Hibernation Suspension" and the two left on watch, (one male & one female), mostly all systems would be off line except for the locations needed by the two crew members on watch. While everyone was asleep even the ( 2 ) on watch in just regular sleep mode, about a week into the journey the ship was then hit by a meteor that was traveling in the same direction, same flight path, if it had been hit head on, the ship would have been destroyed. But when it hit, it mainly caused alot of damage, and a couple of fires, it caused heavy damage to the Navigations systems, some criticial computer systems, and when the two crew members popped wide awake after the impact, they ran to the main control center, what they saw on the camera monitors was terrifying some of the crew members in Hibernation were gone, a piece of the ship was missing, yet the shields and force fields were holding for now. But things was just getting interesting, the meteor that hit was just one of many that they saw was coming in their direction, so they had to work fast since the computer was down, they had to avoid them manually, so they went to work. One of the first things they had to do was to wake up a few more crew members, and that would take at least one hour, if they were lucky, the good thing about it was that you only had to push one button, and the system would do the rest. Now to do this manuvering manually, it would take skill and time, the meteor field was catching up to them ever quickly, it looked like a very large field, it could take hours and hours for it to pass them. And it all started, another meteor passed on the right side, after getting out of the way, an now this wasn't easy since you can't see anything behind them. All there is behind the ship are sensors, and with that there's only ( 9 ) seconds to decide which way to move, since the meteors are moving so fast, about ten more meteors passed when suddenly, another hit on the rear, and it caused the ship to turn around, and that became a good thing, now the crew member could see the meteors as they were coming, the propulsion system was put in reverse. But due to the fact the ship was hit in the rear, ( 2 ) of the five engines were damaged on the left side, they continued to Zig Zag out of the Way of the Meteors, Now the meteor field was over, and it was time for the crew members that were awake, to start repairs to the ship this is well under way, and the ship was now put back on course only for one slight difference, since their computer was down, the point of reference was lost, an the course setting to the New Galaxy was set by eye balling it, give or take a few million miles, and in doing this they might be off by about (2 or 3) million, to which they could make ajustments as they kept heading toward the New Galaxy. Now in our mileage system that would be about (2,500 feet) multiplied by ten give or take a mile, things were getting back to normal, repairs was almost done, the other crew members had return back to "Hibernaton sleep", their journey was ( 3 ) months into their trip, when suddenly they recieved a radio transmission from their planet, it took almost ( 3 ) months to catch up to them and the message reads: "Good to hear from you our fellow 'Space Travelers', (like joking ha ha ha ha...) Oh by the way things are not to good here, more damage was inflicted on our planet then expected, the planet closiest to our Sun was completely melted away, no one survived, it's now a shapeless planet orbiting the Sun, as for the second planet close to the Sun, ( 5 ) Billion people died in the first five minutes after the Shock Wave hit, and they're still dying at a rate of about two million a week of Radiation Exposure, not to mention changes in their enviroment, as for our main home planet, we lost in the range of about ( 3 ) million people shortly after the Shock Wave, now we keep losing people to disease, and we had very heavy damage to our food & water supplies, so some people are starving. Things will propably get better, we have most of our old technology and books, it's almost like we were put back in time, using old methods we had forgotten. Our computers don't work anymore, as for our data and storage devices, tanks, etc,etc..., are now empty or in some cases erased, we can't tell for sure right now since nothing works, our communications are back to our old days, as you can tell since it took almost this much time to get to you. You probably won't recieve this for about ( 6 ) months, due to some of our communication dishes needs work and realignment, this signal we're sending to all of space, in every direction, in hopes that you and the other ships pick it up. In your probe it said that you are heading for the New Galaxy, and that you made it thru the Shock Wave, we hope that you find a suitable planet there, for your crew and for our future survival, and maybe we can all recover from this great disaster. Then we might be able to join you, if things get back to normal. So build a "Pyramid" shape marker to let us know the direction you are going, keep in mind it will need to be big enough for us to see it from space, since our ships will be so large, due to the fact they'll be transport ships with our people, and we won't be able to land, if we see it from space we can then transport our people down on small shuttle crafts, we wish your crew the best of luck! {Space Command Team Transmission over}". So they took this news fairly well, thinking that at least their planet survived the Shock Wave. The ship was working at ( 82% ) efficency, and to top things off it was, now ( 6 ) months into the journey, and everything seemed to be going good, and the ( 5th ) new watch team, was now on duty. And since the time, in which they took over, was about ( 30 ) days later, the ( 4th ) team "Eve and Adamus" , had fallen in love, and they had been intimate with one another, within that time the computer had detected that a new lifeform was on board, and logged it down in the ship logs, that crew member "Eve" was the one carrying this new lifeform. Now by "Eve" being pregnant, and the baby would be born in about ( 8 ) more months, the baby would be born in the New Galaxy, for that would be about the time they would arrive there. An because of this new situation, the computer did not allow "Eve" to go back into Hibernation Suspension, and to top it off, Doctor "Venus" was taken out of deep sleep mode, and placed on duty to care for "Eve" and the "Baby" to be, an yet the Doctor "Venus" was happy to be part of this great new event that's coming.

    Suddenly the alarm went off, and it was a surprize to the crew that was on duty, because the alarm that went off was "Battle Stations", and all the crew asleep was now being awaken by the (A.C.A.S) "Automatic Computer Alert System", and the biggest reason it was such a big surprize, is that they were in New Space Territory, and as far as they Knew, it was a false alarm, an that's because they don't have any enemies this far away from home, so they figured it was a computer error. But suddenly they took a hit on their right rear shields, reducing the shields down to ( 90% ), and then another hit, the crew then started running fastier to their stations, because this was for real, so they fired-up the "Targeting Grid" to lock "On" weapons, and I.D the enemy if it was possible, with weapons now armed and locked on the target, and all systems ready to fire, an I.D came up on the screen, it was their neighboring enemy, they had also survived the Shock Wave, by slowing down their planets orbit around their Sun, to be almost parked behind one of the other planet, so they wouldn't recieve any of the Shock Wave, and they figured now was a good time to erase their most hated enemy from existence, by sending a fleet of ships, out to destroy all the ships that their enemies planets, had sent out to all parts of space, including the one that was now on the other side of the Shock Wave, and at the same time, a fleet of ships would attack there home planet. Now this special fleet of ships, was set up to hunt down all of their enemies, (ships, bases, settlements, and people), for the whole purpose of complete "Annihilation", on both sides of the shock wave, anywhere in the whole universe, this was their only mission in life, to hunt down their enemies. This Fleet some how found them, and the fighting begun, "open fire", the order was given, and it was a very Extreme Exchange of weapons fire. The Scientist ship was taking most of the heavy damage, Captain "Zeus" said "We have a problem, a big one, as you know", an interuption accured "Sir, There's two ships that have been destroyed, and there's ( 8 ) enemy ships left, ( 2 ) with very light damage, Sir, I feel we should surrender, Sir", Captain Zeus said " We can't surrender, our enemy do not take prisoners, they don't want to feed them, or house their enemies, they'll kill all of us, take what they want or need from our ship, and destroy the rest". "Kappa man" said "Sir, I know i always seem to bring only the bad news to your attenion, but we're picking up a very large asteroid field up ahead, do you think we should try to lose them inside there, Sir", Captain "Zeus" replied "No, we fight them out here, i don't want to be fighting asteroids, and our enemy both at the same time, so vir away from the asteriod field.", and one of the ships following the scientist ship, went in to the asteriod field, to cut them off just in case we went into the field. Then "Zebra" man said "Sir, I've been trying to figure out this strange signal, that we have been picking up for the past two thousand nano-seconds, paused for a moment, But i still can't figure it out (listen), as he put it on the ships intercom, "Sir" it stopped when we virred away from that asteriod field, Sir., Shields are down to ( 30% ) in some areas of the ship, completely gone in other sections, and armour outer plating missing in ( 2 ) decks, we have six fires almost under control, and ( 2 ) large holes on our left side, ( 2 ) of our weapons systems are destroyed, and one light speed engine is down, but our "Zenitram Propulsion" system is back on line, and we have just enough propulsion to get out of here if we activate it now, we will catch them off guard and we can stay ahead of them by a slight distants, while we make repairs to the ship, Sir.". Captain "Zeus" said " I would like another option please, due to the fact that their ships with no damage, would over take us in a matter of hours, not days, if we run now, so we would be right back in the same situation in hours, so we have to do something here and now.", "Meyra" said "Sir, the enemy ships are closing, ( tears came out her eyes ) as she looked at the computer screen, and suddenly "Zebra man" who was still working on the funny message, that they had recieved earlier, and "Zebra man" yelled out "Captain, I've figured out that message we recieved it says: Stay out of our space, if you enter our space, you will be destroyed, we do not wish to meet, or communicate with anyone of your species, stay on that side of the asteroid field, this will be your only warning, you are being targetted along with this message, moment of silence, end transmission, what does this mean ?, is there another form of life in this part of the system ?, Sir.", Then "Tiger" the weapons officer yelled out " There was an Explosion in the asteroid field, i believe it was one of our enemy ships that was following us, it must have hit an asteroid, it now leaves one less ship to deal with, Sir.", Captain "Zeus" said " If we keep firing on the ( 2 ) damaged ships, that would make two more destroyed, and we wouldn't have to deal with them anymore, so concentrate on those two ships only, even if we take hits from the others.". Suddenly about One Thousand laser beams, passed by the ship coming from the asteriod field, these laser beams were ( 10 ) times more powerful then the ships weapons systems, in a flash and series of Explosions the enemy fleet of ships behind them, were no longer there anymore. And a small message came to the ship from the area of the asteriod field, and since the communication officer had already decoded the previous message, this one was easier to decode using the same method, with the help of the computer, it said : " We are a peaceful people from the "Planet Bostitus", we have very powerful weapons, do not attempt to test Us !, you have seen what our Defense Grid can do, and that's only half of it's capabilities, an our Interstellar Warships are even more powerful, we didn't destroy you mainly, because your ship did not have the same configuration as the one that entered our space in the asteriod field, when that ship entered the asteriod field after we gave them the same warning we gave you, and you turned away and they didn't, we had no choice but to destroy them, and besides we admired your abilitiy to do battle and hold your ground, even when the odds were against you ( 10 ) ships to ( 1 ) ship, you showed great courage. we destroyed all those ships, for the reason that we did not like the fact that they had the upper hand and all that fire power, so we had to make a point and as you would say, We were flexing our muscles & power, we will monitor your progress as you go thru our space, in which we give you free access, we'll be watching you, but you will not recieve anymore messages or communications from our people, Best Wishes. End Transmission". so with that message read an over with, it was time to count their blessing, and be on their way, now the funny part on everyones mind was, ( Did we just make a new friend in the "Cosmos" ?, or a new species of Life ?), to reckon with in the future, now we know that other lifeforms exist outside our system, so now we have to analyze the data we collected during our battle, and see if we can figure out the power source of the new lifeform, for it may be useful someday in the future. Well it was time to engage the "Zenitram Propulsion Sytem", and reset our course back toward the New Galaxy. And they headed back on course an during their continued journey, repairs were being made to the ship, and as the repairs were finished, by the crew members who specialized in those fields, they went back into "Hibernation sleep mode", everyone was very tired from all the work they had to do. A couple of weeks had passed, by then some of the crew members were awaken by the the ships computer, they were by a asteroid the size of a small planet, and it had a light atmosphere, with some food like plants, materials and water, items & fuel they could take on board to restock their supplies, as they approached this very large asteroid, that was orbiting ( 2 ) Sun's in two different solar systems, that were in an estimate of ( 4 ) billion miles apart, in an egg shape orbit, the crew detected "Moltebyte" a primary fuel cells for the "Zenitram Propulsion System", this material is one of the most Rare and the most Dangerous materials know to them, and if it is not stored right, it can ignite itself and become like a very, very large Magnet, and it pulls everything inwards towards itself, creating an almost small "Black Hole" type Enviroment, yet when placed in a special container set just right,
