Space Slow Chapter 1: Sea's of Mist

"Alright, start recording after this statement." A males voice came out from the middle of the bridge of a large spaceship, pacing back and forth along the bridge. The ship was a cleansing transporter ship, with a bulky body for transporting enough for 2 small shuttle ships inside of the storage dock. A low-class model shuttle ship was anchored inside the storage dock. One being was still upon the ship piloting it, maintaining the ship constantly.

 Currently in slowed stasis with minimal levels of oxygen and fluid's to keep a ship using small amounts of energy to run. The lights were powered down to a dim light in the room, "Captain's log: date-" A small musical tune sounded behind him on the console against the wall. A incoming call was accepted through his helmet as he continued to speak. "No, maybe. Captain's personal journal.. Entry number.." A cough clearing of a throat was heard from the intercom in his helmet, "No.. That doesn't sound right either.. Maybe something less professional. Commander and chief of the.. Hmm need to name my ship don't I?" Another males voices calls out from the screen inside his helmet.

 "Caa-aptaain.." Almost as a whisper. his gloved fingers holding onto the rim of the helmet. "20.. one moment" he said while lifting the helmet up over his head. "Oh ca-aaptaain?!" The voice called again in a alluring tone. "Captain's.. One moment, I'll get to you in a moment." A moment of silence adjusting the helmet upon his head securing the helmet to the suit's neck collar. "Alright.. Captain's log" He said with a cheerful tone. "Get out here. NOW! You got work to do! Mr. Caa-aa-aptain." The voice was much ruder and deeper than before. 

"Yeah... yeah I'm coming." Plugging the suit into the console, on the bridge reclining back in the captains chair as the data was being sent between the suit and the ship. "There you are.. stop playing around and get to work. We got a lot of jobs to do." The voice had materialized onto a screen inside his helmet, a broad shouldered Chipmunk with a left purple cyborg eye that was zooming in on his screen. "Yeah, well one day, I'll have my own ship and you'll have to pay me a whole lot more than you do now." The chipmunk placed his fingertips against the temples of his forehead, shook his head slowly letting out a chuckle. 

"HA HA ha! You get a ship?! When that day comes I'll call you Captain and hell I'll even pay for your energy." Gripping ahold of the captains chair and sat up some his tail slapped the ground in excitement. "You'll pay for the energy, and Of course my wage will be doubled since I'd be my own ship and you'd have to of course you can commission out to you, but I get a forty percent cut in each delivery and decam." The chipmunk laughed softly and waved his paw a bit. "Are you serious right now?" Chuckling with a wide grin on his face as he was holding back laughter. "Of course that also includes any upgrades or updates, I may need to add onto the ship in the future... If you agree to these terms than.. Deal! Save this deal in the memory files cause your a man of your word so.. You will honor this deal?"

He sat up straighter in the captains chair, staring at the chipmunk that was rubbing his chin. A smirk crossed over the chipmunks lips. "Deal.. Now get your dream moving and hop to it! Ships are expensive so best get working double time..." The chipmunk snickered some with a large grin a musical chime played as the deal was done being recorded. The file was sent to the authorities as they confirmed it and sent the file to both parties almost in an instant. "From what I remember you haven't passed your captains certification. Your only maintenance worker certified, and decam authorized thanks to me. Besides YOU becoming a captain after what number is this again I lost count after the first 2,000."

Laughter bellowed in his throat as he continued to speak. ".. 4,753.. times but I will pass!" He grumbled at the screen softly to himself. The chipmunk slammed his arm against the arm of the chair, "That's right I keep forgetting! Besides you haven't passed your navigation certification either! hah and the last crew assigned to the ship they all left within a few days.. the other crews will only work on the same station if your elsewhere on the stations you're suppose to be working on together! So, who will you be bossing around?! NOBODY! Now get to work!" Laughter came from the screen before the call was disconnected. Closing out the video call window, clenching the captains chair holding onto the sides with his fingers gripping the arms of the chair firmly. He was starting to shake. "Right, just need to get a ship can't be a captain without a ship.. After that then getting a crew should be a breeze.. sure I could do everything myself like I have been.. but at least.. it'd be MY SHIP! MINE!" He heard a metal creek as he froze and looked at the arms of the chair. His fingers indented slightly into the frame of the chair, "Whoops.. sorry ship sorry.. ship.. chair.." Quickly letting go of the armrests and gently rubbing the armrests.

"Sorry." He sighed softly leaning his head forward resting it on the console. "I can't even get a ship without that certification.. I can pilot the ship... Any ship, I'm working hard on piloting the ships from other races.. I will pass next time, next time I can do it, I will be able to pilot anything that I will encounter. My ship will always be in good hands." A loud bing came from around his helmet jolting his body a bit sitting up quickly. The helmets A.I. chimed in, Sir, you're posture is slipping. I've took the liberty in repositioning.

His fingers pulsed holding onto the sides of the chair before shaking his head, quickly moving his fingers away. "Yeah.. Thanks, now.. let's just... get to work." The screen in his helmet lit up with a small icon with notifications coming in. Systems marked, online. Please insert your D.I.C. laying back in the seat as his arm began to vibrate while inputting a code touching an invisible screen. "Yeah, yeah. I'm working on it. Hold your parts." Logging into the computers through the visor of his helmet. Identification verified, welcome aboard. What is your destination? Looking at the screen, "Where's that navigation.." Scrolling through the helmets multiple screens, "Ah, here is it. Alright, let's get you out and about. What do ya say?" His tail swayed along the ground slithering a bit here and there, before wrapping around the base of the chair. The work order was accepted and the coordinates were instantly placed into the navigation system.

Destination received, what time would you like to depart? Looking through the screen of the jobs listed taking care of the nearest one. "Now would be." Glancing at the screen for a second. Confirmed leaving now, safe travels. The ship was powered up preset to autopilot taking off from the asteroid in a quick pace. "Goo" Holding onto the seat before calming down as his body was getting used to the speed. "Ooph, I hate it when it does that.. how long till we reach destination?" Rubbing his stomach some, "Shouldn't have had that food before work.." 

A message popped up on the screen, Estimated time of arrival 10 minutes. Lifting his head up some before looking back and forth being attached to the ship through his suit. "Only 10 minutes? Well that calls for a trip to the network!" His tail excitedly began to smack into the floor under the chair. Unauthorized usage of network while on duty will count as a citation, which will bring you to 18 citations. Continuation of escalating citations will void user operation of all A through G-class vessels and be restricted to only H-class vessels.

His tail laid upon the ground in defeat. "... Ugh." Tilting his head to the side, "Fine. Never mind, networking this time. I didn't spend all this time climbing ranks to be demoted to a H-class.. continue course, cancel network connection. Begin manual navigation." His body lifting from the captains chair, floating in mid-air with the cables attached to the suit. His body stayed still as he took a deep breath. "Ready." The screens turned off in the helmet before his ship was in view floating in a large wavy black river. Understood, canceling network connection. Autopilot disengaging in 10.. 09.. 08.. 07.. 06.. 05.. 04.. 03.. 02.. 01 disengaging. Good sailing... Captain.

Two hours later

"So... four listed jobs in the whole station, right? That's not bad only four sounds, like a breeze." A chiming sound came from the intercom in his helmet. Correct, only two were listed at the beginning of departure from the main station. The most recent listings were added when we arrived while parking in the dock bay. Adjusting the helmet against the suit that covered the entire body "Ah, alright. We should do the first two. Since they were the reason. We're even here." Understood, hailing the first contact for details. Walking out of the bridge of the ship, down a long hallway before turning into a storage room, gathering some equipment for the coming work orders. Placing on his side a extra attachment for his suit. "Always good to be prepared." Walking back out of the storage room, down another hallway making his way to the exit.

Deathicorn

A star lite sky blooms out with stars shinning glissading in the sky. Soft transparent clouds slowly strolling by dimming the light slighting for a moment before reappearing again as the clouds past by. A cool breeze swept along the ground, the first sign of winter's nearing. A old pair of old skeletal hooves shuttered slightly at the breeze as it swept by. "AACHOOO! followed by a cough with a harsh voice coming from a old unicorn skull. "Ugh.. I can feel it coming in my bones." A skeletal unicorn, ash colored long mane and tail still holding onto it it's skeletal body. Standing under a old willow tree, giving shade from the rays of light as the sun was raising in the distance. "Thank you, Miss.. Perhaps, another time.." He spoke to the tree before slowly making his way out from under the willow tree and into the meadow that surrounded the willow tree. The tail and mane blew slightly in the wind making a more ghostly unicorn with a green lit aura surrounded him, as the moons light touched his body. Where perhaps a cutie mark would be has been long since gone. Making his way alone in the forest not sticking to the cleared paths. The Willow tree blew a kiss with its leaves at the Unicorn, as the wind blew the leaves up in his direction.

The skeletal body like a mist blew along the forest floor. In a slow trot his body was speeding through the forest. Mist came up from the ground as he touched it with his hooves. His mane and tail swaying swaying contently behind him, barely jumping over another as mist blew from one side to the other in a instant. "Pardon me.." He said, but all the other did was shutter at the cold chill running through their body. He couldn't slow down to apologies properly, making his way through the forest it was a lovely day for him. Only to stop at a large ray of light shining from above. Staring at it curiously, before slowly walking through the light as he held his breath his legs shook. "Nothing, will stop today.." Shuttering before jumping to the other side of the ray of light gasping as his body was smoking with a very faint color of a mane and tail. Looking down at his body for a moment confused, but continued his way through the forest. His body was back to normal with it's skeletal appearance, slowing a bit down from his confused mind.

Looking at the ray of light for a moment while speeding through the forest with a more hastened pace. His hooves floating up into the treeline's and above lakes and streams.
