Beyond the Final Frontier

Volume One: Altair


Day 1

Hello, my name is Ian, and I'm recording this 'cause I really DON'T KNOW when I'll go back home... I'm not happy with this all, but I'm not sad too, despite the unconfortable situation I've lived these months, the beauty of the places I've visited and the sensation of live one more day to survive makes me go ahead...
Well, was I born in 2296, in a moon called Titan, orbiting the ringed jew of the Solar System; Saturn.
The Titan's sunsets and mornings are beautiful, despite the cold, I like to sit on a rock in front of my house and watch... But, from 2332 until few months ago, all I've seem was metal plates and darkness in the windows... I was atboard of the future, towards a starter colony on the Alfa Centauri system, Tauri b would be our home right now, according with my watch's calendar, we should living there a week ago...
Im a Propulsion Enginneer, formed in New Hungary's Academy, and a failed PhD in Astrophysics, but nothing that don't allows me to survive here, or in any other world... Brim was a Propulsion Enginneer too, she were my reason to live for many years, she was the only woman that maked me smile. It was a "One way ticket" make this travel to Tauri b, all the crew knew that they never could come back to Earth or Mars, Brim persuaded me to come with her, she had the hearth of an adventurer with the thristy of a new world, and me... well, I only want a place to rest during my life, this all could be real... If GALILEO did the math correctly, he commited an error while considering the water pressure inside the tanks of the auxiliary engines, we had problems with the heat override in the engines. We were all crazy trying to open the water valves to cool down the radiation reactor, but Brim had problems while trying to open her valve... I turned my head towards the chamber, noticing her absence with the other enginners, then I saw her, desesperated, hiting the valve with the wrench using all her strenght... I was completely paralized, scared with the alarms, the steam flowing violently, and the motors roaming everywhere, after a endless pair of seconds, she finally did do open the valve, wet and tired, she looked to me with a smile and blinked to me like who says "That's how to do it", a second after, the water tank at her side exploded, and I ran through that hot and hazard water, I dove several times there searching for her before all goes dark...
I woke up in a bed, I was in risk state by last 18 hours according to screen in front to me, I turn my head to my right side, wishing Brim at least laying on the other bed, probably on the same situation, but all I see is a atum sandwich, water and a coffee cup in a metal plate over the table, I turned to my left, my left arm is totally sealed with bands and it is hurting while I movementing, over the table I see a flower on a glass with water, the most beautiful flower I ever seem in my life, probably from Titan too by its familiar shape and greenish tones, tied to the glass there is a ripped flourecent turquoise ribbon, with a sticky note saying "Fight for Her"... I was wishing not to believe, but that ribbon was from Brim's uniform, then I faint again to dark thoughts, blaming myself by her death, wishing I had courage enough to came back and saved her...
I woke up again, probably much time after, because I can't feel the bandages in my arm, but this time, I'm totally adrift, I can't few my body at all, is all hurting as hell, my head seems to explode and I feel like I'm falling, a voice comes to my head, a female voice saying my name...
-Ian... Ian... Are you okay?...
That voice seems to end my travel inside my mind. I open my eyes, it seems like every light bulb on the room its bright as the Sun, my vision is so blurry that I can barely see one feet in front, there is a dark plotch in my vision, its growing, I don't know whats happening to me, I'm so scared...
-Ian, try to calm down, relax, let the air flows deeply in your lungs...
I confirm with my head, and close my eyes, "1, 2, 3, inspire... 1, 2, 3, expire..." I must being repeating this for a minute or more until I feel completely I'm okay...
I open my eyes again, but now there is no dark plotches, no blurry, my body still hurting, but I feel much better...
There is a nurse checking my pressure, she said I need to sleep or something else, I barely heard what she said, I got up, taked back my clothes, and leaved the room a little dizzy, every step seems like take a year to be done at start, I approximate from a random window in the corridor, all I see is a dark sky, with the distant Sun among the stars, but bright enough to stand out from the others, I do a little effort to see my reflex in the window...
-Here I am, in this eternal night...
I notice that my hair have some greyish lashes, like I was 15 or 20 years older, my eyes, their iris are kinda bright or light now, I had no idea of what happened to me that moment... Wait, the water on the tanks, such radioactive dosis should killed me... But I'm ALIVE. I smile for a moment, I few a tremendous hungry, anything would be nice... I walked towards the dining hall, I feel the warm air and the smell of all kind of food there, I run to the queue with a band and started my self-service, I've taken a bunch of beans with random fishes and meat, sit and start to eat... The people around me starts to look at me, probably not familiarized with a single man of my biotype eating that amount of food...
I hear another man calling me...
-Hey, go slower if don't wanna get bad...
I Know what doin'buddy, leave me alone and its all okay... - He bothered me...
-... Where you from? - (C'mon just let me eat alone...)
-I talking to you!
Who gives a F*** where we from? WE ARE ALONE, ABANDONED IN THIS ENDLESS DARK SEA!!!... WHO ARE YOU TO COME HERE AND ASK WHERE I'M FROM? A KIND OF GOVERNMENT MEN? FROM WHAT? HERE, A THOUSAND BILLION MILES FROM ANYTHING, WE     ARE    ALL     ALONE,     FREE FROM ALL CONFLICT OR CRAZYNESS THAT HUMANKIND BUILD ON THAT SICK PALE BLUE DOT OUT THERE... AND YOU,   YOU     THINK THAT CAN SIMPLY BROKE MY SPACE, AND FETTER MY FREEDOM IN THE ONLY MOMENT WERE I SUPPOSED TO BE AT LEAST HAPPY WITH FLAVOR OF THE FOOD????
He got a kinda scared, but I hear another guy got up and walk torwards to me... I drop the fish and turn my head to him... An authentic Martian marine, with their average height of 2,20 meters, and a imponent and strong appearance, but I wanna finish my dinner, and I had no time for considering my chances of win any fight...
-HEY! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WITH WHO YOU TALKING???
What part of "who gives a f****" you didn't understand conrade? - I, got up and said calm... But I barely reach his shoulder...
I could feel his feet near my head, a kick of martian would be the last thing I would wish that day... I couldn't

believe when I did to stop it before it hit my head, then I look to him, kinda amazed too, but he came with a punch that

should have around 72 pounds of power, he striked me in the face so hard that back to the table, almost falling in the

floor... I had no idea of what to do, then I looked to my band with food, I grabbed it slightly and turned with all my

weight on the band right on his head, he fell on the floor and I got over his body, closed my fist, I was willing to to

discount all my fault on it...
>STEPS<
Is the official Lith watching us, probably arrived few moments ago...
-ATTENTION!!!
We got on feet faster than a breath, there, freezed...
-You two, to my room, NOW!!!
We followed him to his room, then he took off his cap to the table... Closed his eyes for a moment and looked towards to the Martian...
-Douglas, one more fray, and you'll take 32 hours of detention, last time I warn you... Dispensed!
I even looked to his face that moment, I was thinking of how they did to take me out water...
-You... Ian, you never was the termagant type... What happened to you? To start, how did you get off the emergency???
I just woke up with the wrong feet... It seems since last year...
-No its different, your countenance... You changed a lot, isn't you anymore...
I'M    O K A Y...
-Humm... Just In case, I'll be watching you, and you will be substituted...
YOU can't do that... That is my life!
-But I can't risk to put an unstable employee in a such important office... You need to relax, but you already woke, and I see you're in conditions of stay turned enough to fight Doug'...
Hum...
He got me the occupation of cleaner, for those days...

THIS IS A WIP JOURNAL, SO THIS WILL BE UPDATED UNTIL I REACH THE END


Hyade History

Intro

Hyades, self indentified as "Hai-a-Di-e" at an compreensive level. Originary from a K0-2Ve class star know as 12 Ophiuchi, or "Teiji" in Phyuchi language, from the third planet of a small Star System.

12Oph System by Miguel-Neves
12 Ophiuchi System diagram.

Biology

The Hyades are a kind of crustace/fish alien, they come from Ertha, a Oceanic Planet around 12 Ophiuchi, they're a bit small than other races, only 1,65m of height. Their skin is dense and heavy, and the upper part is an scale group that is thick and colored, usually of blue or green but they have other colors too, the lower part is more like a whale skin, its meat sounds like a crab or salmon and is slightly white. They are very strong, its four arms are very efficient while swimming and fighting, they cannot use other alien weapons (they don't have fingers), they are a relatively pacific race, but they are very afraid of other alien race use them as food, so they open fire easily. They already lost serveral colonies for the Luri. They are Hydrongen breathers, so they search for specific planets like Oceanic Planets, they can extract the Hydrogen from the water molecules ejecting the useless Oxygen gas, or planets with high levels of hydrogen on the atmosphere (and a lot of water). This process is given by the high corporal temperatures, their respiratory cells break the water molecule, creating CO (carbon oxide) and the Hydrogen gas, who is used to create their digestive acid, execute chemical reactions for body maintance.
Process executed by Respiratory Cells:
H2O + Ammonia/Methane ---> C + CO/N + H2

Technology and History

Really, the Hyade technology isn't nothing that we already heard before, all starts when the Hyade empire begin to be Unified.

Around 21 thounsand years ago, the Hyades lived divided, were existed many queens, many lineages, but a terrible plague arrived Ertha, at board of an asteroid, a bunch of micro-organisms named Kias, they feed from living beings based on Carbon extracting their sugar rings from DNA, they infected many Hyades, and many queens around Ertha. But one Queen couldn't be affected, she were Immune to the Kias, she had 12 Royal eggs, from those eggs, born the 12 Pillars of Ertha;
Urath
Tsatha
Yem-Ghatak
Rhotha
Nianatha
Sathla
Bhoyo
Nyogth
Moga
Ythak
Nthly
Nyysi
The Queen ordened her sons to unite to the other families, to save the Hyades and expand her territory. Nyysi was the only female able to produce female royal eggs, she was protected by her sisters and brothers, and together they build the biggest colony in Ertha. Few years after the death of Nyysi, Flahr, her major daughter, turned into the major Queen, and ordened the other Brothers and Sisters to search for ways of avoid situations like happened to their grandparents. For Centuries they made awesome discoveries, in mechanisms, astronomy, biology, and a way to stop the Kias. Flahr created a Council of 100, to made the correct decisions while she's busy...
Then they start to build several mechanisms, chains, swords and armors, for much time hyades were constantly improving their abillities with metals, but the real great jump was when they did the first city on the surface, where things was little hard to deal, the Hydrogen saturation of the atmosphere is 2x less dense than the water, so they have difficults to breath outside ocean, then they made special suits, to walk and explore the surface of Ertha, this same suit was used as base by the Exploration Council to make the firsts Space Suits, who have Hydrogen Saturators and a small content of water inside. The Hyades used Hydrogen powered machines for centuries, until discover uses for the radioactive materials, using systems based on the Geiger meter, they was able to build motors and power generators. More later they discovered 'safe' methods to create small contents of plasma for weapons.
The Plasma weaponry for ships was one the last great technology advance of Hyades, this did them the most powerful race in the Orion arm, with Energy Projectors on most of their battlecruisers, even a small fleet could make a enourmous damage on the planet's surface, leaving all in ashes, or in case of attack, rip apart a entire enemy fleet without difficults. In fact they don't care of what will occur in the planet surface, they only need the oceans and enough space to build the Hydroformers, giant machine complexes that break atmospheric gas into what they need, water and Hydrogen.
Even being a Pacific race between themselves, they have much fear of been used as food by other animals, by this they live in large communities, and they always think in ways to kill anything who represents threat to its species. The Hyades doesn't like to lie, and usually all the population is honest, they don't have money, just trades, and the deserverd prize for works and activities.

External Relationships


About external relationships, they only deal with themselves, once anyone can't understand they speech, they usualy destroy any Freighter or Battleship in sight 'cause any try of contact is uselees. They have a very powerful grade of weapons, and they battle cruisers are almost indestructible. They already used to declare war to other civilizations: Grey colony on Wolf 636, they glassed all cities and Hydroformed the atmosphere. Reptilian (type-6) Homeworld on 70 Ophiuchi, they glassed all cities and Hydroformed the atmosphere too. And the Luri, they never completed any glassing to a Luri Colony, they lost the 48 Aquarii e and other three young colonies for the Luri, since 500 years of constant war, they lost the feel control they had in the Aquarius region, since that, they focused to hide they Homeworld from the Luri, but Luri never find another Hyade colony near the Aquarius region, just feel retreating battleships that were destroyed.

BeP by Miguel-Neves The pronuntiation Unknow for this text.


The Hyades have a lemma that could be translated as “War in name of the Progress”, honestly I dunno what they really want to pass with this phrase, but I think it is reffering to the habit of destroy everything in their sight, this phrase is in several documents and messages send by Hyade battleships.

Also in the year of 1999, a Hyade Imperial Fleet was attacked by ENDI battlecruiser class-GAMMA, during the battle that taked around 2 hours, the Hyade were able to destroy the ENDI G Paradise, but in a desesperate try to escape the explosion of the ship, all remaining ships of the fleet activated the Slipspace Drive at "blind", and warped in random places in a array of 6.2Ly, few of them could be found, except the Imperial Battlecruiser, were the Princess Yori was at board...
More later in 2492, while Yori still in deep space travelling through the Galaxy searching for Ertha, the actual Queen, Harwyn, ordened a Havester Mission to the System SOLIS (our Solar System), which implies put a Mizar Star Havester around the Sun and destroy the Human Cities and anyone opposes the Hyade Empire purposes. But the CRC were able to stop the Star Havester, leading the entire fleet to retreat.
From 2964 until 3350, Hyades expanded their Empire through the entire Galaxy, and found several ENDI planets, the Hyades and ENDIs aren't intersociable races, they imediatelly entered in conflict, 'cause they are extremely territorialist societies.
In this battle, Yori was Killed by the ENDI leader, Mark, during a mental duel in Yori's mind, in the Capital of the System 452.
