"Tomorrow we will do it. I'm pretty excited about this, finally we are going to test the prototypes. I hope they work properly. Otherwise, back to the design table.
It sounds unreal: "These things will literally eat planets." That's what my boss "Thrask Stoltz" said when he was my boss. Unfortunately he destroyed a Maelstrom while testing it so he was fired. Anzo Redfield was so pissed haha, my boss's boss. I heard that he is working with the Sister's of EVE now. I'm digressing.
Well it sounds just like "These things will literally eat asteroids.", I think Erion Sayatore said it when we were developing the Exhumers, a co-worker. So I believe they'll eat planets.
Well, time to sleep now."
The next day.
Me and my corp-mates are waiting to board a support ship. A soldier says: "Alcaster Heckerd !, to the principal support ship." That's me. Well I'm the man in charge of one's of the project's modules called "The Needle", so I think I must be quite important to be in the principal support ship.
"I'm in the principal support ship now waiting for the whole thing to start. It is going to be awesome.
The captain says: "OK everyone listen up, this is going to be a delicate work so I don't want clowns in my ship during this operation, UNDERSTOOD !?, or I'll kick your asses through the hatch in no time. Ok let's fly to the hangar's gates perimeter and wait for the ship to get out."
While we waited I began to understand it. This will change history, we are making history, we are making a bright future for economy and products development.
"OK you rookies, time to make this happen." says the captain.
The hangar's gates begin to open, 250 meters each door, 2 horizontal doors, just enough space for the new ship to get out. I can see the airflow of the little air left in the hangar going out to space while the gates opens.
The sun shines over the open hangar letting us see a magnificent new ship. It silver hull shines with the sunlight as it start engines to leave the hangar.
One of the biggest ships be have made, bigger than the Hulk and that was a really big ship. But this one, 900 meters long, almost 500 meters width, it is just huge.
It has left the hangar, it is aligning to the fifth planet in the system. Since this is a test, we choose the nearest planet, we are in the fourth one. Also the surveys have revealed it is pretty good for what we are going to do with it.
"OK rookies, next step, pilot !, set course to the designated location." says the captain. "Sir yes sir !" says the pilot.
These soldiers have really funny ways to speak to each other.
"Start the warp engine !" says the captain.
Countdown: 3... 2... 1... warp.
Was a short travel, I think 10 to 20 minutes. We arrived first to check if there were any obstacles for the new ship.
"Open a communication channel pilot, OK people you may bring the prototype." says the captain.
We waited a bit and suddenly, there it is, the prototype has arrive. No structural damage, the hull is perfect, shining just like when it left the hangar. Now I can see the name of the ship in one of the hull plates: "Primae" Very peculiar name, well it is the first of its class, so maybe it is like "primary", I don't know.
"OK rookies, time for some fun, 5 minutes until we start the landing process. Remember that this is the first big step, the second big step will start 1 hour after we successfully land in this rock."
I was so impatient. I really wanted this to work. So much work and it wouldn't end well? I could not stand it.
"OK rookies let's begin the landing, you mess this and I will throw your asses through the hatch ! UNDERSTOOD !?" says the captain.
We begin the landing pretty well, in fact all the landing went smoothly. The hull resisted the great atmosphere pressure perfectly, Alexander Redfield did a great job.
Now we are flying 30 meters over the ground and slowly landing. And... touch. We landed.
Now the fun for me begins."
