the battleship carrab
[we see a huge space-shuttle-shaped vehicle in the blackness of space with but a few stars in the background. the battleship carrab has its name painted on it in the alien language |- | |=|= | |_ and through the front windows we see faint outlines of three dragon-shaped pilots. they operate the battleship in silence and with grim mouths. on the radar display we see parts of 2 circles. our view moves past the pilots to the passage behind them the door open and on the floor dragon-shaped bodies, soome moaning while a small white butterfly-shaped nurse inspects each one and then flutters to the pilot on the port side of the ship port means left of the ships direction regardless of the direction chosen]
the nurse whose name is wolyn announced in a clear voice: "captain, we have lost seven more men to the bacterial infection. we must evacuate the ship or we will all die"
captain crunyl sighed and explained between coughs that there is no place safe to land because the two planets nearest are too cold and they must wait until they come nearer to the central star. Nurse wolyn worried that the infection has spread to everyone. no drugs remain and they had been ineffective. the proud crew of ninety four cadets and six officers has been transformed into a mass of scores of shriveling bodies all equal in death. [score means 20- scores many 20s and fourscore would mean 80]
captain crunyl ordered to aim the battleship directly at the yelow star and use only the electric engine she hoped that as the ship neared the star its gravity would pull it more and more and they could save energy. "deploy <cough> the light planes" she wheezed.
the dragon on the right reached a claw far up over head and activated the water pressure which extended an arm beyond the battleship and pushed a broad black plane into the hollow of space. cadet Frijeraj whined "there is almost no light from this distance" captain crunyl fell toppling from her chair and wheezed. her throat was not smooth anymore buton one side the fire-gland was swollen pushing the scales so much that her neck was no longer protected by the scales.
cadet frijeraj cried: "nurse do something" as he stared at the passing giant dark bluish ball of ice. the radar screen now showed a planet beside them and ahead three circles unevenly spaced the furthest circle at the top edge had a red ball on it.
the nurse flettered in and spread some powder on the captain's neck.
the pilot in the center quiet until now finally spoke "we are accelerating!" frijeraj asked what are these circle symbols on the screen of the monitor? we usualy only see the balls of stars! not circular lines!
"who cares" shouted the pilot named Puting our electric engine is pusshing us to the star and the light of the star increase the power increases and our speed increases more as we approach the star.
frijeraj complained "why do you keep saying pull we have long refuted the idea that gravity pulls that is outdated primitive science!"
meanwhile on the third planet from the yellow star it was the summer of the year called 1941...
