《A Nobody Special》Chapter 8:

Wow my story telling is shit.
So here's another unplanned chapter. It's not like anyone reads this but I like to pretend people do... ^.^
*****************************
Inside spaceship
So the higher ups want this rock of a world for some reason beyond my pay grade so I have to get rid of the anomaly.... Hmmm.... I guess I could just destroy it.... but it's so interesting. >.
I'll try to capture it but if it causes probs I can just destroy it. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Computer deploy capture drone unit.
?deploying capture drone unit....
When the unit gets back with the subject... Have the subject placed in an isolation chamber.
******************************
Planet side
Wow this world is kinda dim?! I thought it be brighter? And why are there so any little bits floating about ?
(Oddly shaped thingy floats down from up high... Little black things come out...)
Oh?! What's this? Have discovered new life?.... Nah probably not likely... Oh one of them is coming closer ^.^
It's so close it seems as if it will let me touch it? It's little extension elongates and just when I am about to touch it a flash of bright light.
It makes a beep boop sound and then the others start come towards me slowly... I move a bit and then they stop, they back up a bit? Is this some kind of game or is it a ritual? Maybe some kinda cultural thing?
The little thingy gets closer a bit slower this time... The elongated bit gets close again then a huge flash occurs. Wow maybe I can try? But they seem to dislike it if I move so I can't move I guess? I just remain still. They surround me and try to pull me? It seems I'm to heavy >.

All but one returns and the oddly shaped thing rises up and disappears.
***********************
What do you mean it's to heavy?! It's almost the same size as you... What the heck is it made of? Damit!!!
At least it seems to stop functioning after applying high voltage but keep applying it... Until I have some big movers down there... Wait those can't be retrieved... Shit!!!
I can't believe that this thing is so damn heavy that it wouldn't budge...
Computer check for gravitational anomalies...
Holy shit..... The whole freaking planet is destabilized.... Computer .... Oh my god the biggest anomaly is right below us ....
(Realization)
That thing down there is causing the destabilization of the entire freaking planet... Why aren't we being dragged in? What is this strange phenomenon? Argh... I don't have time for this!!! I gotta get this planet stabilized and in order to do that I gotta get rid of that thing....
Computer scan the objects composition and then prepare tractor beam....
Half an hour later.....
Computer how much longer is the scan gonna take? Hell you should be done by now!!!!
The scans almost done, right? .... It's not?! Then continue to scan and wake me up when ur done...
(2 hours later)
Beeping sounds...
I.... 'm ... Almos...t up... Caffeine paste.... Please, Janet?
Thank you Janet... I'm sorry about earlier I'm just a bit stressed out with the unsettling discovery.... So what did the scan... Right. First I gotta eat then I gotta hydrate. Then a calming agent before I look at the scans...Janet you always know me better than myself. ^.^
(Sometime later)
Ok Janet it's time to get back to work.
Please bring up the scan of the object... Huh? Why are you showing me the solar scanner?
The objects mass is so great that the scanner used to decipher stars and there composition is being used?

I know ... I know I'll continue reading...
It has a lot of ores in it... No diamond? 95% percent is solid material? Then show what the 5% is....?! Error?
Janet please display the subjects energy signatures... Good... Now what's this 5%? nothing is showing up? That is weird?
Janet please send a report that states our progress...
(5minutes later)
What do you mean? I need to return to stasis and let the next pilot out? They don't believe me? Despite what the data shows! Sigh... I'm going...once my stasis process is complete please Rez the next pilot and debrief him or her on the situation and their designated task.
***************************
Good night Janet. I'll see you in 15 cycles...
Good night first officer Manroe.....
Stasis sequence complete....
Now waking Sergeant Major Wilhalm
Stasis awakening procedure complete....
God morning Srgt. Major Wilhalm.
Loud Yawning sound*
*******************************
(30 minutes later)
Computer provide mission details....
Remove abnormality on dead planet and then proceed to stage 3 of the plan... Got it.
What is the abnormality?
Gravitational fluctuations from alien device?
What is the objects current status?
Stationary... Provided it receives almost continuous electric charge...
Computer begin priming the tractor beam while the drone unit is being retrieved...
********************************
Sometime later
Alright subject is remaining stationary... Begin tractor beam and slowly pull away from the planet once package is secured.
Tractor beam locked... Ship is now pulling out...
Alright the subject has been removed please begin tractor beam launching system and fire it on the trajectory provided by HQ.
Launching in 3, 2, 1, launch....
The planets ecosystem is now stabilizing gravitationally...
(Planets estimated time of sustainable life levels 65days...)
Add in the terra bots to the calculations and organic mass provided by HQ...
(Planets life support resurrection time 30 days)
Anyway to shorten that further computer?
(No)
Then begin planetary resurrection while I type a report to HQ.
**********************************
In space
I am flying!!!!

Metagame
Some people get a second chance, late in life, and jump on it. Other people are on their third before they turn twenty. One was given everything they wanted, and threw it away on principle. One earned their place, but could never afford to pay the price. One never failed, right up until it mattered. One encountered nothing but failure, instead helping others achieve success. One never believed themselves worthy. One is crushed by the past, afraid of what might repeat itself. And the last never had a goal to begin with. But while nobody cared and no one was watching, they each decided to carry on in their own ways, even when that made things worse- and they did, usually, get worse. Arrows Through Reality, often called Arrows or ATR, is the world's first full-immersion Virtual Reality game, a MOBA by Granduon incorporated that didn't blow its competition out of the water, but did provide a new entry point that had millions trying their new game. Two years later, the player base has only grown, and everybody knows the most effective tactics... but while a cutting-edge AI supposedly runs the game's balance, it hasn't patched anything a single time. Well, the most effective way to do anything is subjective, right?

Day of Doom
A guy wakes up in the morning. That, alone, is a traumatic experience by itself. But then the sun goes out. The guy figures that it's just some freak solar eclipse or something like that. After all, he isn't exactly a scientist. But, no; The same thing happens again the next morning. And the next. The guy must now figure out what's going on. This is my 2nd fiction, written for the [Royal Road Community Magazine] Contest, with the first being something I'd rather not show you. When I started this one(a couple hours before I wrote this synopsis), I had a fair idea of what I was doing, kind of. Cover by MRMerrigan.

The BLOODLANDS
The story follows a young lord in which a middle-aged man reincarnated into the body and gets a second chance at using the knowledge he learns from reading in his past life. No longer bound to the world of his library and university but in a world in which if he failed not only his death but the death of others are in his hands. This concept of the book came about from having two mild heart attacks and the regrets of not being more active in my younger life. Note: The cover of the book is from a painting of Richard the Lionheart at the Battle of Arsuf (1191) during the Third Crusade where he defeated Saladin. Painting by Gustave Doré (19th century).
