《Starship Nyx》Chapter 33: Mara's folks
Advertisement
Ja'riwi presented the five vepoiws for us. He told that they really wanted to follow us. They were the top researchers, but Ja'riwi didn't know about the sciences. Their names were Udeoa Ojuniw, Oislan Bolex, Naluyen Semoy, Kiwox'nia Sinoy and Dila'wino Laxoy. The Kingdom of Haba didn't have any expedition starships. Naluyen and Udeoa also were the top members of Haba Amlaty.
Naluyen was a male speed engineer. He was interested in the speed engines. Dila'wino was a male mining engineer. He was fascinated in how strong the mines were. Udeoa was a female urban archaeologist. She was interested in how the towns and the cities on the planets developed.
Oislan was a male hematologist. He was curious in how the blood would react when they would be together with the unknown blood. Kiwux'nia was a female toxicologist. She was interested in how the toxins developed. Udeoa was a cedenol because she would be responsible for the team. Naluyen was her executive officer, so he was a cepinoth.
Kiwox'nia could use the third eye to burn the things. Udeoa and Oislan could use the third eyes to shoot the water piles. Dila'wino could use the third eyes to see through the rooms while Naluyen could use the third eye to get the species to tell the truth. They wouldn't do it without Udeoa's permission. I discussed with the expedition team about the scientists. Bonoa'mia and Phoni told that they knew the top researchers.
The scientists were trustworthy and iron willing. We agreed to have them.
"You are good," I said. "Welcome to the 444444 team!"
"Thank you!" Udeoa said.
"We have the same rank in the military system, although we are in different services."
"It is true! Do we have to know about your rules?"
"Oh yeah! We don't like the dirty starship. It is up to you later because you have the responsibility for your team."
After a long day, the arachnologists found the new widow species in Wulingyuan when we were gone. They were not from the widow family. The species named Latrodectus lanxingii after the word lan xing that meant blue star in Mandarin. They had the blue star on their stomachs. Their bodies were black. Like the other widow spiders, they ate their mate, of course.
One of the arachnologists called Latrodectus lanxingii the star widow spiders. The widow spiders' poisons were extremely unknown due to their concealed places. But the viruses in the poisons looked like the decagram. The virologists named them for the astrovirus. They were dangerous for the alive humans. Ava sent the poison to our starship.
The human surgeons researched the dead zulcoks' bodies with Cunoa, Hana and Robert. Cunoa found the zulcoks' weak side. Their weak side was blue light, so they hated the blue light. The only alive zulcok was in the supremely security prison. Hana called UEDF and told about the blue light. They would test to flash the zulcok.
We got the reports from UEDF. It really worked. The zulcok hated blue light. They looked away. Some members of Ground Forces had the order to flash the zulcok's eyes until the zulcok would give up. They gave up.
Ava began to interrogate the zulcok. She asked about the name. The zulcok's name was Fytexy. Ava asked about the political system. The political system had been a technocratic feudalism, so it had been powerful. Ava asked about the home planet.

The home planet was instantly destroyed by the powerful enemy. It meant that the enemy was worse than the zulcoks. Ava asked about the powerful enemy. Fytexy sadly didn't know about the enemy. They heard that their leader had to do like the enemy said. The enemy looked for the Immensity Stones!
I asked the responsible UEBS archaeologist Fatima Taleb about the rare civilization during the time. She told that the civilization was over sixty thousand years old, according to our analysis. One of her members found an ancient book. The signs were green. Fatima and her team never have seen the unknown symbols or the indecipherable signs earlier. Sauixs recognized the signs.
"This language is complicated," Sauixs said. "It takes one hour. But I can be slow sometimes. The signs were ancienter than my modern language."
"Don't stress," I said. "Good Luck!"
"Thank you! I will try to investigate."
Sauixs investigated the book in an hour. It was the journal. The zoais or the ancient louars moved to the Earth earlier when the civilization was already completed. They only didn't know who built this civilization first. Sauixs or the louars didn't have a catastrophic idea either that the zoais had been here on the Earth. I asked her if she wanted to visit the civilization and she said yes.
After a long travel, we were in the big civilization in Ichkeul National Park. We tried to investigate the civilization in two hours. Udeoa found instantly that the civilization was a capital city. It had to have been beautiful and big. We saw the old footprints and I recognized them. They were the zulcoks'.
The zulcoks had been here in the first place. Fatima had a crazy theory. I asked her about it. She theorized that the zulcoks killed the zoais. Sauixs didn't buy the crazy theory because the zoais were very careful with the security system. We didn't find any military bases here.
"We apologetically didn't know about the zoais or the louars, Sauixs," I said. "Did you investigate the underground, Fatima?"
"It sounds strange, but the underground is very empty," Fatima said. "Inshallah!"
Sauixs shook her head.
"You are blind," Sauixs said.
"Huh?" Fatima said vaguely. "You really may investigate it like you want."
"You don't use the ultraviolet camera. My sights are like an ultraviolet vision. I will be back in one hour."
"Hold on! May Zig and I follow you?" Jynaxos asked. "We numanicans can breathe under water. So we are three."
Sauixs nodded and then she flew through the underground. The numanicans jumped in the water immediately. We tried to investigate the civilization hopelessly again. I found the heavy swords. They were very weak. Udeoa wasn't a volcanologist, but she thought that the capital city didn't know what the lava was.
Sauxis and the numanicans showed up after an hour. I asked them about the underground. They found some good evidences. There were mass dead zulcoks. It was the water that killed the zulcoks. Bozai found the different musical instrument.
The musical instrument was like a guitar, thought it was slime. Sauixs really needed to find the secret information in the central library on her home planet. The information was surely about the zulcoks and the zoais. Why were they here in the first place? It was an irritatingly extended seeking and calculative riddle for us. Nyx would be updated in one month.

I visited my folks in Yellowknife later. They were extremely happy to see their daughter and hugged me. My father watched the soccer game while my mother cooked the Chinese food. I chose to watch the soccer game. My father and I were the fans of Arsenal Football Club. The soccer game had the same rule in the past, thought it was the international league.
Arsenal Football Club and Fußball-Club Bayern München drew to 2-2. My father wasn't happy of the players. Some Arsenal players were very good, but their passing was weak. They would be hard. My father complained and soured. I felt sorry for him.
My mother called after us. I wheeled my father to the kitchen. We ate food. My parents had mass questions about the aliens, so I answered them. They knew that I worked with the good aliens. We spoke about the planets.
My parents were proud of me. I asked if their jobs went forward. My mother was a three time Michelin Star winning chef. She made a great job. My father was an architect. He worked on the project for UEDF.
The project had to be big. I asked my father directly about it without thinking. He might not say it because it was classified. I understood what he meant. We were full. My mother left us immediately.
I wheeled my father to his work room. The door closed and he called to it to lock. He called the room to be soundproof. The room was soundproof and the door was locked. My grandfather taught my father in espionage. He built the work room.
"Sorry, I couldn't say about my project before your mom," my father said. "It is the maximum security building on the moon. UEDF needs me to build it."
"I hope that it is the top secret, baba," I said.
"UEDF didn't tell about it. I didn't ask either."
"Why does they need you? Because I am your daughter?"
"I asked the same thing. No, because I am only one that can design how secure the building is, you know."
"I understand, baba! Are there any other news?"
No, I don't have any news."
Sophia, Malin, Sonya and I went to the strip club in New York City for two days later. The patrons glared at me. I saw the young guy. The young gang mobbed him many times. He seemed shy. We would go to him because I wanted to help him.
The patrons stopped us suddenly. Why did they stop us? We had the military uniforms. The patrons recognized the badge on my left breast pocket. They let us to go. We went instantly to the guy.
The young gang still mobbed the guy. We stopped them. One of them was worried for me. He nervously whispered in his leader's ear about something. The leader looked at the badge. I asked him about his age.
"I turned eighteen years yesterday," the leader said.
"Belated happy birthday!" I said.
"Thank you!"
"Why are you guys here on the strip club for the twenty-one-years-old? The legal age changed for the strip clubs."
"My age is better. Do you know who my father is?"
"Yes, your father's name is John Martin. Your name is Jack. Julian or your grandfather was a boss of crime syndicate."
"How did you know?"
"Call your father and say that it is Mara Tan, Henry Chen's granddaughter."
Jack called his father and told about me. John realized who I was, suddenly he scolded his son. I just waited for them. Jack obediently gave his mobile to me. I spoke with John about his son's disrespectful behavior. He nervously apologized for it.
I gave the mobile to Jack. He spoke with his father. I waited for them. Jack apologized for his disrespectful behavior to me. I pointed at the nerdy guy. Jack apologized for his terrible behavior to the nerdy guy.
I had blood in law enforcement agencies due to my famous maternal grandparents. My grandfather was a top police detective. He arrested the bosses of crime syndicates. My grandmother was a top prosecutor. She won the big case against the bosses. My grandparents were hard.
The crime syndicates were destroyed because the members were afraid for my grandparents. My aunt was a criminal analyst in DIS. She gave the report to the prosecutors. I heard that she was the ex member of the United States Navy. She advised me to choose the military high school. I didn't know what I would do in the future when I was young, so I chose the military high school.
The young guys waited for me. I told them to leave the club and they nodded slowly. They left the club at once. Youths of the time were disrespectful and spoiled. The patrons were very stunned to hear, although some spoke about my toughness. They didn't dare to come to us and meet.
We weren't interested in the enormous idiots either. What would we do? Oh right, we went instantly to the bar disk. The bartender was in his own world. We smiled big and waited for him. He saw us later.
"Welcome! I am the owner," the bartender said with a German accent.
"Danke!" I said.
"My name is Erich. You are the members of Star Fleet, huh?"
"Yes, we three are. One is a member of Engineering Troops. I am Captain Mara Tan. This is Astroarean Sonya Stevenson and Lieutenant Commander Malin Sundberg."
"I am Major Sophia Verbeke," Sophia said.
Erich thought of something.
"Mara Tan? Oh right! You are the famous captain from the news!" Erich said.
"Yes, I already am famous," I said.
"Oh right, you also are the professor. Ladies, what is your wish? It is on the house."
We looked at the menu.
"A beer, please!" I said.
"A cola, please!" Sonya said.
"A vodka, please!" Malin said.
"A martini, please! Shaken, not stirred," Sophia said.
"I will make them," Erich said.
We got the drinks. Erich had mass questions about the aliens. Some questions were inappropriate. Why did Erich ask? I could answer him carefully. He forgave his inappropriate question because he was curious about the aliens.
What would we do? Would we have the strip show?
