Space Port

Project Exo was in deep thought. He wondered about the outside world. What is outside of our planet? he thought. We have sent scanner and drones, but I do not know much more then they have told me.

The android snapped back to reality when the officer from before returned. "Is the 29-B ready?" asked Exo.

"Certainly, sir," answered the young man. Just as he said that the engines of the ship roared and the thrusters came online. "I guess that is your signal."

"Indeed," replied the Project. He got up from the bench he sat upon. "You are dismissed lieutenant," stated the android. The officer saluted him and move on once again. Project Exo walked into another 34-Y transport. The maglev module jolted and the ship was lifted up. The pilot took the transport to the docking bay inside the Novadad. It touched down inside the hanger and opened its hatch. Project Exo stepped out. Before him stood the crew of about 50,000 robots and 10,000 humans.

"Project on deck!" shouted the captain. All soldiers and androids snapped to attention and saluted Exo.

"At ease," commanded the Project. The leading android walked to the captain. "It is good to meet you Captain Rodriguez."

"I can say the exact same thing, commander, " replied the captain, pleased with himself.

"Your record does you justice from what I have looked through. Let's see you in action, " said Project Exo. "I want everyone aboard at there post in ten minutes, no less. I will meet you at the bridge."

"Understood, sir, " complied Rodriguez. Yelling was heard as the captain barked orders at the crew. Then, there was the bustling of crew members moving in any which was direction. Soon the hanger bay was relatively empty, except for the few guards and engineers. Project Exo went down the length of the bay, observing the 1,000 or so fighters and transports. He was content. He walked over to the automatic door and walked into the hallways that run through the ship. After a minute or so, he reached the main lift and took it to the bridge. There stood a good 200 crewman manning every station. Rodriguez stood at a holographic panel looking at some space maps. Exo walked up behind him.

"Have you set course for Utijar yet?" asked the robot.

"Most certainly, sir, " answered Captain Rodriguez. He pulled up a screen on the holographic panel that showed the galactic location for Utijar.

"All right then. Get all engines running and get us off Novenia, " directed Exo. The crew got to work at once plugging in data and operating systems. There was a rumble as the Novadad left the docking area. The ship then accelerated upward, away from the space port, and moments later, out of the atmosphere. Utijar here I come thought Project Exo. Utijar here I come.
