Gammon Warp II

Rated "PG" by the Author.

       


     Creatures from a distant galaxy test out their prototype virtual reality device on a human boy.

    

A ship cruised through the stars headed toward a solar system where a small yellow sun held nine or more satellites captive in its powerful gravity. The ship slowed to a stop just beyond the outermost planet. A figure shielded by an orange protective a suit emerged from a hatch. He bounced, and floated between metal ladders attached to the ship. As he approached an engine, he opened a cover and pulled some tools out of a utility belt strapped around his waist.

Inside the spaceship, in a room filled with the latest scientific equipment from the home planet of Coo, Voda, a slender raccoon-like creature studied the monitor which recorded the vital signs of her male counterpart as he worked outside. She chattered softly when he returned to the ship.

“The sixth reactor has successfully been repaired,” Frink announced shutting a heavy door behind him. He removed his helmet, revealing features similar to raccoons on the third planet from the sun, pointed ears, a black mask covering the upper part of his face. His bright brown eyes sparkled, a sign that he was proud of his achievement.
