     original science fiction think of the movie Blade Runner if it took place in space .

Boom  went the sun we knew it was coming the end so we transported everyone on Earth to a nearby world similar to Earth there we start over again ,all of us .It was a then one of the saddest days that came to any world , and it was too a  sad day though that it came,billions of lives  to be move a planet like Earth gone ,civilizations that now  existed were now only memory and the great spaceship that was built was called the Star Runner ,  and the rightful name for a ship like that .
 

The Captain which there were two,which there had to be ,one human and one robot to make life and death decisions for billions of lives the human was there for the feelings,the emotions the human condition , the robot was there for the logical choices that must be made .
 

Captain Jones Tyson was the right human choice for Captain and the robot was name Lincoln after the famous President .Lincoln was pleased that he was picked for the trip serving humans and being on the same level as they were an equal .
 

' We have just passed our solar system and the sun is now gone,' said Lincoln as they watched on a wall size screen the sun exploding taking everything that orbited it with it ,but the spaceship continued beyond the solar system to the in between as it was known  that exist between one solar system and another .
 

' And our passengers are no worse for wear,' the Captain added,' That is just because we lost our homeworld and everything we knew on it .'
 

Licoln who had been created to look like humans so he could interact with them appreciated humans but he was please being a robot,in some cases robots were stronger and smarter and he was both he had too be,but unlike his favorite tv character name Data who was an android but long to be human he didn't he was pleased being a robot .The spaceship travelling faster then light now entered space where no human has been before . Another solar system .' Now we will even go faster then before.' said Lincoln,' Nothing is holding us back .'
 

Captain Tyson shook his head at Lincoln,' Except that.' On the wall size screen out in space before them was another spaceship even bigger then theirs were, Lincoln touched a padd before him to put the rest of the ship on alert and be ready for anything .
 

' Except for that,' repeated Lincoln .
 

And then too now the real journey of the spaceship they it fact  had called The Star Runner would begin and both Captain Tyson and Lincoln had to be ready for anything . Now then too and that  they  had too work together to use Lincoln's logical mind too Tyson's human one , and  not only were their two lives at stake but others that depended upon them
 

.Then the Captain knew of his own abilities and how he would do in outer space because  he been there but only heard of Lincoln's he had to be sure no one was absolutely sure he was field tested of course but that was different then being out here .
 

Then the spaceship ahead of them was indeed larger and even look meaner  in fact then they would know, then the  ship was run by androids which seem to please Lincoln,though it made him feel uneasy .His designers then had tried too had had  teach him emotions and human traits as it were . But it was hard for him though .And it was not easy being the only robot on a human ship but now there were others but they were advanced .
 

Though as both ships made contact Lincoln and the crew of the Star Runner had no idea that anyone that was on the other ship were prisoners ,indeed they were .But no one from the Star Runner would know that until contact was made .
 

' They are hailing us Captain,should we then answer ? ' then asked Lincoln .Captain Tyson nodded what would they lose if they made contact ? Thats why they were out here ,one of the reasons survival was one  the other was alien contact . then too Captain Tyson knew then  he and Lincoln had to be on their toes .Especially Tyson since he was the human condition of the crew . 
 

And now as then the  two ships were about too make contact,on that alien spaceship a prisoner name Ward awakened as an alarm sounded that told the prisoners of the Star Runner .They gathered in a Main Chamber or room and were discussing what their next move should be .
 

' We should make contact,' suggested Ward,' They might have food we need or weapons that size of a ship ,maybe even star maps to help us get to that planet faster,the one that suppose to be our last stop.'
 

' Yea as you said Ward,' agreed Samantha said ,the only female prisoner, ' But look at the size of that ship, the crew could be dangerous even more then we our,besides we were just waken up and almost killed  by our own androids,I want them turn off all of them, they killed half the crew be it by accident or not,communications and not  with that ship should be at the bottom of our list of things to do,at the top should be stopping those blasted androids .'
 

' I agree with Samantha,' said another prisoner,' Yes stopping those androids is a must maybe if we act like we're not prisoners maybe the other ship and its crew will help us,but then  we have to act like we;re nice.'  Even though they then they were prisoners they then were taught with mannerisms and how to act like prisoners but also how too act normal too.
 

And they all turned looking at prisoner name Daws as he folded his arms over his chest and smiled ,' I can be nice .I'm not the one you all should be worry about there are only sixty of us left and five insane androids loose here that other ship is our help rather we want to believe that or not ,those androids are our top concern,not me .'
 

 They then all agreed that Daws was right the androids had to be stopped but would aliens help them or not was the question because this was the first time even as prisoners that anyone has gone this far out into space some of them, even Daws missed their homeworld and wanted to see it again but they were sent out in space as part of the punishment .
 

Daws was right  though the other ship was the least of their concerns .
