Qubetron Trilogy

14.Wormhole

        Capsule launched successfully. Steve is directing from below while John is leading the expedition. Then after some days the portal to reach the wormhole is opened and entered and exited it successfully. Now they are travelling to the wormhole. They've reached the destination. They are in front of the wormhole. They've sight of the wormhole from far. It's very huge and by seeing it. 

        Their heart is shivering. It looked like a devil ready to swallow anything in its range….it is a huge opening rotating centrifugally which is sucking away anything near it. It is fierce and very large. All the three freeze in shock at the sight of it. They thought that it was the last day for them. Steve said, Voyagers, in front of you there is a wormhole. If you move a little bit, you will get sucked away by it. 

        So first you have to switch on all the thrusters that act like an anti-gravitational force for that huge gravitational force and it's mandatory for your survival. Switch on them….. The three of them are very shocked and their movements and voices get arrested. They are unable to speak. Steve asked, John, are you hearing my voice? Over. Please respond if you are hearing. John's hands are shivering to press the button and talk. With very nervous and stuttering, John said, Yes sir, thrusters on….. 

        The anti-gravity thrusters are on now. Soon all the smooth surface over the capsule is divided into plate blocks and all the plates turned upside down showing thrusters out. The capsule now is fully surrounded by powerful thrusters. John responded, thruster placement successful Steve. Steve is breathing very heavily while John and his friends are sweating and very nervous. Soon Steve said, now!!.....

         Move!!!  John said, OK Steve, John's hands are shaking and moving forward. They moved a little. Suddenly the wormhole started showing its effect. The speed of the capsule is increasing to uncontrollable extent. All the engines are heating up and warning sirens are wailing. Finally the capsule is swallowed away into the wormhole. It is black until they enter but on entering they aren't able to see anything as their sight is filled with flashes of lights... 

        The flashes are caused because they are travelling very much faster than the light and they are able to bear them. The capsule is trembling like a quake. The cabin is filled with screaming and siren wailings. But as expected, thrusters are doing a good job preventing the capsule from collapsing. After a while the capsule got adjusted to the conditions of the wormhole. Because of such extreme conditions the voyagers fell unconscious.

         After a while Steve tried to establish contact with them, Voyagers, are you alright? No one is responding. Down in the control room, all are at nail biting tension. He kept asking the same question repeatedly “voyagers are you alright?” but no answer. The hope of their survival is decreasing every time he repeats the question. There is no return of an answer from them. Finally they've concluded that they are dead and the mission failed.

         Suddenly a radio wave connection was established with noise. So they've again got sprouts on their survival. He asked again “voyagers are you alright??” John started to respond, he was exhausted and with a breaking voice Steve heard that, Yes sir, due to that force, all of us fell unconscious. Now we are alright. With that voice Steve's relaxed very much. 

        The first step and most important step in the journey are very successful now. Steve was breathing satisfactorily and asked, is the capsule under control? John responded, yes sir, everything's under control… All the colleagues shouted out of joy and applauded Steve and John on their success…. Steve said, Ok voyagers there is still 1.5 light-years distance to cross the wormhole. As the conditions are unpredictable just be careful. 

        OK. John said, OK sir. Finally by luck the capsule is fully under control and after 1.5 years, they finally travelled through the wormhole and threw away from the white end. That thrust is so strong that. Capsule travelled much faster than normal and weren't able to control for so much time. The capsule is losing its control and travelling much faster than max speed. Finally after so many troubles they managed to control it. Steve asked John, Voyagers, did you successfully cross the wormhole? John responded, Yes, sir. 

        The celebrations started in the station. Director started to speak now to John, Congratulations Steve and John. Our country was now officially first to cross the galaxy and first to travel through a wormhole. Your team was first to travel and John…… Special congratulations to you... As you are captain. You are officially the first man to cross the galaxy and travel through a wormhole. 

        Steve is very happy now and he said very happily, Congrats friend…… John is also very happy now and he responded. Thanks Steve….. Steve continued, OK, Keeping aside all of this. Now you are nearly 7 light years away from WASP-2389 BLG-5487.Do you see any obstacles around. John said, No Sir, everything's clear……  Steve asked, is the capsule charged in the wormhole to open the next portal? John said, yes sir, fully charged….. 

        Steve is very confident now as most important obstacle is passed successfully and now he said, ok, now prepare to open another portal to WASP-2389 BLG-5487. John is also very happy now and he is very active, OK sir, portal sequence activated. Now same process did take place and projected a Ray opening a portal near that planet. They entered the portal successfully. And travelled 0.3 light years distance in nearly 3 months now they are near the planet…

         Steve said, OK voyagers, now you are near to that, Only a few more days to travel to reach the planet. So place the capsule in autopilot mode and relax yourself. John responded, OK sir, autopilot activated….. 

After a few days…. As expected, time for Steve to be 2 years… 

They are now at the sight of WASP-2389 BLG-5487. John said, 

        Sir we have the sight of that planet. It's pretty clear. We are preparing to land. Steve is very happy now that they've reached the planet without any problems and he said, ok….. Soon 

        Capsule slightly slowed down on reaching the planet and entered the atmosphere there. Actually that atmosphere is slightly thicker than ours. So it took so much trouble to land. On landing nearly 10000°C heat is evolved. Finally out of all troubles they perfectly landed over the planet. Now they are only the planet WASP-2389 BLG-5487…..
