Our space pod was able to fly in a designated pathway created by the guide lights which were suspended in the space with low boost energy jet. It was done by the Heinsberg's Milkyway branch to guide the Andromeda's branch. I was able to look outside because there were projectors in the pod same as in Metagalactic Hawk, but these projectors were present for each sitting person's view.
Initially this mission was operated by the Heinsberg branches of only two galaxies, 'Andromeda and of course Milky way'. Milkyway was obviously involved in the mission since the planet's country that was facing the sudden outburst of deathodd virus was in it.
But, drastic and calamitic failure of Andromeda's branch due to a certain division ahem! Division 135, they had to cease the mission for former branch for one week.
For one week, this mission was handled by the Heinsberg's Milky way branch. This mission was composed of two mains subjective. First one was the extermination of the remaining deathodds and rescuing the stuck people. Second was to simply maintain peace and harmony until their country is rebuilt and help them in rebuilding and to not let any casualty occur among the people.
Now, all the Heinsberg's cadets are to take part in this mission as doing the hard work alone proved to be much tiring for Milky way's Heinsberg, that we are going to interchange our duties. Their mission will be completed and ours will start.
For this mission each division is divided into two subgroups. First one is called "demolishers". It consists of both defiant and normal ones. As the name suggests this subgroup will be involved only in the extermination of deathodds.
Second subgroup is simply called 'overseers'. This group is just for the lookout and to help in rebuilding the destroyed areas, buildings and houses. It is to help the poor victims of the catastrophe. Overseers basically supervise in overhauling of destroyed Emerald nation.
..
I was immersed in recalling everything that Clawford said in instructions while gazing outside. Just for a moment I even forgot that Hoover was sitting beside me. I was thinking deeply about what to do in the mission and how to perform well.
Just when I remembered that Hoover was sitting beside me I heard a whisper that was kind of strange. It was odd because it was like, it straight went into my ears and rang only in my eardrums.
"It looks like you are really enjoying all of this!"
I immediately turned my head in all directions to find the origin of the voice but could not find anyone talking specifically to me. Even Erick and Andre were talking, who were the polar opposites of each other.
"So it is this bad that you don't even recognize my voice?"
Oh, now I understand whose voice was it. Because it was whisper, I had some doubt but after hearing the former sentence now all my doubts are cleared.
I turned my head to look at Hoover with narrow eyes, "Why are you talking like that?"
"Easy you fool! Our cover would be blown, stop thinking like you are at your mama's house! Whisper like me!"
"What? I thought after having an experience of death your gutter tongue would be clean, but it seems like, I was wrong about my own son." I was really weirded out, how the hell our whispers were reaching each other so easily.
"You dog shit, do you have any idea how bore I am all the time? Even in the training you don't talk to me, I always had to initiate a conversation for starting your training. You didn't talk to me in the space craft and even now when I am sitting beside you, you cruel ugly bastard refuse to talk to me." Hoover complained like a possessive wife.
I gave Hoover a frown with no expression on my face to question his whole act.
"Stop with that look! You even gave someone else my place!"
Hoover whispered angrily.
"I did not give anybody your place, don't worry about Gil and Rich. I had to be friends with them because of Old Seth."
After listening to what I just said Hoover gave me that same questioning look I gave him some moments ago.
"What?" I asked him frustratedly in whispers.
"You think I care about that!?"
"Then... were you talking about Emma!?" I asked thinking I was right this time.
Hoover gave me a dumbfounded look, "Of course not you asshole! I know you don't want to talk about it, that's it."
"I really don't know what you are talking about!?" I desperately tried to prove my innocence.
"The way you look at Clawford-"
"Yeah, what about it?" I interrupted Hoover in midsentence.
"What about it? It is not a big deal for you? You used to look at me with that lustful gaze in your eyes."
"Lustfu-" I almost said it loudly, "What do you mean lustful and I never looked at you with those eyes, stop it!"
"Hmph, now you can try to dodge the bullet all you want but even Ellie knows the truth." Hoover turned his head straight.
"Stop dragging Ellie into this. If she heard about this, you know her fantasies will be wild." I tried to make him aware of the unseeable danger.
"You don't talk to me, and I just want to tell you that ignore me all you can, at the end your brain will force you to remember all the good times we had together." Hoover refused to listen to what I just said and kept on spouting his bullshit.
"What good times, it was just two years. We have known each other for only two years; those two years will be overwritten by anyone." After the completion of my sentence Hoover looked at me with teary eyes filled to the brim with shock.
"I am just kidding. You know how much I love you right my son!" I joined him in his little act.
"I love you too, son!"
"Stop it! Everybody knows you are my son."
"Everybody who? Any ways how was it spending a whole week in the new world, away from your family." Hoover finally asked me something of importance.
"I cried almost every night." I told Hoover the truth. I saw his lips trembling, he must be thinking about his parents and family. But it soon stopped.
After his lips stopped trembling, I asked him, "Hoover, how the hell are our whispers this loud to each other?"
"I saw it in my favourite show, I just imbued the soundwaves with lightning similar to how a telephone works and directed it straight for your eardrums. I did the same with your voice."
"Huhhh!" I gasped in a dumb way, because it was an utter shock to me that my friend possessed this much intelligence.
"Easy, you dumb horse! Look almost everyone turned their head backwards to find the origin of voice."
"Now, let's stop talking and look outside. We will not get to see how it feels like to land on a planet after travelling in a space."
..
After Hoover and I stopped whispering to each other, I looked outside through the projector. I saw a sphere of blue colour with a small design of green colour on it, similar to earth.
I guess every planet needs to be similar to earth if it wants to be a habitable one! Well, soon I saw a lot of clouds around our space pod. It means that we have entered the atmosphere of planet Aquegor, following the path created by the guide lights.
Our destination was Emerald nation so we must go directly to that area, extra time or a tour was certainly not allowed.
"Hey, we are soon going to land at our destination! Hope all of you are ready!"
Niall declared while controlling the yoke of space pod.
"Alright!" Emma stated.
..............
After entering the borders of Emerald nation, I understood why it was called EMERALD! The green fields I saw were surreal. I was astonished after seeing the unblemished beauty of those fields, but soon there were some small signboards visible in the air, suspended similarly like guide lights.
It simply meant that we entered the area where operation was still ongoing.
Our space pod was now flying above the area, which seemed like the airport of my world. It had huge concrete roads; our space pod was the first one to arrive. It had huge square markings for the landing of space pods.
Niall gently pushed the yoke in downward direction and our plane started to stoop downward.
.....
After we landed on the airport, in front of a control tower, we were instructed to stay in our pod until all the space pods arrive.
"Hmm, looks like that's what we have to do, huh!"
Emma who completely rose up from her seat, after hearing to the microphoned voice coming from speaker hanged outside the plaza that was on the airport, sat down.
"We only saw two other space pods coming behind us, the rest mut be... super slow!" Niall yawned.
"Oye! If you are sleepy, why did you pilot this?" Tom questioned Niall in exasperation.
"Hmph, this is outrageous! You think anyone of you is qualified enough to control this baby?"
"When did I say that!?" Tom asked Niall with highly scrunched eyes.
"You meant that didn't you!" Niall formed a smug face.
Turning my head in the window projectors direction I saw two pods landing in the marked square just like us, it was space pods with numbers 133 and 134 written on them.
I think they are going to land in descending order cause the first one to fly was our group, the last group on the list.
.........
Man, would you believe that? It took almost thirty minutes for all the space pods to arrive at the airport.
After every space pod landed the speaker announced for all the cadets to come out from their pods. Listening to the voice all the 2060 cadets came out from their pods forming group of 16 at some distance from other group.
-Leader and vice leader of all the groups are commanded to stand in front of their team side by side.
Listening to the voice, Emma and Erick stood in front of the group with their hands behind their back.
-Leader and vice leader are guided to separate their team members into demolishers and overseers. Demolishers are to appear at the left front building of control tower and overseers are to appear at the right front building of control tower.
Heeding to the announcement command, all the leaders turned backwards to instruct their members and divide their teams. Emma had already decided who would be demolishers, and who would be overseers. This was decided by her on the criteria of who would be useful in what category.
Our team was divided into exact half with eight members being in both categories. Seth, Norde, Elizabeth, Melora, Emma, Andre, Brock, Albert were in demolishers group.
Overseers group constituted of Xaden, Tom, Niall, Erick, Lawren, Merivale, Bates and Tara.
As you might have already guessed possessing or not possessing a caliber is not the criteria for joining a group. How useful you are going to be in each group is the basic criteria.
