As Obadiah and Topanga are on there way to pick up Juan who is the photographer for this trip they make sure everything is going as planned. They are both very nervous for this trip because they have been preparing and for this for quite sometime now and it's finally the big moment. Obadiah, Topanga, and Juan are astronauts who were hired to go to space and explore outside of the solar system to take pictures and gather more information about planets and stars around us. Once they arrived to the launch pad they got their suits on and prepared for take off. All three astronauts took their seats and began the takeoff process. After what had seemed to be the longest ten seconds ever they finally began to move. The ship shook and made loud roaring sounds as it struggled to move off the ground. Loud crashing sounds filled the air as the rockets clamps disengaged. Finally after about twenty seconds …show more content…
the rocket was in the air. It was about two minutes of violent shaking and the loud roaring sound of the engine before it all settled down and all three of them knew they were in space. Once Obadiah knew they were in space he started the traveling process. Since Obadiah was the captain of the ship, no one bothered him during this critical process. If Obadiah were to do something wrong, for instance, make the ship travel to fast, the ship would explode and that would be the end of their journey. He set the speed and they traveled for about 2 hours leading them out of the solar system to start exploring new things. Juan pulled out his camera and started taking pictures of the new planets they passed and of everything else that seemed interesting. While Juan was doing his job, just taking pictures of their surrounding he noticed something sort of odd. “Hey! Do ya’ll see that over there” asked Juan. “It's just scrap metal and rocks” answered Topanga. “No, it seems to look like a ship”, then added Juan. That sentence quickly caught Obadiah’s attention, he then went over to Juan and looked at what Juan had described to be a ship. “That definitely is not just rocks, and if scrap metal looks this nicely built then we are riding in what seems to be trash” said Obadiah.
Obadiah quickly ran to the control panel in attempt to get closer to the object when he tripped on Juan’s camera causing him to turn off the anti-gravity switch. Obadiah did not think it was that big of a deal until he attempted to turn it back on and it would not allow him to. He clicked it multiple times and still nothing seemed to change. He thought that was weird, but then it got worse. Obadiah went to the control panel, he strapped himself in and tried moving the ship closer to the unidentified “scrap metal”. Obadiah quickly noticed that he was moving the lever, however the ship itself was still not moving. Obadiah stayed calm and told the others about the situation and tried fixing the problem. Hours after the incident the ship still was unable to move and they officially noticed they were lost in space. Topanga still was very curious to know what the “scrap metal” was so she turned on the emergency air to help them navigate themselves closer to what they then realized was another ship. However it was not a ship from their generation. This ship had new technology that none of the three astronauts had ever seen before. It was such advance technology that it did not even exist on earth yet, and that was the problem. The ship they spotted was not a human ship. The ship they had spotted was an alien's ship. Juan started to freak out because he was terrified that they might harm him.
Obadiah helped him calm down and explained to the two that the aliens were their only hope of ever getting home again. “All we have to do is catch their attention so that we can communicate and ask for help” said Topanga. Juan then said “But what if they try to kill us? Or even worse, what if they try to get to earth and try to kill the entire human race?” Once again Obadiah helped him calmed down so tha him and Topanga could come up with a plan to communicate with the aliens. The only problem is that if they are not human then they do not speak
English.
While Topanga and Obadiah were discussing this the aliens had already noticed them and shot a beam of light towards their ship catching their attention. Obadiah then went to the control panel and shot a beam back and the next thing they noticed was a bright oval shaped figure began to appear in their ship. Of course as soon as this took place Juan started yelling and hid under his blanket. From the light then appeared a person. He looked like an ordinary, pale, blue eyed person. “Hello, I am Glenskovian, leader of the planet called Zembo. Zembo is a small red dwarf planet about 3000 light years away from here.” Obadiah and the others were confused because they alien was talking in English. They looked at Glenskovian with a puzzled look. He then replied “I know you may be scared, but I come in peace. You are able to understand me right now because I am using a translator that was invented on my planet.”
