We’re traveling past the new system Plutonomy at Warp 2. I have been informed that there is a new nebula forming past the 6th planet. They say there is valuable plasma gas inside. My plan is to be the first there to collect it all and sell it so I can stop wandering in space.Log date, 2492 Two more days have passed and my co-pilot and I have been hearing about a race to be the first there.

It’s going to blow!” I screamed.We both turned and………………………………………….I was abruptly awakened. I looked up and saw that I was in a shabby, square looking room. I could recall seeing something of this nature in my history book. Suddenly an odd looking lady walked in. I qu...
