Twelve: E.T.
Everyone went inside the space jet as the tense and pressure continues to overrule their discrete emotions. Matt proceeded to his pilot seat and Hamada joins him to be his co-pilot. Then the rest finds their respective places leaving the captain seat empty for Dr. Chan.
They were like space rangers in their newly morphed modified space suits. The suit was no longer the traditional white, thick, and heavy clothing with a bulbous helmet and a hump of oxygen tank on the back. But a metal-skin-like garments that tightly fit to their bodies and a redesigned oxygen hood that folds if unused and activates when needed.
Everybody knows how perilous will the mission become. And a bit of their sacrifice will possibly impede the dangers that will commit to the whole universe. They are all having this what-if faces and blowing sighs of tension. But one particular man whose name is John is distinguishable from the rest.
John was turning pale and his hands were violently shaking in nervousness. Judy, who was just next to him, noticed this right away. This concerned her and tried to leave from her post to help John in his condition. But not long then John detected his uncontrollable flaws and managed to stop himself from quivering in fear.
Seeing this, Judy settled back and uttered the word "buckle up" as her modified space suit was suddenly sucked up by a magnetic seat belt that attached her firmly to the chair. While the rest are still doing their individual businesses as they prepare for the next launch.
Dr. Chan was the last to enter the vessel as followed by Dr. Holly who was giving him out his funny pack and his modified space suit. And the moment Dr. Chan touched the suit it suddenly disintegrated and climbed into his arms until to his whole body like a swarm of ants and it solidified into body armor.
He passed through the mesmerized Dwaine and Noirren who was sitting in trance looking at the skylight getting caught in a deep thought. Dr. Chan reached the captain seat and slid his hands over the chair feeling the last moments of his peace.
'I JUST HOPE EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE IN THIS MISSION. WILL IT BE?" (Dr. Chan doubtfully thought)
"(Exhales deeply) Matt, play the E.T." Dr. Chan called to Matt.
"On it Doc," Matt replied as he pressed the audio option in the control tab.
Matt accessed the unlimited records of sound tracks as he funneled the
"Oh dang, I think I'm starting to feel good." Dr. Holly uttered.
"Now come on Dr. Holly. Matt! Hamada! She's all yours now," Dr. Chan invited Dr. Holly downstairs as he left the operation launch to the two pilots.
"Now that's what I've been waiting for. Let's burn this baby Matt." Hamada delightfully replied.
"Hai!" Matt responded in Japanese language as they began to start the engine and emitted fire power ready to blast off.

[Kanye West:]
I got a dirty mind
I got filthy ways
I'm tryna bathe my ape (ape)
In your Milky Way (Way)
I'm a legend…
'THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE ADVENTURE THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IN MY ENTIRE BORRISH LIFE. WE'RE GONNA BE LEGENDS. GOSH I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT HAPPENING. BUT DANG, WHY AM I SO TENSED?" (Dr. Holly excitedly thought)
"Dr. Holly..! Come on!" Dr. Chan reminded her.
"Yeah, be right there Doctor. Come on Dwaine, we're gonna need you in this." Dr. Holly answered as she invited Dwaine to go downstairs with them.
"Ok," Dwaine followed as they go downstairs.
--Music Continues Playing—
…
Step into the fantasy
You are not invited to the other side of sanity
They're callin' me an alien a big-headed astronaut
Maybe it's because your boy Yeezy get ass a lot
You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing
They say, be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light…
--Downstairs—
Dr. Chan, Dr. Holly, and Dwaine left the upper floor as they went into the down floor of the vessel to set up Dwaine's part in this mission. When they got beneath, there they saw tightly secured walls, floors brightly lit, exit pods lining up, and an egg-like capsule was erected on the center.
"What is this room?" Dwaine curiously asked.
"In this particular chamber young lady is how'll we gonna track that sleazy Bunnyterrian King Codemus. With this egg~ I mean capsule, this magnificent machine ever created by mankind is going to lead us straight to him with your help." Dr. Chan briefly explained.
"Wow, so what am I gonna do?" Dwaine commented.
"Dr. Holly..!" Dr. Chan called unto Dr. Holly.
"Yes Doctor?" Dr. Holly alertly replied.
"You may begin the protocols." Dr. Chan commanded to start the procedure.
"Copy that Sir," Dr. Holly responded as she began to turn to one of the protruded walls and typed something on an invisible keyboard that the capsule suddenly opened.
"Whoa-hoh…" Dwaine was surprised.
"Now, you may enter lass." Dr. Chan tells her to enter the recently opened capsule.
"Um… am I gonna be mummified in this dinosaur-egg capsule? Cuz… I don't wanna be hatched like one." Dwaine doubted to enter.
"No, you're not Dwaine. You'll just sleep on it. And besides it's a comfy bed, I'm sure you'll gonna have a sweet dreams when you do." Dr. Chan convinced her.
"(Exhales sharply) Ok, fine, I'll do it." Dwaine finally agreed and attempted to enter.
"And oh, before you proceed, please take off your space suit. We will be met with troubles if you don't." Dr. Chan instructed her.
"I don't really understand but, ok. Um… how can I take this off again? Cuz ugh..! This is so complicated (grunts)." Dwaine complained while having trouble taking off the space suit.
"Ok, let me," Dr. Chan help her as he grab the neckline of the suit and it loose off instantly from Dwaine's body.
"Well, that was easy." Dwaine said in disbelief.
"That's because you never read the instructions before you engage. Now, tic-tac young lady we're almost running out of time." Dr. Chan replied.
Dwaine went inside and finally settled in. She rested her head on the comfy bed and relaxed her body as the half-part of the egg-capsule gradually closed. Unexpectedly, the capsule became transparent and Dwaine saw Dr. Holly and Dr. Chan giving her thumbs up outside to cheer her up. By and by, she began to feel dizzy and shortly her senses went shut.
"Oh, I hope this is not going to where I thought it should be," Dr. Chan looked forward as this left Dr. Holly confused about what he just said.
"Um, Dr. Chan… I guess we better went back upstairs." Dr. Holly reminded him.
"Oh, yes."
Dr. Chan agreed and the both of them together went back upstairs to join everyone who was waiting anxiously while the music plays. Dr. Holly went to her place and buckle up. The rest followed and Dr. Chan went straight to his captain seat and likewise buckled up.
"ANNA," Dr. Chan called to AI ANNA.
"YES DOCTOR?" AI ANNA replied.
"Disengage the gallery." Dr. Chan commanded AI ANNA to prepare a path for them to take off.
"THE GALLERY WILL BE DISENGAGED… PLEASE EVACUATE ALL PERSONNELS FROM SECTION 14 D… THE DISENGAGING OF THE GALLERY WILL BEGIN IN FIVE… FOUR… THREE… TWO… ONE… GALLERY HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DISENGAGED..." AI ANNA operated the sealing of the section 14 D area as one of the gallery's wall began to split in half and it made an opening for them to exit the empress ship.
"Thanks ANNA," Dr. Chan thanked.
"ANYTIME DOCTOR…" –AI ANNA
"Hey, Matt…! Set the vessel to auto-pilot channeling the mainstream of the tracking capsule beneath us. You won't be steering the ship today." Dr. Chan ordered Matt.
"Well, that's sad. Ok, I'm channeling it to the capsule." Matt obeyed.
"Oh men, I really thought we were gonna be driving the ship today (sighs)," Hamada said in disappointment.
"Hamada..!" Dr. Chan called out to him.
"Yes Captain!" Hamada alertly replied.
"Please do the honors of the countdown." Dr. Chan assigned him.
"Copy that Sir. Buckle up everyone! Grit your teeth, bite your tongue and don't let your mama down. Launch procedure activate… in TEN… NINE…" Hamada starts to count.
"DOCTOR CHAN, YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FROM CAPTAIN COCO." AI ANNA interrupted as Hamada continues to count down.
"Proceed ANNA," Dr. Chan permitted as the skylight suddenly summoned a holographic screen portraying Captain Coco.
"Hope you don't die guinea pigs. See you in the afterlife Duckie…" Captain Coco empathetically left a message.
"No way in hell," Dr. Chan replied.
"THREE… TWO… ONE… BLAST OFF!" Hamada finishes as Matt then immediately pressed the launch button and the space jet dashed off out into the galaxy leaving the empress ship in the speed of light.

You're from a whole 'nother world
