The Future Imperfect

Chapter One

In the year 12809 of Empire, aboard the starship 'Prometheus'...

"Another day on this blasted ship and I'll go insane..." Lux muttered to himself, his tail flicking in annoyance. The ship ha been traveling for six months with no sign of a safe place to land the onboard shuttles.

"Oh relax, Lux!" Came a voice from the adjacent hallway. This voice belonged to Linux, a somewhat simple minded protogen who also served aboard the Prometheus.

Lux rolled his eyes and turned to face Linux, his irritation still evident "Easy for you to say, Linux. You're not the one stuck on this ship for months on end with nothing to do."

"Hey, we've got plenty to do. There are maintenance duties, equipment checks, data entry, and even those endless video game matches," Linux replied, his carefree demeanor apparent.

Lux sighed, his wolf ears twitching and his tail flicking back and forth. "Been there, done that." Lux replied, obviously sick of being aboard the Prometheus.

Linux, ignoring Lux's obvious annoyance, kept rambling endlessly about the stuff to do aboard.
"-And we can play pool, and we can--"

"Be quiet!" Lux snapped, now fed up with Linux. "I'm sick of your incessant blabber!"

"Geez, relax!" Linux responded.

In that moment, the ship mad it's final hyperspace jump, then, a planet can into view.
"Attention all crew, we have arrived at P2X-B." Came a voice over the ship's intercom

Lux smiled "Finally, I can walk on solid ground again!"

"Ooh! I wonder what it looks like!" Linux said excitedly.

The two rushed to the window, only to be met with... Disappointment.

"It's... Gray..." Linux said

"Yeah I can tell." Lux replied

The ship drifted into orbit, before the first shuttle disembarked, to drop off supply and some crew.
