Novel: The Celestion-5 is set to be humanity's first manned ship to Neptune. For such an important journey, you'd think some care would be put into choosing the crew, but no! It was mostly random selection. Half of the crew are rookies fresh out of high school, and the other half are still absurdly young. This group of assorted goofballs will have to band together to survive the journey to Neptune and back. Updates daily at 9:00AM PST!
Newest Chapter: Mia comes into contact with pure, unadulterated nature. But how much is too much of a good thing?
Sample:
âJail timeâs not worth killing for. To me at least.â Mia moved her pine cone and rock hoard farther away from the shore. The back of her hand brushed against some grass. It felt surprisingly silky.
âIâm a pacifist, so murderâs kind of like against my whole thing.â Jun moved the same rock around in their hand. âThe captain seems veryââ They cut themself off. âHey Mia, you want this rock?â
âHuh??â Mia didnât register the question at first, too mortified at being caught petting grass like a weirdo. âSure, thanks.â The change in conversation was abrupt, but sheâd accept a free rock any day.
âYou look like youâre really enjoying life. I donât think Iâve ever seen you this happy before.â
âMe either!â Emil added.
Their words took Mia by surprise. She couldnât remember being this happy in a long time. Even then, most of her best memories were tainted, and being let down became so routine, she could only trust written words to bring her joy without disappointment. Sometimes those failed her too! Her books would always be there for her, but she didnât know when sheâd get the chance to experience this planet again, if ever. She should enjoy it. Nothing bad happened yet, so maybe she should let go of her fear, too.
âI knooow, itâs so cute!â Roxie gushed. âYou shouldâve seen her reaction to ants!â
Miaâs face grew red from all the attention. âUhhh, Iâm going to see about collecting more rocks.â
