Phoenix Down
Cyrus finds himself in a dangerous position. He isn't sure if his parents are dead or alive. Their ship is damaged. He also knows that there is either something wrong with the navigation system or the ship has somehow been sent very far away from their original location.

First he suit up in the zero-gravity suit that is his size and heads out to try and repair the ship's sensors. It takes him a long time to make any progress. It isn't fully repaired but he will at least know if another ship is on the edge of his range for sending them a wave.

He gets back in and continues to work around the ship trying to take stock of what is wrong with the ship. Main propellsion doesn't seem to be working right. He isn't in too much trouble he thinks. He just has to see about sending out a distress call to get more help.

Changing back into his normal clothing he makes his way back to the helm of the ship and takes over a seat.

His implants whirl as he interfaces with the ship and prepares to send a distress call.

"This is the Rising Phoenix to anyone who can hear us. Our ship is damaged and we are missing some of our crew. We have no idea where we are and are requesting assistance. Please. If anyone can hear me. I need your help. I repeat this is the Phoenix Rising."

The message gets repeated several times. Then Cyrus gives up and stares at the display in front of him. He doesn't want to admit that he is afraid but the trickle of fear starts to pool in his stomach. The ship is just too quite without his parents here.

	"FEAR NOT! YOUR CRIES FOR HELP WILL NOT GO UNAIDED!" A booming voice answers back over their comms, as a large head-shaped ship comes into range. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Cries for help? It had just been a distress call. By the Light he had no idea how to react. But he finds himself almost smirking. But still he needs to at least talk to the other ship no matter how strange it is. "This is the Rising Phoenix. Please identify yourself. I-- We are unfamiliar with this sector of space."

	"YOU ARE SPEAKING WITH VARON - THE HYPER TEEN!" One of the eyes of the ship opens and Varon flies through the void across to the other ship, looking for an entry hatch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cyrus blinks slowly. He sees that and it's rather weird to see. But there are stranger things out there. "Varon. Please look for the green indicator lights. I am preparing to give you entry to the Phoenix." Green lights blink alerting him to where the voice is leading him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After securing his entry, Varon swaggers his way through the ship to the bridge. "How may the Hyper Teen be of service to you today, distressed mortal?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was a long process to actually let him in. The ship had made sure he wasn't carrying anything dangerous by way on anything contagious.

"My ship was damaged when we encountered a spacial anomaly. My parents were on the outside of the ship repairing the sensor array when it hit. I can't seem to find them and my ship is pretty much stuck. The engines are damaged and I think there is some kind of error in the navigation readings. This says we are only seventy eight meters from our previous location. But.... That can't be. The stars are wrong."

	"Hmm... the workings of my hyper-mind suggest to me that you have indeed not moved that far... ACROSS SPACE... but... across dimensions may be a different matter." He takes on a grim but dramatic expression. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"By Great Ceaser's ghost...... You sir are wrong." Cyrus is glaring up at the other teenager. "That's impossible!" No Cyrus is wrong. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Varon thinks it over again, then examines the ship's instrumentation.

"No... Varon doesn't think so. Aside from some variations of dismissable significance, these star readings are consistent. You are most certainly at a relatively fixed position. Dimensional travel is the most obvious answer. Are you experienced in it at all? There was one time the Hyper Teen and his father, VARTOX - The Hyper Man, journeyed to meet with the Vok of Nexus Zero. Charming creatures, the Vok. If you ever happen to be in the Nexus Zero, look them up, you will not regret it."

	"No. We don't have anything like that. Have you been drinking? Partaking of the Fruits of Mindoria? ...... Are you a Morophian?" The hair isn't glowing so he really doubts the last question. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Varon fixes the puny mortal with a stern gaze. "How DARE you, sir? The Hyper Teen is a proud citizen of the city of Tynol, great bastion of civilization on the planet Valeron, and the shining jewel of the Sombrero Galaxy!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But you appear to be an adult. The Fruits of Mindoria are taken as a part of a spiritual journey. I've been told that afterwords it inspires men to become heroes." He gives Varon a wide eyed innocent look. "Are you not a hero? One who has been inspired to do great things?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	the_hyper_teen 2010-07-24 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"Naturally Varon is a hero. He has taken it upon himself to aid in the protection of the backwater planet known as Earth. It is a strange place, to be sure, the locals are so very delicate, and it's horribly culturally stagnant, but it is a lovely place. The food alone is worth preserving the place for."

	"You're in the wrong sector of space then, Varon. Earth is in the opposite direction. I don't remember the last time we were there." He trails off and sighs. "I need to get the engines back on-line." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Varon was merely out for a leisurely cruise after tuning up his headship. It would be a simple matter to bring you back to Earth. Your ship should land, or at least achieve a stable orbit, before you expose it to any delicate work." He looks around.

"It lacks some of the interior comforts and flair of Tynolan technology, but it is a suitable ship for your purposes, I would imagine."

"If I am in an alternate dimension.... Is Earth capable of interstellar space travel? My parents were surveyors for a company that did terra forming projects on the frontier."

He shakes his head. "I don't know if I would trust them with my ship. I'm also a minor by their standards. They may try to force me into some kind of foster care since my parents aren't here. Would it be possible for you to tow me somewhere else? I'm sure there's a space dry dock somewhere."

	Varon rubs his chin in contemplation. "Earth is... an unusual planet. It possesses numerous outcroppings of technology, but for the most part, is not galactically integrated. Varon also regrets to admit that he is not certain where else he could bring you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You....have no idea?" Cyrus is surprised. He really would rather not go to Earth. Not until he gets his bearings and has a way to leave it. This is very disappointing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He coughs into his hand nervously. "Varon is... not actually from this galaxy. He is still learning the layout of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
