Distances Between Stars

Summary:

I searched but never found you.
The paths we traveled never crossed
And now my life is winding down,
And I fear all hope is lost.

-- By Patricia A. Fleming

Chapter 1: Face to Interface

Chapter Text

-3rd Pov-

 

The world has been evolve years to years, and it’s not uncommon to see something unusual these times, from a flying skateboard to the magical spacecraft.

You the other hand, are the one of the most unusual event in history, the first human who was born outside of the earth, in other means, in the space. Born from 2 astronauts for experiment, and being monitored and raised by AI and scientist from distance.

Never meet your parents, never inhale the air from the earth or see the landscape of the horizon on the earth. You feel very alienate, well literally you’re not from earth, you’re just a human serving as an experiment for the better good in this spacecraft.

It’s not like the scientist are evil, it’s just makes you think.. why you? The one who had to be here with these loneliness and alienate feelings? Why you? Who had done nothing to deserves this situation in your life?

 

 

 

 

It’s not fair.

 

 

 

Your head starts spinning, your chest feel stabbed as you—

 

“(Y/n) are you okay? Calm yourself, take some deep breath.” Oh, the scientist, Blake? Or it’s Luth? Ah, it’s Old man Eldritch.

“Okay you’re good, I told you already (Y/n), if you had anything you want to share we are here for you.” Yeah, because you’re the only ones that you can get contact to. After that thought, you feel imprisoned, the only one you can call are them and only them, you had no other person to share your pain, and yet… it’s not like there’s anybody else know your pains, and sufferings.

“Nothing, it’s just my chest acting up again as usual.” You said monotony, while the scientist is really kind to you, but you couldn’t help yourself but be skeptical of them, you don’t know if that kindness is genuine or it just the surface of their mask.

“Right, well, by the way, the new recruits and volunteers will be here today, maybe one or more hours till they get here.” Great, just great, more people to be suspicious of. You just nodded, didn’t know how to respond that, so you just going with the flow, can oppose the nature force.

Que sera sera, right?

What ever will be, will be.

Isn’t like everything happens there, on the earth, will affect you who are 641.23 million km away from the earth. Away from your parents home planet, lonely in the vast space near Jupiter’s nature satellite: Europa, the one of the place that could be able to support life, and a possible candidate for the second place for human planned to colonize.

“Nothing much to report here, well the Europa is still cold and very… icy. Though, I still believe that Titan is perfect candidate.” Of course they would want your help to observe Europa, it’s rather a effective way than observe it from distances with a telescope satellite.

“Great job there, so I’m gonna do my work, I will contact you again when the new recruits arrived.” And then you left alone again. Wondering what you wanted to do in this free time, you decided to the garden room and see your poppies there, and maybe munch some tomato.

“Welcome our newest comrades, my name is Eldritch Nikolaevna. I’m the director of Ebott Space Agency Corporation, some of you might know me from the “Astronomy and Astrology” seminar two months ago.” The old yet wise human introduce himself in front of the new recruits.

So just like how you see, some of them are monsters, they’re ascended from the Underground, they were sealed by the 7 Magicians, and being erased from the history.

And of course, the historian and archeologist were gone crazy about this, they’re the one who opened their arms to the monster race first before everyone else, they one to study them and teach them about human’s history and knowledge.

“Then let’s proceed to the next step, you will be divide to some group and will be supervised by your senior here. Hope you enjoy your work here.” And then he left.

“Okay so, let’s get move then. Please look at your ID Card, you see the color right? Please gather around with the people with same color.” And the group was made, of course, Alphys and Sans were at the same team, Team Blue.

“Well Team blue, my name is Luth, your temporary guide and supervisor, this way please.” The team blue, were filled with 3 monster and 2 human, walk through the hallway.

“I-I can’t believe we g-got accept!” Alphys with her accent, Sans just chuckled and sighed.

“welp, don’t doubt yourself.” Even if you see Sans just like always, inside he’s giddy because he got his dream work, to work with the space in here, his dream come true!

“Don’t lie to yourself Sans, we know you’re nearly broke your bed because you got your acceptance letter, Papyrus told us.” The Cat monster, named Bush called him out. Blush creeped on Sans’s cheekbones, he need to talk with Papyrus about confidential information.

But hell yeah, he’s happy, he’s the happiest he will be in the past few timelines. He’s about working his dream work on just about right now!

“Okay, here’s our base, we mainly work at Astrophysics, Biology, Robotics. We also work at finding the most habitable space object, and analysing about how we could colonize it.” And then the introduction about the base continues, Sans didn’t really paid attention on the guide, his eyes bore at the image that captured by the telescope satellite, the image of Andromeda Galaxy.

“… and Alphys and Sans will be my assistant for awhile until you can figure what you have to do.” Luth signaling them to follow him, he lead them to the interface, and there’s was everything that only scientist and astronomers could understand.

“This is our main workshop, and here we will be doing the most work around here.. with special guest of course.” Sans quirked his imaginary eyebrows, someone special?

“If you want to be mysterious, Luth, congratulations, you are failed.” Most of the blue team surprised with the voice coming from the interface, and then the interface displays a very human beings, who are floating in front of the camera.

“(Y/n) at least let me give them a mysterious vibe of myself.” Luth whined towards the interface person.

“Hmph, isn’t like you’re a mysterious person in the first place.” Ugh, Sans and Alphys feel the jab for their supervisor, this person is so blunt or too honest for their own good.

“Hey you must be the new recruits, the old man Eldritch told me about. Yahallo, my name is (Y/n), just (Y/n) nice to see you.” Honestly, Sans would think he saw his reflection, just look at their face, that face is really tired of reality and the world, but they don’t have any other choice but to walk it like a normal person.

“Ah yes, this is Sans and Alphys, they will be working with you in the future, I hope you can be good friend for each other.” Luth introduce them, Sans just mock saluted while Alphys just gave them a wave.

“At least they’re not bad as Blake.”

“I HEARD THAT!”

“FUCK YOU BLAKE, FUCK YOU!”

--Sans Pov--

 

He couldn’t help but feel very interesting of the person behind the screen. Who are they?

“As they say, they’re (Y/n), they will be the helper through our work.”

“BLAKE, HONESTLY DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY, DON’T SEND A CORRUPTED FILE! YOU WILL DEFILE MY HOME!”

“And as you can see–”

“SORRY!”

“–They and Blake have–”

“I NEED A FILE BLAKE! NOT YOUR DAMN PRIVATE PORN WEBSITE!”

“–very hate–”

“FUCK (Y/N) DON’T YOU KNOW PRIVACY!?”

“–love relationship.”

“SHUT THE FUCK UP LUTH!” Yeah he can understand what Luth mean, they’re very.. passionate about each other.. in other meaning.

“Okay, everyone go back to work and in one hour you could eat lunch.” Luth said to the everyone in the base.

“Sans, Alphys, and today is a free day, you don’t have any work to do, but you two could use it to know more about (Y/n), because they have a crucial position in our work.” And then Luth left them to help the other recruits.

“well..”

“BLAKE, WHY THE FUCK IS YOUR COMPUTER STORAGE ALREADY REACH IT’S LIMIT CAPACITY!? AND WHAT ARE THESE 'HOMEWORK' FILES!? DAMNIT BLAKE!?

“I-I think we m-may need to wa-wait for them to calm down.” Sans just nodded, he didn’t have much more stamina to do something about that. Nah, he rather just see this from sideline and prevent something that could cross the line.

“BLAKE? BLAKE!? OMFG, OLD MAN WHERE ARE YOU!? THERE’S MALFUNCTION ON OXYGEN CIRCULATION AND GRAVITATION SYSTEM! BLAKE IF I DIE HERE I WILL FUCKING DRAG YOU TO THE HELL WITH ME! YA HEAR ME!?”

“Remain calm, Dakota my child, here let me help you with Gravitation System, you repair the Oxygen Circulation.” The old director said with calming vibe, the person behind the screen just grumbled about everything there was Blake fault.

“Okay now everything is back to normal, you okay there, child?”

“Yeah, I will be very okay if Blake wasn’t nearly made my heart stop beating everyday. And for the last time, old man. My name is (Y/n). I will go eat lunch, you know what to do if you need me.” And then the interface ended, leaving a black screen in front of them.

“M-may we ask some qu-question?” Alphys asked, while raising her hand.

“You may Ms. Alphys or is it Mrs. Alphys?”

“Ms. Alphys i-is fine. Who are they? I-I mean Oxygen C-circulation? Gravitation Sys-system?” Okay, he just think something similar with that, he just gave the director the look to explain his friend’s question.

“Well, Ms. Alphys, (Y/n) (L/n), or just (Y/n) is the child of the two most talented Astronauts from Asian and European. They are the one of kind.”

“that still didn’t answer anything bud.” Sans prying, while Alphys nudged his elbow. Well, you can help but curious right?

“…well, yes. (Y/n) wasn’t a normal kind of human, in fact they’re the first human who were born in the space, yeah something like that. I’m afraid I’m not in authority to tell you more.” So their existence is confidential even for the worker here? Hmm.. that’s kinda suspicious.

“O-oh so they’re in space!? Oh star! Sans this is amazing!” Well beside the suspiciousness, he agreed with Alphys, that was kind awesome.

“yeah, that’s cool man, geez, and we will be there soon right Alph?” Something like butterfly dance in his soul when he said that, he with spaceship in the space, where all his dreams belong, Papyrus will be happy if he could come with him.

“Soon, my comrade, your race will be there to feel the sensation of leaving this planet.” Yeah, FUCK YEAH!

“S-sans what are you do-doing?” He paused what he just did now, he just did something embarrassing, he just fist air and jump like some idiot.

“ah, cough, sorry kind lost it for a second.” Yeah, he need to remain calm and be patient, just like he did in the Underground, he was there for centuries, he could wait some more years.

--Your Pov--

Stupid Blake, he always made my heart jumped, just how the hell he always managed to infiltrated my system with some ridicules viruses? Ugh, why I must remind myself of that.

Even I always manage to update my system for every 5 hours, but how the hell he tear them up just for a porn file? Is he a natural genius or just his clumsiness? Only God knows.

Munching the tomato from hydroponic garden, I stare at the nothingness from the spaceship’s window. Couldn’t believe that I’m alone in this vast nothingness even after 19 years of living in here.

Just..

Why me?
