Gunslingers of the Solarsphere

  H istory      October 3 3030      Hello my name is James Kumar O’Perry. I was made on October 3 3014. I live on the planet Grusama. Our planet was founded by Polars Anders the 1000 in 2020 . I am 16 years old. I am a robot; I’m not very harmful though. Before I get into the details about me let me tell you about our history. On August 25 2020  Polars Anders the 1000 was made the first ever man to make 500 functioning robots in under 5 hours. So Nasa asked him to go on the next space mission with Clob and Roug. He said yes. Little did Polars know the ship would crash on Grusama. Polars was sad that he would never see his family again. So then he decided to make a civilization of robots. He brought extra metal and a duplicator with him. So he used those materials to make 2,000,000 robots. It took him 20 years. Soon after, there was an attack from a nearby space station. After that Polars upgraded the robots codes like never before. The ...

The cycle of Juna is comprise of five phases each with their own unique weather patterns.  The Junian calendar started in the first epoch, referred to as Renewal. Renewal is where there were rotations of light and dark and mostly cold or cool.  The winds were strong blowing mostly from the south into the northern hemisphere.  Most Junians did their crop planting in this cycle.  This epoch was also where most of the fresh water rains occurred.  The Junians would collect as much of the fresh water as they could to carry them through to then next Renewal.  Renewal lasted 100 rotations and ended when the ground started to heat up with the long rotations of light and shorter rotations of dark.  Renewal faded slowly over to the second epoch more commonly called Growth.   Growth was much hotter than Renewal with longer rotations, the heat and light of the day got longer and longer as Growth moved through its rotations.   The typical Growth ...

Just keep going Kip. Be strong for him. Be the thrusters fine-tuning his path. The journey out from Terra Duomo had been tiresome for Kip Grove. That is not entirely true, not just the journey. The months leading up to the journey had been even more tiresome, saving all the credit, scrounging parts to upgrade Marengo and her companion pod Fair Winds . But it started well before that too, with the years of decline and debate. Dad always provided. Long solo hauls out in the black for months on end mining in the belt, for Ma and me. This is what is best for him, so he can finally be at peace. Kip waited until Terra Duomo did a pass by Venus to disembark. Venus ’ solar orbit is nearly circular, meaning Terra Duomo would be at its’ closest point to the sun whenever they arrived. The scientific stations on Mercury are not home to many people, and do not require the administrative support and extensive re-supply that Terra Duomo provides throughout Earth system. “Short trips and la...

Terra Duomo is home to 100 million of humanity’s brightest and bravest, making a mark in the black and supporting expansion out into unknown systems. Everyone is familiar with the obvious successes of Terra Duomo . Self-sustainability from solar power and hydroponic gardens and farms. Scientists and researchers discovering all the mysteries of the Solarsphere. Disciplined gunslingers exploring and policing the void of all habitable systems, Earth ’s and beyond. A true monument of the space age. Void city constantly moving and administering throughout Earth system. In this series we will uncover the unsung heroes of Terra Duomo , stories of the ice-haulers, exobotanists, entertainers and mechanics. Regular spacemen and women who support humanity’s expansion as much as the explorers and gunslingers. Send in your stories to be featured on Humans of Terra Duomo . Whether it is a stroll through the inner levels of the void city, a trip out to some rock in the belt, or a creative way to c...

The Book of Origin In the beginning the Creator made the upper and the lower. Within the upper the Creator made all the peoples of Eloi and they lived in harmony for eons. The lower was land and sea and all the creatures of Eloi were created in the lower by the Creator. The peoples of Eloi could travel to the lower to enjoy the fullness of the Creator’s glory and in enjoying this fullness the Creator received joy and was glorified. There was a harmony among the people, the upper and the lower that the Creator made. The dance of life was harmony, love, balance. The creations were great and all were sanctified in the Creator’s love. The great balance existed for millennia, through cycle after cycle. The peoples had not perception of time or death or non-life. They existed in harmony with all things created. The peoples included many different groups. Those that were blue, green, red and yellow. All the peoples shared in powers but some unique peoples were specialize...

Sombrero Galaxy , 31.1 million light-years from Earth System #1129 In orbit of planet SG#1129/2, “ Tectonia ” Approximately 146.6 million kilometres from the nearest Solarsphere   Life keeps moving, if you cannot adapt you will get trapped in the past . Captain Baxter rested his hand on the bulkhead, his heavy heart juxtaposed with the lack of gravity. The looming mission had caused him many nights of deep anxiety, but he trusted his science team to the end. He read the mission log from the Gunslinger’s Society for the 300 th time: “Jake, planet SG#1129/2 is an enigma. We received a mysterious radio signal from there, to our first probes in the system. Nothing else has come through since and we have been unable to collect any data on the planet. Figure out why our probes have pulled no data from it… If there are undocumented alien species, document them, interrogate them, and kill them if necessary. I want a full report, and do not return to the Terra Duomo until the m...

Noah’s Journal thoughts 1011 cycles from origin. Origin is believed to have occurred in cycle 24,444.   Over 1000 cycles ago our ancestors were brought here to Juna.   The legends tell of a great wind that took beings from the Eloi to Juna.  They were taken from all over Eloi from everywhere.  It seemed that the wind went across all continents picking up passengers and dropping them on this distant Juna.   The ancestor’s planet, Eloi, had many continents filled with all types of beings and four distinct races.   When the wind ceased there were over 150,000 beings on Juna.   Unique peoples form Eloi lived separate lives but on Juna there was no possibility segregate, so the ancestors worked together.  Now it is customary to see scrubs start out with the blue and to come into their adult life with the green and many different combinations.  I am a healthy mixture of all four of the peoples of Eloi.   My dear w...
