STARDATE 02.27.21
THE GRAW PROJECT
Captain Siddhartha floated in mid-air in a seated position. His eyes were closed. His mind was clear. His soul was at peace. There was only emptiness.
Captain Siddhartha could sense his Crew’s stress and anxiety. Their fear was increasing with each passing moment. Something must be happening on the Bridge.
A Connection existed between Captain Siddhartha and his Brethren. No matter the distance. Each of them was tending to their own affairs. Each one trying to make a difference in all that lives within the Graw Project. They were all at peace. They were One with Siddhartha. Warrior Poets ALL.
Someone was approaching. Someone unsettled. Someone full of uncontrolled emotions. She was full of fear. It was Captain Siddhartha’s First Officer. He opened the door before she asked for entrance to his chamber.
A beautiful Ghost-like Figure stood in the open doorway. Her body was transparent, including her flowing white hair. There was a sad expression constantly molded onto her lovely face.
“Omen. Be at Peace. What news do you bring to your Captain?”
“It’s the Centi again, Sir,” Omen replied in a haunting voice. Her light blue eyes settled on Captain Siddhartha. “Those bug fiends are about to attack Shambhala once more. Shall we move to intercept?”
Captain Siddhartha gently floated to the ground. He was clothed only in a simple pure white robe. He slowly moved to his First Officer and closed his eyes.
“Be at Peace, Omen. You are greatly unsettled. Rest your soul. Whatever is about to happen was written in the Book of Life long before either of us. We simply have to play out our roles.”
Omen nodded at her Captain. She sighed and took a deep breath. Her ghostly form relaxed.
“Yes, move the Zen into intercept position. Go to Red Alert. We will try to communicate with the Centi to avoid violence and loss of life.”
“And if the Bugs refuse to listen, like they normally do?”
Captain Siddhartha gazed at Omen with eyes full of love.
“Then, my loyal First Officer, the Warrior Poets will do as we have always done.”
“PROTECT LIFE AT ALL COSTS.”
