Description

It's been a week since Luke the Gerbils and Sach tested the rockets in space, but we have lost contact from the very early stage of their flights with Sach. On the radar, all seems to go to plan. At the height of 500 km above the crust, which is 100km more than the international space station, our rockets were rotating around the Earth in 120 minutes - meaning that they did 82 rotations of the Earth, minus the orbit setting and the landing preparation. Diamond Dee, Sach's rocket, seems to have started its landing de-escalation to Heathrow. Sach has reached 3000 m altitude and is going into solar orbit. Still, no communication is possible. Snail was shouting into the microphone. But nothing was coming through. Sach was approaching the Earth too fast. So we prepared the ground and called the Metaverse Hospital to get ready. Dr Mohanad arrived with his team, prepared to intervene. But, unfortunately, the rocket was facing the earth head-on and increasing its speed; Sach's tires were barely able to catch any air, Sach's wings were too short to rotate around the axis of his body, and the rocket got damaged before landing. And crashed on the tarmac. Where was Sach? !!! We got ready to enter the Hospital as soon as possible. Luke Gerbils managed to communicate with us from the other side of the world, ready to enter the atmosphere. Stellacat and Snail guided him without mentioning what tragedy happened to Sach. And While Luke was smoothly landing in his Azure Dee rocket, we saw something shining in the sky, flying in the breeze - SACH with his parachute. He escaped the rocket before it was too late and landed safely too. Luke and Dr Mohanad ran to Sach's parachutes, guided by Snail !!! Luke asked what Sach was doing. Snail fainted, being so relieved. Luke and Sach were looking at each other - they realised that they were good friends. Dr Mohanad said he was alive. Luke was shocked. But we all were safe and sound. Renate took the wreck of the Diamond Dee rocket and, with Kwigbelle assessed a few adjustments, but the flying machine could be repaired. Sergey reviewed the Communication devices - they were disconnected... But who did it in the first place? Was there someone trying to abort our Mission? And in the shadow, the Pirate was here... and disappeared. We must be careful of scammers and hackers who want to crash our Mission. Not such a significant loss in the big picture. We still managed to save some lives and gained some basic knowledge of Geo-Navigation... But it was quite an intense experience - but it made us stronger. We had a few rockets to finish a little work, but the test flight proved more than ever ready to fly above the sky. When we left the Terminal, Dom was there - he mentioned that a journalist from the french Newspaper 20 Minutes was there if we wanted to reply to a few of their questions… but when we exited the terminal door, not just one or two journalists… ... but we were surrounded by a horde of journalists starting to get interested in our Story. Sergey cried with excitement. He has always looked on with a thousand eyes. And Tagachi whispered - "To be a rockstar is one of the greatest gifts we can give to each other." Tagachi improvised a press conference - "The internet, the rocket, the revolution, are all very clever. But without you, it wouldn't have been possible. Without you, we wouldn't have made it.»"
