The ‘Miami ‘ had left the outer rim to head off into space on it’s pre programmed course? Over 200 American ‘Venturers’ as they were called, headed for deep space?
Technology had aided the problems that were part of the original program. Science had evolved to allow the side effects of gravity, of long hibernation in space to be heavily reduced. NOT that there weren’t casualties.
Who back on Earth would know? Beyond zone 2, communications would take years, to come back to the planet. Those who even knew of their existence, would be searching ancient history records for more details.
The Galacia Federa craft, had seen the ‘Miami’ as it passed it. Ahead a flare of light, that engulfed it. No surprise to the Galacia crew. Strange forms boarded the ‘Miami‘, to move towards the system consoles. Energy floods the front of the control panels. Soaking in, dying back, as the various parts of the air conditioning, the hibernation and life support controls are modified and updated. In the middle of the control deck, a large column like object appears.
The entire vessel is now stabilised, gravity normal. Air clean, purified and free of the usual gases leaked, from the engines used to power the craft. The same gases that seeped into the hibernation units and caused brain damage or death. Most Earth or as they called them HUMANA, craft, had reoxigenation propagation.
That recycled the oxygen, in the most efficient way it could, as dictated to by the current technology? The strange column did not recycle Oxygen and the necessary mix to support HUMANA lifeforms.
It biogenerated Oxygen, fresh and using crystalline structures, other important additives such as Nitrogen and such. The Carbon Dioxide was processed on the same level as plant life on Earth took it and expelled Oxygen.
The life support, venting, was no different from what the crew would have been used to. On waking the inhabitants, they would soon become aware of the added equipment?
Data streams would display information about it, how to work it, how to maintain it and star maps provided with details on other races, cultures, creed? What to do what NOT to do! There was no need for deep space hibernation. The crew could live aboard the vessel like some Earth home, in space?!
Food was provided within the deck, that propaged their normal foods. Plantlife rich in protein, in vitamins and other extracts, including one or two they had never seen before, that were essential to maintain their bone development.
The propulsion drives had been modified. They no longer leaked gases, the gas recycled from the exhaust systems replenished, with certain added silicon based derivatives, allowed for an almost endless supply of energy.
WHO ever they were, that had gifted them with such an upgrade of technologies to allow them to live in space, to travel and expand into space were as if they had never existed! Apparent after, they passed into Zone 3 of the known Qiverse?
A leap forward in TIME. Strange VERY strange. Several hundred years had lapsed and yet it was to them as though it was waking from sleep, having only just been put into hibernation.
The Danzui flux, as it is known, to those who gifted them. Aspects of space and time in correlation. The ever expanding and yet decreasing Qiverse.
For some, when their craft hit the outer rim and beyond. Like Serenia the daughter of Celeste, a time when she, with others, would learn new sciences, new skills. Not of Earth but of a future beyond the stars.
The Galacia Federa knew the race of beings. Could never talk about them or divulge their identity. Not that they wanted to, having promised not to. No it was not that. It was that they simply couldn’t!
Memory is a fickle thing. Especially when it came to this race. The ones who had over the centuries, observed the HUMANA grow, evolve. Knew sooner or later they would want to get into space. Watched, waited, studied them, their food, their water, their air. Their DNA and sub strings. Knew how they could survive in space. Gave them the gift to do just that. Of course they knew they could have modified the genetic DNA of the HUMANA to make them less aggressive.
For war is something the HUMANA were born to live and die for. Out in space they would need that spark to survive. There were others who were as deadly, as cruel, as savage, as indifferent. No ‘gift’ is entirely free.
New discoveries of minerals, resources, lifeforms, updating of their Qiverse mapping. Without knowing it, the races they gifted delivered to them, all they knew, all they were, all they found, discovered. Within every lifeform they ‘gifted’, was a an extra addition to their DNA sub strings. Totally in sync with all that was, the Elementals.
