Theodore started to activate the main engine, the Vitaes engines roared like that of a wild dragons spitting flame and ash. He felt the ship moving up with the stabilizers activating in almost a second. His path had been drawn, his engines were glowing hot and they were ready for liftoff. He then moved his throttled the  engines with more speed sending the ark forward towards the atmosphere. Through his interface he could see the desert plain of africa becoming smaller and smaller. It was a sight he would never see again and he knew that. Maybe one day his grand grand grand son would come back to the cradle of humanity to take back the home which their ancestors had fled all those ages before. But for all that he knew they would explode mid way because of a bolt being loose. He chuckled to himself a little as he imagines the entire ship exploding while a single bolt fell into the sea. It was a rather dark thought yes. But Theodore had always had some fucked up humor. His scanners showed the fleet that would escort them to the eye. It wasn’t the biggest or strongest fleet but  they would soon all die anyway protecting those who would live to fight another day. He wondered how jealous they all must be watching the lucky one’s fly of with the golden ticket. But he still respected the fact how they all did their jobs anyway knowing full well that death would be inevitable. He  looked at leroy for a moment who was staring into nothingness. He snapped his finger right beside his ear making the man almost jump.” Back from the dead?” Theodore asked laughing at Leroy’s misery. 

Leroy looked at him and calmly replied back. “ Oh i’m doing fine Theo, I’m just contemplating my existence at the moment so if you would be so nice to let me continue that would be grand mate.” Theodore padded Leroy on the back chuckling to himself.

“ When this is all over you and me are going to have some fun down at the hub alright?”

Leroy rolled his eyes. “ I’m not dragging you back to your cabin like fucking last time. My shoes still reek of your puke must you know.”

“ Yes yes, it’s all very tragic. I shall write a poem about how tormented you were with the smell if that makes you feel better.”

“ Remind me why we're friends again?”

“ Because I pay for all  your drinks.”

 “ Good point Theo, very good point.”

Theodore was about to mention the fact that he still owed him a round of poker when the alarm started to go off. The entire bridge descended into chaos. The peaceful humming of the human machine was now a thing of the past as humanity's brightest were panicking like chickens without heads. Theodore was simply surprised and also a tad bit annoyed. His annoyance would quickly turn into stone cold fear as he  looked at what had appeared ten kilometers to the left. A devastator ship at least two kilometers in length had appeared heading  towards them. A moment later the ship fired its beams crashing against the shields which had taken most of the damage. He heard a scream towards him to go full throttle and get the heck out of doge. He had tried going full throttle before in the simulations. And that went perfectly. However in that instance the ship hadn't been hit by a ship never seen before. Theodore quickly put that thought at the back of his head and went full throttle steering the ship away from the enemy vessel and heading towards the eye that was still so far away.

"Theodore after we're done with this you're buying me a drink. Actually on second thought you're gonna give me a bottle to call it even."Theodore laughed and nodded." Hell if we survive this i'll  give you two bottles . Leroy grinned already imagining the sweet sweet Whiskey bottle in his hands. He would have to take good care of it though considering the fact that bottles like those would quickly be extinct. Theodore quickly turned towards the admiral realizing he had forgotten to report. " We left dock and are heading for the eye sir !". After that he turned around and awaited further commands. As he looked at the scanners he saw the destroyers and other vessels that had engaged the Devastators ship. The silence always creeped him out. But he knew that nothing could really be done about it.
