Tyl walked down the steps, to the section of the Cha'mai archives that was never added to a computer database, most of these records were thousands of years old.
Where could that book be...... Ah here, the year of completion, my goodness this book is huge.
He turned on a light, set the gigantic book on a table, and opened it near the beginning.
Year 17 Day 42
Over the last twenty days, the senate has voted on a important series of bills, our country has decided to test our new rocketship and our new weapons, on a Moon orbiting the planet. no date has been set yet, but protestors have been rioting and there have been a few trys of sabotaging the rocket, none successful. the president has announced that we will launch before day 100 of this year. We can only hope this will bring our nation together as we explore space, and hopefully find some neighbors from other worlds.
Tyl closed the book after reading up to day 42
It had been so long since that was written, we now have a fleet of 6 ships, and have made contact with a planet called earth, there are so many nations on that planet it is amazing they havent destroyed each other, but, thats not important right now, the senate has been arguing for almost three straight days about testing a new ship, with the ability to destroy a whole Moon in minutes
Tyl looked up as he heard someone coming down the steps, it was Lar'l he looked very nervous.
"A bomb just went off in the senate, it killed 30 senators, almost half of the senate building is gone, there arent any suspects yet, but we think it was the Faction against launching the new ship, the President is going to be making a speech soon, I thought you should know. your brother was killed in the blast...I'm sorry Tyl."
"What? 30 senators, thats almost half the senate! my brother?...."
Tyl looked down and his faced changed from shock to sadness and then anger.
"What has the rest of the senate decided to do about the vote on the ship?"
"it has been postponed, and the rest of the senators were sent to their homes."

6 Hours Later
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyl finally got home, and turned on his viewscreen to see smoke billowing up from a building, he assumed it was the senate, but then read the ticker."
The presidents office! ****, how the **** did they blow up that!
his Vid-Phone activated, it was a call from Lar'l.
"Yes Lar'l? Yes I just saw it, who is responsible? are you sure? the fighting is in the capitol? What has the government decided to do? theyve been broken up? whos in charge? Ky'l, it would be him, he was part of the antispace group wasnt he? I thought so. Well what can we do? you have access to one of those sleeper ships, good, I'll meet you at 1200 hour. how many others will there be? ok, 1200 people wont be bad, can they be trusted? good.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
At 1200 Hour
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tyl carried the last of the written archives on to the rocket, and strapped them into a storage container.
"what are you doing?" Lar'l asked.
"we need to remember our past, in case we repeat it." he replied
The ships large engines ignited as it began to lift off, Defense Missiles launched from Cha'mai and impacted the ship, doing minor damage to the Hull. Bu the ship made it into space and began to plot a jump to FTL speed.
"Lar'l, look down at Cha'mai!" called out Reto one of the women helping to control the ship.
Explosions were going off all over the planet then 5 huge flashes went off from where the ships are launched.
"Jump to light speed! Now!" yelled Lar'l
The ship accelerated as it opened a gate to hyperspace, just as the jump was made, a shockwave of energy and large pieces of what used to be the planet Cha'mai hit the ship.
Lar'l woke up a bout 3 hours later, the last impact must have knocked him out. "Where are we." he asked.
"We are thirty minutes from the planet Earth." Said the navigation officer.
"What? it takes months to get there. that shockwave must have sped up our travel, send this message to Earth, use radio."
"People of Earth, We are the only survivors of a doomed planet known as Cha'mai, we are orbiting your planet in a ship that was launched minutes before our planet was destroyed by 5 huge explosions, we wish to ally ourselves with any nations on your planet, we have no need for land on your planet as our ship can hold at least 2 billion people, but we ask that we be allowed to stay in orbit of your planet until a time that we find our own home world. thank you.
Cmndr Lar'l
Leader of the Cha'main people."
