Dras-Leona, Parlim 1300
PSP Launch Point
The crowd watched anxiously as the ‘Cosmos’ Colony Ship was pointed upwards. The two hydraulic lifting arms were having a good workout, lifting the ship into place. The massive Cosmos was a feat of modern engineering, it had a streamlined box shape, with two ‘wings’ that folded into the body (containing the landing gear). Upon landing on the moon, it disassembled itself into eight modules, seven of which contain system functions, and the final one being secret that belongs to the Kiith Furio government.
A gaggle of Words Leaders and Representatives observed the events from the comforts of a ten-story booth, near the launch pad. The booth itself is adorned with almost every imaginable luxury. In the corner, a large television broadcasting a Holy Latin Empire channel, which was showing the launch unfold.
A voice started, it was the voice of President Jackson Maverick. He began the countdown. The crowd silenced, and listened. Eventually, he began the final 10-second countdown.
“10…”
“9…”
“8…”
“7…”
“6…”
“5…”
“4…”
“3…”
“2…”
“1…”
“Blast off!”
An orange and red plume appeared underneath the ship. It shook violently, as the force underneath it propelled it slowly into the air. There were cracks like thunder, as the secondary engines cut it, and sped the ship’s ascent. Another noise could be heard, over the rumble of the engines. Cheering. The huge crowd below was cheering. President Maverick, standing in the booth, let out a proud smile, and the ship went out of view.
The President turned, to the group behind him, he cleared his throat and said, "Let the party begin."
