The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (5 page)

I said, “Yup.”

As we were approaching the sign, I counted

down, “Five, four.” And the LSC continued to say along with me, “Three, Two, One and three quarters, One and a half, One and One Quarter, One, One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, Three Mississippi, Four Mississippi, Five Mississippi, Six Mississippi, Seven Mississippi,” as we were right under the orb and the orb was closing in, and the vehicle and I said in amusement and in ecstasy, “We are here!”

Too bad we couldn’t high five each other, because I was in the vehicle and the vehicle doesn’t have hands. But I still said, “High Five!” I continued, “Say, can you give me your hand for a high five.”

The LSC said, “Sure, Why not. Anything for you sir, you are nicer than Iron Steel and that other one, Tom Jackson. In fact, you are the nicest buddy I ever had.” I said, “Why thank you very much sir.” He said, “No sir, Thank you.” We finally had hope. There is a one hundred and ten percent chance that we are heading to earth. We will be sighing relief. We just got through the orb and we are on our way to Earth.

Post, leaving the orb, we now officially entered the Solar System into our real universe. Finally, we saw big star gate. This star gate had a bunch of lines running across it, and this star gate was a tad bigger than our vehicle. This star gate looked like it was moving very slow but this star gate was an actual, optical illusion. It was a super massive field, and it was really moving faster than the speed of light. I then started talking again to the LSC.

I told the LSC, “Say, I have seen this in the movies. This also took place in some of the interesting dreams that I had about space.”

The LSC said, “Well, this is reality. It is unbelievable what kind of a universe that we live in.” I said, “Sure. This is a wonderful universe that we have. There are no wars here, no fighting, and no countries even. The universe is the International Community’s common playground. This really an amazing place and do you believe that this is an amazing place. It shows God’s plan for our universe. LSC said, “Who is God?”

I said, “What do you mean by asking the silly question ‘Who is God’?” LSC said, “No really, who is God?” I said, “God is the creator of our universe and all of the universes in the different dimensions. Don’t you have one million computer chips?” The LSC

said, “Of course I do, I was the one who told you that I have one million computer chips.” I asked “So, why don’t you know who God is?”

The LSC said, “I don’t know who God is because I wasn’t programmed to learn who God is.” I told the LSC, “So, God is the one who created our universe, the one who created you, and do you know where you can learn all about God’s creations?” The LSC said, “No.” I said, “Well, you learn about God’s creations in the Bible, a book that was made of God’s words.” The LSC said, “Here let me research about the Bible.”

I said, “Say, Do you have Wi-Fi in Space?”

The LSC said,

“What is Wi-Fi?” I was a bit surprised at this but asked, “You don’t know what Wi-Fi is?” The LSC said, “Wi-Fi is not known to my dictionary?” I said, “Wi-Fi is wireless internet.” LSC replied, “Oh, I’ve heard of the internet before. In fact, ATAAI (All Terrain and All Air Internet) was programmed into one quarter of my computer chips.

Say, do you want to play a game right now?” I answered, “Sure, what is your best game?” LSC replied, “Space Sim Two Thousand.” I said, “I’ll definitely want to play this game.” LSC said, “Which mode do you want to play it in. Here, there are three levels: Master Level (Hard), Pilot Level (Medium), and the Rookie Level (Easy.) Now, it is time to make your own decision?”

I said, “Alright then, I will decide the medium level?”

LSC

said, “Before the game starts, this is what you will do. In order to play the game, I will first give you the joy stick and the accelerator. The accelerator will move you forward, fast forward, or backward. Now we will get into the Joystick. The Joystick is used in the maneuvers in this vehicle. Followed by that, move the Joystick up if you want your altitude to increase, and if you want the altitude to decrease, please move the joystick down. Also, if you want the plane to turn to the right you know what’ll happen. This whole thing is basically selfexplanatory.”

I said, “Sure seems very selfexplanatory. I don’t believe that there will be any implications to driving this plane. I meant, LSC.”

LSC said, “Well, the game is a plane. And we shall start the game in just a few minutes.” As, a few minutes goes by and we are just driving through the star gate, it seems to me like driving through this star gate is forever, and I am thinking to myself about when in the universe are we going to arrive toward or near the sun, better yet, planet Earth? A few minutes went by and the LSC started to load the game.

LSC now said, “We are counting down from five, four, three,”

and then I said along with him, “two, one!” I said, “Here we go.” In the game, “Space Sim 2000,” I saw a simulation type of a vehicle on the screen and I turned the joystick to the right with a very tight grip.

It is not coincidental that I have a stronger grip with my right hand. That is definitely one hundred and ten percent the truth. I am far from ambidextrous. But, I can use both hands very synchronously in some cases. For the usage of this joystick, I think I will use my right hand because I only knew the vehicle for a couple of hours. I think that the vehicle might do something odd. But the game officially began.

The Space Sim 2000 logo showed and the logo was a green and blue. Because I wore the three dimensional glasses, the logo showed three-D. The font of the Space Sim 2000 logo was a space style font that had a symmetrical cleavage going right through it.

Behind the cleavage of the font of the space sim logo, there was a background that looked exactly like the star gate that the LSC was driving through along with me.

Then about one-second later, the logo on the screen disappeared in a way that really brought emphasis to the game; it helped make the game a really terrific game. As the letters, moved to either side in a synchronous way on each side of the word, I was getting excited and more excited to see the game. Finally, the game started. When the game started I really felt like I was there in the game.

The screen changed and the chair started to move as I turned the joystick to the right. This sensation felt like I was driving a plane, which was a dream that I always had ever since I was a lad. From different flight simulation games at home that I used to play when I was a young guy, I gradually worked my way up the ladder in the flight simulation games. So, this seemed like a piece of cake.

However, I saw the first Cosmos come through right above my vehicle in the game.

As the first Cosmos came through, I was like this is so cool.

The first Cosmos appeared to be defying the speed of light, which it was of course, in the game, and it had the appearance of a shooting star, except that it was past the virtual air space vehicle. The virtual ASV (Air Space Vehicle) looked like a small cabin. The cabin was a white cabin and on the screen you can view the vehicle from different perspective points. If you were viewing the ASV on either the right or the left side, it looked like a white and grey vehicle. The windows were tinted to be a charcoal to black color on the outside. On the inside of the vehicle, the windows were as transparent as can be. The opacity on the interior of the virtual vehicle’s windows was very low.

Now

, let’s get back to the screen. I saw an asteroid come by virtually on the aPad Style Screen and, all of a sudden, the interior window of the ASV had a red color and an abrupt crack was heard. A loud thud happened on the screen and, it was as if you would’ve witnessed the ASV’s glass breaking. I said, “Oh man!” The LSC said, “Why are you saying ‘Oh man’?” I answered, “Well I said that was because of the fact that my vehicle in the game got impacted by an asteroid.”

The LSC replied, “Well, I have to return you back to home.

So, I don’t get distracted, will you not say something suddenly like that which will make me feel like there is something wrong when there is absolutely not anything wrong.” I said, “Well, there was something wrong and I am going to put an end to that. Just let me continue with the game.” The LSC answered, “Well I am just saying.”

I said, “Okay. I get what you’re saying.” I returned back to the game and this time I saw an asteroid coming from a virtual distance of five hundred feet away. As the asteroid was getting closer, I began to put the joystick from movement mode to aim mode. I turned the joystick towards the asteroid and the asteroid became closer. As the virtual asteroid, got closer towards the vehicle, I started to hold on to the red button which would immediately target the asteroid. Finally, the virtual asteroid drew close enough to the virtual ASV and I fired the laser at the asteroid in the game. I received five hundred points. I thought to myself about how sweet winning such a mind boggling and challenging game this is. This is unbelievable that I hit the first virtual asteroid.

All of a sudden, one little meteoroid hit the vehicle. When the meteoroid hit the vehicle, my one moment of ecstasy waned suddenly.

My reaction was the type of reaction when one says, “Okay, let’s do this” except for the fact that I really said that same exact phrase of, “Okay, let’s do this.” My perseverance and determination showed because of the fact that I aimed the laser at the virtual asteroid. More meteoroids emerged and I tell the LSC, my guide to Earth and my guide to this game, “What do I do now? There are meteoroids coming at me?”

The LSC said, “Well, if you click on the aPad put your forefinger on the bottom of the screen in the game and drag the bottom up, the game will pause. From there, the game will pause without human intervention. After that, you will be able to change the settings by placing your finger on the on/off button for meteoroid aim.” As, he was giving the directions, I was performing the tasks, that he was giving me. Finally, I hit the on/off button and the game returned to normal and the play mode. I shot the five to ten little meteoroids that were coming at me and within a matter of seconds after I shot the meteoroids, I received about one thousand points.

Now I am puzzled as to why I received one thousand points for the meteoroids but five hundred points for an asteroid that I have received earlier in the game. I asked the LSC, “How come I received one thousand points just for shooting at meteoroids?” The LSC said, “Well, Master Joseph, the reason why you have received one thousand points for getting those meteoroids was because you have pretty good aim at the meteoroids.” I said, “Well, there are more meteors coming.” Another virtual meteor showed in the game and again, there was a laser shot at the meteor. However, this time meteoroids didn’t appear on the screen. The game said, “Game Over!” I said, “What do you mean Game Over?”

The LSC said, “The reason why that game said game over is because we are actually heading into a meteoroid tunnel, completely made of meteoroids, and some times the meteoroids could fall out of shape.” I said, “What do you mean it could fall out of shape?” The LSC said, “The meteoroid could sometimes come toward the vehicle.” I replied, “Well, that isn’t good.” The LSC commented and said, “No kidding, it aint’ good. So this is what I am going to do. I will give you the ‘real’ meteor joystick to stop the meteors from hitting this vehicle.” I said, “This is terrific. Well, when am I going to get the Meteor Control Device?”

The LSC said, “Well, you will get this MCD (Meteor Control Device) when the first meteor hits.” I said to him, “Look, the first one is coming toward you. I will now disengage the MCD.” The MCD

was engaged and I aimed the joystick towards the meteor and, hit the red button in the middle of the MCD Joystick that should destroy the meteor that was coming towards, us. This was not a game. This was reality. As the laser left the vehicle, my reaction was more like hope for the best but expect the worst. The worst would be the meteor would hit the LSC and we’d be crushed, or the best that the laser would blast that meteor into smithereens and we would win. The laser moved quite fast. It didn’t hit the meteor. I shouted, “Oh my God.

Look at what just happened! The laser missed the meteor, and the meteor might be coming our way. This is not good.”

The LSC replied, “Well, I don’t know about that issue happening. Say, how about you look up and see what is really going on.” I looked up to see what was really going on. The meteor was drawing closer. I said, “Well, we’ll be pulverized any second now.”

The LSC said, “No we are not!” As the meteor drew closer and closer towards the vehicle, I started to heave a sigh of relief as the meteor started to turn and go into another direction. The meteor was turning towards the right and it just about slightly missed our vehicle.

Meanwhile, the laser was still going.

As the laser had moved further away from the vehicle, another meteor was coming. I asked the LSC, “What do we do now?

Another meteor was coming and this meteor is even bigger.” LSC

answered, “Master Joseph, No worries. The laser that you fired intentionally at the other meteor is approaching this second real life meteor.” The meteor finally approached and a big grin was appearing on my face. When the laser hit the big meteor, little meteorite rocks appeared from the large broken meteor.

When the little rocks broke from the large meteor, I said, “So, Do I have to fire lasers at the little meteorites like I did in Space Sim 2000?” The LSC said, “No way Jose. We can bypass them easily if we enter turbo speed.” I said, “Can you perform the task of moving at turbo speed?” The LSC answered, “Well of course I can reach turbo speed!” I said, “Well why don’t we reach turbo speed?” The LSC

said, “We will reach turbo speed.” I asked in excitement, “When?

When’ll we reach the turbo speed?” The LSC answered, “We will reach turbo speed when I launch the initiation for turbo speed.” I asked, “Which is when?” The LSC said, “Okay, initiation sequence engaged, turbo speed launched in T-minus five, T-minus four, Tminus three, T-minus two, and finally T-minus one. Launched Sequence Engaged.”
