Distress call

The year is 5032. A few millennia ago Earth was approached by the Enduring Norinian Federation, an intergalactic alliance that who wish to unite and aid all life in the universe. Earth joined, which improved life significantly.

Skyler MacQuoid, at age 28, is the youngest human captain of the Space Rangers, a division of the Enduring Norinian Federation that enforces universal peace. This is the story of her riskiest mission yet.

“Pom, di pom, la di pom di pom.” Skylar hummed to herself, as she let the hot shower water stream down over her naked body. She loved the peaceful feeling of the dripping water. After all…

"Captain! You're needed on th-" A young, pink, six-armed alien stormed through the bathroom door.

…you never know when it ends.

Quickly covering herself, Skylar barked, “Officer Huugnin, is there any reason why you are intruding my shower time?!”

“I’m terribly sorry, captain!” She apologized. “But it’s urgent! This requires your immediate attention!”

Giving a quick sigh, Skylar wrapped a white towel around herself and followed the officer.

Entering the deck (and receiving various amused looks from her officers), Skylar listened to Huugnin. “We received news from Soran-Kovia.”

“The dictatorship that has refused the invitation from the Federation multiple times?” Skylar asked as she sat on her chair.

“The same.” A bulky, baby-blue alien answered. “ Apparently, there is a massive revolution going on, and the royal family has been dethroned.”

“About time.” Remarked Skylar. “That planet was a mess. It really can only look up for them.”

“Be that as it may…” a robot spoke. “But we received a distress signal only a few minutes ago. And it came from Princess Lyra.”

This surprised Skylar. While the Soran-Kovian royal family were infamously terrible people, their youngest daughter Lyra often spoke against her parents.

“Apparently she’s being hunted by the revolutionaries. Some believe that her acts of rebellion against her family were a hoax. She fears for her life, and for good reason.” A thin green alien spoke.

“What are your orders, Captain?”
