Server: Raed

Project Malthus #2

Edited: So I fixed my mind and thought of a title that would link Server: Raed and Project Malthus Series #2. CSMR: Data Unknown. It's already up (again). Para sa mga gustong magbasa or sa mga taong gusto lang I-critique yung story, I'd really appreciate it if you comment what's wrong with it so I could still edit it hanggang 10 chapters palang ang nagagawa ko. May outline na ako hanggang Epilogue, I just need some critiques hahaha.  

Description:

What happened after Project Malthus left Earth 2000 years ago?

Waking up with only few memories, 9-13 finds out that she belongs to a rare specie living in Xintara, a planet where its people speak with their minds and her people was called Malthusians. With an unknown voice telling her what to do, 9-13 tries to know everything by herself. In a world where her people are known with codes, she finds a Malthusian with an unknown code that made her thirst for knowledge reach to the point that she craved for a forbidden secret.

With the help with the unknown voice inside her head, 9-13 finds out the truth about of her people that will help her to fight the Malthusian elders' injustice but she has to do a complicated task. She has to go to the home of her people. She has to go back to Earth.

Without enough knowledge of her homeland, will 9-13 survive?

And the preview chapter(this may change when you read the story):

The man pointed me a weapon with a long barrel-like tube intact with a handle. Instead of getting scared I stood up and studied the weapon which made the man press something that the weapon made a loud sound and something came out of it that shattered a door into pieces.

"That's a gun, Irya, it's dangerous," the voice inside my head said.

"The dangerous ones are the ones carrying it," I looked at the man who had his face covered with a transparent mask and a tube connects it with a small tank that's strapped to his hips.

"Sino ka at saan ka nanggaling?" I was surprised that he could speak the language that I secretly understood while I was in Xintara.

"I come from a different galaxy and your people called it Andromeda Galaxy?" I saw his expression change but he became stoic again, pointing the gun to my head this time.

"So you're an alien. Kung naiintindihan mo ang salita namin at magkaparehas ang katawan natin malamang isa kang high-ranking o ano man," I moved closer to clarify what I really am but he pulled the trigger. I was lucky to avoid it because if I hadn't my head would've blown up to bits, "We had extraterrestrial attacks before and I won't even blink when I kill you." I raised both of my hands as a sign of surrender, or that's what the voice told me to do anyway.

"I heard from my people that this is our home world, not Xintara, the planet where we're born. I came here to find answers about our ancestry." Another man showed up but he was not holding any weapon. Like the man in front of me he had a mask with a tank but I could feel his authority that made me step back.

"How long have your ancestors been in the planet you said you were born in?" Was the first thing he said. He was somewhat familiar to me but I can't remember who.

"About 50 years?" They both looked at each other and the man holding a gun put it down.

"Do you know the name of your ancestors?" I squinted my eyes at them before answering their question.

"We're not allowed to say their names but all I know is 'Project Malthus', does that ring a bell?"

More men with guns showed up and the voice told me to put my hands up higher. A flying object about the size of a pen showed up in front of me and flashed a red straight light across my whole body and flew away once it reached my feet. A lot of men surrounded me like I was heavily armed when I only have myself.

"Honey, do you know what year your ancestors left Earth?" I shook my head. He moved closer and whispered something to my ear.

"They left in the 30th century, it's year 5050 now," he looked at me from head to toe before I was electrocuted from the back of my neck.
