We only need to key in these codes to launch the missile!"
They ran into no roadblocks on the way there, but they eighted down by a heavy silence
The H-bonals, so the shuttle had to be within 10 meters off the warship before it could be launched… The shuttle would definitely be consu the H-bomb was a sacrifice mission!

The young soldier accepted the codes with a candid s I want to say… Actually, one final word: I love the Hope like it is hbors smile at one another as everyone works towards a better future It’s a paradise on Earth… or I should say, in space…" Then he put on his spacesuit and walked to the shuttle hangar where the robot was already waiting It was progra soldier towards the nearest alien signal relay… the invisible battleship husk!
"We didn’t even catch his na soldier’s final candid shed, "It’s always the nameless ones… that surprise everyone"
The soldier seated hi from his neck and prayed as the Hope drifted further away from view
"God, please hearthe Hope, this slice of heaven where people exist in blissful harmony…
