LIAR VAR Somewhere deep in space, the Phobetor cruised towards its destination. Its inhabitants tended to their assigned tasks, mostly in preparation for their arrival. There were only a few days left into their journey and they had wanted to make the best of what they could. Erie, the spacecraft's captain, had kept tabs on everyone’s progress, which made it near impossible for them to skip out on work. Humaira, however, had figured out a way around this matter. All she had to do was volunteer for the more menial tasks, anything that could free her time faster. And when the others were busy besting the ship, Humaira spent her time in her living quarters, in talks with Professor Smith. Their discussion, which was constantly one-sided and took about a good hour, mostly consisted of warnings and reminders. All of which she was already aware. His likeness was projected from a lens embedded in the wall, its full form stood in the middle of her room. “Remember to keep me up to date on your discoveries,” his feet began to pace, “If all goes to plan, then this planet could be our next home.” “This isn’t my first time working for you, you know,” she sighed, “I have everything under control.” “And don’t forget that whatever they are might be hostile,” he ignored her words and babbled on, “So approach with caution. No discovery is worth losing your lives over.” “The closer we get, the more paranoid you become.” she noted, “Any special reason?” “None, none at all,” he shrugged, “It’s just.. My entire life’s work depends on Project Artemis going well. And I promised my sister that I’d keep her safe.” His last few words went unheard as it was drowned out by Erie’s voice over the speakers. Her announcement sounded urgent, asking everyone in the crew to immediately make themselves present at the bridge. “That’s my cue,” Humaira walked through the projection, “I’ll keep you updated if anything exciting happens.” The door immediately opened itself to let her through. She stepped out and headed in the direction of the bridge. Her journey, luckily, was a relatively short one in comparison with the others. All it took was a few steps and a quick climb up the stairs. “You called?” In the bridge she could only find Erie, seated in the pilot’s chair with an excited look on her face. A look that Humaira had hardly seen. She was famously known for her no-nonsense demeanour. Curious, Humaira followed her gaze and immediately understood why, “Holy shit, is that it?”
Through the window she could make out an Earth-like planet, covered in blue and green. The sight of it brought tears to her eyes. In all her time as an astrophysicist, she had never seen a planet up close. A planet that looked exactly like home. “There she is...” she said in a hushed, awed whisper, “Have you ever seen anything more beautiful?” “I can't say that I have, no.” “Yeah…” at a loss for words, Humaira could only smile, “I can't wait to see what she has in store for us.”
