Orion Colony Complete Series Boxed Set J.N. Chaney (books for new readers .txt) 📖

I looked back down at the tiny oval-shaped planet. What had been my prison at first now seemed like home. We had made it such through our trials and tribulations, joys and successes. It had been a journey unlike any other that any of us had ever experienced. In the last five years, there had been hardship and not everyone had adapted well to the life as we learned a new way of living. We had lost a few colonists to natural causes and some not, but in true circle of life tradition, we had several new colonists to celebrate, including one born to Stacy and me.

I sat in the captain’s chair in silence with the rest of my crew.

“We did it,” Dama said breathlessly to my left. “Five years in the making, and we did it.”

“I can’t believe we have a way back home,” Elon said to my right. “I mean, we’re still years away from being able to travel in space and we don’t even know where Earth is, but this is a huge first step.”

“Truly remarkable,” Iris chimed in. The Cognitive stood beside me with her hands clasped behind her back.

“How is everything up there?” Stacy’s voice asked over the comm unit. “Laren asked you to take pictures, remember?”

“Oh, I remember,” I said, taking the battered micro camera out of my pocket. It was a miracle the camera had survived the Orion crash and another miracle still my daughter had found it. “You can tell our daughter that Daddy’s taking all the pictures she could ever want.”

“I never dreamed we would achieve this, not when we were warring with our sisters and brothers,” Tong said from his station behind me. “Six more years. I think we can achieve actual travel in space in just six more years.”

The five of us sat quietly on the bridge of the Orion II a moment longer. My brain was working on overdrive. We had done it. Against all odds, we had succeeded. My hand instinctively went to the medallion around my throat.

The Rung and the Remboshi were at peace. Legion seemed like some kind of made-up story you would tell around campfires. My family waited for me back on Genesis and now space travel was within our grasp.

For the first time in a long time, all was well, and I felt at peace.
