| Knowledge Of A Seeker -1- Posted by: Fahara at 12-19-2013 14:38 PM, Last Modified 12-19-2013 14:40 PM |
-=Nujema=-
The closet planet to home was Nujema all Seekers are instructed to go there and stock up on supplies and anything else we might need. Nujema looks do be a barren wasteland from above because of its two suns but in several spots you'll see an entrance door about the same size as the entrances to the subways on this planet. I ride up to one of these entrances and hope off my hoverboard and press a button so it retracts back into a disc that I click on to a holder I wear on my back, it has one diagonal strap that goes around my torso from the top left shoulder. I push open the rusted door and enter in to a dark hallway that leads to a staircase going down deeper into the ground. My eyes adjust to the dark fairly quick and I go down the steps. Once I reach the bottom there is a long bridge lit every 20 feet or so by torches for about 800 meters. Below I can hear rushing water. I ignore it a start walking across the bridge half way across I get sick of the swaying and said fuck it as I hop on my board to go the rest of the way stopping at the base of a huge column. It had two metal doors and it looked like an elevator to me so I pushed the only button which was down and got on as the evaluator moved down I began to hear noises, like the sound of people and vehicles, horns and bells so I turn around and I can see the city below me it looked like a mix of black market and rest stop in the part I was about to enter. The elevator stopped and the doors opened on the opposite side and then the smell hit me and made my fur stand on end and my eyes water a little not wanting to be rude I quickly got my self together and looked around. There are all types of beings here. There’s a banner hanging off to my left that reads “Welcome to The Ashima Colony: Rest station 2673” in about 7 different langue’s all though I could only read 3 of them from the studying back home.
I look up and I can barely see the cave celling just the huge sharp looking Stalactites that hang in between the giant towers place like a grid. I look at the map the towers are place like a grid for ever 40 square miles. I look at the data log every Seeker is issued at the start of their journey and the message my Teacher gave me which says –go to the Seekers market by the capital and may your knowledge protect you Seeker. I look around to find someone friendly looking. The first being I c stands at about 7ft and looks like the body builders here but less bulgy because of the height and the legs like a kangaroo. Well I’m 5’8 so that was a no go I was kind of shy and timid back then but if I didn’t talk to someone id get hella lost fast so I told my self the next person to walk past me I’d ask them for help. Soon enough a shorter figure in a hooded an dirty cloak walked past kind of fast I jogged to catch up and said excuse me. As I tap their shoulder the wind blow off there hood and under it was the pretest face I had ever seen. She was a Miceki, A race of beings that resemble a mouse. Her face was small, round, grayish blue and had little mouse like nose and cute little whiskers that twitched every now n again. Her eyes were a sexy deep purple color. She said “ Sorry I’m in a hurry I have to go see my sister at the capital” snapping back to reality I ask if I can tag along since I was heading in the same direction. She said sure as look as I can keep up and she continued at her earlier pace I follow close behind not wanting to get lost.
We turn several corners and walked seemed like 20 blocks before I got tired of the silence and asked her questions and getting to now her a little. She told me this was a rather old city that is mostly know for its rest station now and that the city and rest station are ran by the Miceki people. Her sister is in charge of the lower classes along with a few others. They make sure the lower class is not forgotten. She tells me about how life was growing up here and how the city is run. I add everything she has taught me to my data log right as we reach the capital. She says she has to go and that it was nice traveling with me. I ask if there any way I could contact her in the if I have anymore questions and she gives me her personal Miceki Code which she explained was like a phone number and SS id number combined into one and I added that to the data log as well. I Wave good-bye and say Cya as I look around for the Seekers building.
I found the building and it wasn’t hard because it was called SOK, Seekers Of Knowledge, but in our Kaliharian langue. Iv read about places like this and that there a few rest stations around with SOK for us to rest a restock. I walk up to the door look at the lock pad as I take the disc off my back and press it against the lock pad it beeps and unlocks. As the door unlocks it says “Welcome Seeker Fahara Thevoo”. I walk in and the whole first floor are little shops selling things like food, batteries, blankets, clothes, etc. and then there’s a lounge, library, meeting rooms and other rooms for various purposes but at the very top the last 10 floors look like hotel rooms. As Kaliharians we usually buy and trade things with knowledge but of both parties know the same information we have a form of currency. Seekers also get a set monthly amount to buy anything we want as we travel but if we run out we pretty much obtain money how ever way the beings of the planets we visit do.
I buy every thing I need and store in my RD or Rift Disc. Its like the backpake in videogames it and hold whatever I want with out weighing me down. I clip it back into my holder and head to the clerk’s desk on the 10th floor and rent me a room for the night. I get to my room and before I go in I look over the railing at the hustle and bustle down below and all the Seekers going to and fro the youngest being 21 and a few really old looking ones all having to same goal to learn all that we can about the universe and its inhabitants. I turn and enter my room, its not to big kinda fancy though with all the latest gadgets and I lay out my charts and maps on the bed to plan were I should go next .
I plane to explore the uncharted part of the universe to the NW of home and map out as much as I can to help complete the map of the universe, which will greatly help out my people. And I’ll stop at a few planets along the way learning what I can from each and bring one thing with me from everyone.
