19th December 2038 Soon the greatest adventure in the human races history will commence.
The Emperor has given the order for Galileo and the both defence groups to move to the first wormhole and there wait for the go ahead to try Galileo’s jump engine.
31st December 2038 16:02:00 The Imperial order are received at 1600 and 2 minutes later the Galileo engages her jump drive and vanishes.
31st December 2038 16:01:45 Sol
Galileo Bridge.
Communications officer Valdez: “Captain message coming thru the pipe, we are ordered by the Emperor to proceed with the plan to test our jump drive”
Captain Daniel Andrews: “Ok Valdez, give me ship wide communication.” “Okay crew, we have got the order to proceed”
Engine room, technician Plato: “Okay lads prepare to fire her up all hands not tied down do it now.”
Galileo Bridge 16:01:45 Sol
“This is the captain speaking, now hear this, all hands to their stations, I repeat all hands to their stations and prepare for jump”

Captain Daniel Andrews: “ All stations report in to Valdez, all damage report to me”
Senior Sensor technician Petersen: “Captain we don’t have sensors, don’t know why”
Captain Daniel Andrews: “Start a diagnostic program and find if it’s a malfunction or worse”
Senior technician Petersen: “ Ay Ay sir!”
Captain Daniel Andrews “Valdez, any other problem?”
Communications officer Valdez: “No sir all stations have reported in, no other damages have been found and I made a short range message burst to the fleet, they haven’t answered”
Captain Daniel Andrews “Okay, thanks”
31st December 2038 16:02:35 somewhere
Senior Sensor technician Petersen: “ Sir! We are working again, getting a lot of information, we are not in Sol System, computer are placing us in Ross 128, some 10,89 LY from Sol. We seem to have an interference on our sensors after we exits a wormhole, seems to be around 30 second lag”
Captain Daniel Andrews: “Okay Thanks Petersen” “ All hands, now hear this, we have travelled some 11 light years in no time!”
From the ships speakers a mighty HUUURRAYY hears.
31st December 2038 16:10:00 Ross 128
Senior Sensor technician Petersen: “ Captain, the third planet is frozen but can sustain human life, with help of course, its temperature is -132 Celsius ”
31st December 2038 16:10:45 Ross 128
Senior Sensor technician Petersen:“Oh My God, the second planet is larger than Earth by 85% and a bit hot at 51 degrees Celsius, but the air is breathable and all of it is covered by water…”
31st December 2038 16:11:00 Ross 128
Captain Daniel Andrews: “Okay lads, we are going back to Earth and report this find, alla hands prepare for jump!”
31st December 2038 16:11:05 Sol system, Galileo appears again, the fleet hails her and get the news about a working jump engine and what was found on the other "side"
