We're in the future, to the point where humanity has the capability to travel further into Space, with Humans, within their life span. Technology has gotten good enough to allow humanity to build a ship powerful and advanced enough to reach new levels with the human race. You're a crewmen, aboard the UTX-78 Yarmanei Space Craft, engineered and deployed by the Russian Space Agency. The crew have members from all over the world, it's very multi-cultural. And even some beings from other worlds have joined the expedition.

 

The UTX-78 Yarmanei Space Craft is docked on Earth and the launch team are preparing everything for the big day. Checking then re-checking, training, then re-training, over and over, everyone worked hard to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. The world was watching and a mistake could be critical to the success of this project. The Russian Space Agency board were clinging to their collars, in hopes everything goes well, as if something went wrong, it could create a whiplash so strong, it could scar the Russian Space Agencies trust, globally.

 

Ubon Alter, a Russian Cyborg, far beyond any other model of its kind. Was to assist the crew, and report findings/carrying out secret missions for the Russian Government. Ubon was first created 20 years ago, and has saw vast amounts of the world, being deployed in some of the most hostile locations on the planet to date. It has always come back successful and without a scratch on its paint work. It's the Russian Militarises pride and joy, the toy they've spent hours and years perfecting. And for this Space Mission, it was given the best upgrades available, for the next 500 years. Often containing experimental, unbeknown materials from other worlds.

Nikolai watches the screen ahead, arms tense and propping him up on the lounge area's desk. There's a video feed watching the ship, and a newscaster relates the names of some of the newest planets the Russian Space Agency has charted so far. He breathes deeply and checks his watch, before pulling out a tiny flask.

 

"Last drink on the ground. Gotta make it count."

 

Shuddering down a long gulp, he starts heading for the meeting point. There's a binder of notes, email addresses, computer programs and everything else a person needs to understand and explore the wonders of the universe. And a pen. For when the equipment the agency provides can't cut it. He twirls it around in his fingers and hopes they've got a change of clothes on board. He feels far too overdressed, but it's probably necessary to put on a good show.

Everyone shows up the the agreed meeting point, for one last drink on Earth, before taking off to new worlds. Everyone raises a glass and says their goodbyes to their loved ones. Ebon, silently watches in the shadow of the astronaut bar, scanning all people involved in the flight. Looking for weaknesses and strengths among the crew that could be tactically of use if anything were to go down. After two minutes of scans, Ebon starts engaging with the other crew members. Often joking mostly, about how Ebon cannot drink, but instead should opt out for a can of oil. Ebon gets into everyone's, neutral books, at least that's what he thinks and tells his superiors.

 

After the party, the astronauts begin making their way to the departure. A huge red carpet is laid out, followed by the worlds most famous figures of its times. They greet and shake the hands of all the crew as they proceed up the carpet to their ship. Many photos and fond memories were made alone, on that carpet. They were treated like world stars that day, everyone wanted to be them, everyone was excited to see them. Ebon, made his way onto the ship, after doing 3 or 4 interviews for News and Media companies. Ebon greeted the engineers still making sure that everything was at optimal capacity. And made his way inside the ship, not turning back like most of the rest did, to give one final wave or kiss to their loved ones.

With a splitting headache and a well-practised smile, Nikolai gives his final wave to Russia and the masses of people flashing their cameras. It was finally time to leave, and he couldn't wait to see his set-up on board. That and see Earth from the outside. People kept telling him how simulations were nothing compared to the real thing; he couldn't wait to confirm that. He enters the ship and looks around.

Ubon enters the space craft and seats himself before the mission briefing for launch is started. The rest of the crew eventually make it into the ship and got comfortable with the environment. The crew settled down and the mission briefing from the Russian Space Agency began. Everyone is quiet while they received messages from loved ones and world leaders wishing them the best on their mission for Earthling expansion in the cosmos. After all the messages had passed, the Russian Space Agency did some final checks before setting the air  craft for launch. The mood on the space craft was silent, as everyone held their peace and prayed that the space craft has a successful launch. The count down began, Ubon shut down his systems until they would reach orbit, at which point they'd enter "hyper drive" which would sling the craft many stars into the blackness of space. Wither or not the "hyper drive" would work, is completely unknown.
