Ch. 8 Journey to a "New Earth" by Vincent


Dr. Erin

“He told me nothing about why he did this and he just pushed me out of the office.” I am telling Sunny about my experience in Paul’s office, “And he’s really strange these days.” “Well, I… have… no… idea… about… this…” Sunny answers.
Just then, the door of our room opened and we see Emmet walked in with a female astronaut and says to her: “Eh… This is Vincent, and that’s Sunny. They’re both astronauts from China.” And the he turns to us: “This is Dr. Erin, from the United States.” After greeting at each other for a while, Erin leaves our room and the Sunny and I turn to Emmet almost at the same time: “Who’s her? We remember that all the astronauts and doctors in the United States team are male. So how can she just suddenly appear in this spaceship?” “No idea,” Emmet answers “but all in all, she can’t be an alien or something, can she?” Emmet answers as he walking out of our room.
“Things are going very strange these days on our spaceship. Captain Paul Gave us so many rules some days ago, and today ‘Dr. Erin’ suddenly appeared just now. Don't you think so?” I ask Sunny in an anxious way. “That’s right!” Sunny answers few times faster than he usually does. So, I’m sure that he’s very surprised because of the things happening these days just like me.
When I am going to say something to Sunny again, Emmet and Erin come in our room again. “Erin is interested in how this huge spaceship works. Would you mind tell her about these things?” Emmet asks. “But it’s one of the most secret things about this spaceship in China. And no astronauts in China can tell anyone else about this!” I say to him seriously. “That’s… right…” Sunny repeats. “Oh, don’t be so serious. Eh… Well, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to tell her about the spaceship, I’ll tell her. I just know a little less than you two do.” Emmet says as he turns to Erin and begins talking again: “Look, our spaceship has 40 engines and if they work together, the spaceship can reach the speed that is about 1/10 of the light does. There’s a very strong shell outside our spaceship and no one can destroy it… Unless you…” “Stop it! That’s the top secret!” Sunny and I shouted. “It doesn’t matter.” Emmet seems to be not that serious. This time, we see a tiny green spot suddenly appears on Erin’s face and it slowly grows bigger and bigger. It’s just like the one you get when you hurt yourself inside your skin. When it grows to about 1 square centimeters, we both can’t control ourselves and asked Erin: “Excuse me, Dr. Erin, what’s that green spot on your face?” Then, a surprised expression appears on her face and she said quickly: “Sorry, the nature calls.”
Sunny turns to me and says to me mournfully: “A man called Michael who works in Nanjing HQ died with unknown reason.”
