The capital star.
It was the star that was surrounded by planets that had a lot of resources. The inhabitants of these planets were the rich elite and a few of the struggling second class families. Inorder to live in one of the planets of the capital star you need a house. It was a mandatory requirement.
Getting a house in a planet whose every inch was worth a normal person’s life time supply of money was very had and maintaining that life was harder. The original owner only had one hundred thousand lilin coins, the currency of this place, he wouldn’t last a week in this place alone and now that he had an extra follower he needed to see what planet he owned.
Covered in black from top to bottom, they walked through the crowd of people who were either auctioning, scrambling for thing o genuinely buying. It was the place Adia had brought them, it was inside a giant sewer duct, the area had a bad smell but even though he wasn’t from this time period he could see that what they sold were good.
“The rtia black market, we could get what we want at a cheaper price,” Adia said pulling him, “What we need first is augon battery.”
It was a battery that could be used to charge any space ship in case of lack of star energy.
Adia was very active and in no time they had bought many things.
“Is there a place with seeds?” he asked the boy who was packing what he had bought.
“Seeds will hard to find since no one in the capital star does planting and If you do find them I am sure they would not cost less than a thousand lilin coins,”
“I see,”
“Where are we going next,” the car started Kieran looked at the boy beside him and sighed.
“You know where I want to go the question should be where are you going?”
“I will follow you,”
“What of your family?”
“Them…they kicked me out you saw how I looked when I came to you,”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“Not really,” Adia replied, staring out the window of the spacecraft. He had left his home behind without a second thought, feeling like he had nothing left to lose. They abandoned him first. The boy beside him, Kieran, although his friend but time had changed him he felt like a stranger, Adia couldn't bring himself to open up to him.
“Okay, as long as you are sure, type in the coordinate,”
“[Censor 327] – UNCLASSİFİED.
Star: F class
Distance from star: 1.3 AU
Mass: 1.73kg x 10⁵
Diameter: 21,456km
Gravity: 3.70
Atmospheric density: 6.5kg/m³
Gravitational acceleration: 20.67m/s²
Orbital period: 568 d

[Due to the asteroid belt between Rtia and Censor 327 it will take you eleven earth day to travel.]
After the electronic voice said that Adia sat back and the car started moving. It was on auto pilot.
As they left the planet known as Rtia Kieran couldn’t help but marvel, all around the planets were space ships both huge and small travelling through what looked like transparent tubes. Their car entered one tube and stopped at a check point where a robot checked their identification and their destination before letting them go.
The car hovered inside the tubes for a while before it got out and then suddenly sped up.
It was a beautiful sight. Adia got up after a while and pressed something on the wall, a table like panel appeared and he lied on it and a dome covered him.
It was interesting.
As they traveled through space, Kieran found himself lost in thought, wondering what his future held. He had no plan, no purpose only destination. All he knew was that he didn't want to go back to his old life, where he felt suffocated and trapped. Trying to survive and not get infected by the virus, trying to survive and not get killed by your colleagues, just trying to survive in a dying planet.
Hours turned into days as they traveled through the vast expanse of the universe. Adia woke up several time to eat what he had called a nutrient solution, he seemed tired, Kieran also slept several times. But other than the fact that Adia would not let him out of his sight when he was awake they lived like roommates who were only slightly familiar with each other.
As they sat in the cockpit of the spacecraft on one of the days, Adia turned to Kieran and said, "I think I know."
Kieran raised an eyebrow. "Know what?"
Adia took a deep breath. "I’ve always wanted to make weapons, I mean I have the power to control metal elements."
Kieran looked at him and without asking where he would get the raw materials he asked. "Are you going to sell them?"
“Mmh, I will sell and see if the people around like to use it,”
“Okay tell me where I can help,”
