During the war the messages send back and forth between Earth and the 4th Moon to check the ship's status were discontinued, it was supposed to receive updates on the location of the wormhole, but those never arrived and Earth and Mars were quiet ever since, as quiet as the black space surrounding the ship. The ship's computers took over and plotted a new course to it's destination, a starsystem far away with several planets with similar living conditions as on earth. Without the aid of a wormhole the trip would take more than 120.000 years, so the ship shut down all systems except those to maintain the crew's statis sleep and a program running in the background to power-up the ship in 120.000 years from now...hopefully there's still enough power left then to perform basic functions or the vessel will be drifting in space for ever, it's crew unaware... Almost at its destination, the ship slows down and navigates it's 1600 metres long hull gracefully through the asteroid belt surrounding the inner regions of the system, the on-board defence system destroying any asteroids on collision course with the ship. --------------- ship made with Wings 3D, extra details with bryce, textured in bryce. Background stars with Universe, background asteroids and explosions/fire with Particle Illusion. comic URL : http://nulll.darkwood.com/comic
