WALL-E and EVE In Love: Wonderful to hear from you. I haven't updated in a while since people don't leave reviews and the fact all the times I make guessing games which nobody EVER responds to unlike those who do make questionnaires, they get responses and after a while, I get sick of it. Not to mention hardly anybody voted for options that I leave for readers to choose . . .
SimonSeville27: . . . . . what announcements?
DISCLAIMER
First founded as Bagdasarian Film Corporation by the chipmunks creator Ross Bagdasarian Sr., Ross Bagdassarian Jr. and Janice Karman holds rights to The Chipmunks under Bagdasarian Productions.
James Maury "Jim" Henson created fictional muppet Kermit the Frog.
A character of the American horror-comedy animated television series, Katz is one of the villains in Courage the Cowardly Dog cread by John R. Dilworth.
The typist's mind wondered, his warped task of receptionist duties slowed by the strange chipette he saw earlier.
The elevator doors to the BRIDGE LOBBY opened. Chief Ixis tram hovers off without giving notice to the typist.
When the receptionist looked to see the tram leave, he sees the very strange chipette, her hands bound with energy binders along with an E.V.R.E. scout who sat next to her. The scout didn't seem pleased at all. The chipette notices the anthropomorphic frog and waves at him who enthusiastically waves back, the only being kind enough to acknowledge her whenever someone needed to go in or out of the BRIDGE. She waves even more as her tram disappears out to the LIDO DECK, making the typist's day a little brighter.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Jeanette waves back at the nice cotton candy haired dodo bird at the receptionist desk, she was kind enough to not raise the alarm, so he waves her a friendly goodbye, which she happily returns.
As they leave the lobby, the chipette turns her attention to Simon, who looked distant and irritated beyond measure. Jeanette didn't understand why for she busied herself searching for the plant, thus not paying any attention to what went on around her. Loathing the tense vibe Simon emitted, Jeanette opened her mouth.
"Simmons?"
"Do not speak to me."
Simon didn't look at her, zoning out her attempts to get his attention with a warning hint. Jeanette pressed on.
"But, Simmons, what's wro-" Simon elbowed her hard in the side, the force of his augmentative strength practically cracked a rib.
"Ow!" she groaned.
"Shut up!" his voice sharp, and threatening, the anger in his expression looked worse than his combat stare.
Jeanette gasped at the stabbing pain and at his response, realizing whatever Simon was upset over, it's something about her, though why Simon decided to take his anger out on her was beyond the chipette.
Jeanteer sat there in disappointment and with a possible broken rib, her mind wondering between how she's going to reconnect with Simon and where the tram was going.

Meanwhile, on the BRIDGE, the captain prepared to go to his quarters for the day, to find out what the strange specks left on his hand by that 'Jeanette' fellow they sent with the lieutenant to the WARD.
He stares at the dirt and grime on his hand, wondering how anything this filthy is presently on board such a sterilized starship.
"Weird."
"Sir?" Katz hears him from the helmsman station.
"Oh, its- just this day has been interesting enough, more than any day in that regard. A false plant alarm, and that strange Jeanette. I've never seen someone like him before."
"Neither have I, sir. I took the liberty to do a manifest search of all possible passenger and crew names. And so far, the name 'Jeanette' does not appear within any of the ship's records."
"That's very odd. How about where he's from and what is he?"
"I most certainly do not know, captain."
"Hm," the captain tries to speculate any possibility of whom and where he along with these specks came from.
"Oh, well, the WARD will let us know further about. I'll be headed down to my room, Katz, you have the con."
"Aye, aye, captain," Katz salutes the captain as his hover chair disappears into the elevator and he returns to the helm.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Down below the BRIDGE, the captain activates his personal supercomputer. A giant four foot by eight-foot holographic screen that appears out from a desk-like console similar to the control panels on the bridge.
"Computer, analyze."
The captain places the dirt specks into a circular sample container levitating in light as the computer's Artificial Intelligence scrutinizes it. A nanosecond passes by as the screen brings up teraflops of scientific information and graphic illustrations of the dirt.
"ANALYSIS: FOREIGN CONTAMINANT. SUBSTANCE IS A THREE-PHASE SYSTEM OF MINERAL BODIES COMPOSED OF VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF NATURALLY DERIVED SOLIDS..."
…Even in simple version explanation relay, the computer goes on and on and on. The captain has already zoned out, tired and wanting to stop for the day already. Besides, the WARD will bring up information about that 'Jeanette' and this dirt stuff, hopefully it shouldn't be too boring…
"…SUBSTANCE IS MORE COMMONLY REFERED TO AS: SOIL, DIRT, DUST, OR EARTH."
The captain's train of thought came to a complete stand still at that word.
"Earth?"
These specks of dirt came from Jeanette, but that meant he must've been from Earth?
He doesn't mind the uncleanness of dirt aboard his ship, or about how in the universe Jeanette is on board but rather that if he really is from Earth. It should be impossible for him to be alive but it seemed to be the only logical answer.
He eyes the globe at the corner of his room.
Yes, it has been uninhabitable for centuries and still is, based off the last sketchy report. But Eve did have a point: over long periods of time, a planet or at least a part of it can change.
He never seen what Earth looked like or what true value behind its biological life they keep trying to find, being taught about it in grade school, about humanity's heritage from this planet and the known facts of the trash crisis that lead them to where they are today. He wanted to know more about what the secret behind its importance to being life bearing. Sure they have their ships, cramped as they are, but as for a whole planet, what's so special about it?
Perhaps he could look more into it, he mind find something to quell his questioning mind.
"Computer, new search, define: Earth."
The screen goes blank momentarily. New images of land begun to appear, from various farm lands, to fertile mineral soil, food crops, fresh greenery, beautiful plants, misty rainforests, snow-capped mountains, lush wildlife, warm desert sands, landmasses, geologic elements & resources, the biosphere, and dozens upon dozens of other images fill the screen in just seconds. The captain drinks in everything, his curiosity and interest with humanity's home world inflaming.
"'EARTH' – THE THIRD PLANET IN THE SOL SYSTEM, THE ONLY KNOWN PLANET IN THE UNIVERSE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING COMPLEX LIFE. THE TERM IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO THE SOLID SURFACE OF THE WORLD, AS DISTINCT FROM THE SKY OR SEA."
A single image appears before the myriad and colorful display of earth-related topics; this image showed the clear blue oceans, white clouds, and green continents of the planet Earth in all its beauty and glory from orbit, this is what it was meant to be like.
"Wow," the captain is fascinated by the majesty of the blue/green oblate orb floating peacefully in space.
So this is where they came from. Compared to the images of seeing countless outdoor views to the void blackness of space, this is too new and inviting to ignore.
He spots one image that caught his attention. A view from a white sandy beach, overlooking something called the 'sea.'
"Computer, define: Sea," he clicks on the image, more information floods his screen about water, but he is more than content to read it all.
"'SEA' – A LARGE BODY OF WATER, ALSO A SYNONYM FOR THE TERM 'OCEAN', AN EXPANSE OF SALTWATER THAT COVERS SEVNETY ONE PERCENT OF THE PLANET'S SURFACE, AND SURROUNDS ITS LANDMASSES…"
The captain stayed glued to his screen unlike others aboard the Axiom, he did something productive and educational.
Guess who's appearing next?
