I am really lost By Raven Fox. : A routine trip in space sends two astronauts to another  \ngalaxy. They have to adapt, because the place they're at, are at medieval times. The planet they  \ncrash on is populated by anthropomorphic beings.  \n  \nYear 2015  \n  \nAt a John F. Kennedy space center. Jack is looking at the space plane perched on the  \nmodified Boeing 777 aircraft. Next to him is his copilot George, he's 25 year's old blonde hair,  \nblue eyes. He stands 5 ft 11in with a muscular build, the perfect poster boy for NASA. Jack is  \n38 brown hair that's graying. He stands at 5 ft five in with a skinny build, and he looks like an  \nold school biker. When out in the town, Jacks wears faded blue jeans and black T-shirt with a  \nleather jacket. George dresses like a jock, to show off his body. Jack knows that this is his last  \nmission. He's retiring from the military in two years. He's gotten orders to a desk job at the  \nPentagon. Jacks laid back look at life only gotten up only to the rank of Colonel. The higher ups  \nin the Air Force didn't want a biker look a like being a General.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; George just kept staring at the craft that looks like the old space shuttle that was retired  \nfive years ago. The difference between the two craft is that it takes two weeks to get the smaller  \ncraft ready for the next mission instead of months. NASA right now has three of the craft, with  \nfour more on order. They also have three 777 aircraft, with a fourth one in the process of getting  \nmodified. To save time and money NASA bought the aircraft from an airline that was in the  \nprocess of shutting down.  \n  \nJack shook his head while George is admiring the space craft. The craft, Jack knew is  \nnothing like the old shuttle. This bird is a lot better, it might be smaller than the shuttle, the  \nlaunch is a lot more fun. Jack can't help but look at the delta winged craft with two main engines  \nand four smaller OMS engines. The craft can haul cargo, the amount of a one-ton truck or eight  \npersonnel. This mission is a moon shot, so the craft has extra fuel and support equipment for the  \nfifteen-day mission. The mission is like the old Apollo 8 mission back in 1968. \"Well at least I  \nam going to the moon on my last mission, suck that I am not going to walk on it. Oh well, at  \nleast were going back to the moon. I got my camera stash in the craft with a 6-gig memory  \nstick.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; George looked over to Jack. \"So, what do you think of this mission?\"  \n  \nJack grinned. \"Looking forward to it. I always wanted to do a lunar mission. It's a dream I  \nalways had since I was a boy.\"  \n  \nGeorge shook his head. \"We are not walking on it. We're just going to spend eight to nine  \ndays doing laps around it. The lander isn't going to be ready until two more years, by then you'll  \nhave long hair with a beard roaming the highways on a Harley Davidson.\"  \n  \nJack laughed at George's remark. \"I know that I won't be walking on it. But you will  \nsome day. Just keep up the clean image and you'll be walking on the moon in two years. I know  \nthat were just doing orbits around it. The equipment we have now is a lot more better than they  \nhad back in 1968. We're going to take hundreds of photos for landing sights and an area for a  \nfuture base. This is the only way we can send a manned mission to Mars in the future.\"  \n  \nGeorge chuckled to himself. It is the first time he heard Jack said a serious speech. He  \nknew that Jack flew the old shuttles on the last missions to finish the space station. Discovery is  \nat the Smithsonian at Washington, D.C. Atlantis is on the U. S. Midway carrier museum at San  \nFrancisco Ca. Endeavor which was retired in late 2008 to supply parts to the other orbiters is  \ndecorating the entrance to Edwards' Air Force base. This is George's first mission on the space  \ncraft. George knows Jack already flew this craft a few times while it was being tested.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; The next day the two astronauts are walking to the 777 aircraft. George noticed a large  \ncrowd watching them board the plane. There were at least two hundred bikers in the crowd.  \n\"Must be friends of Jack.\" George thought to himself. He knew that Jack is popular with the  \nbikers. The two astronauts boarded the plane, Jack waved to the bikers, they yelled and gave him  \nthe thumbs up.  \n  \nAfter the 777 aircraft got to twenty thousand feet. George and Jack suited up, they  \nchecked each others suit and climbed the access tube to the space craft through the belly of the  \ncraft. Jack started the pre launch check list. George did his part like in the simulator. After the  \nchecklist is completed, Jack radioed to start the count down. George watched as the altimeter  \nincreased in height and the count down clock approached zero. He looked over to Jack in his  \nspace suit. Jack turned to him. \"Now comes the fun part.\"  \n  \nThe 777 climb to an altitude of forty two-thousand feet. Jack radioed. \"Houston, this is  \nEndeavor. Ready for separation and launch.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; The radio replied. \"Endeavor, this is Houston, You're go for separation and launch.\" Jack  \nwatched as the clock counted down to zero. He felt the craft dived, heard the release mechanism  \nrelease the space craft. Jack pulled on the control stick and slightly to the left. Jack watched as  \nthe count down clock hit zero, then he felt his body get pressed against his seat.  \n  \n\"Yee haw!\" Jack yelled as the craft shot up into the sky. George looked out his window,  \nhe watched as the sky turned from a blue to the blackness of space. \"Endeavor, this is Houston  \nstand by for MECO.\" George heard the engines shut off.  \n  \nDuring the time in orbit for a few hours, the astronauts made the preparations for burn that  \nwill free them from the earths gravity. Jack made some inputs to the on board computer. One  \nhour later George felt the engine fire for 30 seconds and cut off. \"Endeavor, this is Houston.  \nYou're on your way to the moon. Have a safe trip.\" The two astronauts removed their suits,  \nGeorge watched as Jack put on a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt. He wondered how Jack got  \nthat outfit on the craft. George sighed and shook his head.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; The moon got bigger through the cockpit windows of the space craft. Due to the way the  \ncraft is configured, they can't see the earth. Jack explained to George that once they get to lunar  \norbit they can see the earth. The astronauts did live TV shows, during the shows Jack had on his  \nNASA uniform.  \n  \nThe day came for getting the Endeavor to lunar orbit. Jack once again put inputs to the  \ncrafts on board computer. On the dark side of the moon, the craft turned 180 degrees. The  \nengines fired for 15 seconds. Later on it was confirmed that Endeavor is at an orbit of sixty miles  \nabove the surface of the moon.  \n  \nJack and George looked at the gray surface of the moon. George later on looked at the  \nearth in the distance. Jack took out his contraband camera and snapped a few pictures. The two  \nguys spent the next seven days mapping the surface of the moon. Jack got pictures of the landing  \nsites from the Apollo landings. They sent a data dump to Houston. Unknown to the crew their  \ncraft got a command to fire the main engines too soon.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Jack heard the engines fire up. \"Shit, were going to end up at Mars if I don't shut these  \nengines off.\" Jack examined the read out on the computer. \"George, radio Houston. The craft  \nwas given a command to fire the main engines from the ground.\" Jack watched as George  \nradioed Houston. He looked at the computer, and he started pulling circuit breakers on the  \ncomputer. Jack heard the engines stop firing. \"All right, I'll turn this craft around, then aim it to  \nthe earth. We now have five minutes of fuel left. Just barely enough to get us home.\" He looked  \nover to George, he had a scared look on his face. \"Relax bud, we're going to be OK. Some idiot  \nfired the main engines from the ground. I am going to turn us around and get us home.\"  \n  \nGeorge looked at his commander. \"Were in a crisis and he's calm as can be. Those idiots  \nin the chain of command should make this guy a general, not throw him in the pasture. Just  \nbecause he has a laid back attitude.\" He thought to himself. \"Jack, Houston says we got three  \nminutes to turn this craft around or we won't make it back to earth. They are starting an  \ninvestigation to find out who fired the engines.\" George said to Jack.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Jack looked at George. \" No problem, I am re booting the computer, it will take a minute,  \none more minute to enter the data. That's gives us a minute safety margin. We'll be OK, what  \nthe hell?\" Endeavor lurches and now is in a light blue, dark blue tunnel, moving at impossible  \nspeeds. \" Oh boy, I think were in a worm-hole. Just like in the show Far scape.\" Jack looked out  \nthe windows and watched the light show of the worm-hole. He grinned. \"Well looks like I am  \nnot going to get that desk job. I hope there is a livable place on the other side. I hope the women  \nlook hot.\" Jack laughed to himself, thinking right now, he is going on one hell of a ride through  \nthe galaxy.  \n  \nAt the control room at Houston, Joseph heard one the controllers said. \"We lost them, and  \nwe're not getting any readings.\" He turned to the controller.  \n  \n\"Try raising them.\" Joseph heard the controller try contacting the craft. He heard the  \nsound of somebody punching someone really hard. \"What's going on here?! I don't tolerate  \nfights in my control room!\" Joseph saw a large guy looking down at a known trouble maker.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; The large guy looked up at Joseph. \"He fired the engines. He did it to get rid of Jack,  \nsaying now we no longer has to worry about that rebel.\"  \n  \nJoseph looked at the unconscious guy. He looked at the large controller. \"Have that piece  \nof shit arrested for two counts of murder. This incident is going to set us back two years, at least  \nwe know it was deliberate, not hardware failure.\" Joseph watches as the unconscious guy is  \narrested. \"Secure that terminal for the investigators.\"  \n  \nEndeavor exited the worm-hole. Jack saw an earth like planet. He made a few control  \ninputs to look at the surrounding space. \"Jack, try getting us back through that worm-hole.\" Said  \nGeorge.  \n  \nJack shook his head. He saw that the computer is ready for input. He maneuvered the  \ncraft to have the on board cameras to take a bunch of photos around Endeavor. \"All right bud,  \nbut I am inputting the data now. I had the cameras take a bunch of photos of that large planet, so  \nthis side trip will have a positive outlook.\" Jack entered the data. \"Dam, the computer isn't  \naccepting my inputs. I'll have to re boot it again.\" He shut off the computer, restarted it. Jack  \nwaited for the computer to boot up. He tried to enter the data again. \"SHIT, who ever fired the  \nengines uploaded a virus. The virus won't let me enter the data. I'll have to fly this thing  \nmanually.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; George watched as Jack shut off the computer. He felt the engines fire for two seconds  \nand stops. George heard a long line of profanity come from Jack. \"What happened Jack?\"  \n  \nJack looked at George. \"Were screwed, while we were going through that worm-hole the  \ncomputer dumped our fuel. We can only maneuver and that's it. I am going to aim us to that  \nplanet, use what little fuel we have to land us on it. Secure the cabin. This isn't going to be a  \npretty landing.\" Jack watched as George secure the cabin. He pointed the Endeavor to the large  \nplanet. Jack watched as the planet grew larger in the cockpit windows, he grinned. \"I hope I can  \nlive on this place.\"  \n  \nEndeavor entered the planets' atmosphere. George watched as the cockpit windows grew  \nred hot. A minute later it looked like the craft was flying through a fire storm. Minutes later the  \nfire ceased. George saw blue skies and clouds. Jack instructed him to look for a place to land.  \nJack maneuvered Endeavor around to look for a field. George saw a bunch of houses and a town  \non the ground. He told Jack, Jack nodded. \"Well whoever lives here, knows that we're going to  \nland. I can't keep us up any longer, and this craft has the aerodynamic of a brick. I see a flat  \nfield, and I am putting us down. I can't lower the landing gear. It will cause us to break up on  \nimpact. I am going to put her on her belly, we got a better chance to land in one piece. Tighten  \nup your harness we're going in.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; George watched as the field grew in size, he felt the craft flare. Instead of the gentle thump  \nof the landing gear hitting a run way. George heard the sound of stressed metal tearing. Georges'  \nworld went black as he hit the instrument panel.  \n  \nJack woke up. He unbuckled his harness. Jack looked over to George, he's still out. \"I am  \nnot going to move him until he's awake.\" Jack got out of his seat and opened the rescue hatch.  \nHe inflated the crash slide. Jack heard George moaning, and he checked him. While George was  \nawake, Jack found he's OK. George went unconscious again, but Jack carried him out of the  \nwreck space craft. Jack looked at the remains of Endeavor. The craft made a thousand-foot long  \ngouge in the field, with pieces of the heat shield scattered around the field. Endeavor is in one  \npiece but the craft is bent. \"Well I am stuck here. She'll never fly again, where in the hell am I?\"  \nHe felt a sharp object poke him in the middle of his back.  \n  \nA female voice said. \"You're a little way outside of the village of Du Shane. Put your  \nhands up and start walking forward. Don't worry about your friend, well take care of him.  \nYou're a strange looking whatever you are, start walking.\" Jack started walking, and he manages  \nto look back behind him. He saw a 6-ft eight in tall anthropomorphic female tiger looking at him,  \nwith blue eyes. She has the white, orange and black stripe pattern on her. Jack noticed she has  \nred head hair and a muscular body wearing a one piece swim suit. Jack saw that her breast size  \nis a 44 DD. He saw George being carried by a couple of anthro fox vixens. \"If your wondering  \nwho I am, the name's Katie. The vixens are Tammy and Sue. What's your name alien?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Jack quietly snickered to himself. \"My name is Jack. The guy who is unconscious is  \nGeorge. I am from another world, we had problems with our space craft and accidently crashed  \nhere. I am sorry I tore up that field. I was left with no choice. Our craft is design to fly in space  \nand land on a very hard surface, and it doesn't glide well.\"  \n  \nKatie looked at Jack. \"Apologies accepted, from the looks of your craft. I think you're  \nstuck here. We don't have the ability fly. You're going to be spending the rest of your life here,  \nso get use to it. You can put your hands down Jack, just don't make a run for it or I'll have to  \nuse this.\" She gestures to the cross bow she's holding.  \n  \nJack walked forward toward the village. He looked at the buildings over while going down  \nthe main road. The buildings looked like medieval Europe. They're constructed with stone, with  \nthatched roofs. Jack saw that the population of this village comprising anthropomorphic beings  \nlike Katie. He heard a reptilian hiss, as a cart is being pulled by two large lizards. Jack looked at  \nthem as they passed. They looked cross between an alligator and lizard, they stood at four feet  \ntall at the shoulder and ten feet long form mouth to tip of tall. \"Can you ride one of those like a  \nhorse?\" Asked Jack looking as the cart rode off.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Katie laughed. \"Of course you can ride a Bantha. They're very quick. You must have a  \ngood grip or you'll fall off. What's a horse?\"  \n  \nJack answered. \"A large mammal on my planet. We use them for the same things as you  \nguys use those Bantha's.\"  \n  \nKatie looked at Jack. \"If you people can build something like that craft, why do you still  \nuse mammals for stuff?\"  \n  \nJack shook his head. \"There are groups of people on my home planet that don't like  \nmachinery. They think technology is evil, they also say Horses are more reliable than  \nmachinery.\"  \n  \nKatie laughed and guided Jack to a large stone structure. Jack noticed it looked like a jail  \nhouse from the old west. Katie noticed his concerned look and said. \"It's for your own good.  \nYou can leave this place, but If I where you don't try losing your escort. Jack, I don't want any  \ntrouble from you, you'll be staying here til the council decides were to put you at, and your  \nfuture job. Everybody has a job here. You and George will be assigned a job here. Any  \nquestions?\"  \n  \nJack looked around then looked at Katie. \"Not at the moment. Do me one favor, have  \nsomeone keep an eye on the craft. If any stuff starts coming out of it don't touch it, it feels like if  \nyou stuck your hand in a fire. Just get me and I'll stop it, later on I like to return to the craft and  \nmake it safe.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Katie smiled. \"All right, I'll make the arrangements. There is a type of liquid that feels like  \nfire?\"  \n  \nJack looked Katie in the eye. \"Yes there is, it's a type of fuel that's used for turning the  \ncraft in space. I don't know how much is left in the tanks, but it doesn't harm the air. I am going  \nto empty the tanks so it will be destroyed by the air. Then the craft will be safe for whatever you  \nguys decide to do with it.\"  \n  \nKatie lead Jack inside the building. Jack and George are put in a cell. The door is left  \nopen. One of the vixens Tammy watched them. Later on George woke up, and he looked around.  \n\"Jack what's going on here?\"  \n  \nJack looked at his copilot. \"This planet is inhabited by anthropomorphic beings.\" Jack  \npoints at Tammy. George had a momentary frighten look on his face. \"Relax man, they don't  \nknow what to make of us. Were as strange looking to them, as they are to us. The craft is a total  \nloss. Even if it didn't wreck, we couldn't have relaunched it any way. The level of technology on  \nthis planet, I put it at 1100 A. D. Europe.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; George stuck his head between his knees. \"So what your saying is, were stuck here for the  \nrest of our lives.\"  \n  \nJack looked at George. \"Yes, we are stuck here. Even if we managed to contact earth,  \nthere is nothing they can do for us. This place is eight centuries from launching rockets, by then  \nwe'll be turned into dust. So if I were you, pull yourself together and adjust to the current  \nsituation your in.\"  \n  \n  \nGeorge sat up, he looked at Jack. He remembered Jack's reputation as a rebel at NASA.  \nOne minute Jack will be bending some rules. The next minute he'll be talking like a dedicated  \nleader, giving advice to younger officers. \"Jack, I don't care what the chain of command thought  \nof you, you should have been a General. You'll would of made a better one than some of the  \nidiots in the chain of command. I wonder what these anthro's are going to do to us?\" George  \nthought to himself looking at his surroundings.  \n  \nThe vixen Tammy listened to the conversation between the two aliens. She looked at the  \none with brown hair called Jack, from the actions of the other one. Tammy figured out Jack is a  \nleader. She looked at the other one with blonde hair, she noticed that he is young. Tammy  \ndirected her gaze to Jack. \"Well Jack, I think I like you better. I always had this thing with males  \nwho are leaders. I got some pull in the council, I think I'll have you live with me.\" Tammy  \nthought to herself.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Two days passed. Jack was escorted to the craft to make it safe. Some liquid did start to  \ncome out. Nobody was hurt, it only took five minutes to empty the tanks. Jack did manage to  \nsend a data burst from the craft before the villagers started to dismantle it. Jack walked in the cell  \nand looked at George. \"I managed to send a data burst. I don't know how long it will take to go  \nto earth.\" George smiled and shook his head.  \n  \nKatie walked in, she looked at the two humans. \"Well here is what is going to happen to  \nyou two. George you'll be living with me at the farm I operate. Jack you'll be living with Tammy  \nbreaking Bantha's.\"  \n  \nJack smiled at himself. \"Now that will be fun. I use to break wild horses before I went in  \nthe Air Force.\" He thought to himself.  \n  \nGeorge looked at the tall female tiger. \"Oh boy, Well like Jack said, I better adjust.\" He  \nthought to himself as he is lead away by Katie.  \n  \nJack sat alone in the opened cell. He heard some foot steps. Jack watch as Tammy walked  \nin. He looked at the vixen that stood two inches shorter than he. She has long black head hair  \nstopping at her shoulders. Green eyes, lean compact body. A breast size of 35 C cup. Tammy  \nright now is wearing a white shirt with a blue colored vest, with a green skirt stopping at mid-  \ncalf. \"Come Jack, let's go home. Tomorrow we'll start work.\" Jack followed the vixen to his  \nnew life.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Two years later  \n  \nJack is riding a Bantha down a trail to town. Right now Jack has long hair with a beard to  \nmatch. Tammy likes the current look on him. She says he looks a lot better than when she first  \nsaw him. \"Well it isn't a Harley Davidson, but this guy will do.\" As he rides down the trail to  \ntown to visit George.  \n  \n  \nAt Houston control room.  \n  \nA controller is getting the equipment ready for the next day's launch of the craft  \nArmstrong. Since the incident two years ago controllers can't remote control the craft unless the  \ncontrol supervisor turns a key on a console. The back ground checks are more strict now. The  \ncontroller hears something. \"This is the craft Endeavor. We're alive on another planet. The craft  \nis wrecked beyond repair. The planet were on, is inhabited by anthropomorphic beings. We're  \nbeing treated fairly. We went through a worm-hole that's located pass the moon. The  \ncivilization that's living on this planet doesn't have the ability to repair the craft and relaunch  \nit. The technology level of this place is pre industrial. This is colonel Jack signing off.\" The  \nmessage repeated itself, and the controller recorded it. He then got a supervisor to listen to the  \nrecording. Then the computers received a data down load which included pictures of an earth  \nlike planet.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; At a biker bar located on the highways of Texas. Some groups of them are giving a toast  \nmarking the two-year anniversary of the disappearance of a brother of theirs. \"To Jack, who is  \nright now riding the highways in the afterlife.\" They look at a picture of Jack hanging on the  \nwall. Jack gave the bar the picture a few years ago as a gift. The picture has Jack in a pressure  \nsuit holding the helmet with the American flag behind him. The group of bikers went back to  \nswap stories and planning rides on the highways.  \n  \nSorry for the lack of a sex scene. I thought I try something different. Raven Fox.  \n  \n\n"}
