02/18/14, Earth Time: 06:00 AM, EST, Tuesday – The Story of Terlokya - A New Enemy

Greetings and salutations. Caslaikove here. Last week I told about Split Magnetic Field Travel, and the glitch which was another split developing elsewhere in the magnetic field, called a rif. I mentioned the rif entrance and exit could be far away from the split entrance and exit, the entrances could be far apart with the exits close together, or vice-versa. The problem occurs when the rif entrances and exits are far apart from each other. If you don’t have an eye on the rif, how do you know who might be entering it?

The problems of high speed Split Magnetic Field Travel became very apparent when a small fleet of Terlokyan ships split a magnetic field near the planet Kekter in the Hastin solar system. Kekter was an uninhabited planet but was valuable due to vast quantities of Costine which is used in manufacturing flexible metals. The fleet was going to make a short hop to the planet Cezzeck in the same system. Cezzeck had been colonized by Terlokya, along with the planet Seth in Hastin. These planets were practically uninhabitable due to the solar system orbiting a dying black sun. It was always cold there but the colonies thrived. But on that particular day, there weren’t any unexpected occurrences as the fleet entered the split entrance and then exited near Cezzeck. Upon exiting, they discovered a large armada of foreign, or alien space craft. These other ships had entered the rif entrance, which was far away from the split entrance, but the rif exit was right next to the split exit.  These alien ships exited right before the Terlokyan fleet had exited. The Terlokyans hailed the much larger alien fleet and bid them welcome in the name of peace. The alien ships responded with a laser attack that wiped out most of the Terlokyans. The rest were captured.

02/11/14, Earth Time: 06:00 AM, EST, Tuesday – The Story of Terlokya - Glitch

Greetings and salutations. Caslaikove here. Last week I told about high speed space travel by Split Magnetic Field Travel, but there was a glitch. Whenever a field was split, another split developed elsewhere in the field ... called a rif. It could be close by or at the opposite side of the field. The same thing occurs on the exit … the exits could be close to each other or far apart. To make this even more complicated, no two magnetic fields are alike in size of shape. It might appear that this really shouldn’t be a problem. A ship enters the entrance of the split and exits the split on the ‘projected’ path. However, a ship could enter rif and exit the rif … where ever the entrance and exit might be.

Where the glitch became problematic, was when a ship entered the rif and exited the rif. Let me restate that the rif entrance and exit could be far away from the split entrance and exit. But that also means the entrances could be far apart but the exits could be close together. That doesn’t appear to be a problem. That is, as long as you know who is entering the rif.

02/04/14, Earth Time: 06:00 AM, EST, Tuesday – The Story of Terlokya - Exploration

Greetings and salutations. Caslaikove here. Last week I wrote about how Kesmar pushed developers to discover faster ways to travel in space. Success was achieved. The planet Terlokya resides in the Eck solar system. The planet Qanzazini, also located in the Eck solar system in a further orbit than Terlokya, was targeted for exploration and provided a perfect test for the two forms of space travel; the older but much improved Magnetic Field Realignment or MFR technology and the new higher speed Split Magnetic Field Travel or SMFT. Past attempts to reach Qanzazini using the older version of MFR, yielded a wealth of knowledge by sending exploratory spacecraft to the planet to check for the necessary environment to support life. For years, Terlokya knew Qanzazini could support life, but it took many months to travel there. Now MFR speeds could get Terlokyans to Qanzazini in a little over a month. Scientists were curious as to how fast SMFT speeds could get ships to the planet.

On the initial test of sending an exploratory spacecraft to the planet, four ships were used. Two ships were called the ‘splitters’ that carried special launchers for the plutonium-239 to create the explosions thus splitting the magnetic fields. Only one ship is required, but if upon reaching their destination and the splitter ship was damaged, a backup ship was necessary for the return. The other two ships were the exploratory ships. The initial launching was a success and all four ships slipped through the Split Magnetic Field. However, on the other end of the magnetic field near Qanzazini, only three of the ships arrived. The backup ‘splitter’ ship did not arrive with the other three. But when the backup ship was hailed on radio, they responded saying that they traveled safely through the split but ended up further out in space near the next planet of the solar system, Saysone, a small airless planet. It seems that there was a problem with Split Magnetic Field Travel.

01/28/14, Earth Time: 06:00 AM, EST, Tuesday – The Story of Terlokya - New Dawn

Greetings and salutations. Caslaikove here. Last week I told of Kesmar’s quest to unify the entire planet and how he used his blood heritage to win over the last holdouts, the Mooomuos, instigators of the Great War. He reveled to them that he had their blood in his veins from his Father being a half-breed. That won them over.  So with a united planet, Kesmar, (or Priimus as he was now known by) began his new quest to raise the research and development of technology to levels unseen. First, improvements were needed to bring devastated areas of the planet back to life. Advancements were made in soil reclamation, solar and wind power, and organic farming. A planet wide information system was developed accessible to all Terlokyans. Education and healthcare became rights for everyone. The civilian population were being taken care of and were totally behind the effort.

With the important areas of military technology lagging behind the desired level, the lines between military and civilian research and development in terms of transportation on Terlokya and in space were eliminated to combine resources to advance the cause – which achieved grand results. Military and civilian scientists jointly improved Magnetic Field Alignment travel by leaps and bounds. The most important breakthrough was in high speed space travel. Scientists knew that space is made up of varying sizes of ‘magnetic fields’ or ‘magnetic plates’, sections of space that border each other. They discovered a method of splitting or separating 2 plates and slipping between them until they close back up. This is accomplished by using plutonium-239 explosions to push the 2 plates apart. Then ships travel through the gaps. This is then repeated at the next field. There were many deficiencies but it was the best method at the time.

01/21/14, Earth Time: 06:00 AM, EST, Tuesday – The Story of Terlokya - Priimus

Greetings and salutations. Caslaikove here. Last week I told of Kesmar uniting Terlokya and focusing the planet on technology to improve their post war plight and improve their military … specifically high speed space travel. He was increasingly viewed as the new leader of Terlokya in most of the former nation continents. There was an ‘acceptance’ problem in the eastern section of the former nation of Kamchow. Elements of the former military dictatorship were not in favor of a so called ‘halfbreed’ with a Vultairean mother from Boesona being their leader. Sensing that another conflict could occur, the regional military governor in Kamchow cracked down on the restive Mooomuos causing riots who were inciting the normal population. They felt the Mooomuos from the eastern part of the former nation of Kamchow were being persecuted. But Kesmar had a plan. To defuse the situation, Kesmar scheduled a speech in Foehopnik, the provincial capital of Kamchow, the former capital of the nation. Everyone advised against it, but he was determined. He said, “What I will tell them should defuse the situation forever.”

On the day of the speech, Kesmar invited the opposition leaders in Kamchow to be with him on the stage in the middle of the city square. He began his speech by reiterating a common belief amongst the Mooomuos that if an individual had any Mooomuo blood in them, they were a Mooomuo. Once Kesmar let that settle in, he reminded the crowd that, yes, his mother was a Vultaire and his father was an Annten. But then he dropped his bombshell. He told the crowd that his father’s father was half Mooomuo, making Kesmar 1/8. The crowd went crazy, cheering him as if he was one of their own. The opposition leaders stepped forward and swore their allegiance to him, raising his hand up and shouting, “Priimus Terlokyan!” … meaning ‘First Terlokyan.’ A few days passed and the new Planetary Governing Council, later named the Supreme Council, joined with the military leaders to bestow the rank of Priimus on Kesmar and make him the first Terlokyan Commander of the unified planet. He was the only Terlokyan to ever hold the rank of Priimus, with those following in his footsteps taking the rank of Supreme Commander. There can only be one ‘First’ and Kesmar was it.

01/14/14, Earth Time: 06:00 AM, EST, Tuesday – The Story of Terlokya - Rebuilding

Greetings and salutations. Caslaikove here. Last week I told of the new leader of a united Terlokya, Kesmar. He disbanded the nation continents and convinced all Terlokyans to buy into his vision of a united planet that would forge a new future. But he first faced the daunting task of rebuilding the devastated planet from the Great War. He combined the remaining military elements from all former countries into one force. Anything that didn’t fit was scrapped. Then he empowered the military to begin the rebuilding of the planet’s manufacturing infrastructure and agricultural base. As these areas grew, he added the civilian population in to replace the military effort in these endeavors and refocused them on the new mission of R & D for a space military buildup. Kesmar knew that it was only a matter of time before other species from other areas of space would eventually come calling. Their intentions were the big unknown. The most important goal of the military R & D was to develop high speed space travel.

The Parnewsians of Sygon had developed the basis of crude Magnetic Field Realignment, or MFR travel but had never shared it outside of their country. The other nations were still using conventional fossil fuels which limited speeds. So the technology was shared and the rebuilding began. The former nation continent of Boesona was literally destroyed so it became off limits to everyone, a virtual no-mans land. The few remaining Vultaires became true Terlokyans since their former homeland was destroyed. They were the most dedicated of the rebuilders, desiring for all of Terlokya to be a homeland for everyone. They practically worshiped Kesmar who did not disappoint as a leader. Some of the new Terlokyan ‘citizens’ were not entirely happy.
