Captain on the bridge! – Officer Xi screamed.

Yamamoto shook his head slowly. He was very sure he had communicated to all officers not to announce his arrival to the bridge.

Look here. We are space pirates, not UFA soldiers. – Whispered Captain Yamamoto to Xi.

Yes Captain! – replied Officer Xi as he put his hand to his head and stumped his feet.

Captain Yamamoto walked towards his seat in a look of pure disgust and took out his worn out logbook from under the chair. It was indeed an old dusty logbook that did not seem to belong to the early 25th century. Nobody used paper books by the turn of the 23rd century as price of papers had escalated to the Andromeda Galaxy and beyond.

Everyone was on the Grid.

Nobody knew what the Grid was nor who or what controlled it but everyone had the controller implemented in the DNA. It was a biological controller in a part of a brain, just like a thumb and four fingers. Nobody asked for them yet there they were. Genetically designed from the hardcoded instruction inside the human DNA.

Captain Yamamoto adjusted his hat as he flipped the pages to the last entry in the logbook. It was a special hat. The kind of hat that looked as if it belonged to the landfill , rather than on the head of the Space pirate captain but it had a secret. It could block the Grid signals from the wearer, literally making whoever wear it an invisible man in plain sight.

Captain Yamamoto kept adjusting the hat as the rest of the crew waited for the instruction. The had been sailing , or drifting , along the outer edges of the Milky way for several days and supplies were running out. There weren’t any known treasures nor large settlements at the outer edge. If any , it would be one of the CroyoCells for condemned prisoners to be frozen for eternity.

Still , the bridge was in complete silence since Officer Xi announced the arrival of the Captain Yamamoto.

Ahem – a voice pierced the silence.

May we know where we are heading to, Captain ? – continued the voice. It was from a watch that Captain Yamamoto was wearing.

Ududu – replied Captain Yamamoto without delay.

Ududu ? – the rest of the crew murmured to one another in shock.

Officer Xi just graduated from the Prestigeous Space Pirate Academy so he didn’t know what was it about Ududu that shocked the rest unto near unrest.

What is it about Ududu ? – asked Officer Xi to Officer Knixop , a native of Planet Kokopoop , where they worship the great poop being. Nobody wanted to be their friends because of the design of their bodies , they speak through their butt.

It is the most dangerous planet in the Galaxy , perhaps the whole of universe. – replied Officer Knixop with his head on the floor and his butt in the air facing Officer Xi.

The stench almost caused the Officer Xi to faint. He wonder what made the planet Ududu the most dangerous planet in the Galaxy, if not the Universe but he stopped himself before he could mutter s word.
