Hey everyone! I am 15 and I'm studying english at a small school in the UK and i cant think of anything more exhilarating that writing! I really want to be an author! Here is one of my attempts of a novella that I am writing at the moment. Some concepts in this story are based on true fact and have interested me recently! I hope you enjoy and please post a reply...

Intergalactic trespass

Prologue: Millennia from our control

She was a beautiful woman, crafted in such a sleek and delicate way that she was a masterpiece to the human race. Well…this was the view of many males watching her. Her thick locks of black hair swayed alongside her hips as her body glided through the air past the eyes of lustful men.
It was a dingy and derelict old bar, designed only to tempt the sleaze that wandered off the metropolis unable to afford any real booze, but able to cheat and con their way to the bottom of an old bottle of red wine or a shot of **** whisky.
Dr. Naomi Nova hated the place, every day after a hard day at the laboratories of the senate, she would have to waltz in here and climb into the electro-pod that rocketed her to her room some three hundred feet below sea level.
As always the bar was dimly lit and the robotic barman behind the counter was serving a homeless man a shot of gin that he had apparently earned by begging earlier that afternoon.
After a few husky and slurred wolf whistles, Naomi found her way to the electro-pod that hummed with a luminous aqua light. The light at the back flickered a little and as she climbed in it died for a minute and the power in the entire shuttle cut off.
"George! For god's sake! You really need to get a new pod, how's a girl meant to get to her room!"
There was a roar of laughter from the group of tramps to her left and she heard some very sleazy innuendos about how ?'they' could get her to her room.
"**** off!" Naomi shouted.
George, the robotic barman, rolled towards her and his aluminium frame glowed as he spoke. His voice was calm and soothing but Naomi could detect his hostility.
" Naomi, how do you expect me to get a new pod? With the money you pay for rent each night?" The robot leaned towards the sweating meatloaf of a man next to her and said: "but, then again, money is hardly an issue is it?"
With that, the group roared with laughter and she put her head in her hands and a small cluster of tears rolled out of her crystalline eyes. She would not let this get her down. No she could not let this get her down. **** them all.
" Just…just jump start it will ya?"
The robot rolled towards the pod and with his metal hand smacked the case and a trickle of electrons flowed from George's fingers to the metal case and slowly the light at the back ignited again and the hum of the computer chips inside resumed.
"Thank you."
Naomi hit the launch button and the pod closed as she hurtled towards her room below her. The electro-pod scrambled along the line with a wave of electric current crashing over it as she watched the screen on the side of the pod. The screen then flashed and a small childish figure appeared and its comforting voice sounded over the speakers.
" Twenty seconds until arrival. Destination, level thirty-two. Apartment 76. Please enter your seventeen-digit access code. Failure to enter this code correctly will result in this electro-pod 737 being transported back to the main level. If necessary, the pod is armed with high voltage electric current. Any attempt to force entry to a suite, will result in immediate self-destruction of this pod or immediate contact with the local vigilante group. Please enter your seventeen-digit access code, now."
Naomi reluctantly entered her code and the door popped open and she felt the vortex of the Internet open. The child that spoke over the speakers of the pod then confirmed her access code.
" Welcome Naomi Nova to your apartment, the gateway to your front door has been opened. This link is private and is currently secured by the X7X virus nervous system. Safety: 99.8765%. We hope you enjoyed travelling with this electro-pod 737 and look forward to assisting you again. Please exit the pod now and proceed to be uploaded to the Internet." The child quivered.
Naomi heard this every night of her life, while living here. Although the bar was a despicable lair of filth, its security was high. She needed an apartment with high security, especially as she worked for secret intelligence at the Senate. One thing she hated though was having to live digitally enhanced in the Internet.
Then again, in this day and age nobody lived 24/7 in their bodies unless you couldn't afford the thirty star-cents a year to do so.
She lifted her bottom out of the electro-pod and hit the ?'transmit signal' button on the side and she felt her body dissolve away and her mind sunk past her eyes and into the blank screen ahead of her. Within a few seconds, the pod hurtled back up to the bar and the mind of Naomi Nova electrically pulsed its way through the system.
The signals tangled in the web for a moment and then darted to a receptor, embedded in the Virtual Reality Cosmos Centre or the VRCC for short. The signals flashed again and again for a few seconds and suddenly she felt herself coming back and her eyes re-emerged from the feed. She watched as the rest of her body loaded into another electro-pod but this time the pod was much more glamorous. It was hers.
She stared through the pristine glass into her apartment and she clicked the door open and strolled into her living room and collapsed onto the sofa that seemed to be made out of some kind of liquid. As she sat down, it rippled and a slight haze radiated throughout.
The whole apartment was made by several thousand groups of signals, nothing was authentic, and nothing was real. Everything was artificial and everything, including her own body, was just a group of signals planted in the Internet to allow her to survive. But it was hers.
Naomi, now safe in her own space felt relieved. Her eyes were an electric grey that were constantly filled with a slight paranoia and apprehension. She was edgy. Perhaps a little too edgy. But if it wasn't far this edginess, she wouldn't have discovered all of the things that got her to the Senate. For example, she had discovered how to rewire the pods so that they could actually keep in contact with various colonies on Mars and Europa.
By doing this Naomi and managed to claim a spot on the communication administration team at the Senate and after that she discovered various flaws in Earthling space travel and so transferred there. After curing the problems, she was then transferred to secret intelligence of the galaxy and is now part of the defence team.
The year is 7891 and since the late 28th century, mankind has travelled further into the solar system and Earth has become the nerve system of trade with neighbouring planets that are controlled by separate governments that consider themselves different to Earthlings and so Earth has been under attack many times also, but now all of that was to change because of some strange and underlying flaw in the Earth's sun as the final chronicles of humankind draw to a most cataclysmic close and little did she know, that she would soon discover the most extraordinary and terrifying event of universal history.
She got up off of her liquefied sofa and dragged herself to her fridge that stood aimlessly in the corner of her kitchen. She hauled the door open to reveal an almost empty bottle of wine and after drinking the last few droplets that were there, she went in search of something else but her insecurities collapsed inside of her, weighed her down into her pillow and there drowning in tears, she slept as the universe went awry.

I love scifi and it seems there's never enough of it out there. The writers who are there all seem to be aging rapidly. I like this beginning and hope you become a great new scifi writer to entertain us fans.

Here's the next part of it! I hope you enjoy:

Chapter one
Normality fades


Nova woke late the next morning, or a more accurate description would be early the next afternoon as the sun was high in the sky and was a few degrees past noon. Her eyes were dull and not as electric as they had been last night as she exited the pod. She hauled herself out of bed that pulsed with the exact warmth that was comfortable and dragged herself to the intercom.
"Aww, George! Why didn't you send me a wake up call! For God's sake George! You think you'd want me to get fired! Then I couldn't pay you any rent at all…"
Her voice amplified echoed throughout the message service and then there was silence.
"George…" She said, nervously.
This just wasn't like the sleaze-ball of a robot. He always answered her. He always woke her. She stared down at her watch and it read 12:09p.m in glowing neon symbols. He should still be upstairs in the bar, getting ready to serve the trash that walked in through the doors to waste away.
Her eyes fluttered a bit and then they glazed over, she felt her stomach turn as she slammed hard down on the intercom button once again.
"George! Stop fooling around! I mean it!" She shouted.
No answer.
Getting worried now, she darted to her bedroom and opened her cupboard that sparked as she did. Inside were four or five screens, displaying each of them, the prime for of Naomi Nova wearing different outfits. There was a stylish red ensemble in the centre and she touched the screen and the suit wrapped itself around her in a split second.
She ran to the electro-pod and her heels tapped violently at the floor as she went. She ordered the door to open and she flew inside, her crimson, silk scarf trailing after her.
She pummelled the launch button and the pod rocketed upward for a moment and then stopped as the co-ordinator signed on.
" Seventeen seconds until arrival. Destination level one, the bar. Please state your Identification."
"Naomi Nova, level thirty-two, Apartment 76."
" Identification accepted. Please remain seated while the gateway to the bar is created."
Sure enough, through the glass door of the pod, a wormhole erupted and Naomi was about to exit the pod when she was forced back down into her seat.
" Warning! Warning! Power failure! Chances of safety from computer virus through gateway to level one-the bar 28.0122%."
Naomi's heart jumped as the light at the back of the pod died and she was left shrouded in darkness. There was indeed an emergency back-up generator if a power-cut occurred.
" Emergency back-up generator, online." The childish co-ordinator sounded.
" Requesting access to level one-the bar." Naomi shuddered.
"Access denied." The co-ordinator said, in its smooth voice.
Naomi could do no more. This had never happened to her before. She had no idea why the pod wouldn't allow her access to the bar. The light at the back of the pod flickered and then it died again. Though this time, the gateway collapsed too and the darkness was thick and heavy.
"Requesting access to emergency evacuation pod." Naomi shrieked, feeling a lump rise in her throat.
" Access denied to emergency evacuation pod."
" What the hell? That's always online! It isn't run by electricity, it's run by direct heat and light from the sun!"
A cold chill flowed through the pod. She sat cramped pondering on the though.
"Power deficiency. All pods in the building are disabled"
"Requesting emergency communication with the local vigilante group."
"Access allowed. Confirm your Identification."
"Naomi Nova, Level thirty-two, Apartment 76."
The glass door suddenly flickered with light and it turned into a screen where a large man with a distressed looks on his face.
"What seems to be the emergency?" He said, in a low and husky voice.
" I'm trapped in my pod. My name is Naomi Nova and I'm at 7345 Otter street, in the old derelict bar/apartments and I'm trapped. I work for Secret Intelligence at the Senate. I-"
" BILL! BILL! There's another one…" The man turned away and was shouting to his colleague. " Yeah, I'm sorry honey. You are about the fiftieth or sixtieth call we've had in the last few minutes. There's been some kind of malfunction with the Pod systems all over the county."
" But wait! That isn't possible; the pods are controlled by the Sun's energy, that's what makes them able to travel to the colonies on Mars and Europa. If there is a problem, it's with the Sun!"
"Look lady, I don't know. This is gonna be a bit of a ride for you."
He cut off and the pod rocketed downward spontaneously and within a few seconds the pod dissolved into what could only be described a liquid light. She felt it ooze around her body and then she seemed to drown in it. It invaded her lungs and she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she was staring at the halls of the Senate, she opened the door and found herself immersed in crisis.
