Everything seemed to be progressing well during the colonization phase on Pluto. We had an abundance of water and oxygen. Food even seemed to be being cloned with an abundance of efficiency. I was the commander of all operations on the dwarf planet. I was assisted by Commander George and Commander Lucy. All 30,000 of us commanders and colonists were brought over from Earth on the mother ship in 2447. The flight took nearly 10 years, so we actually reached Pluto’s gravitational pull 13 years ago. Commander George, the leader of food, water, and oxygen reported a problem in the food cloning devices a few days ago. Ever since the incident, Commander Lucy and several NASA officials have helped us investigate solutions to the problem. We were afraid that one day, the system would completely shut down and the mission would require an abort mission. Today, that is exactly what happened. The food cloning facility shut down completely which forced us …show more content…

Once everyone was on board the ship, I fired up the uranium engines.

Luckily, We had an abundance of other necessities including water and oxygen, so we only needed to focus on food, which we could ration to create time to make more food.
I quickly ordered the team of engineers to get to work. They worked proficiently, which allowed them to develop a makeshift system that would create food out of hydrogen and helium, which is abundant in outer space. They discovered this new technology with just about 6 months of food left on the journey and another two years until we returned to
