I head to the main forum on The Aeternus Universe official website and the discoveries tab on the forum pages. I begin to slowly scroll and see the many new things players are finding. The planets that are being discovered are mostly gas giants and uninhabitable worlds.
There are screenshots and coordinates to go with the posts too. They're beautiful planets regardless of habitable or not. A planet needs to fulfill very specific conditions to support life. It's so rare that terraforming planets are the best solution sometimes.
If a planet has a chance to support life but is lacking the right atmospheric conditions. Large independent companies come in and use their terraforming machines to fulfill those conditions. Mars and Venus in the Milky Way galaxy are great examples of these complex and expensive machines. Venus is also a unique situation.
While many scientists during my time right now would say it's impossible, in The Aeternus Universe, it's more than possible and has already been done. I continue scrolling, and I see a wonderfully deep blue planet.
Just by a glance, it looks like a water world. I click on the post to read further, and it is. It's a completely water-oriented world. The water itself is highly toxic from planetary scans. It also goes down to its core, and there are no tectonic plates and crust.
The mantel of the planet is actually pressurized ice that's so dense it's harder than diamond. "That's a beautiful planet..." I'm so deep in my thoughts and reading that I failed to notice Jess looking over my shoulder. "You think there are more like this world out there..." The odds say that the likely hood is low.
The chances of an exact duplicate of a planet appearing in another part of the universe is nearly impossible—less than 0.0001 percent of happening. No need to go any lower when explaining. That should be low enough to understand how rare it'd be.
Even if there was, the odds of finding it and its duplicate are even lower. "Probably not. Every planet is unique in its own way. That's what causes the intelligent life in The Aeternus Universe to look so different." A planet that supports life will shape its inhabitants with the environment it creates.
She moves in front of me and sits in my lap. She wraps one arm around my neck and leans towards the mouse, and scrolls down the page, looking at the rest. Every planet she passes, I see them and memorize them.
What it looks like and the coordinates that are attached to it. If I ever do want to visit them, I can. All the ones so far have been in the Impyra galaxy. There have been some in other known galaxies, and there are others that are in new galaxies being explored for the first time. Players get naming rights to whatever they discover.
Be it a galaxy or a planet, even small astronomical bodies like asteroid belts and comet clouds. Players are even allowed to name stars and blackholes if they discover them. "Do you think that I can go out exploring like them..." Jess stops scroll and stops on a planet that's covered in huge storms swirling around in high volume.
She leans into my neck and chest and releases a sigh. She can do whatever she wants now. She doesn't have to worry about bills, deadlines, schedules. She's free from the things that shackle most humans.
I lean forward and shut the computer off. I pick her up, and I carry her in my arms. She relaxes as I carry her weight. She's light and easy to carry. I take us to the living room, and I sit down with her in my arms still. I don't care that I'm still in my towel.
It's not like it's anything she hasn't seen. I voice for the TV to turn on, and it does. "You are free, Jess. Do whatever you feel like doing. The life you had before is going to seem so small compared to the one you have now." She stays silent at my words, and after a bit, snuggles a little closer.
She's honoring our agreement, and we aren't doing anything sexual, just being cuddly with each other. The current program is a documentary on the lives of the people who try and live after prison. It's more interesting than I thought it'd be, even though humanity has come to many advancements and achievements. There is still a crime problem.
