I. Deafening Silence Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. And so I used to believe. I used to believe sound wouldn’t carry in space. Our ears are sensitive to the vibrations of air. When someone speaks, their voice vibrates the air in waves to whoever listens. This is communication, as we know it, here on Earth. Without air - or a medium for the sound to travel through - there can be no sound at all. But what is sound to a human? It’s an understanding based on sensation – a feeling. Could a feeling bypass the medium of air, going straight from one person’s lips to the ears without traveling through sound? Can the brain understand the preliminary motions and translate it to the end effect?

Unhearables
CHAPTER I: Entry Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I clenched my teeth at they and I muted my comms and purged myself of voice. The scream was not silenced by the space that surrounded me. The scream charged out of my diaphragm and reentered via my drums. Like cycling urine in a Fosmos. I could hear my scream!

The Weak
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The soul of a poor beast revolting in the endless fountain of colors, vivid as summer days that never happen, and extremely large as the vast ocean. The infinite becomes closer and closer as his consciousness became a cry of despair.

The Underappreciated Art of Space Espionage
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But just to be safe, I checked for a pulse one more time . . . and, satisfied that he truly was dead, sealed off the trash chute, pressed a single button, and sent him on a never ending journey to the unknown.

Space Jumper
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But they also say you can’t breathe in space, yet here she is breathing just fine. So if she screamed right now, while being chased through galaxies, would anybody hear her? More importantly, who would hear her? She did know one person who she met quite frequently when exploring different galaxies, but that was always by chance. Who knows where he is now. He could be asleep on his home planet earth for all she knew. It's not like they had space phones to call each other, though that would be cool and she should definitely look into that. But even if he showed up, what could he do? She would be in the same position, just another person to look after, she didn't need that right now. She only needed herself, she was better on her own anyways.

One of the Chosen Few
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. However, that's not entirely true. There are those who do hear the screams of those who are lost in the vast emptiness that is space. Beings who take pity on these lost souls and give them a second chance of life. A chance to be something more than ordinary. A chance to have astronomical power. A chance to be...chosen.

The Whispers of Time
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But we can hear the whispers over time. Can it be that the whispers we hear guiding and speaking to us over time are the remnants of the screams of past generations from moving through space? The human experience is audible in the loudest of ways. There are so many layers to existence and energy. Yet we seem to neither hear nor remember the equal and opposite physics that drive existence on a grand scale. We consider this life on Earth to be a third dimensional projection of reality because of the impact we feel. Our bodies come with everything physical; smells, sensation, sound, visuals, and tastes yet what you experience as reality is not another’s reality. Leaving truth to the fact that reality is ultimately to be your choice of perception. That perception will have you questioning if the screams you hear in your dreams are the reality of space or if the whispers you hear in your head are lessons and warnings of time.

Zero
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It’s one if the greatest fears of being a GSP. My name is Zebulon Romulan, and I became a Galactic Space Pilot far younger than most. But that’s a whole different story. Yes I know my name is a mouthful. Probably why my fellow pilots call me Zero. It stuck so now it’s my call sign. As a GSP your missions vary and thus your spacecraft can be altered on the fly as parameters and intel evolve. So naturally it’s important to be skilled on anything with wings. Nothing is more nerve racking for a GSP than being in the Naval Elite’s newest and baddest fighter yet. An 88th generation combat fighter with a legacy of performance in any environment but especially space. It’s military designation is very long and technical but to new GSPs, they call it the A.C.E.88. The 88 is obvious but A.C.E. stands for Any Combat Environment. Veteran GSPs simply call it ACE.
