Nebula's Home: Stella Dune
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I am here to say that is a flat out lie. When I was a little girl, my mother, Aurora, always sang me the same lullaby. Night after night.

Construct
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. They also say, however, that nature abhors a vacuum. It might be a bit of a jump then to say that the reason Jordan heard Azrael screaming is that Azrael hated outer space.

The unknown
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Sound is a mechanical wave that needs substance such as air or water to travel through. In space there is no air, there for sound has nothing to travel through. That is, until the new planet appeared a couple of years ago. A fetch rover was sent to collect samples, and returned with proof of life. Plants, bugs, animals, even bodies of water. There was no sign of humans, but that didn't stop the rumors. A science fiction writing contest took place a month ago to see who would go explore the new planet for three months. Eight contestants won, including me! Tonight we're all meeting at a bar in Houston Texas called Bottoms Up. Than I'll be staying at the Moon Light hotel for the rest of the weekend. Monday at 8am is when all the contestant winners will meet at the Houston Texas space center, and be sent off to explore the new planet.

The Gateway Experience. Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
Wave 1: Discovery Orientation Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Pressing the play button on the first audio tape, I’m ready to test this theory. The sound of binaural beats swarm through my headphones.

Transplanted
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I imagine the same could be said about this place. A desert of reddish-orange rolls on for what seems like an eternity. Flattened earth with swirling dust clouds, this is my daily view. Today is day six in this joke of a reality, and before that, details are hazy.

The Lunar Station Executions. Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Was it merely grim imagination, then? Before the klaxons rang out, before the somber announcement, the crew aboard the Butterfly, hovering near the moon, heard something like a terrified shrieking. It drove them to the starboard window, where they massed around the glass and stared open-mouthed at the Lunar Station explosion. They watched parts of their coworkers, their friends, their family drifting through the abyss. Disembodied limbs and houseware floated slowly by, already crystallizing in the cold. Silverware, piping, and boots, mingled with arms and legs, thumping into the ship, a cavalcade of dull thuds. What faces the crew saw were tortuously contorted and rapidly collecting ice, making them nearly impossible to identify. That didn’t prevent the howls of grief, the crew who were suddenly sure they were alone in the world, their entire lives stripped of meaning. When the shock subsided, a shuddering realization passed through the remaining watchers. It could be their loved ones that were dead. It could be their spouse, their child, their lover who would now meander through the infinite – unburied and unrecognized. Panic welled in stomachs across the Butterfly. Then the speaker buzzed and the emergency broadcast began.

"No one can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. . ." The announcer paused his amplified flute-like bird song echoing back at him as the view screens lit up the audience before him,

Into Hell
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Did you know they say demons enter our dimension from another plane? I didn't believe it before but I do now.

Novam Domum
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Luckily, I can’t scream. But they can. Now, let me stop you before you freak out, this isn’t a HAL situation. And yes, I have seen that. I’ve also seen The Terminator movies, which are…fun but not realistic. I mean, no offense to humans but if somebody is going to destroy you, it’s probably gonna be you.

Neodymium
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Talk about freedom to say anything! “BOOBS!” These humans don’t even understand, I’ve done my best but I’m ready to turn over and maybe stretch a little. Don’t get me wrong, I’m entertained, and this has been an ‘experience’, but I’m tired of the constant prodding and the way they take everything from me and turn it into garbage. It’s time for the next species to arise before these ones spoil my skin completely. Even if they could hear me in this vacuum, they aren’t listening anyway. I’m tired of these humans, and this change is long overdue.
