Reality
Chapter 1 Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. As it turns out, it wouldn’t matter anyway. If the aliens ever heard us scream, they would likely just roll their eyes and continue on their way. In the year 2079 when humans finally make first contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life the event didn’t go as anyone had expected. Prior to this event some people had feared that advanced aliens might be malevolent and decide to conquer us. Some had hoped that the aliens would be benevolent and help bring humanity into a new golden era. Instead, they just simply couldn't care less about us. Let me give you an analogy. Imagine meeting your favorite movie star. You run up to him or her super excited to meet them. The movie star, on the other hand, is completely bored with the encounter and cannot wait to get away from you. That is how the aliens treated us. Turns out they are neither benevolent nor malevolent. They are just snobs.

The future is female
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Two years, nine months and three weeks to the date, our team set out to explore our universe for possible planets to start a new utopia for the human race. We had high hopes but ended up with no success. So, we headed back but our ship fell into some complications. Surviving the comet shower was one thing, another was the asteroid field which left severe damage to all our thrusters. We were supposed to be back a year and 3 months ago but due to this 2048 technology that our scientists back on earth said was ‘top of the line,” the closest we got was past the larger moons of Jupiter. Being the crew's log keeper, it's my job to make sure that everything that happens on and off this ship gets documented. I think most of the men on this mission have not taken their jobs seriously.

Inside Aitken
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. There's no way to be sure who said it first, but they were dead wrong. Even three years later, Jasper could hear the screams of his brothers and sisters. Those screams are what haunted his dreams. He saw their faces when he closed his eyes. The fear in their eyes was readable, like a headline. The sounds of their voices only quieted after they were hurled thousands of feet from our ship, hurled into the void of space.

The Underdogs Cargo
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." Was something her father had told her time and time again while Rayneleign helped him repair the ship.

Vengeance in the Void
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The wails are cutoff, suffocated by a void too vast to pierce and too empty to resonate. The sound is not muffled or muted, it is lost; obliterated in a nothingness so dense that an inch may as well span lightyears.

Dutchman
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Now conscious despite everything, screaming because of the pain, Grant calmed down, hoping that SAR (search and rescue) would find him. He’d got the rest of his crew off his cruiser, the Davenport, before the ship made its last gallant run at the Dominion dreadnought.

Long Haul
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Truth be told, that was the main reason he took this job. He certainly didn’t need it. He was always good with money, and he’d made a decent living in his days at TransCon. He’d even convinced them to keep him on his routes long after everyone else had fully automated. Said he’d be a novelty. A bit of nostalgia for their older clients who were still pining for the “good old days”. And for a while he was. But when the legislation finally came down barring human-operated commercial transport vehicles, his good old days were officially done.
