summary: Orion a young man who aspires to join the Star Command one day gets infected by an alien symbiot. He joins a notorious space pirate known as Sunny Rogers as they sail through the galaxy and beyond...
Chapter 1:
Garbage ship 3X-00D sailed slowly though outer space, it was very large spacecraft which carried and disposed every waste and junk on galaxy D on a waste disposal planet which was yet unnamed. This planet was unhabitable because it was covered in thick clouds of acidic gasses called korodium, this acid could turn anything except iron to dust.The garbage ship moved atop of the planet,it was cuboid in shape and rusty in colour, it had six garbage chute underneath but was very strong. The garbage chutes opened and every trash from the galaxy landed into the acidic planet, those which could not stand the acid turned into dust while the metal junks began to rust.
After the ship left a person in a metal space suit arose from the scraps and began to pick whatever useful scrap he could find, after collecting his fill he also left the planet on a jetpack.
Ganymede station is a space station which turned into a hub city where space ships came to dock and came for repairs, it was also a central black market where used spare parts of spaceships and robots were sold . Ganymede had the shape of a very large crescent moon, from afar one could think it was a white crescent moon but wrong it was the most busiest market on the galaxy. Orion sulked at a corner after a client had refused to buy his scraps due to the facts that they were rusty and outdated, no one considered his risk of going to an acid filled planet to find junk, he counted his savings #20,000, which was not enough for him to enter to the star command military academy, Orion moved into Ganymede station as a litre boy after the only member of his family his sister died. He worked as a porter, a janitor now his latest job was that of a scavenger who went to the waste disposal planet to hunt hunks and sell after the garbage ship had offloaded the trash, all his life Orion had always wanted to join the Star Command - the strongest military force in the seven galaxies. After he had made enough money in Ganymede he had planned to enrolled himself as in the military academy and become a fine star commander someday- this was his dream.
Orion checked the unsold junks and sighed. Life was not easy. He noticed a metal jar which he had not sold, out of a curious mind he opened the jar and a black liquid flowed out. It was flatter than a shadow and it had bright yellow markings on its body, the mysterious liquid flowed or rather moved like it knew where it was going, it began to spread about suddenly it stopped and gathered itself together and became still... "could it be acid?" Orion asked himself, then with a quirk of bravery he came forward and touched it ... as his finger came in contact with the substance it attached to his body and began to spread around him. Orion's vision began to blur as the liquid began to form like nano bots as it quickly spread around his skin, soon his whole was covered in the black substance with bright yellow markings. He screamed in pain and fainted. This was no acid attack but one of the unknown terrors from outer space.

Chapter 2:
<you are mine>
<bow to me!>
Orion suddenly woke up from his sleep, he had heard a voice in his head and his body was not covered in black stuff... it was all a nightmare. It was morning and Orion got ready for work, he noticed that traders and the buyers were in a restive mood and they gathered together in groups discussing. Orion came closer to one of the groups and overhead their discussion... a star command ship was in Ganymede,
"cool!" he exclaimed as he discarded his plans for the day to see the ship which was parked at the end of the space station. The Star Command ship was very large and silver in color, it looked flat with very wide wing spans. On the spaceship was the logo: a golden sun with a pair of wings and seven gold stars around it. The star troops marched out of the ship dressed in their fitted blue and silver military space suit carrying an optic blast gun each, they looked admirable and ready to protect. A silver plated robot came out slow and began to scan the environment- everyone who gathered at the scene watched with awe.
The robot who scanned the environment began to make a beeping sound, the commander of the troop and his vise rushed to the robot who suddenly began to move among the crowd as if it was searching for something, the troop readied their weapons and people began to murmur amongst themselves, could there be a very dangerous criminal in Ganymede? The robot suddenly stopped and faced no other than Orion...
"LIFEFORM 900.56 DETECTED, SECTOR ASSISTANCE NEEDED IMMEDIATELY" the robot said in it's feminine voice, Orion who was shocked didn't understand jack of what it was saying but he knew trouble was coming. "Restrain him!!" the commander ordered and the troop rushed to get their target.
"Hey what's going on I'm innocent I'm not a pirate!, I can show you my ID. Please leave me!" he pleaded but troopers sent to get him only attached a metal collar to his neck and dragged him to the ship, he didn't know what the robot saw but he knew he was arrested for a crime he knew nothing of.
As he was being carried into the ship, a speedy bullet from nowhere landed at the heart of the vice commander killing instantly. Everyone one panicked at an instance and the troopers went around looking for the culprit. No one could have known, a tiny dynamite had been strapped on Orion and before anyone could discover it... it had exploded.
In the screams and pandemonium a sinister looking large man carried Orion's body among the pile of dead troopers.
"today is your lucky day" the man said to the unconscious body of Orion and left.
