This is my story I've been working on. Hope ya like it so far.
Prologue
The Solar System, Year 2310
If anybody is reading this, just know that if you live in the 21st century, then be happy to know that you don’t live in the 2300’s. You will never see or meet a Russian space soldier, board an American gala-ship, meet native Martians and Saturians, or visit the Commonwealth of American Canada. Readers in the 2300’s, beware. Just warning you.
My name is Dac Kavonder, living on the American State of Jupiter. Considering all 21st century humans, let me lay this all out for you. In the late 2280’s, the North American Empire of America (otherwise known as the United States in your time. Canada was made an American possession in 2102) was the only nation in North America. It was still a democracy, though. It changed to the United States again soon after. So we have the U.S. out of the way. Now, all scientists in your age think that global warming will reach a point of no return, meaning of global warming, in 2060-70. Well, the rest of the world moved underground. Every single city and facility under the earth might be hard for you to comprehend. We’re not going to tell you how we did. Our secret. And nuclear weapons have been made obsolete, because we have more destructive weapons that no one wants to use. Well, maybe no one. Wow, so much to tell you primitives. Let me just narrate to you how the United States built their gala-empire in the Solar System and how my disagreeable and dangerous adventures began.
It all started with Kader Ramadan. The American inventor had discovered a way to make way to space without spacesuits in 2191. (the U.S. did not make a successful Mars landing in 2014, or until after Ramadan figured it out. But they had many lunar colonies in 2049.) Well, he was American, so he gave his secrets ONLY to the U.S. government. And the rest of the world went along their business, as if nothing extraordinary had happened. In 2193 the United States established the first Martian base ever. None of the world followed suit successfully except Russia, OF COURSE. It’s like the arms race all over again these days. Man, the Russians and we are struggling in a territorial war to control Saturn now. Why does it seem that we humans are always at each other’s throats? Every other country is still on Earth, living in peace. Maybe.
Well, I’m getting ahead of myself. Now let me introduce my background and me. I live on Jupiter, as I said. Since the planet has a liquid and gas surface, (technically, there is NO surface) we humans have floating, protected cities in the air. So far, Americanized Jupiter is full of floating habitats with people, making them their home. I live on one of them, but it is in a remote area of the planet and only my family and me live on it, where neighbors are more than fifteen minutes away. And our technology is very futuristic for you, but for us, it is part of normal, everyday life. Our currency is solid, holographic purplish-blue U.S. dollars! Cool, huh? But I don’t want to go into detail. Anyway, we all have good neighbors here. Oh, and the U.S. has made peace relations with native planet species. They’re friendly enough. But a few, like the mutated Mercurians, are known for their cruelty and viciousness.
Now, to how our adventures, full of misfortune, began. It all started when a well-known general from Russia disappeared on a voyage to the Far Systems. He was probably the most powerful man in our lost Russia after the Supreme Chancellor. Not that I care, of course. Everyone blamed it on the murky space dust, the giant gala-slugs, the cruel space raiders, or the rebel Mercurians, (who/what else?) but nobody knew the truth. Then a terrible blight came to our house one day….
