Words were lost on Hermes the navigator. He started up his sleek, gold-colored, star ship that would flow over the shining dust. His tools were at his side, ready for any mission. His ship left the planet of Pierialoa to fly through the great expanse of blue, white, and black. His only other company was a stray passenger vessel, searching for a planet to refuel on.

Ahead was his goal, the planet ruled by Calypso, who was residing there now. The great mass she called her home was a beautiful one, the leafy green trees were brightened by the sun passing through them. The water bubbled softly in a brook as the sun glistened off each individual drop. The grass even swayed to the soft, warm breeze in peaceful harmony. Even for a Great Being such as himself, this could be a spectacular home.


The familiar radio patterns of her palace caught on his antennae, revealing that this was indeed his destination. He touched down and made his way towards her palace. Where was Odysseus, the cause for his journey?

Now Hermes tells Calypso that Odysseus must be allowed to leave her planet, to return to his family and home planet of Ithacastus.

Odysseus looked into the jet black sky and longed for Ithacastus. Calypso said,

“Oh Odysseus, calm yourself, I will let you go back to Ithacastus.”
Calypso promises food, fuel, and water for his journey back to Ithacastus.


They returned back to the palace and she gave him food and drink for the long space trek.

“Son of Laertes, do you still wish to return to that planet of Ithacastus?” she sighed, “Still, have a good journey, though you will face trouble in the void of space. Why do you want to go back? Is it because of your wife? I am more beautiful and intelligent than her, the lowly human, aren’t I?”

Odysseus was a strategist, so he answered:

“Great Being, there isn’t any trouble, Penelope is only a Low Being and is pale in comparison to you; I want to go back home though, to Ithacastus where I was born and raised. Let me leave.”
So Odysseus takes a ship and goes off into space, but a Great Being notices his leaving. Poseidon controls the gravity currents of the universe, so he forces Odysseus to land. He crash lands on Scheriacasaunt where he hides under some wreckage of his ship and rests.

Odysseus if found by the daughter of Alcinous, King of the Phericians. A performer starts singing a song about Odysseus’ blockade on Troyadicus. He remembers all of the friends he left during that ten year war and starts sobbing uncontrollably. Alcinous asks him to reveal his identity. Now Odysseus starts his story…



“I am the son of Laertes, Odysseus. I lived on Ithacastus, it was a very surface, but that made it all the better two train and grow up on. I love it more than anything, even the Great Being Circe, who kept me on her planet. Even more than Calypso who detained me in her palace. It is even greater than a planet made of gold.”


“The Great Being Zeus pushed us across the void to the planet of Ismarostella. We stayed there, enslaving the females and wiping out the planetary defense system. I told my fleet to return, but they were mutinous. The planet’s bounty tempted them to stay.”


“After a while, the small are of the planet we occupied regained use of the planetary defense system. Sixty men were lost on each ship.”


“Zeus roused furious solar waves from a the galaxy’s sun against us. Our force fields were almost useless, so we hid our fleet in the shadow of a large moon. After a full revolution the waves had gone and we moved off. But the gravitational currents of outer space hurtled us around Malean and past Cytherapolah. For 216 standard hours we were caught in the gravity of surrounding planets.”


“We finally broke off and flew for shelter to restock and refuel. The planet we went to was inhabited by aliens who lived on only plant matter. Each ship’s ground force gathered. I sent out a small scout party to gather information concerning this odd planet. After a while of them not returning, we checked out the last transmission they had sent. It mentioned a plant called the lotus. We researched it and found that the lotus is beautiful to look at and even better to eat. It has special pleasure pheromones that cause the human brain to forget about all complicated thoughts. They never came back because they had eaten the lotus. I had to force them back to the ship, locking them in the lower decks. I sent word that we were off and that no one should eat the lotus, else they will never return home.”

The fleet lands on a barren planet and takes shelter in a massive cavern that covers a small fraction of the planet. The set up camp and ate.



“A massive giant with only one eye entered, dropping the planet’s plant life on his primitive fireplace. When we heard the crash we all scattered into hiding places. He let in his pack animals to milk and sealed the cavern’s gate. Twenty-four Troyadicirian plasma cannons couldn’t have destroyed the doors. He gathered the food these animals produced and ate it for his evening meal. Then he saw us.”


“‘Who are you? Where do you come from?’ he asked”


“I replied, we are from Troyadicus, we tumbled here off of the gravitational currents of the surrounding planets, and we wiped out the inhabitants of Troyadicus and destroyed its defenses, soon after we departed. You should give us gifts or Zeus will punish you.”


“He said to us, ‘Ha ha! Who do you think you are? The might of Zeus and all the other Great Beings doesn’t scare me enough to give you anything! But wait, where did you say you landed your large ships?’”


“I was ready for something like this, so lied to him, ‘The Being Poseidon destroyed our ships as we came above this planet, and we were the only survivors to escape.”


“He didn’t even flinch; he swept up many of our small scout ships and ate them. A beast who consumed metal was a new threat to me, so I was taken aback. We all retreated to our camps and waited till morning. What could I do though, kill him? If I did we would all be trapped here. We would have to wait until morning.”


“The sensors showed that it was morning on this awful planet. The beast woke up many hours after we did though. He harvested the milk from his odd livestock then ate two more scout #atmosphere designated ships. Then he took his animals out for them to graze and shut the gate so that we couldn’t escape. We were trapped.”


“So we waited.”


“So we thought.”


“Now I knew what to do. We found a massive tree in the cave and laser-sharpened it. We used our carbon-fiber cables to fasten it to most of the ships and waited for the beast to return.”


“The monster herded in his livestock again and milked them. He ate two more ships. I offered him some of our fuel, thinking that if he liked metal, he might also like oil. We sneaked in some chemicals to make him “woozy”. It worked, he was as drunk as a giant monster that eats metal and milks aliens could be.”


“He said, ‘Ah. For this I will eat your ship last. But what is your name good man?’”


“‘My name is Nobody,’ I told him. Then I gave the command for the ships holding the spike to drive it into his eye. It was thrust in with a huge squelching sound. He roared, he yelled, ‘Argh! My eye! Help, help!’”


“His brothers were passing by and asked, ‘Polyphemus, is someone murdering you?’ He replied, ‘Nobody is hurting me, Nobody is ruining me!’ The whole scouting party roared with laughter.”


“Now the animals were almost as large as the ships we had. So I thought up an escape plan. Now that Polyphemus couldn’t see we put our ships under the animals. The next morning, he let out his livestock along with us, though he didn’t know it. Right when the last ship was clear, we jetted off for the main ships. I couldn’t help but send down a transmission to him saying, ‘IF ANYONE ASKS WHO DEFEATED YOU, TELL THEM IT WAS ODYSSEUS OF ITHICASTUS!’ The monster roared and fired his largest cannon blindly. The charge exploded near us and sent a shockwave that pushed our ships out to the void.”

After their narrow escape, the fleet rests on another planet, AeoliaRentar, where the gravity Being, Aeolus, gives Odysseus a gravity-control box as a favor. Odysseus hides it on a ship. His crew thinks it has treasure in it so they play with it; it causes the ships to fall back to AeoliaRentar. Aeolus pushes them away.
They land on the planet of the Laestrygonians, every fleet except Odysseus’ is destroyed The #small fleet lands on Aeaeanirvana, where Circe, the sorceress lives. Twenty-three ships venture out and explore the planet.



“They all flew past the usually #lethal aliens, but they were not harmed. Circe invited them all in except for the leader Eurylochus. She prepared provisions for them, but poisoned them so that they all lost hope of returning home. Then she attacked them and used odd magic to turn them into animals used for meat. Eurylochus ran back and told us the bad news, that our companions were lost.”

Odysseus rushes to Circe’s palace, but is stopped by Hermes, who gives him the antidote to her poison. Odysseus persuades her to let the men go and stays with her for a while. After years of staying, they want to leave, but Circe tells them they have to go to the land of the dead. This is on the other side of the planet and they are to talk to the blind prophet Teiresias.



“Then I promised #reward to the man if he prophesied for me; many other dead people were drawn to the promise of reward and I was scared. He came through the crowd and said, ‘Odysseus, you will be the only survivor of your journey home, but there you will find many evil life-forms wanting to marry your wife. You must kill them to return to your former stature.’”

Odysseus returns to Circe’s side of the planet and she tells him that he will meet many trials. He will come upon the Sirens who send out wonderful signals that repair all problems a ship might have, but it would not let that ship go. She told him how he would come upon space monsters and he would lose six of his guard-ships. She says he will come to an island with many animals to eat. They are not to be consumed because a Great Being lives there and will punish his fleet if he loses even one beast.
Odysseus tells the men everything he heard from Circe except for the fact that he will be the only survivor and they set off.



“So we set off. I told my men that they needed to block all incoming transmissions when we passed the asteroid field, because Sirens (a people who had constructed the enticing transmitters) would seduce the ships into staying there. I however attached myself to one of the ships and kept my transmitter receiver on so that my personal vessle would be healed.”


“We made it past the Sirens and moved on to go in between two planets that were gravitationally locked very closely. On one was the monster Scylla who had six space craft-sized heads. The other had Charybdis, an alien that magnetically attracted and ejected many #objects. We had to stay on the side of Scylla because she was not as dangerous. She took off six of my guard ships and we mourned for them because they were our friends.”

Odysseus commands the remaining fleet to go to Thrilankain but tells them to not touch any of the livestock there.



“After a while on the planet, our rations ran low and space was dangerous due to the system’s sun giving off too much solar wind. I went off to plead with the Great Beings for help. Unfortunately, I fell asleep and when I returned, the men were feasting on the livestock. The owner of these “sun cattle” found out and asked Zeus to punish us. When we finally left the planet, Zeus sent a solar wave to destroy our ship, I was the only one to escape with an escape pod.”
