The Last Flight from nero366
3D Render by Henry1850The human race, once fractured and doubtful of its own survival, had finally learned to stand together. By the year 2842, we had become wanderers among the stars—explorers, miners, farmers—stretching our reach to distant worlds. We had spoken with alien civilizations, though they remained far beyond our grasp, separated by gulfs of space even our near-light engines could not bridge.
On Nero366, a mining colony carved into the crust of a volatile planet, families lived side by side with danger. Scientists had warned of the world’s unstable pressures, but under strict guidelines, light mining was deemed safe. Those guidelines were shattered the moment greed uncovered a massive deposit of Californium-252—worth trillions, but buried deep in forbidden zones.
The planet responded with fury. Without warning, Nero366 convulsed. The ground split open, molten heat surged upward, and the air itself seemed to burn. Families scattered, desperate to reach the starship waiting in orbit.
The last starship had already begun its launch sequence. In three minutes, its star drive would ignite, tearing it away from the doomed planet forever. On the surface, a small landing craft clawed its way skyward, engines screaming, every ounce of power pushed beyond safe limits. Inside, Jake’s father gripped the controls, pounding the window as if sheer will could close the distance. Beside him, a mother clutched her daughter, eyes locked on the heavens where her older son waited aboard the starship.
The starship’s alarms blared, echoing through its corridors: “Safety restraints engaged. Two minutes to ignition.Panic rippled through the passengers. Every second was a knife cutting away hope.
Then the comm crackled alive. The voice of the landing craft’s captain roared through the static, raw with desperation:
"Open the bay! Engage crash restraints! I’m coming in hot—no time left!"
The landing craft shuddered violently, its hull glowing from the planet’s searing heat. The bay doors of the starship began to open, a final chance, a sliver of salvation. Inside the landing craft, Jake’s father’s knuckles whitened on the controls, sweat pouring down his face. The mother whispered prayers, the daughter’s tears streaking across her cheeks.
The countdown ticked mercilessly: One minute… forty-five seconds…
Hope was fragile, but it was alive. If they could make it—if the landing craft could pierce the bay before the star drive ignited—then families would be reunited, and humanity’s fragile unity would endure one more day.
The stars waited. The engines roared. And in that moment, every soul aboard both ships held their breath, balanced between annihilation and survival.
The Last Flight from Nero366 — Climax
The landing craft screamed through the atmosphere, its hull rattling as if the planet itself were trying to tear it apart. Jake’s father’s voice was hoarse, every syllable a plea and a command: “Hold together… just hold together!
Inside the starship, the countdown thundered: “Sixty seconds to ignition.The bay doors yawned open, a glowing mouth of salvation, but the gap was narrow, the timing merciless.
The landing craft’s engines flared, pushing beyond safety limits. Warning lights painted the cockpit crimson. The mother clutched her daughter tighter, whispering, “We’ll see him again. We’ll see him again.Jake’s father’s knuckles bled against the controls, his eyes locked on the shrinking window of survival.
“Thirty seconds.The craft lurched, a shockwave from the planet’s cracking surface slamming into its side. Metal screamed, panels tore loose. For a heartbeat, it seemed the ship would tumble into fire. But Jake’s father wrestled it back, teeth bared, muscles trembling.
The bay loomed closer. The starship’s captain shouted over comms: “You’ve got one shot—bring it in!
“Fifteen seconds.The landing craft dove, engines shrieking, the bay rushing toward them like a promise. Inside the starship, families braced, restraints locking, prayers whispered. Jake’s older brother pressed his face to the viewport, eyes wide, willing them in.
“Ten seconds.The craft slammed into the bay, sparks exploding as metal kissed metal. Crash restraints snapped, locking the vessel in place. The impact threw everyone forward, but the restraints held.
“Five seconds.The bay doors sealed. The starship’s systems roared, the star drive igniting in a blinding surge. Nero366’s surface erupted below, a final convulsion of fury, but the starship tore free, vanishing into the void.
Silence fell. Breathless, trembling, alive.
Jake’s father slumped back, tears streaking his soot-stained face. The mother sobbed into her daughter’s hair. And somewhere in the starship’s corridors, a family was whole again.
Humanity had survived another trial—not through greed, but through courage, sacrifice, and the desperate hope that even in the darkest moments, we can still reach for the stars.

Sun, Dec 14I think in the end the story too longer than the image which itself too some time especially for the custom work on the near exploding planet.
Thank you so very much for your sweet comment.
