Kid Command Mission Log – The Portal is Near
Commander Fitz keep us up to date each month as the KC team travels to Earth.
I just had the strangest dream. I dreamt of Earth and the children we have yet to meet. Our team and the Earth children were together in a lush forest that reminded me of the Vascupaz Mountains in region 7 on my home planet of Gorf.
As I searched the horizon I began to see a dark haze of some sort rising up and coming closer. In my dream I felt chilled when I saw this sight. It is imperative that we outsmart the elusive and destructive shadow forces of Ecnar Ongi with this mission. Could this dream be a clue of some sort?
Upon awaking I grabbed my monocle and notebook to journal my dream. But my writing was to wait as I was compelled to go to the cockpit of the craft. That is when I saw it…the bright light of the Liquid Portal. I had heard that the portal was like nothing we have in our galaxy; mistaken for generations as a star or mega burst. This was one of the most crucial parts of our journey. A mishap in timing and we would miss the lock-in point and be hurled into a black hole…
Continued next month…

Let’s Not Say Goodbye to The Leatherback Sea Turtle
 The world’s largest specie of sea turtle, the leatherback, is critically endangered due to the ever-growing problem of ocean pollution. Given its name from its hard rubbery shell and leathery skin this incredible sea turtle is extremely adaptable and can live in most any ocean. Only the leatherback turtle can keep its body temperature warmer than the surrounding water thanks to an oily, fatty layer under the skin which keeps blood flow away from the flippers. What a trick! Unfortunately, leatherbacks often mistake floating plastic for jelly fish which scientists conclude results in premature death.
