Sandaar Star!
A planet with a highly civilized, peaceful, and prosperous society, equipped with advanced, even science-fiction-like technology, where even the sky is a beautiful pink-purple color.
Moreover, it is the station for the Nova Corps, responsible for maintaining cosmic peace.
Every morning, Nova Corps warriors pilot their Nova fighters out of the Cosmos for daily training.
If you have the chance to stay at the Do Hotel in the city center, you can even watch the Nova Warriors’ daily training up close.
Compared to Earth’s so-called do hotels, which are more like hanging a sign without true grandeur, Sandaar Star’s Do Hotel is truly deserving of its na.
The Do Hotel floats above Sandaar’s city center, connected by transparent energy bridges to circular platform communities.
Each platform is an independent suite, surrounded by a spherical energy shield with adjustable transparency that ensures privacy while offering an unbeatable 360-degree view.
Right now, Gwen is wearing a Sandaar Star-style Nova Corps cultural sleepwear, sitting on the balcony of her room, watching the horizon where the Nova Corps is training.
Today marks the thirtieth day of her honeymoon journey with Hawk.
If Gwen were to rate this honeymoon journey,
Five stars.
Extrely satisfied.
Over the past thirty days, she and Hawk have left their footprints all over Sandaar Star.
They visited the Nova Corps Hall of Honor.
Gwen saw the history of the Nova Corps, from the initial tribal alliance to establishing a global peacekeeping force, witnessing the spectacular scene where Nova Corps mbers united to construct the famous golden energy net to try to stop Ronan’s Dark Star last year.
They also visited Sandaar Star’s fad nature reserve, the Phantom Light Forest.
It’s a breathtaking forest.
The plants are not purely green but showcase a gradual color change of blue, purple, silver, and pink.
The animals are also very unique and gentle.
They also explored the Shandar People’s ancient ruins and even went to a dreamy island just for the two of them, where they dined while admiring the spectacular gradient colors painting the clouds gold, orange, red, and purple as the sun set on Sandaar Star.
Gwen now sits on the balcony, looking at the projection screen in front of her, doing what every newlywed wife does.
She is sorting the multitude of photos she took during yesterday’s visit to the Nova Corps headquarters and doing so simple editing.
Gwen’s purple necklace on her right wrist seems to flow with purple light.
This is her latest computer.
She purchased it in a duty-free shop upon arrival at Star Port when registering her entry into Sandaar Star.
At this mont.
Hawk, dressed in a suit, carries the breakfast served by the staff from the room onto the balcony.
"Hi."
"Hi."
Gwen, who is editing photos, cos to her senses, smiles happily at Hawk as he approaches, and kisses him.
Hawk places the breakfast on the balcony table.
"Breakfast is served."
"Got it, just a mont."
Gwen says as she speeds up her photo selection, quickly deleting photos that have poor composition, undesirable backgrounds, or bad exposure.
Photos with such issues are not allowed in her honeymoon mories.
Soon.
Gwen taps the purple bracelet on her right hand with her left hand, and the one-person-only visible projection vanishes, then she accepts the knife and fork Hawk hands over.
Don’t ask Hawk why, even beyond Earth, the cutlery on an Extraterrestrial Planet is still a knife and fork.
Because this question is as silly as wondering why the entire Cosmos speaks English.
Gwen eats breakfast while discussing today’s plan for the last day of their honeymoon journey with Hawk.
"I checked with the hotel, and there are many souvenir shops on Harmony Square. After breakfast, we should go explore the souvenir shops and buy so gifts to take back to Earth."
"Alright."
Hawk responds with a smile.
With the Reality Gemstone in hand, the world is his.
Things on Sandaar require money, but Hawk can use the Reality Gemstone to create the necessary currency.
Just like when he and Gwen piloted the Enterprise to Sandaar Star, entered Star Port, and used the Reality Gemstone to create two Cosmic Bounty Hunter identities for a smooth entry into Sandaar Star.
So...
Don’t worry about buying a little; even if Gwen wants to buy out all of Sandaar Star’s goods, Hawk can afford it.
But Gwen actually already picked out the gifts in advance to bring back to Earth for family and friends.
The Music Stone, which can compose music, is a gift for Jean, who served as the flower girl.
The sand tray that can project specified star maps in holograms is a gift for Sharon, since a detailed cosmic map might allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to step into the Cosmos sooner.
Also, there is a jar of seeds said to bloom with rainbow-colored flowers in any environnt.
Gwen bought two boxes, twenty-four cans of it.
Cheap and pretty, perfect for gifting to her bridesmaids and her mom, Helen.
And of course, there’s wine.
A locally brewed Sandaar Star flower honey wine with bubbles and a soft glow.
Low alcohol content, tasty without getting tipsy.
Paired with rainbow flowers, it’s a perfect gift.
Gwen bought ten boxes of this.
She also quite enjoys drinking this flower honey wine.
Due to the bulk purchase, the store thoughtfully arranged for the goods to be delivered alongside Hawk and Gwen onto the Enterprise docked in Sandaar Star’s orbital Star Port.
Gwen stands at the Enterprise’s window, gazing at the slowly rotating Sandaar Star below, with that pink-purple atmosphere, white cloud swirls, and the city lights shining on the continent at night.
Hawk approaches from behind: "Nova Corps will conduct a boarding inspection in ten minutes, once cleared, we’re ready to depart."
Yes.
Checks are perford to prevent anyone from taking prohibited items from Sandaar Star, a routine departure inspection.
Hawk didn’t mind this at all.
He and Gwen were on Sandaar Star for their honeymoon, and when traveling, it’s best to follow the local laws and regulations.
Gwen withdrew her gaze, turned around, and looked at the approaching Hawk.
"I suddenly don’t want to go back, Hawk. It’s so beautiful here."
"...Alright."
Hawk was montarily taken aback by her words, then smiled and said, "We can stay for as long as you want. You decide how long we stay."
Gwen pouted playfully.
"Hawk, I was joking. It’s beautiful here, but Earth is our ho."
"I thought you were serious. You know, I always listen to you."
"I know."
Gwen smiled brightly, lowered her gaze, touched her abdon, and then looked up at Hawk: "So, you’re not allowed to interfere in our children’s education in the future."
Indeed.
She was pregnant.
Just half a month ago, while visiting the Sandaar Star Technology Exhibition Hall and passing by sothing resembling a scanner, it unexpectedly revealed this joyous news to Hawk and Gwen.
And it’s twins.
One boy and one girl.
Hawk imdiately took Gwen to a local hospital on Sandaar Star.
Indeed.
The services at the local hospital were excellent; not only were all the examinations for pregnant won free, but they also introduced to Gwen the various benefits if the children were to be born and registered on Sandaar Star.
Gwen was persuaded right on the spot, created a maternity file at the hospital, and with a wristband, no matter where Gwen went during her pregnancy, she would be reminded in ti to return to Sandaar Star for the next stage of examination.
No choice.
Sandaar Star offered too much.
At this mont, most of the cargo in the warehouse of the Enterprise wasn’t purchased by him and Gwen, but was various nutritional products provided free of charge by Sandaar Star to pregnant won.
But...
Gwen wanted the children to be registered on the high-welfare Sandaar Star, Hawk had no objections.
But as for education?
Hmm, no.
Hawk shook his head: "I insist on retaining my educational authority, my dear. I may choose not to exercise my authority, but I can’t do without it."
In response, Gwen compromised.
"Then you can’t interfere when I’m educating the kids."
"That’s acceptable."
Hawk nodded in agreent.
While they were talking, a Nova Corps Star Port inspector arrived, pulled out a device in his hand, and with a buzz, perford a quick scan of the Enterprise’s hull, then signed his na on the clearance form and handed it to Hawk.
Hawk signed his na and handed the inspection form back to the inspector.
The inspector smiled and shook hands with Hawk.
"Safe travels, Mr. Phoenix."
"Thank you."
Hawk returned the smile, courteously seeing the inspector off the Enterprise.
Soon after.
The clearance for the Enterprise to depart was issued from the Star Port, with a buzzing sound, and the barrier securing the Enterprise was smoothly released.
In the bridge room.
Hawk called the intelligent program that manifested with the Enterprise for operating the ship.
"Enterprise!"
"Sir."
"Quantum Planet Belt."
"Received, plotting course, route successfully planned."
"Set sail."
"Understood!"
The Enterprise powered up fully, and after leaving Sandaar Star, it buzzed into full-speed flight, heading towards the final destination of this honeymoon journey, the Quantum Planet Belt.
The so-called Quantum Planet Belt is, essentially, the Cosmos’ asteroid belt.
The only difference is that the asteroids here exist in a quantum state, to put it simply, you never know where these asteroids will appear in the belt the next second.
In the Quantum Planet Belt, countless asteroids kept appearing and disappearing in a quantum state.
They darted around like wild horses.
Hawk didn’t quite understand what was so interesting about it.
But Gwen said it was a place where you could observe the quantum state with the naked eye, having an indescribable aesthetic.
Indeed.
Once won are pregnant, their aesthetics seem to change.
Hawk thought to himself.
At that mont.
The Enterprise suddenly sent a warning, and the warning lights in the bridge began to flash.
