Aurora in The Barren Moon

I create Aurora one of  the primary characters in The Barren Moon.She acts as a sentient starship with a self-aware sentience.Aurora enjoys the company of her human crew mates and grows lonely when  they leave the ship  for a planet landing party. She relies on her A.I  for language communication alongside  conveying messages across space. Aurora also possesses a mischievous side  that comes out when left alone for an  extended period of time. She displays cautiously about humankind desiring to increase her knowledge of them.

I decided that Aurora’s size will thrice the  Great Whale . Her creator Nehiem  an admirer of  science-fiction found inspiration  of the living ship Moya from Farscape for Aurora’s creation.

My sentient starship despised warfare and violence.She  exhibits  intelligence , resourcefulness, meekness, strength and inquisitive personality.She  good – natured plus an natural leader among her plant race

I will explore Aurora’s sentience and creation as my story evolves.

“Liteatuant Colonel  Gabriel made plans to explore the moon of  Saturn. “He is recruiting an expedition team and they are in training .”

“He did not inform me about his plans.I got demoted and blamed for the destruction of the Class A Battleship.

She  opened the blue communication line to Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel encouraging  him to bring his companions for lunch  lattes ,mocha and coffee made by her.

At the command  center,Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel sees the blinking of the blue button revealing that Aurora’s invitation .He relayed back to her”Sorry,Lost track of time””What time is lunch ?
