" What do we do ? We need to come up with a plan fast.... Over " Said Samuel

" I don't know, the time is running out.... Over " Said Caitlin

" What did Sara tell you ?.... Over " asked Samuel

" She said she had figured out how to control the drones.... His plan is to leave without us, tomorrow evening... Over " Caitlin replied

" We can't let him do that, maybe we should take him out..... Over " said Samuel

" We can't ! Sara says that if we harm him in any way, the ship will go into lockdown....... Over " said Caitlin

" Then what do we do ?...... Over " Samuel was so angry.

" Even if we leave early tomorrow, we won't get to the ship in time..... Sara said several of those monsters still roaming around the area..... The only way we can escape them is by taking alternate routes and hiding until they leave..... In the best case scenario, it will take a few days..... Over " said Caitlin

" I'm also concerned about Sara because I know that she will kill him if he tries to flee..... Over " said Samuel

" Come back tomorrow as soon as you can... Over " said Caitlin

" Alright.... Delta over and out... " Samuel replied

Caitlin put the radio down. Then, she went out and told everyone to pack their things and prepare to leave. They were all happy.

Next day

Sara was learning about things she could do, and thinking of ways to prevent Wayne from leaving.

" What if Wayne is injured and is unable to return to the ship, what will happen ? Does the ship go into lockdown? " She asked NOVA

" Unless the captain orders it, the ship won't go into lockdown right away. Lockdown will occur if the captain does not respond after two minutes " NOVA replied

" But still no one can make it fly ? " Asked Sara

" No. Unless the captain gives the order, no one can . " NOVA replied

" Can you tell me more about your captain ? "

" How long has he been in the ship ? " Asked Sara

" He is staying in the ship for 5181 days " NOVA replied

" What ?!!!!! What does it mean ? he has been living on the ship for over a decade ? " Asked Sara

" Yes, 14 years, 2 months and 7 days  " NOVA replied

" But....All this time, he was alone ? " asked Sara

" Yeah " NOVA replied

" What about his family ? " asked Sara

" He never talked about his family. " replied NOVA

" Friends, girlfriend, anyone ? " Asked Sara

" I don't have any information about his relationships. He once mentioned a girl named Emily " replied NOVA

" What can you tell me about her ? " asked Sara

" Based on what I heard, they knew each other for only a day. " replied NOVA

" What happened to her ? " asked Sara

" That's classified . " said NOVA

" Can you tell me anything useful ? " Sara was feeling extremely annoyed
