Stella cleared her throat: “So from what our guests and I have gathered, we are approximately 10 days away from the next city without any means of transportation, which precisely means we’re stuck here. Auriga tries to get the old communication system up and running, but this will take some time. Eri tries to retrieve the emergency switch so we can send a distress signal to our civilisation, but given the state of the wreck, this might be impossible.”

“I don’t think we should try to communicate with them.”, Andromeda sounded cold, “Who knows who will come out here. We should concentrate on getting back to Sixam.”

Stella interrupted her: “I can understand your point Andromeda, but the world has changed. And there are people in this group whose home is on this planet, so it’s only fair to help them.”

“You know we can’t trust Sims! What if whoever we can signal wants to see us dead?” Andromeda suddenly sounded scared.

“Um… You know we usually don’t want to kill you?” Aldric interrupted their conversation.

“But can you assure us others don’t want to see us dead?” 

“Cyngus, calm down.”, Stella glanced over to Percy, who smiled at her superiorly, “I know that some of you or your parents had bad experiences with Sims, but I can assure you that times changed and I can guarantee you that these Sims, in particular, won’t harm you. We don’t know what happened yet and as long we have to presume that there is danger outside, we have to stick together. Guys, I think you can understand that there are some trust issues. You can stay for now and we will help you but please also understand that it might be better if you stay outside. You do have hiking gear with you, right? I’m pretty sure this situation will be solved in no time and we all be home soon!”
