A short update: Apparently the co-pilot of the airplane that crashed in France tuesday morning deliberatly let the plane crash. The pilot had left the cockpit. Apparently is colleague didn’t let him back in and commanded the plane to dive.

Atleast the passengers only realised shortly before the crash what was going on.

I don’t know what to say.

kalisasims said:  Yeah, horrible 😦 I fly a couple of times a year and such news are always so scary. Those poor people.

It is horrible! And especially when it happens so close to home. (Humans are really self-absorbed creatures) Actually everytime I fly, I fly from Düsseldorf airport (the airport the plane was scheduled to land). 

There were just too many airplane crashes over the last year… And way too many young people died. (Not saying that it’s not sad that ‘old’ people died. It’s just horrible!)

I’m still at a total loss. A German airplan crashed in the french alpines on its way from Barcelona to Düsseldorf eight hours ago. 150 people died today, including 16 students and two teachers of a school in my region, possibly people my father (who is a teacher at the neighboring school) knew. My heart and prayers are with the families of the victims. 

Aldric laughed: “You of all people! I wouldn’t have thought that I’d see you again! Hey, you remember Almeric my brother? He’s married now. That’s Jane, my sister-in-law, by the way. Oh, and Jasmine and Zoe are married now as well! Crazy, huh? Anyway, what have you been up to?”

Stella sighed: “What are you doing here?”

Aldric: “Oh, we went hiking and somehow got lost.”

“That’s nice. Listen, it was nice meeting you all again, but I think it’s better if you leave now.”

Her former college friend ignored her last remark and instead tried to catch a view inside the old housing unit: “Hey, are you living in some sort of commune? Have you felt that weird force field this morning?”

Stella stiffened: “What did you just say?”

“Um, you know, that weird thing that happened today? This… feeling? Well, we all felt nauseous and I think our truck broke down because of this.”

Stella stared at him blankly: “You know what? I’ve changed my mind. Come in, you must be thirsty. Let’s talk.”

jaydesims said: Man I don’t envy Stella at all! Having to watch over all these recruits must be stressful lol.

Well, most of them are pretty easy. It’s just that the Luna sisters are really not up to Sixam standards (;)) and more fun-loving gals than interested in saving the Sixam race. (I’m going with strangetomatoes explanation here: The alien race is dying and they need hybrids to save them… or something.)

Auriga had the electricity, which was powered by a small windmill in the back of the building, up and running in about an hour and Eri managed to scavenge some food out of the UFO wreck. Others weren’t that helpful…
