Sebastian stared at Enid. The doctor informed him a devastating news. Her shattered skull fragments severely damaged part of her brain, she will lost half of her body motor function, and there was nothing they could do for her.

  "Enid.." he clutched her hand.

  He heard the nurses discussing about the Garbitian's visits to the infirmary. An announcement from the bridge informing them of the arrival of the 2nd alien ship.

  “I’ll be back..” he whispered to her before leaving the infirmary.

  He arrived just in time to witnessed 6 aliens entering the cargo bay. They were all humanoid and lacking tails; 3 of them were small, not even half his father's height when they shook his hand. They were accompanied by two hovering round robots with stubby limbs, carrying a container.

  Sannekth asked his father for volunteers to helped them transported containers from their ship. His father relayed Sannekth request to the captain. Sebastian, eager to see the alien ship, quickly volunteered himself. His father was reluctant, but relented after seeing his eagerness.

  A while later, the captain finally returned with several volunteers, they were all looking nervous. Sannekth told them come closer as he opened the container, revealing a stack of spacesuits that were different looking from the one used by the aliens, it was big and fluffy. He distributed the suits to the volunteers and told them to wears it.

  Sebastian stared at the suit for a moment before donning it. They now looked like a giant marshmallow, which drawn laughter from the crowd. Sannekth handed them their helmets. Embarrassed, one of the volunteer donned it right away. Her spacesuit immediately shrunk to fit her body, it now resembled the one used by the Watcher.

  Seeing it, Sebastian quickly donned his helmet. A message appeared on the visor telling him to remained still as he felt his suit shrunk and tighten. When it stopped shrinking, another message appeared, allowing him to moved his body. He tried moving his arms and walked around, It’s much more flexible than ours..

  "Thank you.." said Sebastian to the small alien helping him putting the air supply tank to his back.

  Sannekth instructed the volunteers to followed the 3 aliens and the 2 robots. As they entered the airlock chamber, Sebastian saw him was conversing with the 3 small aliens, he also pointed at the cats there, which drawn an ire from one of the small alien; it punched Sannekth's leg.

  When the airlock outer gate opened, there was a tether connecting their ship to the alien ship. One of the alien grabbed the tether and was pulled towards their ship. The alien beside Sebastian motioned at him to hold on the tether.

  Obliged, he grabbed the tether, but the sudden pull caused him to released his grip midway and he was thrown into the outer space. Fortunately the alien saved him and brought him to their ship.

  As soon as he landed on the alien ship, he fell to his knees, his body was too heavy, the other volunteers also unable to stood up when they arrived. A moments later, his body became lighter and he was able to stood on his feet.

  "Sorry," apologized one of the alien, it voice was soothing "forgot to lower the gravity."

  The aliens pointed at several large containers there. Sebastian and the others went back and forth, transporting the containers back to their ship.

  After finished transporting all the containers. Sannekth and the other aliens helped the volunteers removing their spacesuits, and as a thanks, they were allowed to be the first to received the content.

  Sannekth opened one of the container, inside was stacks of smaller containers. He distributed the small containers to Sebastian and the other volunteers, telling them to opened it.

  A fragrant smell coming from the container when he opened it, inside was fruits and berries. He tried the berry, it moist and much sweeter than any of the fruits they grown here.

  While he was preoccupied tasting the fruit, he just now noticed the 6 aliens removed their helmets. He couldn't believed his eyes, the 3 small aliens face resembled a cat, although everyone there were more captivated by the 3 other aliens beauty. They resembled human, but their skin were bluish and their long yellow leaf-like hair glistened under the lamp.

  Sannekth introduced them. The beautiful blue aliens was a race called Umistric, while the cat aliens was Lunluna, and the 2 floating robots were actually another alien race called Haron.

  With their mission to delivered food supplies for human done, they bid farewell and returned to their ship. Everyone at the cargo bay was so grateful to them, they couldn't stop thanking them as they entered the airlock chamber.

  Sebastian helped distributing the alien food to everyone on the ship. Everyone was initially complained about the food; the steak was blue and the weird looking steamed fish was unappetizing, but once they tried it, they all agreed they had never ate anything more delicious than this. After distributing the food to everyone, he took a box with him and went to the infirmary.

  Sebastian entered the infirmary.

  “Sebas?” Enid called, staring at him confused. She was alone and still strapped on the bed.

  He dropped the box on the floor and ran to her side.

  "What happened? why am i here?" she asked.

  "Enid- but how!? the doctor said-"

  "Those cat aliens," said someone behind them "they cured everyone."

  Startled, Sebastian quickly turned around. One of the doctor has just entered the infirmary, carrying a box and took Sebastian’s box he dropped. He went to put the boxes on the desk before went beside Enid and began unstrapping her.

  "Thank you doctor.." said Enid.

  "I am Fabius Alexander,"

  Sebastian and Enid introduced themselves.

  Alexander told Enid to sit on the bed and while scanning her head, murmured "The brain is fully healed.. what an incredible medicine.."

  "What do you mean they cured her?" asked Sebastian.

  Alexander walked to his desk and motioned at them to took the seats in front of him.

  "The cat alien came and examined all the patient here.." he opened the box "they injected you with a fluid and applied an ointment on your head."

  "Umm.. cat- alien?" she blinked "vote?"

  "While you were unconscious, a group of aliens calling themselves the Watcher arrived and gave us two options, joining them or getting a new home," Sebastian explained "everyone choose a new home.."

  Enid clasped her hands "Really? our own home like our ancestor? are they still here?"

  "The cat alien already left" said Sebastian "only Sannekth and his 2 companions remained."

  "I see.. still.. i would like to meet with them.. i want to gave them my thanks.."

  "I'll introduce you to them later" Sebastian opened the box "uhmm.. you must be hungry.. they provided us with some food, it may looks odd but it's delicious."

  He gave her half his portion and they started eating.

  "Wow, this is so tender," Enid beamed, taking a small bite of the blue steak.

  "Right?" Sebastian munched the steamed fish "By the way.. doctor Alexander, what do you voted for?"

  He wiped his mouth with a napkin "Joining them. i am fascinated by their technology. Look at her, she- this is beyond our capabilities, i want to learn more."

  "I too voted to join them-"

  "You chose to join them?" Enid flabbergasted "but.. why?"

  "Ah.. yeah, i never shared it with you.. It always been my dream to explore this galaxy, this is an opportunity, but.."

  "Well.. we cannot change the result, there is nothing we could do," Alexander sipped the alien drink "Wow! this tastes like a coffee! it's been a while- you know.."

  Sebastian chuckled.

  "A new home.. i hope it's beautiful like earth.." Enid wondered

  "Yeah.. hopefully.." Sebastian said "wait.. maybe.. if i-" he murmured. Noticing Alexander and Enid were staring at him, he quickly said "Never mind," and continued eating.
