Sebastian took a deep breath "I can do this.." he murmured.

  He went to his father office but he’s not there. The minister told him his father was at the bridge. He thanked the minister and went to the bridge, passing the mess hall, he glanced at the calendar, it have been 6 days since the Watcher arrivals.

  In front of the bridge door, It's time. He entered and approached his father who was conversing with Sannekth and the captain.

  "Sebas? why are you here?"

  "Father, may I speak with you in private? and “Sir- sir Sannekth.. if possible, i'd like to speak with you as well."

  Sannekth stared at him for a brief moment before saying "Very well."

  His father looking at him confused, but he asked the captain to use his quarters. Sannekth and Sebastian followed him to the captain's quarters.

  His father closed the door and asked "What is it?"

  "Father, I- uh.. have decided.. i want to join the watcher."

  "Huh? what!? but! Why!?" His father flabbergasted

  "I- i want to explore the galaxy. Ever since i watched those movies with mother, i-"

  He talked about his dream and desire while his father quietly listened to him.

  "Until now i-"

  "I see.." his father replied, he looked sad, "your mother loved those movies.." he closed his eyes "She always insisted to watched it whenever we were together, also telling me how she dreamed of exploring the galaxy," wiping tears on his eyes.

  "Father.. i-"

  "If that what you wish for.." he put his hand on Sebastian's shoulder "Her last- your mother- she made me promise to always let you follow your dream. When you asked to join the repair crew, i- i initially opposed it, i- I'm afraid of losing you like her- But.. seeing you like her- I-” he smiled” Son, go.. i fully support you.."

  "Father.. let's explore this galaxy together.."

  His father shook his head, "Sorry son.. but i can't.. no more.. i-"

  "Father-"

  "Go, realize your dreams.."

  "Yes father.." Sebastian hugged him before turning to Sannekth "Please, let me join the Watcher."

  Sannekth laughed "Welcome to the Watcher kid,” he rubbed his chin “hmm.." he then looked at his father "May i speak with all your subjects once more?"

  "eh?"

  "The votes result, theress were others like your son who wanted to join us."

  His father looked hesitant, but Sannekth insisted. His father told the captain to informed the whole ship to gathered at the nearest monitor or speaker. Everyone on the bridge was looking at each other confused.

  On the speaker, Sannekth informed the Watcher will now welcomes any human who wishes to join them, regardless of the vote result. This caused a stirs among the bridge crews, although some of them looked excited hearing the announcement.

  Not long after, Ammaurith stormed the bridge and confronted Sannekth. "Nekth! oors kesu! us los valuvalr ultusas samsu! Guls se url!"

  "Don't worry," he said "high elder will understand, no.. he will be exhilarated."

  "Os oors saim vors! ultus afs!!"

  Sannekth waved his hand, telling her to lead him there. He told his father and Sebastian to accompanied him sorting some problem. Ammaurith brought them to a mess hall not far from the bridge.

  There, a young girl and maybe his father arguing, it seemed she wanted to join the watcher, and not only them, there were others who also arguing with their relatives or friends. Sebastian’s father tried to calmed them down, but they ignored him. They stopped arguing when they saw Sannekth kneeling beside the girl.

  "What's your name kid?"

  The girl looked nervous "Eabha.." she replied.

  "Is he your father?"

  She nodded. He stood up and asked Sebastian’s father to gathered everyone who was opposing to the largest hall. His father although confused, nodded and relayed Sannekth's request to the bridge, to informed the whole ship.

  After gathering all of them in the largest mess hall. His father told him to stay outside before entering the hall with Sannekth.

  He leaned on the wall beside the door. A loud banging coming from inside maybe someone was punching the table or wall, then more shouting, and his father yelling at everyone to calmed down.

  It lasted for maybe an hour, Sannekth exited the hall with satisfied expression; his father followed behind them, looking exhausted. He told Sebastian Sannekth had successfully persuaded everyone by promising to gave them regular reports of their relatives who joined the watcher.

  About a thousand humans joined the watcher, most of them were younger than him; Enid despite looking reluctant at first, also decided to joins.

  "I don't have anyone else.." she said "except-" her face turned red "no! forget that!"

  A group of elderly people also chose to join the Watcher, they wanted to spent the time they had left to see a glimpse of the galaxy.

  Sannekth smirked "Don't worry.. you will have plenty of time."

  The elderly people were looking at each other in confusion.
