They had acknowledged long ago that they had no other option than to venture out into the distant stars and search for the new Eden which Gavril had apparently found on his reconnaissance, somewhere that they can call home once more.Gidhon stood on the deck observing the planet below. He could hear the constant ebb of the starship, and his thoughts turned to the heavily laden underbelly which sat beneath his feet, his cargo… their future, for without them they as a species will not survive."Is all well, Gidhon?" a voice asked.He groaned inwardly, and it was then that he remembered he was not alone, never alone to his thoughts, he shook his head as he heard Athena’s voice. Just why had they made this choice, he will never know, he thought.
