Those attending Lou's trial. Only heard the evidence against. There was no defence. They all spread word of what they say on video. Before long, most onboard believed the second in command to be guilty. A few unsure but none but Lou voiced his innocence. An announcement would be made about how to deal with this and what punishment would be suitable. A crime like this had never been committed before.

Over the intercom system came an announcement. All cargo and transport ship will be returning to the ship. We will be making preparations for departure. With the influence former second in command, Lou Sifferman has brought to the planet and the inhabitants. It is thought best to leave and have no more influence over the development of these people.

A later announcement would say Lou would stay on the planet along with those he has already influenced. Those who conspired with him would also remain on the planet.

Levels 23 24 and 25 were separated from the rest of the ship. Lou was escorted to Level 23 before the separation. This would be his prison cell. A vastness of nothing with no one. Though the rest of the crew would be told he had been escorted to the planet.

On the planet.
Natives trying to plea with the invading aliens. The aliens not understanding a thing. Suddenly a Shout of YES!!!. I have it. I have it. I have it I think, YES YES I do. Well some of it. Look at this.

The alien gestured some of his comrades over which also seemed to encourage some of the natives too.

Oollauma, It's not the name of their land. It's the name of their planet. Where we are now is not their planet. That's what they are trying to tell us. Their planet is on the far side of the sun.

They have been asking us to return them to their planet. The stars in the sky and the seasons are wrong here. I will need one of you to verify this. If I am right there is another planet on the far side of the sun. These people were brought here from that planet.

Lou made his way to level 24 Maybe there is a ship in one of the cargo bays. No luck. He didn't expect to find one anyway. Then he heard the separation of the ship begin. This is to be it then. Left to float in space. Focus Focus he told himself. There has to be a way. He is on a spaceship. This ship was built in space and there is no way it would survive breaking through the planets atmosphere.

Okay I have nothing but time he thought. I'll go through every compartment and find a way. Soon to find, time is not something he had that much of, 236 hours and ticking down. They had rigged the ship to blow. This would give them enough time to leave the system and the explosion not be detectable unless searching for it. He could disarm this one. But how many more had they placed? And where? he must find a way of this ship.
