”Where is everybody?” Said Der after seeing that the bridge was co, and the place looked like it had been abandoned recently

While Der was busy wondering where the crew could have gone, the two young girls ran towards the other side of the bridge which would take theht where they and their parents lived

Suddenly, a few loud sounds came from the other side of that door

Der iirls, and stopped thee metal door He then opened it himself as quietly as possible, andon on the other side

A single big h for Der and the two girls to ignore it, and quietly walk into one of opened rooms on the other side

What they found, were eirls wanted to run towards the cabin where their fa on the other side of the porthole The view on the other side of the porthole gave to the deck, and fro out on it, Der finally understood as happening

About fifty people had grouped up on the deck, and were currentlyinto a smaller shi+p one by one Next to this smaller shi+p, was the captain himself

Unable to believe his eyes, Der kept the two girls fro out of the cabin, and instead looked at the last of the crew members enter this shalop Once everybody had entered, the smaller shi+p rose up in the air, and took off in the distance

Just as the small shi+p was about to leave the area covered by the spatial formation, it started to shrink, and be shrouded in darkness But then, it began to vibrate, and after only a couple of seconds, it exploded
