"Everything needs to be locked down."
"There's literally stuff everywhere." Penny told her dad, following him into the cockpit.
"Whatever you don't want hitting you in the face, put it away." John ordered.
"Will you just hear me out?" Don asked the family.
"We need to go." Judy dismissed the man's words while the others ignored him.
"Maybe the only thing better than us taking off is making sure that SAR can't!"
"What are you talking about?"
"SAR can't attack Alpha Centauri if SAR can't get there. So maybe, we ground him here on this planet."
"How?" (y/n) spoke from behind.
"Kamikaze his ass! Drop a Chariot on him! I don't know."
"We don't have time! SAR could launch at any second." Maureen stated. It was clear to everyone in the room that she was stressed from the pressure because for once, she didn't have a clear solution on how to stop SAR.
"That's what doesn't make sense. Don, how long since you got scanned? An hour?" John asked the man.
"Yeah, give or take."
"If the robots have known about Alpha Centauri since then, how come SAR hasn't launched yet? We would've seen or heard him if he had."
"Well, maybe his ship is damaged. He crashed here just like the rest of us." Judy theorized, thinking of all the possibilities on SAR's delayed launch.
(y/n) denied the theory. "We've been on this planet for nearly a day, they clearly have more advanced technology then us and would've finished the repairs by now."
It was clear the the robots were light years ahead when it comes to technology, and being machines themselves, they would have no trouble fixing up a ship.
"Maybe he wants more than a map to Alpha Centauri." Maureen said. "Will, he wants something from Will. He always has."
(y/n)'s faced dropped, looking around the room to realize that there was indeed a missing person.
"Where is Will?" (y/n) ran out to the hall. She hoped that he was just busing talking to robot and that she would find him safe and sound.
She had hoped wrong.
The boy was no where to be found. The girl ran into his room to find his mother watching a tape. A tape with Will's last message.
(y/n) hesitantly walked closer. Maureen saw the girl's hesitant steps and angled to camera screen towards her.
