A round trip ticket.
That's right. I was going to fly to Homestead II,
live for a year and then right back to Earth.
I don't get it. I left Earth for a new life.
But you end up back where you started.
I end up in the future. 250 years in the future.
On Earth, which is still the center of civilization, like it or not.
And I would be the only writer
that ever travel to the colony world and come back.
I'll have a story no one else can tell.
What story?
Humanity's flight to the stars.
The greatest migration in human history.
It's the biggest story there is.
But you won't know any of the people who were reading it.
But they'd be reading it.
Well, they would have been.
I'll never write it now.
I don't know if I'll ever write again.
Jim, I can't think of anything else to try... to save us.
And I don't even want to think about it anymore.
What is there to do around here?
- Are you serious? - I'm dead serious.
Partner mode.
Come on, get in partner mode.
You just stand here, and then we repeat what they do.
Is there anything else we can do?
- Just do the... - Okay.
Here we go. Let's see if... Oh.
Why are you smiling?
I'm up 2 points.
Who's the lovely lady?
This is Aurora.
Aurora. A pleasure.
- You did great! - Okay. One more time.
One more time. Let's see it.
Sorry I didn't wear pants for a month.
That's 7 weeks and 2 days, to be exact.
The man has no shame.
Well, you're a little lacking in that area yourself, Arthur.
I laughed at a man with no pants until I realised I have no legs.
For a minute, I almost forgot my life isn't ruined.
I'm sorry.
What for?
I'm going to go to bed.
- Good night. - Alright.
Good night, Aurora.
She is wonderful.
Excellent choice.
