A Year?

Syverzius descended into the Zatorian grounds gradually while it's Captain and a team member took time to process the shocking news they got. "I chose to go at the speed of light for so long,  no wonder a year has passed on Zato," Captain Kazaliur explained. 

"Captain Kazaliur, welcome back to Zato. Did you figure out how the wormholes act"? Commander Nexer asked.

"For us it has only been a few weeks, Zatorian time." Captain Kazaliur explained. "We were able to perform only one experiment, and it almost cost us our life" Captain Kazaliur informed the commander.

"I see," Commander Nexer sighed. "I suppose we are not meant to defeat the Smeranas after all".

"They are a global threat. Eliminating them won't be easy." Captain Kazaliur argued.

"It took them over a decade to replace many earthlings, and they still needed more time. We have to be patient" Xander added.

"You have only waited a few weeks" The commander pointed out.
