Seth’s speech gave him a flood of positive perception energy from everyone on the ship and caused the entire mood to make a 180-degree turn.

Most people, especially the younger ones, looked excited to make this place theirs and rebuild it into a perfect home, as Seth had said just before.

“I’ll stay here and keep everyone on the ship safe. Don’t worry.” Replied Maya with a smile.
