"Wait... Hiro?"...

"Tisha, what did you find?"

Tisha hesitated before passing the tablet to Alek. The screen displayed the news article, and Tisha's voice wavered, "The whole galaxy thinks I and Suki are dead, Alek."

Alek's eyes widened in disbelief. "But you're here... alive."

Tisha nodded solemnly. "Hiro must have thought we were gone. That's why he's been hiding. We need to fix this."

Alek glanced at the tab, and her eyes caught something. "Zlanov Crew? Isn't it that notorious space mercenary crew? Wait, Tisha. You're a part of the Zlanov Crew? When were you going to tell me that?" Alek asked, her curiosity and surprise evident in her voice.

Tisha sighed, her gaze shifting to the tablet. "Alek, I know you have every right to be angry. But… We were a crew, but we weren't mercenaries. We were just trying to survive out there."
