Humans’ Limits 0357- Past

A vertical lift aircraft took off from the island serving as the external base for New City. It almost looked like a spacecraft, and nothing like a plane at all. And maybe, it could actually fly in space.

The inside was not that luxurious, despite the status of those it was carrying, but it was spacious, with seats that were wide, comfortable, and with enough room between each of them.

However, Lucas was leaning his left shoulder against the aircraft, looking out of the window beside him, as if to reminisce about his journey to the deepest part of the ocean. Estrella was in front of him, sharing the view of the ocean, her expression calm.

It was Hannah, who was behind them, and who could not sit down while everyone else was on their feet, who was looking helpless. She had her head lowered to the personal terminal strapped at her left wrist, her fingers dancing over the screen just as it had been ever since the three of them had stepped into the atmosphere.
