He didn't think for a minute that any of this was real. Mankind had been scouring the universe for other signs of life for years and he just so happened to come across it in a half-assed expedition that he shouldn't even have survived from? He was either hallucinating like crazy or the luckiest guy in the world - no, the universe. Beck wished he still had some kind of communication with the space station back home but everything had been smashed and rendered useless in the crash. It was by some miracle his suit helmet hadn't even been shattered and that he could still breathe. He wouldn't be able to breathe for too long though, not if there wasn't any oxygen on this world which, explained by this woman, there wasn't any. She obviously knew about humans, and if this was actually real, it honestly unsettled him a bit that she did know how his kind. Suddenly the fast paced world back on Earth felt entirely minuscule compared to here.
Beck made no protests when she gestured for him to get into the car. He scrambled for his bag and slid into the back seat. A car in space? Not something anyone would expect yet here he was. "How do you know of humans?" he queried when they'd both eased inside the vehicle. "With no oxygen, I won't last long." Maybe wherever she was taking him there'd be oxygen?
