Deep space exploration #3 : something wicked this way comes

We’ve taken a break to figure out what to do next. The news of the titan’s imminent destruction reached us a couple hours ago- and it’s worth celebrating, and yet.. I can’t shake the feeling we should head back.
With news of the titan came news of the others, the weird noises they are emanating, the spectrographic images, and I can’t help but feel unsettled by it. I don’t know why, but it’s just. Flat terrifying if I’m being honest. This means something significant enough to warrant every single titan sending the message, even the ones allegedly dead. It’s something bad, for all of us.
Cass tells me we should head back, to await what is coming. “We’re no fighters, but we can damn well haul people out” she tells me, and I have to wholeheartedly agree on that.
We’ve changed the co-ordinates back to the bubble. We’ll try and ferry as many people out as we can, hopefully enough to make a difference. We’ll just, do what we can.
Dad told me about that once, “We do what we can so that others can do what they can, and by the end of it there’s nothing left to do.” Not, entirely sure that made much sense but, seven-year-old me understood it alright.
I’m, getting off topic.
We should hit the core systems soon enough hopefully, there’ll be more updates then.
