Was going several days without finding anything bigger than a dumpster in the void a good sign or a bad one? They hadn’t been attacked, but they also hadn’t come across anyone or anything that could lead them to a way out. It was also becoming clear just how big this place was. Safa was theorizing that it was as big as the galaxy or even the entire universe, with some areas being more active than others, but refused to say anything with much certainty. Not enough data.

Oliver already had all the data he needed. This place was bad news. What little they had found had been pieces of various ships, all completely destroyed and uninhabitable. They wouldn’t see evidence of any ships who had managed to escape, but that was hardly reassuring.

At least Oliver had managed to sleep for six hours in a row, two nights running, leaving his mind clearer to solve the unsolvable.

From the look of the canteen, he hadn’t been the first one awake, someone had left behind a spread of their remaining fruit and bread. All the things that wouldn’t last much longer, leaving them to rely on their canned supplies, both human and otherwise.

One look at the pantry promised that while they were well stocked for now, eight people would go through what they had left extremely quickly.

Or at least, that was the theory. If he had actually run into another living being.

With only a few commands, the computer screen imbedded in the wall outside the canteen offered him a rundown of where he could find everyone else. Sprocket and Torque were already down in the engine room. Gwynn too. And Safa? Okay, everyone was down there except him.

Was that the kind of thing he should be concerned about. "Safa," he said, turning on his ship-board communication system. "Everything okay down there?"

The answer came back right away. "Yes. And good morning!"

Okay, so they weren't being held hostage by an invading alien crew, and they probably weren't planning a mutiny. Probably, he joked to himself.

Maybe he should head down there and see what they were up to, just in case? Curiosity would kill him before any aliens got the chance if he didn't.

The sound of laughter met him before anyone else did.

"Look who's up," Gwynn said, sounding eerily good natured, as soon as he entered the room. She was seated at the one desk in the room but had the chair swiveled outward to face everyone else. A few of
