The eight of them decided to stick together as they split up and went in different directions. The other group went straight ahead and the eight went down the side corridor towards where the guards were standing. They crept towards the door and looked in, they saw that the room was filled with guns and other devices, Lewis realised that from the movies he has watched this must be the armory. He looked at the key pad on the wall and swiped his arm over it, the door beeped but nothing happened. He tryed it again but still nothing happened, he looked closer at it and saw that this one had a green light not a blue light. He conected the dots and realised that the different coloured bracelets open the doors with the same coloured light.

He put on the green bracelet on his right arm, now he had two bracelets on the one wrist, he swiped his wrist over the pad and it opened. They walked in and he looked around the room before entering, "It's all clear" he replyed. They came into the room and were astonished by the amount of weapons that were there, they all grabbed a gun and some of the other devices. They grabbed some sort of device that was spherical in shape and black in colour, they had no idea what they did but it must do some damage if its in here with the guns. They grabbed them and then realised that they should tell the other about this. Lewis ran out into the corridor but it was too late, they have already left and were unable to be seen.

They continued down the corridor and now they felt alot safer as they all had guns. They came across an unguarded door, Kasey peered in and saw that this lead to a large room, they tryed to opened the door with the bracelets Lewis collected but nothing happed except for a beep. Lewis looked at the device and this time the light was red, "guys, we need another one to open the door, we need a red one this time" Lewis said.

Kasey saw the room was empty except for alot of consoles that were in the alien language, she told the others to come and look. They looked around the room and there was another door that lead some were else, Lewis had a look through the window and saw several aliens coming their way through the other door. Lewis watched them as they entered the room, several of them walked to the consoles and began to do something. The ships engines started and they began to move. Lewis watched in awe as he had finally seen an alien without it's helmet or the suit, it had different shades of blue, light, dark and even the slightest bit of white. It was hairless, and had smooth looking skin. The alien looked back and forth from the console to the screen as it typed with an amazing speed. It's golden eyes were set back in it's head, with human lips, it mumbled in it's native tongue.

Lewis saw how the two slits above the lips flared, this must have been its nose. This particular one was dressed quite differently as it was not wearing a suit but it was wearing what one could assume to be formal clothes. It was made of blue fabric that flowed from the neck to its feet, the edges were laced with  goldern fabric and had various  symboles all over it. This alien was clearly highly regarded amoung it kind, perhaps a comander or a navigator of sorts. The other two aliens were all dresses in similar cloths except that they wore white clothes without the symbols and they were at the other consoles. He assumes that they must be the pilots or the ones that opperate the ship.

Lewis had seen enough of aliens for a lifetime, They needed to get everyone and leave the ship before it was too late, Lewis watched as the aliens pressed buttons and moved knobs, he was watching and remembering incase they needed to use them to escape somehow. As they continued down the corridors the walked passed a window, Lewis stopped and looked out the window in awe, the other kept walking and took no notice that he had stopped. "Um guys, you may want to take a look at this one!" Lewis exclaimed. "What is it, we don't really have the time for this at the moment Lewis, we need to get the others and Mitchell" Kasey said. "Yea, we should keep moving so we can get off this thing as fast as possible" Christine added. "That's going to be a problem, not to be a Debbie downer or any thing but I really insist that yous come and take a look at this" Lewis insisted. "Fine but we need to hurry" said Ellen. They came to the window and looked out, the eight of then stood there, both under the spell of its beauty and the horrid realisation that there was no easy way back. Through the window they saw it, for the first time in their lives, with their own eyes, they saw the vast oceans, the green hues of the forests and the dead deserts. With their own two eyes they saw earth, from thw ships orbit in space.

"How are we getting home now, before it was nearly impossible but now, were in fucking space!" Jaidyn shouted. For the first time, this whole idea of getting home felt so remote that they felt something inside of them. This feeling was indescribable, to understand this feeling you needed to be on the ship, looking out onto your own planet from it's orbit. They felt like what ever they did, it wouldn't matter, they would never go home again, never see their family or their loved ones again. Lewis noticed that everyone started to loose hope. "Guys, I know that were probably never going home, or that we will never see our loved one again, but were here now, our friends are on this ship, there are people on this ship other than our selves, we need to think of them now if we are even going to have the slightest chance of getting off of this ship. We have to find them and together we stand a chance of going home, I am not going to lie to you, we are probably going to die today, but if you are with me, together with the help of the others we can get off this ship and retern to our families. Will you help me?" " Kasey wiped away her tears and said "I will help you, we still need to save Mitchell and the others". "We still have to help the other group, we need to find them" Chelsea added.
