Luke was processing his mortality in the shower for a few moments before he rejoined the rest of the group in dry clothing. His hair was still a little damp. Tessa shoved a cup of coffee into his hand, which he was honestly grateful for. He noticed that not everyone was in the Galley. Specifically the kid and Manny. Raynor looked irritated, which wasn't that different from what he had seen the guy look like so far. Tessa had given him a cup of coffee too, Luke could guess that she had spiked it for him. There was a palpable tension in the room. 

Luke had walked in as Kyle was talking. [color=f69602]"Well, I can't say I saw any of Them. But it was a bright light. Sort of the classic alien abduction. I don't remember talking with government spooks before. After the flash of light, it is blank up until we woke up here. So either those memories are gone, or I have none. As for the date, it was March fifteenth, 2021."[/color]

[color=7e5625]"I don't remember."[/color] Gordon said, he was frowning. [color=7e5625]"I only feel like I remember big things, not everything. There are some gaps"[/color]

Tessa seemed to suddenly have her memories return. She almost dropped the carafe of coffee, as she was heading out the door back to the Atrium to see if Manny, Noah, or even Zarina wanted some. She leaned against the wall for a moment collecting herself. Tears falling down her face and she turned to face Vinnie, [color=#ad4545]"I know how we know each other. We were roommates in college for a year. I took photography and videography with you. You work for Buzzfeed, that's why you know such weird things. You do videos on it. Even after we went our separate ways I watched your videos. I have a girlfriend, Mia."[/color] Luke raised an eyebrow, he wasn't totally surprised that Tessa was at least a little gay, but he was surprised at how she rambled at Vinnie and then just added, almost nonchalantly, that she had a girlfriend. [color=#ad4545]"The trees are the same ones as back home, redwood. That's why I felt connected to them. But yeah, the same thing. I was hiking. It was March fifteenth, early in the morning. I'm here, but she isn't. She was with me."[/color] Tessa added, almost as an afterthought, and then headed down the hall. 

[color=#45adad]"What is the plan from here?"[/color] Luke asked those left in the Galley. 

[color=f69602]"Well Cal isn't totally wrong. Space goes by maritime law. At least according to the movie 'The Martian'."[/color] Kyle said. [color=f69602]"I certainly don't think I have jurisdiction here. However, we have to acknowledge that Zarina remembered enough about Cal to know why she hadn't trusted her, and it is a valid reason. I think we should respect Zarina's desires and keep Cal and her apart. But even still I don't think it is fair to lock Cal up. I do believe people can change and reform."[/color] His voice was heavy and his expression was nearly unreadable but then Kyle winced and looked to Cal. [color=f69602]"Sorry if it feels like I'm ignoring your existence in the room. I'm not. It is however obvious that both Vinnie and Zarina are not comfortable working with you, Cal. So I suggest those of us who are comfortable working with Cal stay here in the Galley and attempt to find a way out of here. Those of us who aren't comfortable with her can go back to the Atrium and try to see what we can learn there."[/color] Kyle didn't particularly look pleased. Luke didn't know what was bothering the cop. If Luke didn't know that Kyle had already gotten all his memories back he would think the guy was starting to remember something.

Zarina could feel the water around her pull at the rope until it was loose. Manny thought she was coming back through the pipe toward him. Had she reached the end of what she could find? 

Noah also had most of his memories returned. His heart broke. His older brother was dead, murdered, and the culprit had never been found. Noah had just tried to get on with his life and had gotten into science to explain the universe. That was why his head was filled with numbers, it put everything in its place. He didn't notice Tessa until she handed him a cup of coffee. 

[color=0080ff]"Thank you."[/color] He said and saw that her face was still a little damp. [color=0080ff]"It was a cruel thing that They did taking our memories. Allowing us a brief respite from our demons and then it all coming back in one blow."[/color] He shook his head. [color=0080ff]"Now I know the faces and names of all I left behind and those who had left before."[/color]
