The robot was placed behind clear acrylic walls and it had one job – to contain the deep-red liquid within a predetermined area. When it senses that the liquid has trickled past the mark, it frantically brushes the liquid back.

Mya sat there with her hand around her patient's wrist. Silently, she held his hand, counting his pulse. She heard the ventilator give out. Mya counted as his pulse weakened. His face changed color in the faint green light, but Mr. Alavera never woke. Mya watched the sun start to rise through the hazy red and orange clouds that covered the moon in a glowing, poisonous blanket. She realized she'd counted to one hundred between pulse beats as the sun fully cleared the horizon.

It started small, with the glittering expanse above us, teasing, inviting whenever we gazed up. What could be out there? Are we alone? Are there others like us? Able to think, invent, and question? It always starts small, innocent, full of wonder, but also hungry. Curiosity is what
The questions drove us to other planets, their resources, and what they could offer. And once we got there, it felt right. We deserved it; it was owed to us.
We are the chosen ones after all. Because it was we who reached for the stars, it was we who harnessed them. This was all ours. And Everyone else...(signal lost]Image with text saying:
