After two days on the International Space Station, Hull was picked up from the space station by the space shuttle launched from Earth. After returning to Earth, Hull was first taken over by NASA's medical department to check on his physical condition. After careful examination, it was confirmed that Hull's physical condition was good, and Hull was transferred to a NASA-affiliated nursing home. Although Hull was anxious to talk to the main person in charge of NASA and tell them about the situation of the Hades and Gaia civilization, the staff told him that when he went to the sanatorium, he was naturally contacted by special officials.

However, after a whole week in the nursing home, he still didn't see any of the people in charge come to him, and just when Hull was a little restless and was about to ask the staff directly for the phone information of the person in charge, an uninvited guest finally arrived.

In the early hours of that morning, Hull, who was used to going downstairs as usual, had just returned to his room, and when he pushed the door in, he saw a man in a suit sitting on the sofa in the room waiting for him.

"Mr. Galen!" Hull hesitated for a moment, and then recognized the other party at a glance, this is not Galen. Smith? As the main astronaut of the Hades, he worked with Galen. Smith had met and knew him as one of the leaders of both the Pentagon and NASA.

"Hello Mr. Hull, I'm glad you remember me." Gallian. Smith smiled and stood up, taking the initiative to shake Hull's hand.

Then, Galen. Smith invited Hull to sit down on the couch next to him, as if he were the owner of the place, and then said apologetically, "I should have met with you earlier, but there have been some things that I really can't spare time for, so I have put it off until now." ”

Explain a sentence that Galen. Smith asked bluntly about the Hades spaceship, especially about the Gaia civilization. Before coming to see Hull. Gallian. Smith has already learned some information from the information recorded by Guò Hull in the space shuttle, but this is only a preliminary understanding, and in the end, he has to verify with Hull, after all, Hull is the party who has experienced this incident before and after, and his role is irreplaceable by a simple document.

For Galen. Smith had no objection to Hull's questioning, and he had asked him to start with the Hades spacecraft leaving Earth for Pluto. It's a long storytelling process, and apart from a few repetitive flight processes, Galen is in other detail. Smith demanded that he speak as carefully as possible, so Hull spoke slowly, recalling as he recounted to him that sometimes Galen. Smith interrupted him and asked a few small questions, which Hull answered.

The narration lasted from morning to afternoon. They even ate lunch in their room, and in the course of the story, one spoke carefully, the other listened attentively, and it was not until the sun was setting in the west that Hull told of the scene when he had fled from the Hades.

"By the time I came back to my senses in the space shuttle, the Gaian spacecraft docked with the Hades had already entered a curvature flight, and the last message from the Hades was sent at the instigation of Captain Doolittle. But it was only half a sentence, and then they disappeared completely before my eyes....... ”

When it comes to this episode. Hull's mood was noticeably fluctuating, and his friends disappeared before his eyes, along with the Hades spacecraft and the other astronauts on board. Hull was particularly worried about the fact that they had no idea what they were facing.

"Mr. Hull, I know that you and Captain Doolittle are very good friends. He was also recommended to me by Captain Doolittle when he was his deputy. So, I understand your mood very well. However, what is even more strange to me is that, according to you, you were near Pluto after escaping Hades on a space shuttle, but only 8 months ago. You've crossed such a long distance from Pluto to Earth? ”

Hearing this inquiry, Hull obviously hesitated. The question Smith asked was also something he had been bothering all along. These days, Hull himself has thought about it carefully, and even wondered if it was the aliens from Pluto's alien base who saved him and sent him from Pluto to the vicinity of Earth?

Because in these eight months, or seven and a half months to be exact, it is impossible to sustain such a long time with the consumption of materials and oxygen from the space shuttle. Moreover, before coming to Earth and boarding the space station, Hull checked the material reserves on the space shuttle, and at that time he found a very strange situation, that is, the material reserves on the space shuttle were almost no different from the material reserves left after he wandered in space for half a month, so it means that he has not consumed the materials on the space shuttle at all in these 7 and a half months, which is simply too strange.

It was as if these seven and a half months had been completely erased from Hull's life, and it would be more accurate to say that he and his space shuttle had disappeared inexplicably during these seven and a half months, and had inexplicably appeared near Earth's orbit, and in the short period of time in between, he had never existed at all.

"I don't know, I really don't know ......." In the end, Hull could only give such an answer, and he frankly addressed Galen. Smith voiced his suspicions, but they were only suspicions, and as for what was going on with him, and what had happened in the past seven and a half months, both the computer records of the space shuttle and his memory were all blank.

Gallian. Smith sighed softly, though he had been prepared for nothing before he came, but when Hull told Sù that he didn't even know it, Galen. Smith was inevitably disappointed.

The disappearance of the Hades spaceship, the emergence of the Gaia civilization, and the powerful power of Pluto's alien base have affected the life and order of the Earth and all nations and mankind. When the message sent back by Hades from Pluto was received by Earth, whether it was NASA, the Pentagon, or even the White House, it was extremely shaken. Then, the information sent back by the Star from Pluto also arrived in Russia, although the information was strictly confidential, but some were always revealed, and when the media finally became aware of the situation, the dissemination of information was no longer controlled.

Moreover, Russia's Starry Sky returned to Earth more than half a year ago, causing great shocks around the world. The sudden appearance of the Gaia civilization caused panic and turmoil on the earth, and the governments of various countries vigorously suppressed the riots caused by the alien civilization, and finally stabilized the order.

Ask all the questions you need to ask, Galen. Smith, with his expertise, certainly saw that Hull had nothing to hide. It's getting late, Galen. Smith stood up and thanked Hull and hoped that he would have a good rest here, that it was not a shame that he was able to escape from the Hades back to Earth, but a hero, especially by bringing back some detailed information about the Gaia civilization, something that the humans of Earth desperately needed.

"Mr. Galen, I don't think there's anything wrong with my body, can I do my best to restore my work?" Hull, who is concerned about the Hades and his friends, doesn't want to be idle in the sanatorium every day, not to mention that the emergence of the Gaia civilization is a crisis for the human race on Earth, and Hull wants to do his best to do something with his own ability.

Gallian. Smith thought about it for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but I think you should go home and see your family first, and when you are done with these personal matters, I very much hope that you can join the alliance." ”

"Alliance? What alliance," Hull asked, puzzled.

Gallian. Smith explained: "The Earth Alliance, a new organization just formed by the United Nations, is primarily a global organization to guard against the threat of Gaia civilization to the solar system, as well as Pluto's alien base. NASA and the Pentagon have agreed to join this organization under the authority of the White House, and I am now the representative of the U.S. government in this organization, and I think that with your ability and experience, you should be able to play a greater role in this organization.
