"Looks like we're going to have another group of companions on our ship. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the picture on the screen, Zhou Xin said softly.

"Your Excellency, the rescue ship has been fully recovered, please instruct." As soon as Zhou Xin's words were finished, the Voyager's report sounded in the command cabin.

"Then let's fly away from the Green Star first." Zhou Xin thought for a moment and replied, "With the technological level of that spherical battleship, maybe there will be other means after the explosion, so it's better for us to stay away from this planet." ”

As the Voyager launched, Spred asked, "By the way, what are you going to do with the corpses of the crew that were brought back?" ”

"I don't know what you guys think." "If it were us, I think most of us would want to bury ourselves in space after death." ”

"In that case, let's do as you do." Spred nodded.

"We don't have any problems with that." Dart agreed.

"I'm going to ask Jeno, and if he agrees, then I'm going to hold a farewell ceremony for those who died......"

Two hours later, Voyager's dock No. 1:

This is the largest area on the Voyager, and today, all the people who can come to the ship are gathered here. It can be seen that everyone's face is full of irrepressible sadness at this time. Directly in front of everyone's face-to-face positions, a full fifty capsule-shaped hibernation pods were quietly placed there.

"It's all my fault, if only I hadn't pestered Uncle Captain to go to Green Star." At the front of the group, Ralph was standing beside Zhou Xin and crying in a low voice, while Christy beside her was whispering and comforting her. Ever since the spherical battleship appeared, she had always felt very guilty, thinking that it was her own idea that had harmed the people on the Green Star. Therefore, she has been hiding in her room for the past two days, not daring to face the others, and at the moment of saying goodbye to them, the guilt that has accumulated for a long time finally broke out completely.

"Well, you don't have to be overly sad." Seeing that Christy's comfort had no effect, Zhou Xin said, "It's not your fault alone, even if you don't bring it up, there will be people who will put forward the same idea as you." Even I had similar plans, this time it was just a little bit of our luck that we just happened to run into them. ”

"Really—is it—so?" Ralph said with tears in his eyes.

For Ralph, Zhou Xin was not ready to tell her the results of the previous detailed discussion, but just nodded, "That's it, if you don't believe it, ask your father to go." After Spred confirmed Zhou's statement, Ralph's mood finally stabilized. Seeing this, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said slowly, "That's right, now, let's send them away." ”

After that, Zhou Xin stepped forward and said to everyone in the hall with a heavy tone: "Come to think of it, you should also know what happened in the past two days. He let out a long sigh, "That's right, we came across the spherical battleship that attacked us before. And, because of their presence, we have lost seventy-five of our companions who used to be with us day and night. Regrettably, we have not been able to recover all the remains of our companions. As he spoke, he walked from one end of the sleeping pod neatly placed on the ground to the other, and every time he walked in front of a hibernation pod, Zhou Xin would always stop and take a deep look inside.

After reading them all, Zhou Xin walked back to the crowd and continued: "Although there are accidents and force majeure in their sacrifices, it is undeniable that they are also related to our negligence. After saying this, Zhou Xin, Spred, and Dart bowed to everyone together, "For this, we must apologize to everyone here, and learn from it, and ensure that the same mistake will not occur in the future." After saying this, Zhou Xin retreated to the team, and the farewell ceremony officially began.

Because most of the dead were Atlanteans, the ceremony of sending them off was the first to take place. And the people who presided over the ceremony were none other than Retina and Christie, who had presided over the festival.

Now they put on costumes they hadn't seen since the festival, and whispered what might have been the Atlantean's own requiem at the front of the procession. Then, they led a procession of a dozen people behind them to perform a brief ceremony in front of each of the dead Atlanteans.

Zhou Xin saw that they first sprinkled a few drops of water on the head of the Atlanteans who were lying quietly in the sleeping pod, and then sprinkled the water from the head to the end of the foot little by little. Then, Rettina and Christy walked around the hibernation pod three times at each end. After the rounding, the chanting turned into a rapid silent thought, and in the silence of the two of them, the person behind them stepped forward and slowly closed the lid of the sleeping pod. After the hibernation pod closed completely, the two resumed their whispered singing and walked towards the next hibernation pod.

After this ritual had been performed in front of all the dead Atlanteans, the two of them stood in front of all the Atlanteans with their procession. Soon, the whispered chant spread throughout the ranks of the Atlanteans. At this time, Dart walked out of Zhou Xin's side, and he sang loudly in Atlantean through all the sleeping pods. As he stood in front of the last dead Atlantean, all chanting stopped abruptly and the audience fell silent.

After three minutes of silence, Dart said, "Let's send them away." ”

As he uttered this, the droids appeared, and they began to carry the hibernation pods containing the Atlanteans to the launch port one by one. Soon, these hibernation pods will be launched and become graveyards in space.

Looking at the robot's movements, most of the Atlanteans present couldn't help but cry. Amid the crying, Dart said slowly: "Since ancient times, our ancestors have never feared death in order to fight against all kinds of dangers. It is precisely because of this spirit that our civilization has been passed down with great difficulty and has not been broken to this day. And as their descendants, we must not be afraid of death either. As he spoke, he glanced at all the dormant pods in front of him, "The deceased is gone, and I don't think they want us to be too sad in the other world." I hope you can pick yourself up and continue with the path they haven't walked yet. ”

In Dart's persuasion, the sobs gradually faded. Ten minutes later, all the remains of the Atlanteans were sent into space......
