Part 2/9:
The story begins with Captain Clark on a romantic date with a passenger named Elena. Elena, claiming to be separated from her husband Charles, expresses her desire to continue a relationship with Clark once they reach Earth. Just as their date appears to flourish, disaster strikes: the ship's communication system shuts down. Matt, another crew member, interrupts to confront Clark about the ship's delay, revealing that Clark has kept this crucial information a secret from the passengers. Despite Matt's insistence that they must inform the passengers about the food shortages and impending danger, Clark remains adamant that he will not share the news until they find an alternative solution.
