“L8, do you think we’re going to find another planet?” I asked.

“It’s too soon to tell.” L8 said to me. She was a faceless robot that had a mannequin’s body in a spacesuit. “We still have lightyears to go before we find anything.”

L8 grabbed a small machine. “That I do. Why would I leave it back over there?”

I looked at the computer screen to see what was behind us. It was an Earth that resembled a bloody sore.

“Farewell.” I said to the screen showing my former home.
