Sequence
Setting: Kyle and Neela arrive at the spaceship. Akira steps out of the vehicle, and Nee spots her from a distance. Nee runs toward Akira and hugs her, her face glowing with joy.
Nee: (happily) “I missed you so much!”
Action: A little farther off, John is cleaning the second fighter craft, which they’d pulled out of the spaceship’s hangar earlier. He glances at Akira’s vehicle and then walks toward them.
Action: Akira looks at John, and Nee suddenly notices two people in the back of the vehicle. She stares at them in surprise.
Nee: (amazed) “Who are they?”
Akira: “Come on, step out.”
Action: Kyle and Neela hesitate for a moment before getting out. Nee watches them curiously.
Nee: “Where’d you find them? They look so human, but their skin and faces are different.”
Action: John joins Nee and Akira.
John: “They’re aliens. Probably from another planet.”
Action: Excitement sparkles in Nee’s eyes.
Akira: (pointing to them) “This is Nee, and that’s John. I’m Akira.”
Action: Neela steps forward warmly.
Neela: “I’m Neela, and this is Kyle.”
Kyle: (awed) “Nice to meet you!”
John: (smiling) “Tired? Let’s head to the ship’s restaurant.”
Neela: (surprised) “The ship has a restaurant?”
Kyle: (curious) “Really?!”
Action: John beams, and they all head toward the restaurant. A sense of wonder and excitement fills the air. This is the start of a new adventure for them.
Sequence 21: Entering the Restaurant
Setting: Kyle, Neela, Akira, and John make their way through the storage bay and corridors toward the restaurant. John quietly says to Akira:
John: (softly) “Are you sure about them?”
Akira: (softly) “I’m still suspicious, but we need to wait and see what they do.”
Action: Nee glances at Kyle and Neela as they head to the restaurant with enthusiasm. Inside, Neela and Kyle are amazed by the clean, orderly space.
Neela: (stunned) “It’s so neat and clean here!”
Kyle: (amazed) “Really! I’ve never seen a restaurant like this.”
Nee: (smiling) “Come sit down—I’ll bring you some food soon.”
Akira: “Yes, please, go ahead.”
Action: John sits in a corner of the restaurant, observing from afar. Nee heads to the kitchen to prepare food while Akira sets the table for Neela and Kyle.
Neela: (surprised by the aroma) “This smells delicious.”
Kyle: “But I’ve never eaten anything like this before.”
Neela: (worried) “How do we eat it? Is it safe for us?”
Akira: “Try a little. If there’s a problem, we’ll know right away.”
Action: Neela, with a hint of fear and a glance at Kyle, tastes a tiny bit. Then she exclaims in surprise:
Neela: “Wow, it’s so tasty!”
Kyle: (concerned) “What’s wrong, Neela?”
Neela: “It’s really great!”

Action: Neela and Kyle start eating eagerly. John remains seated in the corner, watching this remarkable scene unfold.
Sequence 22: Secrets Behind the Food
Setting: Neela and Kyle are enjoying their meal while Akira watches them closely. John continues observing from a distance.
Action: Neela smiles at Akira and asks:
Neela: (cheerfully) “This food’s so interesting! How’d you make it?”
Akira: (smiling) “I made it from ingredients found on Baros. We’re used to the plants and creatures here and know how to turn them into food.”
Action: Kyle suddenly grows uneasy and asks:
Kyle: (hesitant) “These ingredients… none of them are dangerous, right?”
Akira: (confidently) “No, I know these materials well, and the food I make is safe for humans.”
Action: John, who’s been silent until now, suddenly speaks up.
John: (worried) “Akira, are you sure this stuff is harmless to us? We’re from a different planet—we might have allergies.”
Akira: (thoughtfully) “I get it. Before you eat more, why don’t you tell me about yourselves? I could make something suited to you.”
Action: Neela and Kyle exchange a look, and then Neela says to Akira:
Neela: “We’re from Earth, where the plants and animals are very different. We’re used to foods with protein and vitamins.”
Action: Akira listens carefully.
Akira: “Good to know. I can make something that fits your diet. But first, do you know anything about Baros’ creatures?”
Kyle: (thinking) “Like that thing that attacked our pod?”
Action: Akira pauses, as if lost in thought, then responds:
Akira: “Yeah, that was a predator. It attacks anything alive in its territory. You should be cautious—Baros isn’t full of just harmless creatures.”
Sequence 23: Shock and Concern
Setting: In a tense, space-like atmosphere, John suddenly jumps into the conversation with worry.
John: (loudly, upset) “Akira! You’ve done something risky again! Didn’t I tell you to keep us in the loop?”
Action: Akira, slightly upset by John’s criticism, looks at him.
Akira: (calmly) “I just wanted to…”
John: (a bit angry) “You should’ve come back!”
Akira: “I was looking for plants and creatures when I suddenly saw that thing.”
Action: At that moment, Nee steps in, trying to calm things down.
Nee: (smiling) “Alright, John, relax! Everyone’s safe now, and we even have two guests.”
John: (pausing, then pointing at Nee) “Nee, you need to be careful too. Don’t leave the ship alone.”
Action: Neela and Kyle, unaware of this exchange and puzzled, watch the scene unfold.
Kyle: (surprised) “How strange! That girl who took down that creature so easily is getting scolded now?”
Neela: (curious) “You’re right—she’s so strong, but her crew’s calling her out.”
Action: Akira looks at her friends with determination, the tension palpable in the air.
Action: Everyone’s eyes are on Akira, questions swirling in their minds—questions that hint at the beginnings of trust and teamwork for an uncertain future.
