"Sure." Aquari says as she picks up one of the PFDs and tosses it to Mikov.

 

"Thanks." Mikov looks into distance thoughtfully. "When we were flying over this planet, did anybody see any land masses?"

 

"I didn't see anything, though I wasn't looking out the window during the flyby."

 

"Shoot. I don't think I saw any either."

 

"I think I might have seen something."

 

"Oh? How far away is it from us, do you think?"

 

Vox gets the paper out again.

Where? Distance? Direction?

 

"It could be a few miles. but it could also be a few hundred miles. I don't really have any idea."

 

Something is seen entering the atmosphere above, resembling some kind of escape pod or small shuttle heading to the right of the raft.

 

"I hope that's rescue...."

 

Vox nods in agreement and starts paddling towards the pod.

 

Keagan joins him in paddling.

 

Aquari also begins paddling.

 

A large island eventually comes into view.

 

"Look! Land!" Aquari says in an exited tone.

 

Vox starts paddling faster, picking up speed towards the island.

 

Keagan barely manages to match Vox's pace.

 

Mikov is also paddling, though being careful not to get his thumb too wet.

 

After hours of seemingly little to no progress, the island comes within swimming range.

 

Vox takes a small break, tired, and leans back in the raft.
