Instead of feeling like people would consider he regretted his decision, the Vice-Chairman asked the whole country to send well-wishes for the astronaut to return him alive after successfully accomplishing his task.
Due to being inspired by the astronaut's passion, everyone had a good affiliation with it. That was why they were worried about his return, whether they agreed with the Vice Chairman's decision or not.
The whole country was excitedly waiting for the good news. Unfortunately, the astronaut didn't return even after one day. People began blaming the Vice Chairman for that. The astronaut's family members were openly cursing him, considering sending the astronaut to Mars a big deed.
Even though the Vice-Chairman was so strong to bear controversies, he gave up. He claimed in front of all people that his decision was wrong.
"I feel so guilty of my decision. Even though we didn't know sending the machine to Mars was useful or not, we did that just as a chance to gain the Alien's attention. However, I still hope the astronaut will safely return to his homeland".
Instead of supporting or understanding the Vice-Chairman viewpoint, the people caused more challenges for him.
The information changes a little bit when the medium is human. Everywhere the news was spread that the Vice-Chairman sent the astronaut to space through proper planning. He had admitted his crime on his own in front of all people to get people's sympathy and get rid of the punishment.
The task was only for 12 hours (6 hours of reaching + 6 hours of returning). Then, 60 hours had passed. The Vice-Chairman ordered the scientists to track the astronaut.
First, They tracked the spaceship to find it and overview its condition. Successfully, they did that. The spaceship was found.
They felt disappointed to see that some parts of the spaceship had been damaged. Moreover, the astronaut wasn't present inside. They kept on researching to find if he was dead or alive to deliver accurate information.
Finally, they shared the research result.
"We're so sorry to tell our whole nation that the astronauts have died. It was impossible to clarify what actually happened. However, our observation says that the spaceship got damaged due to the machine's extra weight as it wasn't designed for that purpose. The damaged spaceship was challenging to be handled. That was why astronauts died in space. We can't even get his dead body back".
Just after that news, chaos spread throughout the whole country. The astronaut's death wasn't a problem if all people agreed to the Vice chairman's decision.
People against the Vice-Chairman were patiently unresponsive because the government left everything on him. But they didn't keep silent after listening to the death news of the innocent astronaut.
When the Vice-Chairman was on the way to reach his house, people threw rotten eggs on him to humiliate him as much as they could. Due to constantly facing many issues, people have now gotten out of control. They were afraid of nothing. They were openly spreading chaos everywhere.
That hash reaction was also due to the previous incident of Quinn's fake death. People were angry about how innocent people were tortured in that country.
The government tried much to convince people that there was not any fault of the Vice-Chairman. That was his decision, not order. The selected astronaut went to Mars upon his own wish. He was not forced.
Some people persuaded others for more opposition by saying that the government was also involved in that matter, which was why it was trying to close that matter.
So, finally, the government took action to calm down people and get some peace in the country. It got the Vice-Chairman out of his status. Moreover, it was reported that he could be sent to jail if anything that went against him would be found.
He was clearly told that everything regarding that matter would be up to him, like if the machine came back, he would have to deal with it on his own.
On Mars, the advisor waited too long, but the time machine didn't arrive. So, he disappointedly returned to the palace.
When all the Aliens were having a sound sleep late at night, the considerably loud voice came with a large vibration. All the people there got scared. The king instantly called the advisor in his room to discuss the matter.
"What's going on in my palace? I saw the unknown spaceship entering my room. I accepted that it could be from Jupiter's people. But now the threatening voice. That kind of thing has never happened in my life. Now, we Aliens, super technologies, and power owners will be threatened by such a weak Jupiter species".
The advisor became pleased to see the king helpless. He said: "My dear king, why do you worry when I'm with you. But before taking any action, we should determine the voice cause".
The king allowed him to do so. Then, he went to his lab and checked out different secret cameras he had fixed close to where the time machine would have to be reached.
While checking, he saw in one video that an unknown flying machine was going down below. He instantly went there to take control before any other Aliens reached there.
Out of his expectations, he was afraid to see the time machine. Even being a talented scientist and advisor, he couldn't identify what that was.
Due to being collided with the damaged spaceship, the fuel inside was burning. It had become extremely hot that it could even burn any human hand who just touched it.
Fortunately, the advisor determined its hotness due to the smoke moving upward. Unfortunately, he couldn't decide how to take that machine to his lab.
