Yu played the video message that was the oldest of the seven messages that had just arrived.
Beep!
"Hi, Yu, I'm Hardy," said a 35-year-old man in the recording. "You remember me? Aah, sorry, we haven't met yet. I'm the one in charge of communications on your plane with us on Earth."
Yu just kept quiet. But at least he was quite happy because he could finally hear other human voices besides his own, even if it was only a video recording.
