Time flew by without anyone really noticing. While the memories of the new year party for Year 012 was still fresh in everyone’s minds, the Hope was already prepared to host Year 013’s new year party. In the blink of an eye, the Hope had been away from Earth for thirteen years.
During the new year party, like usual, there were speeches by the leaders. Of course, the focus of the speeches was not empty praises but the conclusion of the past year and hopes for the new year. Every leader’s speech was factual and came with a studied set of information. Therefore, they couldn’t lie. The information was also available online, so they didn’t dare lie lest they got found out.
After the speeches, it was performances put on by the Hope’s talents and then the buffet dinner. The atmosphere of the night was relaxing and happy.
