Waiting always made people nervous. It had been 24 hours since the AI drove the pilotless spaceship into the green light. Therefore, the operation was announced a failure because according to the AI command, it was supposed to return within 24 hours. The fact that it didn't meant that it had gone missing or was attacked.
"We received no information from the other end. All we have is still a piece of emptiness and the pilotless spaceship has completely disappeared."
In a lab somewhere on the Hope's fourth floor, the few people gathered there were despondent. They were the task force behind this operation. They had quite some confidence in this operation, but it had failed gloriously. For this group of people who wished to improve their standing in the Hope's world of science, this was truly a great setback.
