From the beginning of the mission, Hessiana had been a lost ball in high weeds, following the team around wherever they went. It knocked her socks off when she saw the spaceship, and it was not until she went aboard the flight deck that she began to come to grips with reality. The spacecraft was as real as it got when she saw it with her own eyes and touched it with her own hands. No one on Earth could have built such a high-tech spacecraft at that point yet, she figured.
"It's all true..." Hessiana looked around the flight deck but she did not dare touch anything for fear that she would accidentally spoil things and Hao Ren would jump on her. She still saw Hao Ren in a bad light; that had never changed. "Where did you get this thing from?"
"There are vampires and werewolves on Earth, what's so surprising about extraterrestrial technology?" Hao Ren replied casually. "It's common sense that alien technology's more realistic than fantasy."
