When Yao Yuan arrived at first floor, athered there It was incredibly crowded Guang Zhen’s teaes The fallen debris coupled with the trampled tents and broken appliances lent the place the look of a refugee camp

The faces of the many soldiers and citizens lit up with hope when they saw Yao Yuan Many who had been sitting languidly on the floor stood up involuntarily as they parted the way for Yao Yuan to pass through The black-star close guards moved to huddle behind Yao Yuan

Yao Yuan was suffused with an inexplicable feeling as he h the expectant crowd

(Is this what youthe Black Stars, now I have to lead the last reh space in search of a new home? This is one hell of responsibility… One that I’…)

Yao Yuan had re, his vow of silence slowly infected the people present, until finally, with the exception of the sounds of breathing and children crying, not a single word could be heard

Ying sidled up to his side to whisper in his ear when Yao Yuan reached the middle of the crowd Yao Yuan’s expression shifted te to normal Next, he ordered a few soldiers to construct a te Zhen led his teaed, but a lot had been said between the two e and scanned the ample-sized crowd The sea of people stretched beyond horizon Just for co the Chinese Olympics, the televised event featured a 90,000 sized crowd A crowd that size could barely fit in the TV screen, so you can i the crowd on the first floor was!

It was a sight to behold

Ebon cae to hand Yao Yuan a ling up the stairs with his prosthetic entlemen, no, my fellow survivors, you may or may not have seen me around the Hope, but I’m your captain, Yao Yuan

"In the year 2029, Earthout all that it has nurtured Our friends, faside Mother Earth, perished in that tragedy…

"But we’re still alive! We who are no longer separated by countries, race, or skin color ever since we stepped onto the Hope, because underneath it all, we are only human, fellow huedy not unlike the one we have faced on planet Sahara Without the protection of Mother Earth, we’re as fragile as hapless babies We’re unable to survive in space,we have been! With hope, with dreams of a new home, a better future, and survive we shall!"

Yao Yuan took a deep breath and yelled into the lad that the deputy captain told me that there was no record of misconduct when he escorted everyone up here In fact, there was barely any harsh jostling, so I’m very impressed! Even rocked by a sudden earthquake, everyone has ed to keep calm Not only that, but you even helped and supported each other, so good on you!

"On that note, please reedy Remember our hopes and dreaain, to feel the wind touch our skin… Reeneration, because we do it all for them so that they can wake up one day and take in not the cold, steel walls and empty space, but the sound of the sea and the war to sacrifice everything, even my life! I hope you would too!"

The crowd’s morale soared after Yao Yuan’s speech By the end, people were chanting Yao Yuan’s name in frenzied waves! Some butchered the unfamiliar Chinese pronunciation, but that only ht, people, please calm down" Yao Yuan waved for the crowd to quiet down

"Now, I need the men to step forth and follow your deputy captain to the second floor to retrieve the space-gear from the storeroom Remember to account for your families and take care of those who are unable to fend for thele; you ht run into soether!

"All the womenfolk please do look after your children Those that can afford to lend a hand, search and rescue the wounded Mend light wounds, but yell for military assistance if the injury is too serious
