The Passage of Time

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 10434

"However," the alien went on, "there is no guarantee that your friend will still be waiting for you. Considerable time has passed. When we intercepted the vessel that abducted you, it was several weeks' journey away from your planet." Stacy had forgotten for the moment that she had spent an unknown period of time in a cryosleep chamber. She would presumably have to spend more time in a similar chamber when returning to Earth on the ship that would be sent to reclaim the original vessel.

Then she thought of something else. "Even if Paula hasn't reported what happened, isn't it likely that the ship will have been discovered by now?" she asked. "Though the landing site was in a little visited spot, nowhere in Alabama is that little visited."

  1. "That may well be," the alien said, "which may make getting back on board undetected to reclaim it difficult."
  2. "If the automatic programming worked correctly, it should have implemented a stealth shield on landing."
