[ Through all of its faults, being inside a broken space station gave them an odd sense of safety. There was no one to attack them while they slept. No possible way for another ship to reach Earth. The Ark was a silent satellite of what it used to be, orbiting around a planet they can't live on.

Everyone had found their thing to do, what they were good at. Murphy was still hoping at the time, he'd find something he was good at. Bellamy, a strong and silent leader. Raven, the engineering genius. Monty kept them alive, made edible algae (after the first batch threw Murphy into a month-long coma). He thought Echo wouldn't have much to offer. She's not on the ground now. But she did. She taught them all how to fight. Out of bitterness, Murphy never let her teach him. He always had Emori to lean on, both survivors kicked out from their homes. It was a shock to see her blossom out here in space, where he remained stagnant and sour.

At least she came back to him at night, that seemed to stamp out his fears of her leaving him. He'd wrap himself tight around her, scared she would wake up in the middle of the night to hang out with Raven. The jolt from Emori has Murphy stirring away. ]


What's going on, [ Murphy says, he sounds like he swallowed a frog. ]
