<Emily First Contact>

Outline:

Emily walks to the main control center
- it has also been used as a general hang-out spot bc it has a rather nice view of the biotope and the sky
Emily and Lena sit down at a table with a view of the biotope and have a meal
- the meal gets interrupted by the equipment in the control center coming to life
  - a status light on the wall, that Emily had never seen on, lights up (could be something like "LINK")
  - short dialog, could be something like this: "That's them." "Earth people?" Lena nods and gets up.
Lena tells Emily to follow
- They walk over to a control panel with an embedded terminal
- Communication with Earth ensues
  - bittersweet dialog
    - Emily is conscious again
    - Lena is going to die
    - They talk about what will become of Emily
      - Emily doesn't (yet) want to leave the moon - she's afraid of leaving her entire world behind
      - The decision is made that whatever preparations can be done, should be done, just in case

Emily closes the cage and puts the <whatever they feed the mice> back into the cupboard. She does something related to taking care of the mice, steps out into the hallway, and starts walking. The entire habitat is eerily quiet. Apart from her steps, just the hum of the electrical systems and the quiet whirr of the air circulation are audible.

3 – 5 – 2 – 1 – Enter. The keypad beeps with every button press. A computer voice announces Access authorized and the door slides up. She steps through into the main control center. The module contains one large room with rows of integrated computer equipment desks arranged need a fitting description of what a mission control rom looks like. The wall to the left that most of the seats are facing is completely taken up by a panorama window into the biotope, an even larger module with a ceiling of glass and support beams, completely filled with plant life, trees, small animals, and a big pond. The wall to the right holds a large status panel with some seven-segment displays for information and lots of big status indicator symbols.

Emily walks down the shallow stairs towards the panorama window. In front of the window are tables and chairs that were moved there recently as the room had become more of a general hangout spot for the remaining people when there still more than just Lena and her. Lena sits at one of them, cutting a bread into slices while waiting for her.

missing dialog about food and starting to eat

They get interrupted by all of the equipment in the room suddenly coming alive. All of the computer desks that weren't perviously active turn on. Some of the status indicators on the back wall start blinking. A large, green triangle with the letters LINK next to it flickers and then lights up. Emily looks at it in confusion.
What's going on?
That's them.
Earth people?
Yes, Lena replies while quickly finishing her meal, They have some abilities to remotely control things – including turning on the main radio transmitter.
She gets up and asks Emily to follow her to one of the consoles with a terminal. She sits down in front of it, logs on and enters a few commands.

corrupted chat, the connection has deteriorated in comparison to before
