Emily wakes up in her bed, laying on her side. Lena is sitting on the
floor in front of her, leaning against the window, with her arms over
her knees and her head resting on them. She looks very pale. A few
thoughts flash through Emily's mind in quick succession:

Emily moves into a more comfortable position. Lena
zuckt zusammen and lifts her head, looking
disoriented for a moment.
She says in a weak voice: So you will
live.
Emily sits up.
How long has it been?
About three days.
Have you slept at all?
Here and there a bit.
You need to sleep.
Funny you should say that... I couldn't
sleep because I was worried about you little devil.
They get up and walk down the hallway towards the main control center.
While you were unconscious, I managed to get
in touch with someone on Earth. Well, they really got in touch with me.
