Monica crossed her arms and set her heels. “No fucking way.”
Ellie gesticulated but did lose her shit. “If Jordan is right, we are in the middle of a war.”
“If he’s right.”
“I’m right,” said Jordan.
“We don’t know that. We lost contact–”
“We lost contact because they fired nukes. Again.”
Monica shook her head and sat down. “It’s impossible.”
“No,” said Jordan, “we know the language now.”
Ellie added, “And we know there are others. We can do this.”
“To what end?” asked Monica.
Ellie knelt and grasped Monica’s hands. “Our destiny. We were meant to do this.”
