They were aware that their time was running out. Their resources will run out, and their hope will perish with them. Grace and Sarah had a terrible idea of returning to earth, but the majority of the crew and their ally humanoids don’t want to because of the consequences of stealing the ship and for being a traitor. Sarah is going through the ship's alleyway, pondering their future condition in light of the difficulties they are currently experiencing. Sarah loses hope and faints as her tears fall forth without warning. Grace noticed Sarah on the ground as she walked down the alley. Grace dashes over to Sarah and assists her in relaxing. Grace is told by Sarah that they will not be able to survive in this condition. "Please be strong, Sarah, be strong for your family, be strong for your friends, and be strong for mankind down on Earth," Grace says. And Sarah adds, "How can we be strong if we are running out of our needs huh?" and Grace concerns, "But, but, you’re correct, but Sarah there are a lot of things or ways that we can be strong." There is a God, and I am confident that he can hear us and assist us in defeating the terrible guys on Earth “...

Sarah is reassured by Grace's words. "Grace, you are correct; there is a God who always hears our prayers. Sarah and Grace keep doing what they're doing, which is "seeking a cure. “The humanoids on Earth were aware that one of their ships had been stolen by an unknown entity. They are planning counter-attacks now that they know where they are. The crew will not be able to return to Earth easily. Grace and Sarah are brainstorming methods to use the remaining resources more efficiently. Water, food, and power on their ship, as well as other laboratory requirements, are now limited. For the sake of humanity, they must discover a means to endure. Everyone is exhausted. The staff are antsy, hungry, and ill at the workstation. "How can we work on finding a cure if we are unwell," the crew says. Everyone seems to have lost hope and given up all of their sacrifices. While Sarah and Grace are at their posts, members of the crew and humanoids rush in to inform them "Please assist me! Our crew passes out since they are ill and fatigued “... Sarah and Grace rush through their crew, noticing that everyone is depressed and crying. They quickly come up with remedies, but nothing seems to work to cure them. The two humanoids did not hesitate to assist the sick crew, and the sick crew began to recover, but they were unaware that the two humanoids were becoming weaker as well. Sarah, Grace, and the rest of the crew embraced the two. The humanoids had no idea what they were doing until they realized it was their way of saying thank you, and they greeted them with a smile. Thank you very much for the ally humanoids. Everyone is now relaxing as a result of the circumstance. Sarah is in her resting place, looking out her window at the earth, and she has a lot of questions. "Seeing earth here is such a peaceful location, but beneath that peaceful area is destruction and disaster for families, things, environment, animals, and other living species that benefit the planet's habitat," Sarah explains. I miss my family as well as a close friend. She recalls her family and all of my acquaintances. She remembers her family go on fishing; they are so much happy like no one else does. She remembers also when they go on dinner with their cousins and friends drink alcohol and talk too much about their lives and enjoy their dinner together. She never noticed that she is smiling. Remembering all my memories makes me stronger. She recalls having a film of her family prior to the arrival of the humanoids. And she enjoys playing and watching it because it warms her heart and soothes her mind. Being in this circumstance strengthened me.

I will stand firm not only for myself, but also for everyone who has placed their faith in me and us. And Sarah puts on some music, puts on her earbuds, and listens till she falls asleep. Sarah is startled awake after 4 hours of sleep by the ship's ringing. She rushed out of his sleeping area, believing that their ship was under attack, but when the crew checked it, they discovered that there had been a power outage. They were well aware that their power supply had reached its limit. They turned off all of the ship's non-essential electrical devices in order to reduce the ship's electricity consumption. The laboratory is the only one that uses the ship's power source and engine. Sarah visits the laboratory to inquire about the status of the cure they are working on. “It’s not simple to develop a cure when we're short on resources," says one of the laboratory's scientists. Sarah appears unhappy and upset as a result of what he has said. Instead of being unhappy, she says, "Don't worry, he'll hear us." Sarah denotes that God is aware of our existence.

Due to a difficult scenario, a family was formed.

Every event should consider everyone of us as a member of the same family. Remember that even though we aren't related by blood, we should always treat each other as if we were. However, when it comes to people's daily lives, even if it's your own family, if you make a wrong mistake in life, your family will not treat you like their own. Love, trust, and care will begin with us in order for children to develop those specific behaviors.

The humanoids, the crew, Sarah, and Grace, all aboard the ship, are eager to find a solution for mankind on Earth. They're all taken aback by the two humanoids who care about the people. Those two humanoids have a pleasant attitude and are warm-hearted. The humanoids assist the crew in maneuvering the ship and resolving any mistakes or technical issues that arise. Not all humanoids are evil, and these two are shining examples of optimism. Humanoid technologies are amazing, yet they have limitations. Humanoids are the same way. Inside the spacecraft, they're all assisting one another, humanoids to humans and humans to humans. Their main issue is working overtime and putting their lives in danger, but their new adversary is themselves. Grace and Sarah collect the staff and the humanoids in their work stations. They talk about their current circumstances. So, let's get started!

"First and foremost, I'd like to thank you all for your unwavering commitment to humanity; I salute you all. Now, let me tell you something; we're stuck on this sinking ship, but the good news is that we're getting closer to our objective," Sarah adds. Everyone is aware of what Sarah said, but what she said about being trapped on a sinking ship has everyone concerned. "We don't have to die without battling for mankind!" Grace says. In these trying times, we should lend a hand to one another. We are a family assembled here by God with a mission in life to survive and help our friends down below that there is still hope for humanity. The humanoids holding Sarah's and Grace's hands represent unity, family, and freedom. Everyone is now holding hands and hugging each other, providing comfort in these trying times. They all know that their sacrifice will be fruitful, despite the difficulties they face. During these trying times, families are shaped by their determination to work together to achieve the freedom that each race craves. The humanoids have become attached to the humans' affection, and they have been amazed by what they have accomplished. They have realized that being a part of a family is not defined by blood, but by a shared purpose in life.

Every issue they encountered made them stronger by allowing them to lean on one another. The humanoids had never expected anything like this to happen in their entire lives. Back on Earth, the humanoids are preparing for an attack once they know where the stolen ship is. Their captain is furious at what the humans and their allies have done to them. The captain has given orders to track down the stolen spacecraft, and once they know where it is, they will bombard it with heavy artillery, missiles, and heavy gunners in order to destroy it. Humanoids spaceships are equipped with powerful missiles and gunners capable of eliminating everything in a single strike, as well as cutting-edge technology and powerful artillery. The captain humanoid was aware that there were two traitors in their species aboard the stolen ship, and he was enraged, ashamed, and disappointed by what they had done, so he ordered the ship to track them down.

If you find yourself in a terrible circumstance, remember to thank everyone who cares about you. It doesn't matter how simple or difficult your life's hurdles are if you desire to survive them. You should push yourself to your limits, and in the end, you will be grateful for yourself for getting through or overcoming those difficult situations. It's just a part of life. You must face all of the problems that God has given you in order to grow and be strong enough in life. Just remember to be thankful for every little thing that happens to you.

Your only hope of surviving is to be well-trained for the task you've been assigned. It is much easier to keep the balance of life in our daily activities in order for us to live.You simply must go with the flow of life and remember not to drag everyone down to be a part of them; instead, help each other as if they were your own family, who is always there when you need them the most, and especially be united as one in order for you and everyone to fit into the society and environment to which you move. Sarah and Grace, who is an expert in space, keep their resources to a minimum in order to survive long enough to provide the cure. It is not just their chance to survive, but also the entire race's chance to survive. They are all aware that their lives are on the line, so they must be cautious and aware of their actions. Grace approaches Sarah and says, "Hey Sarah, I have a question for you!" while everyone is busy. "What is it?" Sarah responds. "What is your greatest fear?" Grace inquired. "I wanted to sort things out first," Sarah says, looking down. Grace adds, "Me!" My greatest fear is losing someone I care about. If my loved ones perish while in my care, I will not forgive myself. That is why I have come here looking for a cure. Sarah, with teary eyes, faces grace "Do you think we'll be able to make it?

Do you believe we'll be able to return to our families? All I wanted to do was create things that made me happy, but look at me now. I'm not sure what I'm doing or where I'm going. I'm lost, but I'm still battling; I'm frightened, but I'm determined to make things better “. Sarah, with a sad expression on her face, says "I don't have the courage to make things better right now. I'm at a loss on what to do. Now I can respond to your query. My greatest fear is of myself. I don't want to upset myself by continuing to fail. I was a failure and a disappointment on Earth, and I am a failure here as well. I'm at a loss on what to do “... They hugged each other, and Sarah wept together with grace. Accepting that they would die on the ship was akin to accepting their fate. They're scared they won't be able to help the people on Earth any longer. They are betraying the faith placed in them by the humans of Earth. Their hope is dwindling, and their odds of surviving and assisting those on the ground are little to none. We tried everything we could, but we still ended up in this situation. We fail them, and we fail all individuals on this planet. "I only wanted to finish what I had started and move on to the next part of our generation, but here we are, slowly drowning in a sinking ship. Is this the end of our connection? Is this the end of our adventure?

I am unable to pass through. However, I cannot afford to lose them “... Grace remarked. As a result, they've decided to gather everyone, including the humans. "Everyone, we've reached our limit." We fall short. I regret to inform you of this." Grace says it like it is. Grace is wailing and crying on her knees. "I had no idea what hope meant until now." I'm exhausted, and I'm sure you're all exhausted and restless as well. We're all in a tizzy. How can we move on in our efforts to find a cure when we are restless and our hearts yearn for the love of our families? I yearned to visit my family once more. I wanted you to take them in your arms, hug them, and kiss them. And I know how you feel and how much you desire this. "I don't want to perish in space." Everyone is now crying because they have accepted their faith.  Humanoids appear distressed and sorrowful, and their sympathy for humans deepens. They recognize their willingness to survive now, but surviving in their current condition is challenging. They don't have any of the resources they're using right now. Who will come to their aid? Who will take away their suffering? They accept their fate, knowing that no one will come to their aid. They're giving up right now. Nothing is possible without assistance. Their resources have been depleted to the point of exhaustion. The prospect of humanoids discovering their ship is also a worry.

Their willingness to assist those on the ground vanishes along with their trust in God. Sarah and Grace are currently having difficulties dealing with their own worries. The ship's crew is exhausted and ill. Their only hope is for the ally humanoids to come up with a solution. But how are they going to accomplish it? What are the ramifications? Will it be noteworthy? We already know that ally humanoids are linked to humans. Having a human's affection gained them sympathy. Will it, however, change Sarah's, Grace's, and the crews' fortunes? They'll see how tough they are in a difficult scenario. The issues they face put them to the test. They are entrapped in the spacecraft and are rapidly depleting its resources.

What will they do now?
