Not sure how many were effected exactly, but it was enough to be noticed. [ Even if Elena hadn't been gone, the pod and locker area had been much emptier. ] Maybe it was some kind of fluke.

I mean, we did end up stopped in the middle of some crazy space cloud, maybe that's why. [ It's all speculation on her part, though, and she shrugs. ] Anyway, you're here now and that's all that matters! I keep expecting more people we know to show up sometime, but so far no luck.

[ When they reach the lifts, she peers at Elena. ]

Did you, like, dream or anything?
