It's the morning of your first lift-off, perhaps it's too early to call it morning, it's still pretty dark out. As is traditional, you've been camped out under the stars right next to the launch tower. But as you wakeup, you see something you've never seen before. The ancient Nomai space station in orbit of Giant's Deep lit up bright blue and then it exploded. Nobody was ever able to get inside it when it was intact, maybe now you can get into one of the pieces. If only you didn't need to get the codes from Hornfels at the observatory before you could lift off.

There is a rush of blue light coming over the horizon and then Heli feels no sensation from his body while his memories since waking up replay.

He is suddenly up, startled and looking at his surroundings like he expecting them to catch on fire.

Heli looks up at where the station was. The sight is not comforting.
"Yeah, it, it must have been it."
"I know it’s tradition to sleep out under the stars the night before a launch, but if you ask me it makes you all a bit jumpy.”

"It was actually pretty good, for the most of it... It's probably just regular trepidation." He avoids looking up. "We should go, uh, thank you, Slate. For everything."
Things are exactly as they were in Heli's 'nightmare' Mica is standing near their model ship by the path to the observatory.
Their response to Gabe's identical question is also identical.
“Hey, it's you! Slate said you're blasting off in your ship today. I'm really excited to see the launch! Aren't you gonna go into space? Aren't you? You better not have changed your mind!”
