The trials they face
Time cannot erase
They never leave their sullen base
In hopes that they should remain safe
From the dangers that threaten their very existence
In a nightmarish reality they remain strong
But stay a good distance
From the thriving throng
Of aliens and creatures unknown
And things that no one had shown to them
All the horrors that took many a life
And stabbed many a heart with a sharp knife
"Why are we here?" someone asks, but they cannot see
That Koenig sighs behind an unreadable mask
He too wishes he could be home
With friends and family
How far have they flown?
God only knows
Forever are they stuck
On their "temporary" home
Their beloved moon in tow
Victor is smart and wise
Helena is strong and kind
Koenig is commanding and brave
Sandra is shy and naïve
Carter is loyal and fearless
Paul is intent and all ears
Tony is serious and funny
Maya, well I guess she's his honey
Reilly is all bark, no bite
Shermeen is willing and might
All the rest?
Time will put them to the test
But for now, they're lost
But someday soon
At possibly a cost
They will get off their beloved moon.
