Once again, for the third time, he thought it was over, that humanity, but most importantly Ellie, was safe. Isaac was certain that he'd be killed in some way or another at the end of his snow-filled journey, with Carver almost certainly sharing the same fate. But they weren't. They lived to see another day, which was more surprising for Carver than it had been for Isaac given his history.
When they finally regained a grip on their consciousness, surroundings and got their asses off Tau Volantis, they'd boarded the Terra Nova in hopes of using it to get back to Earth, where Isaac feared for Ellie's life. If she was dead, it would be certain Isaac would give up entirely, Nicole's death had already been more than enough pain to endure. Nothing that Carver or anybody else could say would dull the pain. "Ellie!" Isaac muttered to himself barely awake as Carver shook him out of his involuntary sleep. "Come on Clarke get up already. Don't fall apart on me." Those words were uttered to Isaac before back on Tau Volantis, when Ellie had apparently been killed by some kind of gas that had already incinerated two Unitologists.
The last thing Isaac remembered was approaching Earth with Carver, trying to establish contact with anyone available. But not one person responded, instead all they had heard was barely coherent noises of obviously alien origin. Despite this, the message was clear: the Brother Moons were here.
"God damn it Ellie please be alright..." Isaac said to himself as he put his hand on the window, with Carver listening. "Jesus Clarke, you better hope those fuckers don't get smart, 'cause if they find out what's fueling you to fight them, you're screwed man." "Well what the fuck else am I supposed to do? What are WE supposed to do Carver?" "Look I don't know man, Christ... I guess we land, help who we can. Probably in vain though." Isaac tried desperately to contact Ellie's RIG, to no avail. Looking at the Brother Moon, Isaac came up with another 'bad idea' as Ellie would call it. "We're gonna go to them. I think they want me Carver." Carver sighed somewhat angrily, as it seemed to him that Isaac was losing his mind once again.
Ellie looked up at the sky, the colour of it a dark, orangey red. 'This is it..'
