Down below Ully was the first to notice that the others had come back. "Mom look!" He pointed at the hill.

Devon went to his side and saw Bess and Solace approaching. "Solace!" She called and waved. He went to her. When he reached her she looked behind him at Danzinger and Heller. "A survivor?"

He nodded, "She's in pretty bad shape. There were sixty four people on that ship and she was the pilot. She's the only one. We took all we could carry out of the cargo but if I can get another group together I want to go get the rest."

Devon nodded, "So what do you know about the survivor?"

He followed her gaze and watched Danzinger and Heller help the woman down the hill. "Not much. She's a pilot, had a cousin who died, broken ankle and when we found her she had a giant piece of shrapnel sticking out of her side. Heller says infection set in and its spreading quick."

He began to walk to the food tent. "Is she going to make it?" Devon called after him. He shrugged.

She stood by Ully and everyone watched as Danzinger and Heller carried the survivor through the camp. Instantly there were murmurs of suspicion about this new stranger they were taking in. After Gaal no one trusted this woman and they didn't even know her name. Devon went to talk to Danzinger and the new comer. She followed the three to Heller's medical tent and watched them laid the woman on a cot before the doctor quickly looked for the things she needed.

She turned to Danzinger and True. "I'll need to quarantine her until the infection clears."

Danzinger nodded and True looked scared. "Will she get better?"

"I don't know True," Heller said solemnly. "The infection is really bad."

From her cot Janet laughed, "Ha! Come on kid have some faith in me. I am a Saint after all, and a little faith goes a long way." She suddenly welcomed the cot and pillow and closed her eyes while Heller went to work cleaning her wound.

Danzinger ushered True out and Devon pulled him to the side. "So who is she?"

"Her name is Janet Saint. Sole survivor out of a group of sixty four, one of the dead was her co-pilot and cousin. There were three kids on board and she blames herself for the crash and everyone dying."

"Well no wonder, sixty three people is a lot of blood on your hands." Devon said.

"There's something else too," John said. He looked left and right, "She says they were coming to join us at New Pacifica."

"But why would they leave so early? We've only been here a couple months, no one was supposed to arrive for another fifteen months."

"She says that the stations found out about the Council's plan to blow up the ship. Apparently a group of people came to her and they just left." He looked over at True and saw her peeking in through the tent flap. "True get away from there." True looked at him and then ran off, he watched her and then turned his attention back to Devon.

She shook her head, "Can we trust her Danzinger? After Gaal no one trusts anyone new here. I haven't even spoken to her and I don't trust her."

"She comes off as a little stiff and rude but that's because she's alone and trying to survive on her own. She saved True, Devon. Yesterday when it rained we were caught in a mud slide and True was swept away. Janet didn't want to go with us after Heller fixed her up and thank God she didn't or else she never would've gotten to True when she did. I see True look to Janet more than anyone she's ever met before."

"That's how it happened with Gaal," Devon said. She sighed in thought and crossed her arms. "I'm going to let her stay because she's injured and I trust your judgment." The woman looked at him seriously. "But if she does one thing to hurt this colony I'll trust you to also do something about it."

Danzinger nodded. "She's different from Gaal. She was bringing us more colonist, Gaal was a convict."

Devon nodded and then walked away and in her place Morgan appeared followed by Bess. She told him about a survivor and he instantly went off.

He rushed over to John, "Are you crazy? Don't you remember the last time we brought a stranger back? Does the name Gaal ring a bell? How he tried to kidnap your daughter!"

"Hey I know what I'm doing ok?" John said heatedly.

Morgan eyed the medical tent. "If she does anything to threaten this colony I'm blaming you!" He stormed off after venting to Danzinger.

Bess watched her husband storm off and then turned to John, "I'm sorry. I knew he'd be upset but I didn't think he'd go off like that."

John waved it off, "He'll get to know her. They all will."

Before walking away Bess asked him one question, "Do you trust her around True?"

He looked at his hands and then at the tent, lastly looking back at Bess. "She's a stranger but she saved my daughter. I owe her and the least I can do is give her a chance at life."

The woman nodded, "I'm sorry about Morgan." Afterwards she walked away.
