He Saved Us All

They stood at the ocean bank hopefully awaiting the arrival of Judas and Anadon.

It had been minutes and not a figure of either had been in sight. The three were starting to get worried.

"Altu! Run back to the village now and tell the elders about what is happening!!". Agetha voiced as she yelled loudly at him.

"But sister!". Altu called, hesitant!.

The distance from the ocean bay back to the habitat is not a small journey of thirty minutes or even an hour.

It takes longer than that, and that is just the going part. Think about the coming as well. What is to say that Altu no matter how fast he is can make it in time?...

It would take too much time for those procedures, time that they do not have.

It has been minutes by Earth's time standard and yet Judas and Anadon are yet to be seen. They are underwater where the air supply is limited, probably not even up to the minutes they have been long gone for.
