All was pretty much quiet on the first real day of Jericho's journey further into space. Everyone was grieving over the loss of their planet. But most importantly, their family and friends that they may very well never see again. The sense of loss made the mood of the ship quite depressing, and while Captain T'Challa had given a brief speech shortly after Sigmus's words, it still didn't hide the fact that the hope of the Goobies on board was rapidly decreasing.
While most Goobies were sulking, Neptune was working on a plan to keep up the hopes of the others. He had to find a way to spread some short of cheer along his species. Although, he didn't quite know how. At least for the first few minutes until he realized: Goobies liked to feel purposeful. Without a purpose, they felt like they were losing a large chunk of them. Which is the reason why they were losing hope so quickly. That's when Neptune first got his idea. The Gooby hopped to his feet and stood on his hind paws.
"Alright listen up!" Neptune said as he stood in front of the Goobies, looking like a fool more than anything. But he was improvising as of now. He didn't quite know how he was going to get his idea running, but he felt like the best thing to do now was just... talk. "I know you're all sad, which is completely understandable considering out great loss. But we must move on!" Little did he know, the Captain emerged from his chair along with the Co-Captain, Alucard, and the first member of the Council, Pandora. All of them were watching Neptune and how he approached the others on the ship. "We all had many lives. And therefore, we should bring those lives and form a community on this ship. We should combine all of our occupations and talents and come together here to become great as we search for a new home. We all have purpose. And we can find something to do on this ship." Neptune was confident as he spoke to the members, never faltering over his words. He firmly believed that if he gave the other Goobies a chance to speak about their past lives and who they were and still are, then everything would slowly start to become better on Jericho. As for now, he looked around and awaited for an answer. But no one stepped forward until Alucard, the Co-Captain stood next to him.
"Well, if anyone is interested, I was actually a pilot. I flew across Omicron-06 day and night. I didn't have a family to go home to, so I made it possible for other Goobies to travel to see theirs. Plus... flying? It makes you well... It makes you feel free." Alucard said with a smile. Next, T'Challa stepped forward, then Pandora. T'Challa introduced himself to be a member of the Gooby Military who also grew up alone until he was saved by a wonderful man. And Pandora stated that she was a scholar, studying politics just like her father. And one by one, Goobies started to get out of their shells. Tons of them were talking about their occupations back on Omicron, who their families were if they had one, and all of the good about their life.
Throughout the day, many stories were shared by each and every Gooby on Jericho. By the end of the first day, they had all felt better and felt even closer to one another. They all felt like they were a community and that this was something that they'd get over together. All they had to do was stick together. That sense of community that Neptune had started was something truly great, and at the end of the night, Neptune was thanked for all that he had done. Every story made a difference. And at the end of the first day, Neptune knew he had helped. Which is why the first day in space was so great.
