 Galaxy class starships are enormous, so it said something powerful about John Carter's state of mind that he didn't even see the shadow of the large ship that loomed over the red soil of Garsol, to say nothing of the actual vessel itself, until he was nearly at the edge of what had become the chief settlement's border. As he brought his eyes forward, pulling himself out of a tight left bank, he saw the vast shadow that the Starfleet vessel cast. Instinctively, he looked up and gasped when he saw the hull of a starship that was far lower in the atmosphere than it had any right to be. Almost instantly he smiled. “All RIGHT, Vic!” He said aloud against the wind, though no one would hear it. Then, he felt troubled, and his mind began to race as he reflexively completed a few more maneuvers. He'd sent the message in a vain hope of making contact with the Beta Quadrant, where he'd been declared 'Missing: Presumed Dead' nearly two years ago. In truth, it never occurred to John Carter that the message would actually get to his 'comprades', no matter how much they may have been looking for him. He'd long since given up hope of rescue, and resigned himself to life among the people of Garsol who saw him as a literal Godsend. Now, however, he realized that the life he'd finally managed to put behind him had come calling with a vengeance. “Grozit.” He cursed under his breath. Galaxy class starships are enormous, so it said something powerful about John Carter's state of mind that he didn't even see the shadow of the large ship that loomed over the red soil of Garsol, to say nothing of the actual vessel itself, until he was nearly at the edge of what had become the chief settlement's border.
