I heard in silence what Flora was talking with Eduard and Michaella.
"So? Flora asked. "Will you try to explain to me what happened to humanity since you all left?" asked Flora. "I could also give you a brief explanation of what happened on Earth, and what happened to the very last humans that remained like me."
"We would love to know…" said Michaela. "And what happened to humanity is… well, something that has span for hundreds of thousands of years by now."
"However, we could give you a brief resume," said Eduard. "Once our ancestors departed from Earth, there was the Great Era of Exploration, where humanity divided into twelve different colonies that explored each a part of the Universe."
"Twelve?!" asked Flora.
