He called out to his faithful automata, but there was no response.

"Even so, it is fortunate that the air is breathable. ......"
Jin thought it was fortunate that he had not been transferred to the vacuum of space, a scorching volcano, or an extremely cold land.

The gravity was almost 1 G. The temperature was a little cooler, but it was tolerable enough.
"But ......"
Looking around again, he could not understand what was going on.

The place where we were was a plain, or perhaps a plain, with a rough but generally level rocky terrain under our feet.
There are some unidentifiable trash-like objects lying around, and rocks here and there that look like meteorites or cosmic dust.
"Could this be the object I saw before?"

Jin guessed that the trash-like objects must be the waste that had disappeared from the relay station.
"Is the air pressure a little high? And it's pretty dry."
He could feel that the air was so dry that his throat and nose were burning.

"Well, I don't know what to do. ......"
Jin was surprised at how calm he felt. It was strange that he did not start panicking and screaming.

After standing there for a while but nothing changed, Jin decided to walk around a little.
"I don't hear any sound. ......"
All he could hear was his own breathing and footsteps. It is so quiet that he can almost hear a sound that is not a scene in the back of his ears.

Jin stopped walking around and returned to his original place.
If the space was going to be unstable, he thought, the most likely place would be the place where he had appeared.
And he knows that Ro-kun and Reiko will do whatever they can to find Jin if he has disappeared.

For now, Jin has no choice but to wait for them.
"You are a complete stranger."
Returning to his original location, Jin sits down on a rock, using it as a chair.

He looks up at the sky. The sky was gray and there was no sign of the sun or the moon.
"Come to think of it, there's no wind either.

They were an old, old race.
By nature, they were gentle and not prone to strife. Because their desires were modest, they had no history of war and their population growth was slow.

However, because of this, the development of culture and civilization was slow.
However, over a period of tens of thousands of years in the Earth's time, they reached the pinnacle of material civilization.
After reaching the top, they would normally just go down.

At last they succeeded in giving up their physical bodies and becoming only spiritual.
Since the mental body is powered by the sub-free element "ether", it does not starve and is able to live semi-permanently.
