Since they are unable to reach it, they dismiss it. In between sleeping after hard labor, Aloe tinkers with a harpoon-like cable to assist reaching the ship. After testing it out, she reveals it to her mother, and they agree to go for it later in the day.

During one of their labor days, Aloe runs into Ven, who's on the planet for resupplies. Despite her rude snarky responses he commends her spirit and drive.
