When they land, James A. Corry runs to Captain Allenby, Adams and Carstairs. Adams starts complaining about how much time he is away from his family by doing supply drops for people like Corry. Corry tries to get Allenby to stay and play chess, but Allenby tells him they have to leave within 15 minutes. Adams mentions how Corry hasn't asked yet if he was pardoned and then quickly tells Corry that he wasn't even considered for pardon. Allenby tells Corry that things might change in the future and some people on Earth believe solitary confinement is too cruel. Corry tells Allenby that his sanity is slipping. Allenby sends Adams and Carstairs to get a large crate. Allenby tells Corry goodbye and Corry thanks Allenby. 11 months later, Allenby runs up to Corry and tells him that he has received a pardon and they have 20 minutes to leave. Corry mentions Alicia coming with him, which confuses Adams. Allenby tells Adams about Alicia and Allenby tells Corry that Alicia can't go. Corry runs to find Alicia and Allenby, Adams and Carstairs run after him. Corry finds Alicia and Allenby shoots her in the face to show Corry that Alicia is just a robot. Allenby tells Corry that all he is leaving behind is loneliness and Corry, Allenby, Adams and Carstairs leave the asteroid.
