`` No.'' 
 
 `` Sir? Is anything wrong?'' 
 
 `` NO, NO NO NO, FUCKING SHIT NO!'' 
 
 `` Theodore, please calm down; you're scaring the children.'' 
 
 I stared at my backlit computer monitor. No signs of life anywhere, this has been the 84th we've seen without any life, and I hated that with a burning passion. 
 
 `` Theodore, if you say what is wrong, we may be able to help.'' 
 
 I put my head on my small section of desk. I can feel a tear. 
 
 I ca n't believe it. 
 
 `` Theodore, please-'' 
 
 `` The mission is a failure,'' I rudely blurted out. 
 
 All of my crews faces lit up, some of them even reluctantly standing and walking to my screen. 
 
 Samuel tried to cheer us up, `` But sir, it is only the 84th! The 85th should have promising results!'' 
 
 I did n't believe that for a second. None of the crew did either, and Samuel's smile faded away for the first time I've ever seen. 
 
 `` The work day is over,'' I said 
 
 A new recruit looked at a clock, what was her name, Cheryl? Carol? Carina?

 Captain's Log: April 1st, 2167 
 
 How is it back home? Is the United Commonwealths of America still standing? I wonder these things everyday. Today there was no progress, like all other days aboard this godforsaken ship. No readings from any planet. It's April 1st, are all the potential extra terrestrial life just playing a big prank? I'm fearful, not of alien contact, but of isolation in this big, big universe. 
 
 We are alone. 
 
 We are completely isolated. 
 
 There is nothing but pain and suffering beyond this point. 
 
 Kill me.
