The people from the other spaceships were all brought to the same place. To welcome them, the United Nations had set up an embassy hall at Country R. Xinghe and the rest were brought to the hall to rest and to report on their mission.
However, the leaders at the embassy hall did not usher them into business immediately but had them attend a grand dinner to welcome them back home. George was afraid Xinghe's group thought they were being dismissed, so he quickly explained, "This is not the actual celebratory dinner. The superiors have said, the contribution from every one of you is immeasurably big, and there will be a bigger dinner later."
Xinghe shook her head. "That will not be necessary, but thank you for this dinner. What's on the menu?"
"All sorts of food that you can imagine. We have prepared a menu for every table."
