Sorry, sweetheart, I can't say I have much hope of that, an' I don't wanna go and get your hopes up. Unless one of them has this 'drive' that they were talkin' about on that video Mike and them found, my best hope is we might be able to get planet side with them.

It's a hell of a long way home, from here, even if we knew what direction to head in.

But - the ships might have a star map in 'em? So it ain't totally hopeless.
