35
Ten years had passed. Coppélia was fully charged and still in good condition, except for her left arm and right eye which had been damaged by a solar flare hundreds of days before
Suddenly, she felt an urge to look up at the sky. With her good left eye, she was able to make out a distant light that appeared to be getting larger by the second. Glad that the solar flare hadn’t completely fried her ocular equipment, she zoomed in on the light as it travelled through the sky. Her extended vision was good but it did have its limitations and she still couldn’t properly make out what it was. But she knew that it wasn’t a meteorite or asteroid.
She had been on Proxima b for 35,947 Earth days or 98 years 5 months and 1 day. She had been trapped on Proxima b for 3,209.55 orbits of its own sun
