She watches the two CDCs fly back towards the city. The lights from their aircar staying visible for a long time before distance and the curvature of the planet and landscape moves it beyond her sight. Once it's gone Annika starts calling people. One to care for her house and land, one to care for her aircar and do maintinance on her place and another to manage her funding. The last call was to her parents and siblings. She talked to them for several hours before signing off and fixes a late meal and heads to bed.<br/><br/>Rising before the sun rose, Annika moves around her house. Getting what she needs to take with her on the year long absence. Breakfast was a simple affair and she was finishing when the two who would be taking care of her place showed up. She shows them around, pointing things out and giving the details she has to. That takes several hours and the sun is still in the morning when they leave.<br/><br/>Annika puts on some sunscreen and contacts, her hat and gloves, and finishes planting the flowers from the day before. She  spends hours doing that, the rest of the day was spent arranging transport to the city, contacting CDC for the flight to Minotuar and preparing her dinner. A slsow roasted steak, marinated in spices and sauces.
