An hour later I’ve showered, changed, kissed Luke, and eaten the most delicious ham and cheese sandwich of my life. I’m back in my wheelchair/armor in the Enterprise briefing room, with a bottle of Coke in one hand and a laser pointer in the other. Behind me, the massive display shows the back side of the moon and the Th’un fleet hiding there.

“… as you can see. It’s a lot of ships and personnel. However, if I’m right, they weren’t expecting any Resistance and the drones they sent down were on a pre-programmed course. Which means they may not know the drones were destroyed.”

Everyone is here, and they were all excited to see me—especially Monica. I didn’t think her hug was ever going to end. I’m glad the belt I designed for her still works. I’m amazed at the difference in attitude since she got her body back. I mean, yeah, I get it. Being an elemental sucks… but she went from outright hostile to bubbly and pleasant.

Not that the rest of the team wasn’t happy to see me—just no extended hugs. Tony nearly tripped over himself when I introduced him to Augustina. To my surprise, she morphed again and now her features look distinctly Asian.

Tessa even cracked a smile when she saw me, which is saying a lot. She’s hanging in the back with Teddy; they seem to be getting along well, which I’m grateful for. Teddy is, among other things, a psychologist. If anyone can help her through the trauma she’s endured, it’s him.

Fleet raises his hand and I nod for him to go ahead. “How do they not know their drones failed? Aren’t they some super advanced alien race?”

“Ayyyy-leeee-ennnnn.” Augustina says from next to him. She’s watching his mouth as he speaks like she’s still trying to figure this whole ‘speaking’ thing out. Fleet smiles at her as she copies him. Kate shakes her head. It doesn’t take an empath to know what our resident speedster is thinking.

“You would be correct, but I have a theory. I don’t think they invented the technology they use. Their behavior strikes me as very scavenger-like. Maybe there are scientists and engineers on their planet, but the people here… they’re soldiers and warriors. Sure, they know how to use the stuff they’re issued, but not how it works. They’re parked behind the moon so we can’t see them, sending down drones in pre-programmed courses. The very thing that hides them from us, hides us from them. Radio signals don’t bend.”

Fleet shakes his head, a move Augustina mimics. It’s kind of weird to watch her attach to him so quickly. “How
