Following the meeting, the UK group boarded their intimidating cardboard-windowed bus and went straight back to their hotel. Their work was far from over, though. When they arrived in the lobby, they summarized the joint meeting. Afterward, they discussed the next day’s plans over dinner in the cafeteria, leaving the details to each supervisor. Day one of the meetings had passed, but there were still another two weeks to look forward to.

Once they were finally free, the team’s Zirnitran guide informed them that they were allowed to explore Kosmos as long as they avoided restricted areas. Most of the Arnackians opted to stay in their rooms; everyone knew they’d have a Delivery Crew agent for company no matter where they went.

Bart wasn’t sure what to do at first. He was uncomfortable in the hotel, where watchful eyes and ears awaited. It was suffocating, and he’d been stuck indoors for so long that he was desperate for fresh air. He invited Kaye to go for a walk.

“Sure! I was just thinking I’d do the same thing.” She wasn’t a fan of the hotel-penitentiary experience either.

The air outside was crisp, and Kosmos had breathtaking scenery. A forest surrounded the city, and stars sparkled in the clear navy evening sky.

“It’s s-so…so c-cold,” Bart muttered, voice trembling.

He’d known the UZSR was frigid, so he’d brought cold-weather clothing, but the freezing wind seemed to cut through it entirely. After just three minutes in the open air, he already felt chilled to the core. Kaye breathed on her gloved hands to warm them. On top of that, sections of the road were frozen, and Bart was terrified he’d slip and fall if he didn’t watch his step. He also couldn’t believe he was really walking around a foreign country with Kaye at his side.

Kaye released a deep breath and faced him. “I’m glad there was less conflict than I expected at the meeting. It really seems like we’ll make this work.”

“The way you cut down that guy gunning for autopilot scared the crap out of me,” Bart mumbled.

She laughed. “I just didn’t think he’d get it if I danced around the point.”

“Makes sense. Handling the Zirnitrans with kid gloves won’t get us closer to what we want either…and it’s not like we have the luxury of time.”

Bart suddenly felt like they were being watched. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw a Delivery Crew agent walking a set distance from them. He found himself concerned about the guy, although he didn’t need to be; he wondered whether the agents struggled to keep up twenty-four-hour surveillance.

Kaye noticed the agent too and giggled. “When you outlined the HGC’s capabilities, the Zirnitrans were all taking notes so diligently. I think they’ll come to grips with the tech very quickly. I mean, if I were Zirnitran, it’d drive me crazy that my rivals had equipment I couldn’t figure out. I’d set my sights on under­standing it ASAP.” Her finger drew an arc from the horizon to the stars above. “Once we map the stars, computers will help us guide a craft to the lunar surface.
