Kyra dove into her work, spending long hours learning the ship’s systems. She’d started to pick up an Olodian word here and there as well. Realizing the men around her all spoke English, even if it was a chore for them, Kyra asked the lead warrior to have his team speak their native tongue so she could learn. Hearing the language all day and forcing herself to stretch and grow to communicate with them gave her the perfect opportunity to focus on work and not on Tordin.

If she couldn’t have happiness of the heart, she’d become the best at her job. Kyra needed a win. She couldn’t lose everything she’d worked so hard for. She was determined to become the best here so they had no choice but to keep her or even elevate her to run a crew of her own. She’d find a way to get over not being around the commander by working harder and smarter. She’d pull her own weight and stop being a burden on him and his resources. She just had to learn their language, become strong enough to stay up for two days at a time and learn a whole new world of science, physics and technology—no big deal, right?

One thing was working for her, though—gaiata. Gaiata had become her best friend and personal salvation. If people on Earth had this stuff, drugs would become useless. She drank lots of it, luxuriated in it during her cleansing times and felt the elixir of life doing its magic as each Olodian-length day passed. The liquid was a miracle substance. She was no longer tired and dragging after what would be a typical workday—the equivalent of thirty-six hours in an Earth cycle. Instead, she flowed into a circadian body rhythm that mimicked that of the warriors.

Her sleep time was longer, at what she calculated to be ten to twelve Earth hours, but she felt refreshed when she woke. She reminded herself that her days were about twice as long, so her sleep needed to be, as well. Resting now meant allowing her body to repair and rejuvenate as the gaiata did its magic. She made sure to drink some before bed each night. With each passing day, she picked up more of the Olodians’ ways, what to do, how to live, and she did it faster.

After work she went to visit Phoebe, and Malm usually met her there. Although he was still the only one the healers allowed to touch Phoebe, she felt like her friend sensed and appreciated her presence, as well. And Phoebe looked well-rested and healed, perhaps almost ready to wake up—or that was Kyra’s hopeful assessment.

Malm remained his normal self and sat, quietly holding Phoebe’s hand as Kyra watched in awe and a little bit of sadness. She’d also noticed that Jalek had come by a few times when Malm was there but left quickly, not entering the room. Before leaving, though, he watched Phoebe move in response to Malm’s touch. Kyra was certain she saw hurt written across his face.
