Maz gripped his luggage and peered through the rounded entrance. Then he stepped onto the disk. Nessa scooted to the deck. Scion, then Skyla, then Eklun, then Elektra stood on the disk. Elektra manipulated her implant, and the disk powered up. Earth faded into the distance as the ground shrank.

“We’ll show you the storage room.

“I’ll take you,” Skyla said, already starting for the door.

Nessa scampered after her.

“After we get the nourishment packets, we’ll all rendezvous in the control center.”
