Chapter 53

Maz brought the ship to a landing in a stretch of runway behind the Dome.

“How long is this thing?” Elektra wondered aloud.

“Thousands of long-measures wide,” Maz said. “Thousands of wide-measures too.”

“It will fit the ship?” Skyla asked.

“There will be room and then some,” Nessa assured her. “I’ll have Kommer unload my ship later.”

Kommer paced the ground in front of the dome. Nessa and her friends came in from the runway.

“You can unload your ship whenever you’re ready,” she said.

“Good to know,” he replied. “Now, if you’ll follow me, we can get you to the call center.”

Down a tiled hallway, Nessa strained to make her eyes adjust to the darkness. They stopped at seven round chambers.

“Get inside,” Kommer instructed. “I’ll activate all the teleports from my implant.”
