Khan knew that moment would have eventually arrived, but being ready for it was a different matter altogether. He didn't expect the Niqols to find him so soon. They actually couldn't have come at a worse time.
For a second, Khan dared to hope the Niqols' ship was heading in his direction by chance, but the control desk immediately destroyed that feeling. The alien vessel was locked on him, studying his vehicle to follow its every movement.
"Tamara," Khan called. "Be a good girl and call Carlos for me."
Tamara didn't understand what was happening, but Liiza stood up before she could ask any questions, lifting her in the process. Liiza reassured the little girl through a simple smile, putting her down while accompanying her outside the bridge.
Meanwhile, Khan's mind went into overdrive, inspecting everything there was to inspect. Truth be told, the event was confusing and highly improbable, but the universe had messed up with Khan's plans before.
