|M-Bot to Spensa after her hyperjump{{book ref|sky2|9}}
}}
▲ At Starsight, she was greeted by [[Cuna|Minister Cuna]], who showed her where she was staying and explained the workings of Starsight.{{book ref|starsight|10}} She went to tryouts for the Superiority fighter force, in which the Superiority used drone ships with live fire. The Pilots had to survive for thirty minutes. Spensa saw a large ship floundering, and rescued it with the help of [[Morimurr]] and [[Vapor]]. The four ships worked together during the exercise and passed, and afterward they were put together into one flight, including [[Brade]].{{book ref|sky2|17}} Spensa met Mrs. [[Chamwit]], her housekeeper. Spensa was highly suspicious of Chamwit, believing her to be a Superiority spy despite her kindly nature. Spensa talked with Cuna a lot, learning about Starsight and its politics.{{book ref|sky2|19}} Spensa and her flight boarded their carrier ship, the [[Weights and Measures]], which hyperjumped them to their training location. As they hyperjumped, she heard a shrill scream that nobody else appeared to have heard.{{book ref|sky|20}}

|What do you idiots think you’re doing! That was the most embarrassing excuse of a hostile approach I’ve ever seen! Grade, you were ordered to clear the firing path, not fetch a fist of enemy nose hairs!

They trained on a delver maze, but were wildly disorganized. Vapor recognized Spensa’s flight experience, and made her assistant flightleader so she could lead the group in doing drills. She found herself falling into the role easily, unconsciously copying Cobb’s mannerisms.{{book ref|sky2|22}} After learning the basics of fighting against delvers on the delver maze, Spensa worked on assembling a drone at the embassy, with M-Bot’s assistance. She learned more about Superiority, and about the taynix.{{book ref|sky2|27}} After M-Bot programmed it, Spensa released the drone aboard the Weights and Measures. After practicing with her flight, her drone was discovered, and Spensa was forced to hide it after much ensuing chaos. Spensa was discovered by Vapor and Cuna, who assumed her to be a generic UrDail spy. Spensa watched the drone’s video of the engine room, taken before they hyperjump, and saw that they were using taynix to hyperjump.{{book ref|sky2|33}} Cuna reveals Winzik’s plans, which are to use delvers to control rebellious planets, likely including Detritus. Spensa revealed herself to Cuna, who is amazed rather than angry. After the flight gets called into action, Spensa decided to reveal herself to Brade, who immediately started sounding the alarm, announcing that she had found the human spy.{{book ref|sky2|36}} Spensa was forced to escape in her Superiority starfighter, hyperjumping back to Detritus but leaving M-Bot behind on Starsight, who was trying to re-write his programming. After going to Platform Prime and briefing Cobb, then heard Brade screaming into the nowhere. Spensa realized that Winzik was attempting to summon a delver to attack Detritus, and she hurries to her starfighter.{{book ref|sky2|38}}
