==Summary==
During a battle with the Krell a couple months after the [[Battle of Alta Second]], a alien named [[Alanik]], of the [[UrDail]] species, crashes on Detritus and gives Spensa the opportunity to take her place and spy on the Krell.{{book ref|starsight|7}}{{book ref|starsight|8}} Alanik was cytonic like Spensa, and imprinted the coordinates for a place called [[Starsight (station)|Starsight]] in her brain.{{book ref|starsight|8}} Spensa hyperjumps for the second time and finds herself at the center of bureaucracy for the [[Superiority]], the alien organization that had kept humans imprisoned on [[Detritus]] for decades.{{book ref|starsight|9}}
Spensa pretends to be Alanik and tries out for the Superiority's new [[Superiority|Delver Resistance Project]], hoping to discover the secret to hyperdrives.{{book ref|starsight|13}} She trains in a flight with [[Vapor]], a non-corporeal [[figment]]; [[Morriumur]], a [[dione|draft]]; [[Hesho]], former king of the [[Kitsen]]; and [[Brade]], a tamed and registered human.{{book ref|starsight|17}} After they report for practie, Hesho renames their flight (originally called Flight 15) [[Flowers of Night's Last Kiss Flight|Flowers of Night's Last Kiss]].{{book ref|starsight|20}}
After discovering that the secret to cytonic hyperdrives was not a piece of equipment but an animal species called [[taynix]], of which [[Doomslug]] was a member, Spensa talked with [[Cuna]] and learned that [[Winzik]] was planning to use the [[delver]]s to destroy [[Detritus]]. Cuna was of a more moderate faction that fought to preserve humans.{{book ref|starsight|32}}{{book ref|starsight|33}}{{book ref|starsight|34}}{{book ref|starsight|35}} She returns to her homeworld to help them fight off the massive invasion force coming to them and has to leave M-Bot behind, although she finds out when she comes back that he's copied his code into the drone they used for spying.{{book ref|starsight|37}}{{book ref|starsight|45}}
Spensa first directed the delver away from Detritus toward [[Starsight (station)]] to buy time, but then comes to save it by showing the delver her point of view.{{book ref|starsight|41}}{{book ref|starsight|44}} She was brought to an infirmary after she was found floating in space and got caught up in Winzick's coup d'etat.{{book ref|starsight|45}}
