=== Chapter 28 ===

 

The girls hang out in the dorm, making conversation and eating soup and bread, until Hurl enters the room, holding a slice of chocolate cake for each of the girls. FM informs Spensa that they have a pool and organized sports at the flight school, which Spensa wishes she could participate in. The girls then show Spensa the flight maneuvers they've come up with, and Spensa admits that sometimes she gets scared. Kimmalyn admits that not all of the quotations of the Saint she gives are actually from the Saint. After a few hours of talking, Kimmalyn and FM go to the bathroom, and Hurl tells Spensa that she's sorry that she compared Spensa to her father, and the two make a pact to be brave and to never back down.

 

=== Chapter 29 ===

 

Spensa wakes up before the girls and leaves to cleanse herself. She passes by the classroom, and sees the lights on, at 0530 no less. She peeks in, and sees Jorgen replaying the fight where Bim and Morningtide had died. She leaves the flight school, fearing that the MPs will report to Admiral Ironsides that she never left the flight school. Spensa turns on her radio, and M-Bot tells her he doesn't know whether or not he's a Krell, but Spensa doesn't believe he is anymore. Spensa then reenters the flight school, and an MP stops her and brings her to Admiral Ironsides. Ironsides tells Spensa she knows that Spensa has a hidey-hole at the flight school and that she's been stealing food from the mess hall, and Spensa tells her she has to protect the other girls. Ironsides tells her to quit, and that the cadet's pin will get her a lucrative job down below, and Spensa realizes the Ironsides can't simply kick her out of the flight school, she needs to prove that she was right to not want Spensa in the flight school, that she's dangerous and not suited for flight. She calls Spensa a coward, but Spensa holds a salute and walks away from Ironsides knowing that she has more power than the head of the entire Defiant Defense Force in this matter.
