Difference between revisions of "Summary:Starsight"

M-Bot tells Spena her shuttle will take her to the trade vessel [[Weights and Measures]], they also cover the species within Spensa's flight. M-Bot also tells Spenaa about the kitten shadow walkers who came to Old Earth thousands of years before, but mysteriously stopped coming due to being ostracized among their own people. The shuttle passes a group of people waving signs, led by a burl. M-Bot searches the local news outlets and finds that they are protesting the use of live destructor fire in the tryout and the Superiority's treatment of lesser races as a hole. Spensa's shuttle reaches the last ship on the docks, what she identifies as a troop transport, due to its multiple ports for launching starfighters and the knobs on the sides for gun emplacements. Spensa gets put of her shuttle and is told she will be picked up again at 9000. Spensa is joined by Hesho and his crew, who informs her that he was unanimously voted down in each measure he brought forth in his people's democratic assembly. A drone flies over to the group, now joined by Morriumur and Vapor, and informs them they will be Flight Fifteen, which Hesho immediately renames [[Flowers of Night's Last Kiss Flight| Flowers of Night's Last Kiss]]. The flight is led down the corridors of the Weights and Measures, and Spensa feels she should peel off from the group and head a certain way. She does, and hears the stars, when a soldier guarding the intersection yells at her and she goes back to where her flight went. They enter a little chamber with half a dozen jumpseats, they strap in, and prepare for launch. Spensa relaxes and listens to the stars, hears the captain's command to prepare for hyperjump, then her mind floods with information, the location of where they're jumping to, a shrill scream, and then the ship enters the nowhere.
