[[Spensa]] and [[Brade]] practice flying together with the expertise only gained by wingmates of a couple decades, then the flight regroups and contemplates the weapon the [[Superiority]] has been developing to combat the [[delver]]s. [[Vapor]] condemns the rumor that her species is employed as assassins, then takes Brade on a run through the delver maze, leaving Spensa to meditate in her ship alone. She unstraps and sits floating in her cockpit when she relaxes and hears [[Becca NigthshadeNightshade| Gran-Gran]] trying to speak to her. Spensa panics and tries to speak back, but to no avail. Vapor returns and she and Spensa agree that it is time for the flight to go through the delver maze. Brade takes off on her own, and Spensa heads in with [[Hesho]] and his crew, while [[Morriumur]] and Vapor pair up. Hesho and Spensa go through multiple tunnels and rooms, one room containing an actual boulder in an odd place and another room allowing sound to travel even when Hesho's instruments team reports a vacuum outside the ship. Hesho has his crew take images of the writing on the wall for future reference, and Spensa tells him where she's seen it before, so he tells her she might have a [[nowhere]] portal on her home planet, a valuable source of [[acclivity stone]] the Superiority is desperate to monopolize. After about a half hour of flying, Hesho and Spensa a room that looks like the membrane to Spensa, though Hesho sees nothing. Spensa takes a deep breath to calm herself, then sees the entire universe. She sees it from the delvers' point of view, all the creatures inhabiting worlds she sees as annoying, loud insects and bugs that buzz around her and annoy her. She finally snaps out of it, and demands Flight Command tell her if they sent her that hallucination. They tell her they didn't, so Spensa and Hesho leave and regroup with the flight. Brade is angry and annoyed, having gotten stuck in the first few rooms, not being able to tell what was real and fake. The flight returns to the [[Weights and Measures]] to head back to [[Starsight (station)|Starsight]].
