=== Chapter 26 ===
The Weights and Measures enters the nowhere, and all of the eyes focus on the ship's cytonic hyperdrive, until one eye stares right at Spensa, just before the ship returns to Staraight's docks. While waiting to dock in the jump room, Spensa overhears Hesho talking to Senator [[Aria]] about even though each vote went unanimously against him, the Superiority still suspects him of exerting his powers as absolute monarch over the Senate. He tells Aria that the Superiority must want the Senate to choose what they want, not what Hesho wants. Spensa discusses the Superiority's hegemony of the worlds of "lesser races" with Hesho but doesn't see Morriumur seated behind them, so he walks away, embarrassed. Brade tells Spensa she thinks the flight is making progress, which is a huge step in the right direction for her and Spensa's relationship, and on her way off the ship, Spensa tells the guard at the intersection near the engine room that she has to use the restroom. The guard calls for a drone, who leads her past the guard and to a restroom. Spensa times herself and overhears the drone operator speaking with a colleague over the drone's unmuted mic. The drone escorts her back to the intersection, where Hesho has been waiting. Spensa tells Hesho she is a cytonic, and he tells her of his grandmother's attempt to steal a cytonic hyperdrive a few decades back and his species' subsequent temporary revocation of citizenship. On the shuttle back to the embassy, Spensa notices that Gul'zah and his protesters are no longer protesting, and M-Bot tells her they reached an agreement with the Superiority, compensation for the families of the deceased and a promise to institute stricter safety protocol in future tryouts.
