Zoey asked the pilot, astonished. The small cockpit was scattered with all kinds of printouts and star charts in various disarray across multiple lit-up displays. A cup of coffee was spilled on the floor, next to a stack of carelessly strewn maps and manuals. In the midst of this chaos sat Captain Garcia staring blankly at her, his eyes rimmed with red. With a flare of alarm, Zoey looked out the viewport window of the cockpit. Nothing but an endless blanket of stars met her gaze. What was he talking about? Off to the far end of the window, she could barely see the blue globe of the planet that would be their destination. It was no larger than a marble at the moment, thanks to an unexpected but brief side trip they’d made to Ceti 17 to study a broken research vessel in a nearby asteroid belt. The Cephalon was the same star-class as the Yokohama, and their voyage was a study of the Yokohama. Dr. Nevis had thought it would be worthwhile for them to visit the other wreck, even though it added a few days of travel onto their trip.
