The two alien ships guide [[Spensa]] closer to the station, and she observes aesthetically beautiful buildings and parks on each block. [[M-Bot]] tells her that there is no radio chatter; the [[Superiority]] is as scared of the delvers as the humans are. Spensa pulls into the docking bay, and M-Bot tells her that the platform has breathable air for her and the correct pressure. He also tells her that the aliens will understand her English output because their pins will understand one of the main languages of the people who thrice tried to conquer the galaxy. Spensa pops the cockpit and gets an access ticket to the docking bay from one of the aliens. Spensa remains in the ship, and is approached by an alien who refers to themself as [[Cuna]]. Spensa tells [[Doomslug]] to stay in the ship, then gets out to meet Cuna. Cuna guides Spensa through [[Starsight (station)|Starsight]] to where she will stay, passing by markets and parks galore. Cuna tells Spensa that by agreeing to be in the Superiority's defense force, Alanik might gain secondary Superiority citizenship for her people. Cuna further tells Spensa the Superiority prefers race that are not too aggressive but also have primary intelligence. The [[UrDail]] have thus far been barred from Superiority citizenship due to their alliance with the humans in the [[Human wars|Third Human War]]. Cuna tells Spensa she is a member of the [[Department of Species Integration]], and has personally been trying to integrate the UrDail into the Superiority. Cuna takes Spensa to her quarters, and tells her that as a [[cytonics|cytonic]], Spensa poses a threat to the Superiority, as it was people like her who first drew the delvers[[delver]]s from their realm to attack the Superiority. This forced the Superiority to control the cytonics and limit radio communications, but since then they have since discovered cytonic hyperdrives andthat nodo longernot need to worry about aggravatingaggravate the delvers when they travel between the stars. Spensa discoversrealizes that the reason the KrellSuperiority never sent a massive numbersattack to wipe out the humans was because they simply didn't have the numbers, and they could more easilyinstead control the galaxy throughby controlling access to cytonic hyperdrives. Cuna then tells Spensa the reason the Superiority has been gathering pilots like her is because they believe the delvers are watching the Superiority, and they have developed a superweapon to combat the delvers that they need large amounts of pilots to deploy. Cuna tells Spensa that the [[Department of Protective Services]] is overseeing the delver combat operation, but that she has significant say in it. Cuna tells Spensa she needs to pass their tryout the next day, and thenalso warns her that her cytonic abilities will be muted by Starsight's cytoshield. Before they can leave, sirens go off around the building., Aa ship lands in front of the building, and out of it steps a human woman steps out.

Following the human woman comes a Krell[[varvax]], who [[Cuna]] callsintroduces as [[Winzik]], address asthe head of the Department of Protective Services. The group enters [[Spensa]]'s quarters and Winzik has the human, [[Brade]], test Spensa for [[cytonics.|cytonic]] Winzikabilities, after which he warns Spensa not to use any of her cytonic abilities underon theothers. cytoshield of Starsight, and asAs Cuna and Winzik continue to talk, Spensa realizes she is being used as a pawn in their greater political power struggle. Spensa agrees to follow the [[Superiority]]'s rules, and Winzik and Brade leave. Cuna tells Spensa she can arrange for supplies to be brought to Spensa's quarters, and then leaves. [[M-Bot]] contacts Spensa and asks her to move him away from the public docking bay so he can be more comfortable and connect to the station's public datanet to look for information.

[[M-Bot]] tells [[Spensa]] that he has deactivated all of the [[Superiority]] surveillance devices in her quarters and that he's taking a general imprint of the datanet so the Superiority can't track exactly what they're searching for. He tells her all traces of [[cytonics]] and hyperdrive technology are missing, however. He also tells her that he is miles ahead of Superiority technology in terms of holograms. He then tells her the five main leading races of the Superiority government: the [[cambric]], [[tenasi]], [[heklo]], [[varvax]] (like [[Winzik]]), and diones (like [[Cuna]]). He tells her howthat diones reproduce by merging together and becoming a temporary third individual. Spensa then has M-Bot arrange for supplies that both she and [[Alanik]] would consume to be brought to her quarters in bulk. M-Bot then covers some other necessities, like attempting to contact [[Detritus]] and Alaniksending so Spensa can send workword to the [[UrDail]] updating them on "Alanik's" progress with the Superiority. Spensa checks the information Cuna gave her on the flight test the next day and sees most of the participants are secondary Superiority citizens and that if she is to succeed, she will be issued a Superiority [[starfighter]], hopefullywhich she hopes will be equipped with a cytonic hyperdrive.

[[Spensa]] falls in line with the other pilots, and a few ships down she sees a sleek black [[varvax|Krell]] ace. She senses a soft ringing sound coming from the ship, and instantly knows [[Brade]] is the pilot. [[Winzik]] comes on over the general instructions channel informing the pilots that they are allowed to use ship to ship radio transmissions and that if they feel aggressive or feel overwhelmed, they are to power down their ship and flash their emergency signal lights. The comm cuts off and instantly dozens of drone ships detach from the mining station and swarm the pilots. Spensa zips away from the battle at Mag-3, away from the battle, and inspects the field. She can tell most of the pilots have never been in a battlefield scenario, as they scramble around with no sense of direction. Spensa contacts Flight Command and asks what the objective of the exercise is, to which they respond that to pass, a pilot must survive for 30 standard minutes. Spensa asks what constitutes a death, and Flight Command tells her that she misunderstands their purpose, asand she then sees a drone shoot down a nearby ship with live [[Starfighter#Destructors|destructor]] fire. Spensa dogfights with a couple of drones, using her [[Starfighter#Light-Lance|light-lance]] to destroy one andbut avoiding using her [[cytonics]] to intercept their FTL communications. This scares the drones off, as they know they don't need to test a pilot with obvious skill, but rather pick off weaklings. Spensa sees a large fighter with many destructors, a warship, under heavy attack from the drones, and accelerates to go help them out.

The warship's shields go down right as [[Spensa]] arrives, but their [[Starfighter#Destructors|destructor]] turrets keep firing at the Krelldrones. Spensa flies through the trailing Krelldrones and hits her [[Starfighter#Inverted Magellan Pulse|IMP]], hoping to distract as many Krelldrones as possible. She gains a tail, but the warship is able to cut down each Krell drone trailing her. Spensa falls in next to the warship, and [[M-Bot]] tells her they are receiving a call from an unfamiliar radio channel. M-Bot patches it through, and only cheering can be heard on the other end. A deep voice on the other side informs Spensa she has saved the [[kitsen]] flagship, Gaualoko[[Gaualako-An]] (Big Enough to Kill You) and with it, Hensho[[Hesho]], former king of the kitsen. Spensa asks if they want to form a flight with her, and Hensho says yes, but only if Spensa can find another quick starfighter to balance their flight. Spensa sees [[Brade]] flying off in the distance, and patches a radio comm to her asking if she wants to join. Brade responds by [[Starfighter#Light-Lance|light-lancing]] another ship into an asteroid and flying away at high speed. Spensa goes toward the ship Brade has just damaged to ask if they need assistance. She patches through a radio comm, and tells the pilot to turn off their ship and flash their emergency lights. The [[dione]] pilot tells Spensa they cannot, because the collision has crushed their emergency lights. Spensa tows the ship back toward HenshoHesho via light-lance, and sends out a radio comm via the general channel and asks if any ships can assist them. A feminine voice responds after a second attempt and promises to help if Spensa promises not to shoot. Spensa agrees, and a Krell drone comes out from hiding behind an asteroid and is almost shot by Spensa, until things are sorted out and Spensa tells the feminine pilot to distract the Krell drones keeping her from assisting the dione. The pilot does so, and Spensa is able to dislodge a small rock from the dione's boosters, allowing the ship to have fully operational boosters. The dione informs HensonHesho and Spensa that his name is [[Morriumur]], and the trio continue patrolling the battlefield until time expires and the drones return to their hiding places on the underside of the mining platform. The surviving 50 pilots return to the atmospheric bubble atop the mining station and exit their ships. Spensa is about to angrily demand why the Superiority used live destructor fire on civilian vessels, but is beaten to it by a hulking gorilla-like alien. The alien slams [[Winzik]] for not using dummy rounds and firing on an untrained populace, and proceeds to threaten Winzik. Winzik takes offense and releases the gorilla-alien, identified adas [[Gul'zah]] of the [[burl (species)|burl]], from duty. M-Bot restrains Spensa from getting further involved, and Morriumur steps in and asks Spensa if she wants to get food with him.
