[[Spensa]] realizes she can get home now, as the location of [[Detritus]] is burned into her mind, unfading. [[Brade]] informs Flight Command that the weapon was successful, and that she is confident that in the event of an actual [[delver]] attack, the weapon would divert the delver to the human refuge on [[Detritus]]. On their way back to the ''[[Weights and Measures]]'', Spensa and Brade argue about the ethics of loosing a delver on Detritus and Spensa tries to work up the courage to tell Brade that she's really a human and invite her to return with her to Detritus. Brade also tells Spensa she can teach her things about her powers that she never imagined, but Spensa is still skeptical about dealing with the delvers. [[Winzik]] informs Spensa and Brade that they are to report to him when they return to the ''Weights and Measures''. They return, and are escorted by a drone on a red carpet to a room containing a party. The room is filled with [[Superiority]] officials and higher ups in the Department of Protective Services all chatting and celebrating ridding the galaxy of the fear of delver attacks. Around the room are screens showing footage of the pilots dogfighting embers, and Winzik is making the rounds pitching the idea of the delver defense force to many government officials. [[Cuna]] and Winzik square off on opposite sides of Spensa, and Spensa asks Cuna if she knew about the plan to loose the delvers on human refuges. Cuna says yes, then the party stops as Brade throws her drink against the wall in outrage, so Spensa follows her, consoling her. They return to the jump room where their flight congratulates them on reaching the heart, and Spensa settles in to listen to Winzik's commands to the engine room. They switch out the hyperdrive again, and, after they make the return to [[Starsight (station)|Starsight]], Spensa's espionage drone informs her that it has tripped a sensor in the engine room and will likely be discovered. An alarm throughout the ship goes off, and Spensa tells the drone to detach the destructor pistol, turn off the safety, and start pulling the trigger.

[[Spensa]] hears the gunshots echoing in the halls and shouts for the crew to help her defend the ship, and runs out of the jump room. The [[kitsen]] join her, and she runs down the hall, where the guard normally stationed there is cowering behind a wall. Spensa asks for a gun, and the guard hands her a handheld destructor pistol and they march down the hall. Spensa tells the drone to fly down their hallway, fire a couple of shots into the ceiling, drop the gun, and then fly into Spensa's bag. The drone executes the plan, scaring the guard, and Spensa shoots the falling gun on her fourth shot, causing an impressive explosion. Spensa dives on top of the guard to shield her from the blast, then tells her that she shot down the drone. The guard tells Spensa to grab her bag and return to her jump room, which Spensa does gladly. Spensa returns to her jump room, and the drone informs her its holographic unit is offline. The ''[[Weights and Measures]]'' docks at Starsight, and the pilots all line up to have their bags inspected. [[Vapor]] orders Spensa to come with her, and Spensa follows. Vapor leads her to a sleek shuttle, with [[Cuna]] inside. Spensa looks back at her flight, preparing to be searched, and decides her only option is to get in the shuttle.

[[Cuna]]'s shuttle reaches a safe distance away from the ''[[Weights and Measures]]'' when Cuna hands [[Spensa]] a paper detailing the [[UrDail]]'s personal communication with her. The papers go from not wanting to send more pilots to the [[Superiority]] to cutting off communications until [[Alanik]] is returned. Cuna comes to the conclusion that Spensa is simply an UrDail spy sent to steal hyperdrive technology, and that she never truly intended to gain Superiority citizenship. Cuna inspects Spensa's espionage drone, and [[Vapor]] tells her it islooks like formerold [[figment]] technology. Spensa tells the drone to play back the video it took two minutes before hyperjump. The video shows the engineering room, and the subsequent conversation between the engineers and [[Winzik]], then it shows an engineer getting up to replace the hyperdrive. He walks over to a cage, opens it, and pulls out a [[taynix|yellow slug with blue spines]].

[[Spensa]] watches the rest of the video, and finally understands why Commander [[Spears]] instructed [[M-Bot]] to search for fungi: he needed a new hyperdrive and [[taynix]] are found around fungi. [[Vapor]] then reveals that she followed Spensa the day she went on a walk with [[Morriumur]] and saw [[Doomslug]] in the embassy window. [[Cuna]] tells Spensa she is going to show her what the [[Superiority]] is, and leads her down the hall. Vapor tells Spensa she can trust Cuna, so Spensa asks if she can trust Vapor. Vapor tells Spensa she hasn't told anyone what Spensa really is, so Spensa decides she can trust Vapor. Spensa tells M-Bot that Doomslug is a hyperdrive, and tells him if she dies he is to fly back to [[Detritus]] and tell them. Cuna tells Spensa the Superiority has been on the brink of losing its stranglehold on [[cytonics|cytonic]] hyperdrives for some time, so some bureaucrats, like [[Winzik]], reached the conclusion that the delvers[[delver]]s must be used to control the Superiority. This led him and Cuna to create the Delver Resistance Program, Winzik's motive being to scare people and Cuna's motive being to convince herthe speciesSuperiority that lesser species' aggression washas okayvalue. A pair of doors open in the chamber and [[Gul'zah]] is led in, chained. Spensa tells Cuna she thought the protesters had reached an agreement, and Cuna tells her that the Department of Protective Services was brought in, and agreed to the protesters demands, in exchange for Gul'zah. Some people on Starsight fear the events onboard the ''Weights and Measures'' were arranged by revolutionaries led by Gul'zah, so the decision was made to exile him. The center of the room shimmers, and an orb of pure blackness emerges, an orb Spensa immediately recognizes as a portal to the [[nowhere]]. Gul'zah's face is pressed to it, and his body stretches, and then the rest of him is sucked into the orb. RealizingAfter everyone has left, realizing Cuna is sincere and that she has few choices left, Spensa takes a deep breath and deactivates her hologram.

[[Spensa]] sticks out her hand, telling [[Cuna]] this is the opportunity she's asked for, and Cuna takes it. Spensa tells her about the advanced hologram technology she and her ship use, and Cuna is amazed. Cuna tells her she argued on behalf of the humans for hours in closed doors senate meetings to keep radicals like [[Winzik and Sssizme]] from exterminating the humans. Cuna also expresses her amazement atover the fact that humans recoveringhave recovered from essentiallypractically abeing Superiority-inducedsent back to the stone age to having hyperdrives again. Spensa then tells Cuna that Winzik has plans to use cytonic beings[[cytonics]] to control the delvers[[delver]]s and hold them over the Superiority's head to keep people in line. Spensa convinces Cuna to allow her to take the sensor unit back, as [[M-Bot]] needs it. Cuna escorts Spensa outside of the building and offers to fly her back to the embassy to return her to Detritus, but [[Vapor]] flies up in a military shuttle, informing Spensa their flight is being mobilized, thinking a delver has been spotted.
