The warship's shields go down right as [[Spensa]] arrives, but their [[Starfighter#Destructors|destructor]] turrets keep firing at the drones. Spensa flies through the trailing drones and hits her [[Starfighter#Inverted Magellan Pulse|IMP]], hoping to distract as many drones as possible. She gains a tail, but the warship is able to cut down each 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, [[Gaualako-An]] (Big Enough to Kill You) and with it, [[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 Hesho 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 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 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 Hesho and Spensa that histheir 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 as [[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 himthem.

[[Morriumur]] and [[Spensa]] enter a cafeteria, and Morriumur tells Spensa a little more of how their species' reproduction works, and they argue about the hypocrisy of the [[Superiority]]. Morriumur tells Spensa they are joining the Superiority's pilots because they were born with a high level of aggression for a [[dione]], and they thought this the best way to prove themselves to their family. The cafeteria has food and liquid for all kinds of species, so [[M-Bot]] tells Spensa what [[Alanik]] would be able to eat that Spensa can consume too. Morriumur tells Spensa of histheir theory of why so many species, flora, and fauna across the galaxy look and act so similarly: he believes humanoid [[cytonics]] crossed the galaxy before they had stone tools. Spensa and Morriumur continue discussing the ethics, including how dione families choose whether or not to birth a child based on its personality, when [[Hesho]] and his crew enter the cafeteria. Hesho proposes a formal alliance between his crew, Spensa, and Morriumur, and the trio hypothesize what their Superiority training will entail next. None of them know much about [[delver]]s, so none of them know exactly what to expect. Hesho calls out the Department of Protective Services for its lack of empathy, and the group settles into eating their meals. Spensa hears the song of the stars outside of [[Starsight (station)|Starsight's]] cytoshield, she also hears the humming of [[Brade]]'s cytonics nearby. She excuses herself to use the restroom, and goes towards the humming. She turns a corner and sees Brade speaking with a group of dione officials and [[Winzik]].

[[Spensa]] crouches by the door, listening to [[Winzik]] and the [[dione]]'s conversation, when [[M-Bot]] tells her he can enhance her bracelet's auditory reception capabilities so she can better listen to the conversation. He does so, and Spensa hears another dione, named [[Tizmar]], arguing with Winzik over the ethics of using live [[Starfighter#Destructors|destructor]] fire on untrained pilots, telling him there were a dozen casualties. Spensa feels a mind pressing against her own, and hears another official ask why [[Brade]] is standing up, alert. Spensa realizes Brade can sense her too, so she scrambles back to the cafeteria and sits down back at her table just before Winzik comes in and stares straight at her. A dione official comes up to their table some time later and informs Spensa and [[Hesho]] they will be in a flight together, along with Brade and a cinnamon-smelling [[figment]] named [[Vapor]]. [[Morriumur]] is left in a flight of histheir own until Spensa argues with the official, who gives in and allows Morriumur to join their flight. The group splits up, and M-Bot tells Spensa he has partially succeeded in lying, he tripped his security alarms to stop a group of engineers from inspecting him. Spensa comes to the conclusion that if she can't steal a [[Superiority]] hyperdrive, maybe she can steal one of their [[cytonics]], Brade, by telling her of [[Detritus]] and a group of humans who would appreciate her flying abilities.

[[Morriumur]] asks [[Spensa]] if hethey'sre really worth training, as the current draft of himself might be wiped soon, to which Spensa responds yes, that hethey isare improving rapidly as a pilot. The two continue discussing Morriumur's parents, and Morriumur tells Spensa hethey wants to show her a park in the city. On their way, Morriumur tells Spensa hethey overheard her and [[Hesho]]'s conversation earlier aboard the ''[[Weights and Measures]]'' and argues that although theirthere are flaws to the [[Superiority]], just as their are in every government, it has provided good lives for millions of beings through the monopolization of [[cytonics|cytonic]] hyperdrives. They finally arrive at the park, where Spensa sees globs of water floating in the air with smaller globs floating around the park, with hundreds of children splashing around and throwing water at each other. Once a clock on a nearby wall reaches a certain point, all the water in the park rains down on the children, leaving them squealing with delight. It is at this point that Spensa lets her guard down for the first time since arriving, realizing the Superiority isn't some grand façade, that its citizens truly are happy, they're just average everyday beings, just like her and the people of [[Detritus]]. Spensa tells Morriumur of the stories [[Becca Nightshade|her grandmother]] told her, saying they are from the cadamique, the [[UrDail]] holy book; stories of warriors who went off to war and succeeded, but came back different and unable to adapt to the society they had fought so hard to protect. Spensa tells Morriumur the Superiority needs different people like himthem and her. They head back to the embassy, and Morriumur sees [[Doomslug]] and immediately becomes aggressive, telling Spensa she needs to get rid of the [[taynix]]. Spensa tells him it is a very similar-looking species, and Morriumur tells her hethey won't report her. He leaves, and M-Bot tells Spensa she needs to see the news. She turns on a monitor on the wall to a news station that shows an image of Detritus and exclaims that the humans are close to escaping.

[[Spensa]] runs back to the dock of [[Platform Prime]], gets into her [[Superiority]]-issued [[starfighter]], and takes off. She tries to look for [[Brade]]'s starfighter in the battle, but is unsuccessful. She spots the ''[[Swims Against the Current in a Stream Reflecting the Sun]]'' and flies towards it, hoping [[Hesho]] will know where Brade is. Spensa tries opening a private comm line but receives no response. She pops the cockpit and floats out above her ship, telling Hesho he can take the first shot at a human. They go back and forth, arguing about Spensa lying versus Hesho only knowing one person during their time in training, and that person he knew was not a mindless killing machine in the way the Superiority describes humans. She tells him that [[Winzik]] plans to use Brade to summon a delver, and [[Kauri]] chimes in and asks Hesho to ask his crew. The comm goes silent, and the crew decides against shooting Spensa, overruling Hesho. Hesho informs Spensa that [[Morriumur]] decided to end histheir time as a pilot and that [[Vapor]] is somewhere in the fight. Kauri tells Spensa they were instructed to protect Brade at all costs, which further supports Spensa's assumptions. As a sign of good faith, Spensa tells Hesho that the [[taynix]] are the basis for the Superiority's hyperdrives. Hesho tells Spensa he has the ''[[Weights and Measures]]'' battle plan, and a [[kitsen]] onboard tells Spensa the coordinates Brade should be at. Another kitsen tells Hesho that the ''Weights and Measures'' has contacted them and asked them what they are doing, so Hesho tells them to stall. [[Vapor]] opens a private comm line to Spensa and tells her she's figured out that Spensa's really from [[Detritus]]. Spensa tells Vapor her theory about Brade, and Vapor agrees. The trio takes a defensive position and moves in on Brade. Spensa calls [[Cobb]] on the general [[DDF]] line and tells him to have all pilots cut off all communications, and even power down Platform Prime, as Brade is about to summon a delver. Cobb says he will, and the trio approach Brade and patch through a comm line to her. Brade tells Spensa she's always wanted to see who's the better of the two of them, then Spensa mutes the line and tells Vapor and Hesho they can't shoot to disable, they have to shoot to kill.

[[Morriumur]] is with histheir family, ready to go into a pod to separate so histheir parents can repupate. HisTheir family's eldest grand, [[Numiga]], helps himthem into the pod and tries to soothe histheir fears. HeThey beginsbegin to feel disoriented as histheir brains separate, when [[Starsight (station)|Starsight]] is shook by a massive force. While his family is distracted and begins to run away, hethey getsget out of histhe pod, forcesforce histheir brain and body to return to normal, and standsstand to face the [[delver]].

[[Spensa]], [[Vapor]], and the [[kitsen]] streak towards the [[delver]] when Spensa notice the ''[[Swims Upstream]]'' is trailing smoke. [[Kauri]] tells Spensa that her ship's boosters are barely working and that she won't be able to enter the fight. Spensa and Vapor push on and confront [[Brade]]. Spensa patches through a private comm and Brade tells Spensa if she reaches the heart first, she's going to use the weapon to send the delver back to [[Detritus]]. Brade cuts off the line and Spensa and Vapor trail after her. After dodging a few embers, Spensa and Vapor lose each other, and Vapor's radio goes silent. Spensa is flailing around, confused by the visions the delver generates and overwhelmed by its emotions, when she sees a shape, which she thinks to be [[M-Bot]], appear. [[Morriumur]] patches through a private comm line and tells Spensa that because hethey isare two people, the delver is prohectingprojecting different visions to the different halves of histheir brain, allowing himthem to see through the illusions. HeThey [[Starfighter#Light-Lance|light-lanceslance]] Spensa's ship, pullspull her to the heart, opensopen her canopy, and dropsdrop her into the membrane.
