35 Athena, Apollo Galaxy… Simone and Jules had traded places with Skyler and Gage. That was ten hours ago. An alarm sounded from the helm, alerting the pilot that Windmere’s space was within a thousand kilometers. Simone touched the key to turn it off, knowing Skyler would want to take the controls manually as they gained permission to land in the Penlei Region. She wondered if Skyler had allowed herself any sleep over the past several hours, or if she restlessly roamed her quarters. Simone felt only slightly nervous. She had never been to Windmere, and a new place always gave her a bit of excitement. Her hope was that the Media Room would be intact and Skyler would find what she sought. Sighing, she wished it would be as simple for her. That brought her back to the request from Ashtok.
