Kael took a beat to absorb that.
They turned as the speaker hissed to life one more time.

Character
"SHE WILL WAKE. SHE WILL BURN. YOU WILL BE THE FUEL."

The planet Bakura loomed ahead — cold, pale, and crescent-shaped in the viewport like an unblinking eye watching from the stars.
Alyssa stood alone in the Observation Alcove, her palms braced against the cold transparisteel. She had closed her eyes only for a moment…
…and that was when it hit her.
The Vision.
There was no sound.
Just a coastal cliffside, overlooking a silvery sea beneath a dying sun. Clouds hung low like bruises in the sky.
In the water—figures. Dozens of them. Barely above the surface. Drowned, not dead. Their faces pale. Their eyes open, glowing faintly.
And then, standing atop the cliff with her—
Sommer.
But not as she was.
Her eyes were black pits. Her skin laced with dark vines. Something twisted wrapped around her spine like armor made from scripture.
And in her voice, the echo of Azis:
Suddenly, the cliff collapsed.
Alyssa tumbled into darkness, falling—
She gasped, jerking upright, back aboard the Dusk Nocturne. Her chest heaved. Sweat ran down her neck.
She blinked—and saw her reflection in the glass.
For a moment… her eyes looked different. Too bright.
Then they were her own again.

Bridge Corridor – Moments Later
Kael stood at Sommer's side, gently wiping her forehead with a cool cloth. She twitched slightly, murmuring nonsense in her sleep. One word repeated itself softly on her lips:
A moment later, Alyssa approached, composed but pale.
Kael turned.

He didn't like it.

"No," she said honestly. "But I'm focused."

He nodded, understanding. "She's holding on, barely. Whatever you saw—just say the word, I'll see if I can turn the ship around."
Alyssa Kydd
Character
She gave Sommer one last look, and Kael saw it—the fear, but also the resolve.

Character
"I'll hold the line," Kael said quietly. "You and Arq go. We'll keep this ship flying if it breaks apart around us."
Alyssa Kydd
Character
"Yeah."

Location: Bakura's Upper Atmosphere
The storm clouds over Bakura rolled like waves of ash, streaked with violet lightning and refracting strange hues through the Dusk Nocturne's reinforced cockpit glass.
As the ship descended, the turbulence grew aggressive — the kind that made lesser vessels rattle apart. But this ship held firm. As if challenged, it forced its way through the volatile barrier and emerged into a heavy mist stretching across a valley of jagged, obsidian-colored mountains.
From the cockpit, Kael glanced at the coordinates fed by Arq's scan pulse.

Below, a single signal flare pulsed in rhythmic succession — a landing beacon older than the Republic's current standard.

Kael manually guided the Nocturne down into a circular plateau, surrounded by petrified trees twisted by wind and time. The landing ramp hissed open, steam pouring out into the fog.
They descended in silence.

Sommer was still unconscious, resting aboard under Kael's watch. Arq remained near the ship's core, keeping systems locked and ready for evac.
Alyssa stepped onto the soil first.
Cold.
Too cold.
And then, from the fog… a silhouette.
A robed figure, feminine, with a veil draped from the brow to her chest, embroidered with symbols too ancient for translation. Her hands were folded — long, wrapped in ribbons of prayer-script cloth. Her voice came quiet, but carried through the air unnaturally.
Alyssa braced herself.
The figure turned slightly, the mist swirling around her as if respecting her space.
She took a step forward, and with it, the fog parted before her.

Kael, still gripping his blaster loosely, narrowed his eyes.

The priestess turned her veiled face toward him, then toward Alyssa.
Alyssa's brow creased. "You mean me?"
The priestess pointed to the north.
She paused.
The priestess turned and walked slowly back into the mist.

The med-bay inside the Dusk Nocturne was dim, quiet save for the rhythmic hum of life monitors. Sommer lay in a fevered sleep, the white sheets clinging to her frame, her breaths shallow but steady. A thin sheen of sweat coated her skin. Her pulse had stabilized… but something still burned inside her.
Kael stood against the wall, arms folded tightly. His jaw clenched. His eyes had not left her.
