Zion opened a hologram, then turned to Koru.
"Not yet," he said. "But we're close."
Koru's eyes widened as he noticed the blue screen.
"What's that?" he asked, pointing at the hologram.
Zion closed his eyes for a moment, already feeling a headache form.
'Uriel, please tell me you can educate him over the next three days.'
[Naturally,] Uriel responded, its tone warm. [Also, there's one minute remaining until we exit the planet's atmosphere.]
He let out a sigh of relief and turned to Koru again.
"I'll explain everything to you later. Just sit tight for now... the ride is about to get a little rough."
Koru nodded enthusiastically, its eyes locked on the front window as the sky gradually turned dark.
A minute later, the entire ship shook violently.
The vibration rattled through the control room, metal groaning as the hull pushed out of the planet's atmosphere.
Koru let out a startled sound, gripping the metal restraints hard enough to bend them into the shape of his fingers.
