Khan woke up at the sound of his buzzing phone. He slept longer than usual due to his injuries, which was still short for humans. Yet, a mess seemed to have happened in those hours.

Hurrying toward the phone reminded Khan about his condition. His body groaned at the sudden turn on the mattress, and the metal brace got in the way. Still, the device eventually fell into his palm, and shock followed.

Jenny, the Headmistress, and some of Khan's oldest friends were trying to contact him, but he ignored those calls to open the network. He had been in the same situation many times, so he knew something had happened, and his hunches turned out to be right.

The network didn't mention Cegnore, but information that used Khan's name and his involvement with the Thilku had gone public, and that couldn't have come from the human scientists alone.
