Silence invaded the settlement as Khan descended toward Rok-Go. The invading Scalqa waited past the rocky barrier, unsure what to do. Meanwhile, the defending tribe inspected Khan, still incredulous about his recent feats.

Amy was the only exception to the trend, but her emotions shared the aliens' intensity. She read about Khan and had spent the long trip beside him. Yet, seeing him in action was a completely different matter.

Humans could get used to seeing flight. That ability was rare but known. However, Khan had done much more than that in such a short time. He had killed a crisis that could have set back the political mission by weeks in mere minutes.

Khan's display of power was also mystical, almost god-like. Amy could partially understand what had happened since she had read the lessons' reports, but that awareness couldn't quiet down her emotions, and things were bound to be worse for the Scalqa.
