I glance up at him, but Fer’ro doesn’t skip a beat.

“When we reached this planet, it is how we took the first Gryken down—the one that had you imprisoned inside it.”

Sam shuffles a little on her feet and I know the same images, the same terror of having been in the belly of the machine, is coming right back to her.

“But we need materials to fuel it. Unfortunately, that material isn’t easily accessible and we only have limited stores on this ship.”

Sam glances at me and I release a breath.

“We can do it,” I say. “Whatever you need, we can do it.”

“We will do it,” Fer’ro corrects. “Together.”

A smile spreads my lips as I cross my arms and look up at him.

I don’t realize we’ve locked gazes for more than a few moments till Sam clears her throat beside me.

I pull my gaze away from Fer’ro’s and focus outside the ship once more. It is the only thing I can do other than meet Sam’s questioning gaze.

There is so much I need to tell her.

“So this will be the base then, huh.” I stare at the mountain before us. I have no idea where we are right now, but the landmass I’m looking at is about to be my home for the foreseeable future.

“Well,” I say, “if it’s going to be home, we have to give it a name.”

Fer’ro thrums a little. It is so low, I know Sam doesn’t hear it even though she is right next to us.

“It has a name,” he says. “We call it…Base Zero.”

“Base Zero,” I whisper.

My ba’clan thrum as I look at the mountain and I reach out and grasp Fer’ro’s hand.

He stiffens a little before he relaxes against me and his hand squeezes mine.

We’ve done so much already…

But this is only the beginning.
