VOL.1 PT..2
SeJai and his crew begin passing the Leti system and are only four months from Earth.
Captain Siru receives information alerts from Broadcaster stating that they have information from Earth council SETI. He alerts the briefing center to review it and inform Prince SeJai.
Captain Siru hopes Broadcaster has news about Queen Eillah. But he fears SETI may only want to negotiate flight technology contracts and he knows how SeJai and the rest of them have grown tired of continues and endless meetings with SETI without success. The whole ordeal as strained relations on both sides.
Earth and Sylph relations were promising for decades until 15 years ago after cloud AltaC48 flew over Earth and left a thin layer of coarse gas lingering in Earths' atmosphere. Although the gas causes no health problems or causalities it interferes with flight. The Sylph royal family visited Earth, under cloak, several times with much sympathy but made it clear that until the Earth Council SETI officially introduced Sylph to the human race and lift the "alien no contact" rule negotiations would take place. Earth remaining flightless and unable to conduct routine satelite repairs still refuses to lift the ban but remains persistent to pursue flight technology contracts with the Sylph. Earth Council SETI and the Sylph relationship had grown awkward. Siru only hopes Broadcaster was able to numb that relationship with news of the commanders on Earth.

Later, Nayt finds SeJai and Lady Korin in the repair areas. SeJai is angered by SETI's response but he expected it. SeJai tells Nayt that they will meet with SETI and should be prepared for the worst in this mission.
