Erin peered over the edge of the roof. Heights meant nothing to her. She had lived on the top story of a skyscraper when she was a little girl. In the Academy she had learnt much on rooftops; how to jump buildings, fight high up, surveillance, balance, how to leap into moving shuttles, and more.

She wondered how to get down. She didn’t have any rope, but someone else might. There was also a lip on the building, which would complicate things if she need to get back up.

Allen was here talking to the fox. They were’t of any help.

She absently placed a hand into her pocket and withdrew her tracking beacon.

Hold on..where was Ehud’s compass? Never mind; she had her beacon. Since she was high up, maybe she could tweak it to send a stronger signal.

Erin sat down and swung her legs over the edge of the roof in a comfortable position then studied her beacon. It already had a range of eight light years, but she seemed to be in another dimension.

It would take a lot of power to break into the correct dimension. She needed something to transmit from. Something tall.

She switched on the gadget and a small holographic screen popped up, indicating where she was. She expected it to take hours to construct her surroundings, but instead it did it as if she’d been here many times.

Erin gasped. “What..? Not possible!”

A map of the surrounding planets started to construct along with nearby ships. It honed in on one ship in particular.

The Comet. Her ship. Smashed in the side of a mountain on this very planet.

Erin’s fist clenched and she stood, turning to the others.

“Excuse me, but I have located my ship and am setting out to meet with it. From what I’ve gathered, it is in a state of disrepair. I’m not asking for help from anyone since you all hate me, but if you come with me, I will do all I can to return you to your homes.” She nodded to punctuate her speech, and turned to find a way off the roof.
