At some point before this chapter, the protagonists need to make phone

calls happen – probably from the perspective of those on Earth as

most of the things in the Lunar Biosphere have been at least kinda
|

maintained.

She gets up and realizes that she had been completely neglecting her

She starts makeing her way to the main control center, part-way there the

kitchens to grab the next vegetable she can find, and heads to the control

center to log on at a terminal.

the view of the skyline from above. They had decided to wait on top of

one of the tallest sky scrapers the city had to offer to increase their

odds of seeing where Emily would land. The intense light of the sunset

paints Nova Metropolis in various hues of vibrant orange and the moon

is already visible in the sky. They are engaged in a conversation about

the mind-boggling vastness of space and all it contains.
