Sir
The mental connection with Snow grew weaker as the spaceship flew toward the space station. The vehicle accelerated before slowing down and causing a series of clunking noises during its landing. Its doors opened and revealed a bright environment filled with white light tainted only by the azure glow of the tubes that ran on its smooth dark surfaces.
Earth's air flowed inside the spaceship and brought relief to the humans' lungs. The soldiers and recruits' bodies recognized their home, but that sensation only filled Khan's mind with sadness. He remained focused on the mental connection with Snow until that portal into the Aduns' thoughts closed and transformed into nothing more than a faint dot. It still existed, but he could easily overlook it if he didn't pay attention.
