Back in the vacuum of space, Caden examined his data slate, focusing on the star chart. He was determined to make his way back to the galaxy, though without a fully functional navigation system, the journey was fraught with uncertainty.
"I just need to get back within the galaxy's bounds," he muttered to himself, plotting a rough course based on his last known position and the trajectory from Kyrion. "From there, I can figure out the rest."
Gathering his essence, Caden began to charge up for another warp-speed journey. His previous experience had taught him the importance of timing in these blind jumps. He propelled himself forward, feeling the familiar rush of warp speed enveloping him.
As he traveled through warp space, Caden started a mental countdown. "Thirty-five seconds should bring me close enough to familiar space," he thought. When he reached the count, he carefully decelerated, easing out of warp speed.
