"Command, this is Vasquez. I've found a star garden."

"Copy, Odyssey. What do you mean?"

"Someone arranged these stars. Deliberately. Artistically."

Kaelen appeared beside her. "It's a First Ones' creation. A garden of light, designed to honor the cosmos."

"Can we learn anything from it?"

"Yes. The patterns contain knowledge. Mathematics, physics, philosophy."

The Odyssey recorded the star garden, its data enriching the alliance's understanding of the universe.

"Command, we've recorded the star garden."

"Copy, Odyssey. That's a remarkable discovery."

Elena looked at the stars, at the art they represented.

"The First Ones were not just scientists," she said. "They were poets."

"Yes," Kaelen replied. "They saw beauty in everything."

The Odyssey continued its journey, carrying the memory of the star garden.

The universe was vast.

And full of art.

The end.

"Control, this is Lightning Lead. We're in severe weather. Requesting divert to alternate field."

The radio crackled, half-static, half-voice. "Lightning Lead, we have you. Storm cell is moving fast. Suggest you ride it out. You're too far from any divert."

Elena checked her fuel. She had maybe forty minutes before she'd be gliding. The storm had them, and it wasn't letting go.

"We're going to have to go through it," she said to Marcus. "Stay close. Don't lose visual."

The clouds swallowed them. The cockpit went dark, then blinding white as lightning cracked past. Elena's instruments flickered, died, flickered again. She flew by feel, by instinct, by the thin thread of trust she had in the machine around her.

"Elena!" Marcus's voice, tight. "I've lost my nav. I'm blind."

She saw him through the rain-a shadow, a ghost, barely there. "I see you. Stay on me. Don't drift."

The storm hammered them, tossed them, tried to tear them apart. Elena's arms burned with the effort of holding the stick. Her eyes never left Marcus's shape, a darker gray against the gray sky.

Then, as suddenly as it had come, the storm released them. Elena blinked in the sudden sunlight, the clouds falling away, the coast appearing below.

"Marcus? You there?"

His voice was shaky but alive. "I'm here. I'm here."

They dropped toward the base, the runway a line of welcome below. Elena's hands were shaking when she set the Lightning down, when she rolled to a stop, when the canopy opened and she breathed air that wasn't recycled and thin.

She climbed down, her legs unsteady, and found Marcus already on the tarmac, pale, grinning despite himself.

"Never doing that again," he said.

Elena looked at the sky, clear now, the storm gone like it had never been. "We made it. That's what counts."

They walked toward the hangar, toward coffee and warmth and the ground that didn't move beneath them. Behind them, the jets sat silent, their engines cooling, their wings dripping with the rain that had tried to kill them.

The sky had tested them today. And they had passed.
