Maren froze for a second.
She watched the bright glow in Lyra’s eyes as she spoke, then suddenly laughed.
“Alright. We may not be able to pitch in with labor, but we can throw in Credits p>
Cedric raised his hand. “But our Credits are almost certainly frozen by the Federation p>
Maren’s smile faded.
Seeing the identical dumbfounded look cross Maren’s face, Lyra laughed until her sides ached.

Elowen shook her head with a soft chuckle. “We’re about to be left with nothing but thin air, and you’re still laughing p>
Lyra clutched her stomach.
“Then the Ferris wheel has to go up on the east side.
“Otherwise it’ll block that thin air, and we’ll have nothing left to survive on p>
Elowen couldn’t hold it in anymore and laughed behind her hand.
The Sentinels nearby stared at Lyra, doubled over with laughter.
None of them could recall ever seeing her laugh like this before.
Amid the warm, cheerful mood, Lyra typed out a message.
“Will you all keep talking? I need to step away for a moment p>
She nodded toward the spacecraft behind them.
Right now, they had nothing at all, only empty, run-down buildings left behind by residents who’d fled in haste.
They still needed to live aboard the spacecraft for a while longer.
Elowen and Maren nodded.
Lyra told Draven, Arthur, and the others to stay and keep discussing with the two Guides.
Felix, that clingy troublemaker, naturally wanted to follow her everywhere.

Elowen joked to calm him. “Let her handle her work. If you annoy her too much, she might stop speaking
you p>
Felix settled down at once.
Fine, he’d hold back for now…
Once Lyra and Harlan headed back to the spacecraft, Draven and the rest picked their conversationck
When they were out of everyone’s sight, Lyra pulled her hand free and typed, “Keep this..quiet Harlan had barely processed the words when Lyra’s body went limp, and she started to fall.
Shock flashed across his face. He lunged forward and caught her.
He almost called out for the others, but her warning before she collapsed echoed in his mind.
Harlan pressed his lips tight, anxiety flooding him as he lifted her and carried her toward her room. Staring at Lyra’s unconscious form, worry weighed heavily in his chest.
Her psychic power could not be used without limit.
She’d been forcing herself to hold on this whole time, hiding it so no one would fret over her.
Harlan sighed deeply, heavy with helplessness.
He didn’t blame Lyra for her stubbornness.
If she failed to demonstrate her power again, either the Federation or the rebels might seize the opening to turn the tables and trap them at a disadvantage.
Lyra had spent so long trapped under others’ control.
Now she’d finally gained this overwhelming power that could intimidate every faction, giving her a voice. Of course she would armor herself, so no one dared dismiss her.
Harlan only blamed himself for not paying closer attention, for not realizing this sooner.
Kuld have brought her back to rest the second those people left.
Telan gently laid her down and checked her

As he watched over her, his mind raced through possibilities.
Would medication ease this?
Who knew the best way to treat a state like this?
She told him to keep it quiet. Should he fetch the other two Guides to ask for their advice?
The room temperature kept climbing. Even in his thin shirt, Harlan felt overheated.
But when he touched Lyra’s forehead again, her body temperature had not risen at all.

Harlan rubbed his palms together, then wrapped his hands around her cold ones, hoping to warm her.
Then he quickly realized this only treated the symptom, not the root cause.
Lyra’s own body could no longer generate heat.
No more hesitation. Harlan spun around and rushed out to get help.
Outside, Lyra had not reappeared since heading back to the spacecraft.
At first, everyone assumed she’d gone to use the restroom.
But time dragged on. The Sentinels, who always wanted her within sight, began to sense something was
wrong.
The two Guides who’d been debating the third-tier planet’s future with them also noticed how distracted the men had grown.
Doubt crept into their minds as well.
Just then, Harlan stepped out.
At the sight of his expression, Felix and the others hurried over.
“Where’s Lyra p>
“Why do you look like that p>
“Did something happen to her p>
Listening to their urgent questions, Harlan thought that there was no way to keep this hidden.
They tried to push past him to get inside.
He held up a hand to block Felix and the rest.
“Calm down, all of you p>
Then he turned his gaze toward Elowen and Maren, forced to plead, “… Could you please come inside with

They were Guides, and Elowen held far more senior experience. They might understand what was happening to Lyra.
Elowen nodded without hesitation and stepped forward.
The second she heard Harlan’s tone, she suspected Lyra was in trouble.
Felix and the others grew even more frantic.
“What’s going on p>
“Is Lyra hurt p>
“Let us go in and see her p>
Zane, Flynn and Garen stood at the back. They said nothing, yet their faces showed clear concern for their Guide.
Harlan struggled to hold back the most impulsive members of the group.
“She said she didn’t want to draw too much attention. Please be patient. Let the two Guides go in first p>
