Chapter 1088: White Mouse

Khan kept watching the dark, starry sky while his ship approached the dome. He had half-expected the colony to require another threat to reopen the passage, but luckily, nothing of the sort ended up being necessary. The thick glass moved away again, allowing his vehicle to land before the settlement.

The metal floor that covered the dome's insides released a low scream when the ship landed, but nothing broke.
