For the next few days Max answered a constant stream of messages from their Alliance observers, who seemed to be curious about all things human.
Their Commander wouldn't give them clearance to come visit Terminus even after a few rooms opened up after the parents of the new students began to head home, but Nico did send them the replicator program for a variety of human foods that they could teach to their own computers so that they could form a proper opinion of human cuisine.
Max thought it was a bit ridiculous that they wouldn't even send over a few members, but it was their security chief's choice to keep themselves quarantined. They weren't exactly hiding from anyone, but they could do their job from either ship, as long as Terminus kept sending them data.
