Chapter 740: Darkness

Two more weeks passed since the drinking session, and the team repeated the event on multiple occasions, especially when the mission allowed it.

As for the mission, nothing really changed. The relationships with the Bone Tribe were gradually improving. Khan kept training inside the rectangular tent, and the ship amassed information about the planet and the Scalqa.

Zu-Gru's presence allowed deeper studies of the Scalqa without requiring guinea pigs and similar practices. Those aliens' anatomy grew clearer by the day, and Randall always conveyed that information to the shuttle in orbit. Still, no connection was established yet. It seemed the initial estimate had been too optimistic.

Khan didn't mind that outcome but also looked forward to a change of pace. He didn't only want to deal with the hidden threats as soon as possible. The days on Baoway were growing dull, and no number of drinking sessions could fix that.
