章 326: Earth Calling, Side A

Each of the First Feathers sat in The Nest, a highly secure room near the heart of the Raven’s Refuge. Its design held a simple elegance - circular in nature, with a slightly domed ceiling above, and well lit on all sides.

A number of comfortable, high-backed seats were arranged next to each other on one half of the room. Though there was plenty of space for over a dozen such seats, currently only seven of them were present. They were arranged in two rows - three in front, four in the back.

In each of them were the First Feathers, with Eva, Lucifer, and Claire in the front seats, while Miko, Xylo, Amal, and Kali sat in the rear.

Amarok was also a bit off to the side, curled up into a big furry ball - as though she was asleep.

In the other half of the room was a holographic pad that projected whatever was needed into the air above it, whether it was a map for tactical use, readouts of critical data, or simply for communicating across the galaxy.
