Nova and Anna stepped off the ramp of the modified shuttle, the black matte surface of the craft shimmering faintly with aether energy.
The moment they touched the outer atmosphere of Planet Ursa, Nova had felt it—the dense, saturated aether pressing against the ship like a living force.

She said, adjusting the strap of her gun.
Nova gave a brief nod but didn’t slow his pace.
