If Athenus already knew what they were up against, then Fate didn't need to go scouting. Given how worried the older girl was, and the things she was capable of, taking a look was also probably not even a good idea. Instead, she walked over to a dimly glowing console and turned it on fully. She couldn't quite work out what it was, and instead pulled across another screen, which actually had a label this time - 'Engine'.
Everything was still glowing red, which didn't seem like a good sign - that and the fact that the ship was still grounded. Wanting to pass on the message, she called out to David telepathically again: Athenus says that the thing's landed already. Get the engine back on as quickly as you can. Hopefully, before it finds us...
She remembered that Athenus had wanted help with a plan. "I need to know more about what we're up against before I can help. You mentioned that 'he' was here - a good place to start. Who is 'he'?"
