Before long, several full days passed in succession.
The many rounds of negotiations between Sejanus, the captain of the Fourth Company of the XVI Legion who bore a secret mission and served as an ambassador, and the senior officials of the mine base led by Darius continued with great difficulty.

However, after hearing that Allie had not encountered the other girl at all over several days, and that even her several attempts to wander around the white little spacecraft had ended in failure, Sejanus—perhaps realizing that his rather presumptuous plan might not work—simply gave up.
