The main cabin served as the living quarters, with a separate cultivation room, a rest cabin, and a small star chart room.
Song Chen told Shelly to stay in the rest area, then took the pilot's seat himself.
He quickly brought up the star chart on the console and, following the route Yiming had provided, set their destination to a Jump Channel exit on the outer edge of the Milky Way.
"Let's go."
The Shadowglide slipped silently out of its berth, like a black fish gliding into the depths of the sea.
