***...Learn...***

Nimsala glided his beast along the flight path issued by the female, Kran'shi. Whenever fear clouded his thoughts, she would use the Mindshare to calm him like a mother tending to a child. He had almost crashed into her ship at one point, but apart from that there were no other incidents. It was due in-part to a sense of impatience. He wanted to leave the safety of the safe space, to fight the steel beasts. But a logical argument had persuaded him to wait until he was deemed ready. He knew how to perform every manoeuvre the Wraith made available, but had to prove it.

The unknown planet bathed in the sunlight underneath him, its terrestrial surface known to be able to support human life. But the planet was denied to the Darknames by the formidable defence put up by the Wilde patrols near the jump holes leading to enemy space. Soon that space would be taken back for the Light, but until then the systems would continue to be raped for their resources by the Darknames. Nimsala could sense the planet now; he could see all of the mountains and rivers through his sense. Even the weather was a clear picture to him, clouds of water vapour colliding with one another over vast tracts of land to form mighty storms that raged mercilessly over whatever sorts of life that inhabited the ground beneath.

Remains of Darkname ships were also sensed by him and detected by his beast. The beast computer told him the names of the types of ship wrecks scattered in orbit around the planet. Titans. Sabres. All new words to the Incubus.

Suddenly, Kran'shi spoke through the Mindshare to him. He had been following her flight path for quite sometime, and she had not spoken to him during this period.

***...'Pilgrimage'...*** She said to him, before charging her cruise engines and heading into seemingly empty space.

Nimsala began to charge his beasts engines as well, excitement at seeing the great Gate surging through his hosts body. Seeing just how powerful the Slomon K'Hara really were.
