Sector 3

Smolder's part of Sector 3 consisted of the systems Delta, and Zulu. As she got close, a scan told her that the planets in Zulu would be hard to chart.

In the Delta system, she came across something she had never seen in her life. Equus may have been modernized, but every single planet here was inhabited by complete nerds. These planets had technology unlike anything that had been created on Equus, so the workers gave her some pieces of equipment as well as copies of some of the blueprints for their best inventions. Smolder thanked them warmly and left with a grin. She could not wait to share these designs with Flurry.

In the Zulu system, Smolder's flight skills were tested to the ultimate level. 80% of the planets were in tight orbits around black holes. She had to watch how close she got in order to avoid getting pulled in. Nevertheless, she still managed to get pictures taken and samples collected from the planets that were in safe areas. Although, some of these inhabitants were not very friendly and didn't like outsiders. In those cases, Smolder kept her distance and cloaked her ship so they would not see anything. One planet involved her having to go scuba diving in order to carry out the mapping. She enjoyed that planet because she learned a lot about how to pressurize vehicles for extreme depths underwater. She took many notes so she could tell Flurry Heart as much as possible.

After making sure she had not missed anything, Smolder returned to the space station to regroup with her friends.
