During the trip, Thrass and Lorana chatted a bit, wondering if they could really trust the Sith. Everything Lorana had been taught told her not to, but she also sensed that he wasn't trying to trick them and seemed to be sincere. In the past day, everything she'd known her whole life had been turned upside down, and she still wasn't sure how to process that. Thrass told her that if the situation turned bad, then they could find a way to contact his brother. Thrass didn't hold it against her that her former master was the one who tried to kill said brother.

When they reached their destination and exited the ship, Thrass couldn't help but look around curiously. It had to be huge, judging by the size of the hanger. Even more curious was that it seemed to staffed with nothing but humans. Was it possible that they were in Lesser Space now? Or had one of Thrawn's humans gotten the word out about this region of space and this vessel was sent to investigate? Hopefully they weren't here to make war with the Ascendancy.

The crew gave Thrass some curious looks as they passed, assuming that they'd never seen a Chiss before. He also saw a few of those droid things that Thrawn told him about.

"Is this a Republic ship?" Lorana asked, still speaking in the trade language they'd been using.
