In the end, the rest of the day past without incident, and the pair set up camp. Kat took the first shift and Xiang the second, with Kat taking the much longer shift. Kat hopped up into one of the trees beside the road and settled in. She sent off a few messages to everyone, and considered sending a message to Minor, but decided to hold off a few more days just in case.
There wasn't any news from back on Earth so Kat relaxed, and tried to flick between meditation and full alertness to see what happened. Kat found it really uncomfortable. There was no feeling of sluggishness like she was expecting, but instead, she felt as though parts of her mind were grinding against each other.
