Welcome back, friends, for another episode of The Vela.

Things got real tense at the end of the last episode.

Asala handcuffed Nico.

And really, I don't blame her.

Wouldn't you be mad if Nico kept up alive the whole time they were on the run?

I'm surprised that Asala didn't do more.

Before we find out what Asala will do next, here's a word from our sponsors.

There are times in life when you just have to wait and see.

Like waiting to see if your team will finally win the title.

Waiting nine long months to see if it's a boy or a girl.

Or waiting to see if the sun will shine on your long awaited holiday.

Luckily, with an Evo-ICL procedure at Uptegra, you don't have to wait to see.

Experience life as it's meant to be seen.

Okay, are you ready to find out what happens on Ganda?

Of course you are.

I'm your host, Faith McQuinn, and this is the Vela,

episode eight.

The news that the Kayami fleet was coming should have made Asala feel something. A trail, fear, anger, something. Instead, her brain swallowed it

into numbness, drawing conclusions detached from emotion. Ekram was coming for the cubes. He'd have

the wormhole generators from Uzochi and Huffies, or he'd blast them and their people into craters.

Ganda wouldn't stand by while their space was violated either.
