It's been two hours since Liam boarded the starship and he has completed his exploration of what Lucy had built. Every corridor he'd walked, every system he'd examined, every compartment he'd inspected—all of it pointed to one undeniable conclusion: Lucy had created a technological miracle.
The scale alone defied comprehension. The starship could house thirty-eight thousand people without straining its resources. Air recyclers, water purification systems, food production bays—everything necessary to sustain a small city, all packed into the vessel's massive frame. And even that number wasn't a hard limit.
Lucy had designed the ship as what she called a flagship, the pinnacle of her engineering capabilities. Its ecosystem was self-sufficient, capable of sustaining even larger populations for years if managed correctly.
