Heather's fight with Reasta escalates. The Elders of Vespia step down and appoint Heather as the leader. Something they didn't discuss with her. Something she doesn't want. For someone who doesn't like being in the limelight, Heather keeps finding herself there.

She wants to find all the computers she had been told about as quickly as she can. The sooner she has them, the sooner she can get rid of Reasta for good. Her excitement soars when she finds the third one. She expected him to behave the same way the other two had. He expects her to behave more like the warrior he has in his files. The two of them butt heads a lot. Heather doesn't have time to pass his tests. She has a war to fight.

On top of this, Earth sends a contingent of Humans to help them fight the war. Heather has enough trouble keeping her powers from the rest of Vespian society, yet she knows they could use their help.

She needs to remember this will get her to the end game. Reasta gone, and Vespia free from her tyranny.
