Habilitation, page 6
There was only one thing left now, one thing that the Professor had subconsciously overlooked in his love of her. If she took The Wilhelm back to earth she would be delivering the most advanced piece of technology the aliens had to offer to Earth. The information available on this ship was far too dangerous, her grandfather had taught her that. If this ship was allowed to fall into human hands it would compromise the location of the new alien colony and all their hard work would be undone. It would give humans advanced knowledge of propulsion and weaponry, something that could be truly catastrophic to other alien species throughout the universe. She had spared the Professor most of the true history of what had really happened on Kepler 84C, told him only what he needed to know to free his people and be free himself.
Angela brought the ship closer to Kepler, letting gravity lead her downwards. The ship began to plummet. She watched as the blue polluted smog whisked across the screen. By the time she was through the worst of it she had only a few seconds to take in the brown wasteland rising up to meet her.
