Stellar quietly rode into town. The town itself though seemed to be more western oriented, looking like an old Wild Western times. To Stellar though, everything was new to her as she carefully studied the buildings, thinking hw well-thought-out it was built.

She asked the first one person that she met where she could stay for the night. The man was kindly enough and showed her a large house. Stellar thankied him, and slowly walked towards it, leaving the man looking at her back, shrugging in wonder. He could not understand how in the world a girl such as hers was riding on an unusual horse... A horse he once saw on TV... Although he could not remember what show it was... Was it "Galaxy and Agriculture" ? Or, was it in news?

Stellar did not even tied Nova as she walked in. The place itself looked like bar on the ground floor, but without any customers. An old man soon came out of the slam, who looked at her intently. Stellar was not one bit confused with the cold welcome. Instead, she gave him credit card, and said in a firm voice.

"I would like to rent a room."

Tart was a quiet planet. Its population in general involved themselves in agriculture. News were getting there very slow, so they had not heard anything about the chaos revolving around the Cavalry Commend. Otherwise, he would not have accept a credit card with a golden symbol on it. The owner himself felt very honored for having someone that special coming from the world famous organization. He soon started to smile.

"Sign here, please." he asked, turning the registration book towards Stellar. "It's quite hard to believe that something that important is happening around here for the Cavalry Command to send someone to us." the owner tried to be more friendly.

"I'm here on business." Stellar said the first thing she could thought off even though it was truth.

"Business? On that horse?" he definetly saw how Stellar got here. "Without an armor suit? Miss Stellar?"he read her name from the book. "We might be a little away from the High-Tech centers, but we certainly know that people can't travel around through space without an armour."

"I'll leave on the first spaceship!" she cut in. "Now, be so kind enough and show me my room. I'm very tired."

The owner nodded his head. Stellar certainly knew how to get her point across.

"And your luggage, miss? What should I do with the horse?" he then asked.

"I don't have any luggages. And the horse… Just move it from the sidewalk."

"Should I feed it?" the man asked in confusion.

"No!" she exclaimed even though she was not certain herself.

"All right then. Follow me."

Stellar was lead through the stairs until they reached the second floor. The man opened the door for her before passing the keys to her. He nodded his head, and turned around to leave, thinking that he was done. However, Stellar stopped him before he could even take the first step.

"I'm sorry to bother you again... But when does the next ship here?"

"Where are you planning on going?"

"To Planet Earth!"

"Well... We don't have any direct connections. Once a month, a liner come here, then heads to Morka. From there, you can catch another liner to get to Earth."

"And when is the next flight out?

"In about two weeks."

"Aren't there any ships that head before that?"

"Well... We have a ship heading to Riza in four days."

"Can I get to Earth from there?"

"From there? No, but if you'll go to Morka from there, then yes."

"And how often does a ship go from Riza to Morka?" Stellar pronounced the strange names diligently.

"Once a week... I think…"

"All right, be so kind, and book me to Riza and a luggage place for my horse."

The owner nodded, and Stellar went into her room, shutting the door behind her. In relief, Stellar laid down on her bed, and instantly fell asleep.
