### Earth Flight

Raven is assigned to be Jarra's and Fian's bodyguard. Colonel Leveque is concerned about who he assigns as he doesn't know who is involved with the attempts on their lives.

When he goes with them to visit Keon and Issette, he is shocked when they tell him about the experiments done on them as children. It also comes to light that he had arrested Keon for Leveque, when Keon refused to work for the Military on analyzing the light message from the alien. Issette almost doesn't let him into their house because of it.

Much to Fian's annoyance, Raven takes his duties very seriously and sleeps on the floor outside of their room door.

Just before Jarra goes into the tank, the three of them portal to the California Land Raft, Earth America dig site so she can talk to Playdon, but they are followed. When they are attacked by a laser cutter, Raven is seriously injured and should have died, but Military Security was immediately notified, retrieved him, and got him into a tank in time to save his life.

It is announced that Raven will be going to Fortuna as part of Playdon's excavation team as the Military desperately needs officers that know how to excavate ruins.

*I’ll Be Right Here Waiting* is told from Fian's POV. When Jarra has to go into a tank for just a day, Fian is in despair even though he knows her injuries are minor. When General Riak Torrek orders him to get out of his impact suit and get something to eat while Jarra is in surgery before being tanked, Torrek has to get Raven to threaten him before he goes. Raven and Fian have become very good friends by this time.
