Kristina was transfixed by the view outside. The blue crescent with the sun shining across the edge and lighting up the cloud top. The sight was magical to her. She watched as the last rays of sunlight hit the cloud tops sending beams of orange light across the evening sky. She looked out the opposite window and could see stars shining bright in the night sky. She turned back to the sun side watching the sun as it started to sink behind the planet.

   It was at this point the Raven flew straight over a SETI installation. One of the scientists was looking at the data coming in from the huge radio telescope outside. The random data kept scrolling up the screen and he totally failed to notice that a couple of digits had repeated eight times in a row. Which was a shame as he had spent the last ten years of his life working there looking for it. He got up and went to make a cup of tea checking on the way to see if there were any interesting snacks in the vending machine. He went for a bar of chocolate.

   The Raven thundered through the thin upper atmosphere. Down below the humans were totally oblivious to its existence including the ones looking up. NASA was talking to the International Space Station and got a bit of a squeak on the audio. NORAD totally failed to see them and an amateur astronomer thought for a moment he had found a new black hole.
