Kara was sure glad Stern wasn't looking directly at her - she couldn't control her surprised reaction, though she was quick to restrain herself. As soon as she was sure she could speak, she replied, "Very astute, Commander."

"I'm from a long way off," she confessed. "Not Russia or Japan, either - farther than that." She glanced at him, gauging his reaction. To his credit, the man didn't give much away. She didn't know if he believed her or not, but she wasn't going to waste a question asking him.
She faced forward again. "What happens now?" Kara asked, frowning slightly. This was the part she was dreading, because she knew no matter what, he wouldn't be offering her a way back to her fabled home.
