A group of a dozen grounders was hunting when they saw something big fly towards them and land somewhere about 200 yards away from them. They stared at each other in surprise and confusion. Then they decided wordlessly to investigate that thing. So they slowly and quietly moved through the forest towards the sight.

At the same time, the commander, Clarke, Titus, and the other ambassadors were gathered in the throne room for a meeting. The ambassadors were in the middle of a heated dispute about which clan had the best blacksmith. Titus threw in a comment every once in a while in favor of Trikru. Lexa was watching the ambassadors while being lost in thoughts. Clarke was ignoring the other 12 ambassadors and Titus. She was worried about her people. Chancellor Pike hated the grounders and was practically provoking a war between the 12 clans and Skaikru.

She had subconsciously been staring out of the window into the sky. That's why she was the only one in the room to notice the ship falling out of the sky, slowing down, and then apparently landing somewhere in Trikru territory.

She made a surprised sound and stared out of the window. Lexa must have heard her because she looked at Clarke and then turned around and followed her gaze. "What happened, Clarke?" Clarke was torn out of her trance. She turned her head and looked at Lexa. "Something just fell out of the sky and landed in Trikru territory." Lexa was confused. "I thought there was no one else left up there." Clarke replied, "I know. I'm not sure what it was, but it looked like a ship." Lexa was quiet for a moment. Then she spoke up and interrupted the still arguing ambassadors. "Hosh op!" (Silence!) They stopped midsentence and turned to look at her. "Oso na kigon disha moron." (We will continue this tomorrow.) With that, her ambassadors were dismissed. They shuffled out of the room quickly, not wanting to annoy the commander.

When they were alone, Lexa called for Indra. As soon, as the woman walked in, Lexa ordered her to take a couple of trusted warriors and investigate the object that had fallen from the sky. Indra nodded obediently. When she asked where the sight was Lexa turned towards Clarke who had been watching in silence. The latter proceeded to get up, walk over to Indra, and announce that she was going to lead the group to the sight. The commander objected right away. "You can't do that. The tension between Skaikru and the other clans is too big. You might get attacked on the way." Clarke explained herself. "Last time that I saw that thing, it was above Trikru territory but it was probably visible from Skaikru territory. If they saw that thing which they probably did, then they will be on their way to check it out by now. Indra and her warriors are good fighters, but I doubt that any of them will return alive if Skaikru finds them. They have a better chance of survival if I go with them. Also, I am the only one who saw where the thing landed."

Lexa was silent for a moment. She knew that Clarke was right, but she still didn't like the idea of putting her in danger like that. She agreed hesitantly. "Alright, but be careful." Then she addressed Indra. "Eni jomp op gon em ste an jomp op gon ai! (An attack against her is an attack against me.) Make sure she returns alive." She added in Trigedasleng that any survivors of the sight were to be brought to Polis alive. Then she dismissed Indra. Clarke got up too, to prepare for the expedition, but the commander stopped her before she left the room and ordered Titus to leave instead. He looked at her hesitantly, but pranced towards the door and around Clarke when he saw the look on the commander's face. He stopped at the door and turned around to say something, but he was cut off by Lexa who lifted her arm to point at the door and said, "Out!" Titus decided that it was better to leave now than to make her angry so he quickly shuffled out of the door and closed it behind him.

As soon as the door was closed again, Lexa got up from her throne and made a few steps towards Clarke. Her hands behind her back, she looked at Clarke. "How do you know that your people won't just attack you too if you meet them at the sight? You have been living here too long." Clarke had been looking at the ground during Lexa's and Titus's interaction. She now lifted her head and locked eyes with Lexa. She too had her hands behind her back. "I don't, but Indra has a better chance with me than without me. I am still a part of Skaikru and I believe that most of my people still won't shoot me. We have been through too much together." Lexa obviously wasn't satisfied with the answer, but she knew how stubborn Clarke was. There was no scenario in which she was going to back out. Instead, Lexa just told Clarke to be careful. She was important and the commander would need her back in Polis for further discussions about the future of Skaikru. Clarke nodded, turned around, and left Lexa standing alone in the throne room.

The hunters had reached the sight and were hiding behind trees and bushes, but there was nothing there. They couldn't see anything unusual. Everything looked just like it did before. The hunters exchanged confused looks. But then they heard voices. As they listened closer, they heard that a group of people was moving through the forest and away from the clearing that the hunters were gathered next to. They were loud and spoke a language that the hunters believed to be English. But they weren't sure, because neither of them knew English. They exchanged looks and decided once again without saying anything that they were going to follow that group of strangers and spy on them. They crossed the clearing and then spread out to make a wide circle around the group of strangers where they could still hear and see them, but they wouldn't be noticed.
