At this point, Konoka began to get an understanding that she may not ever purposefully get involved with the source of the void. Maybe it was for the best; she was still not built or trained to handle heavy combat, nor did she have the knowledge of how to reverse whatever dangers were pulling people into the void. She was still a student, a passenger, even though she had learned so much and could even run a few of Star Gazer's features manually.
It was also clear that Konoka was fated to be Star Gazer's captain. That slightly morose day that they confirmed that Star Gazer's old master was likely dead was also the day that Konoka knew she had some big shoes to fill. As such, she'd have to earn it. Admittedly, something more concrete to work towards was a bit easier for her than simply learning to survive (and mentally cope, given how she'd been pulled away from home initially and her previous aspirations more fully).
That was why she was preparing for their landing on a new planet (well, new to her). Compared to the simpler ship lessons, this was an on-field adventure, so Konoka was making sure she was ready for the part.
"So, can you tell me what's going on with this planet we're going to? Environment? The people there? And what we'd be looking for?" Konoka asked. This was no grocery supply run, she had a very specific job to do, and for the first time in a while, she'd be putting her magical strength to work, too!
[[Yeah, that works for me. Since she's working on integrating her magic with what she's learning so far, perhaps she's testing out some integrations with Star Gazer with her magic, or new tools she can use thanks to their bond?]]
