Once Celeste arrived at the base , she quickly dove into her work .
The Al – human combat drill required data support to improve .
The day after her arrival , another round of Al – human combat drill was scheduled .
That evening , Celeste headed to the cafeteria quite late .
By the time she got there , the cafeteria was almost empty .
She had just grabbed her meal and was about to sit down when she noticed Caleb , who had also gotten his food . Pausing for a moment , Caleb smiled and walked toward Celeste . “ When did you get here ? ”
“ Yesterday , ” Celeste replied . “ Just finished training ? ”
“ Yeah , the training load’s pretty heavy this year . ”
The future of air combat would no longer just be a battle between humans – it would be a fight between humans and machines .
So , the way pilots were being trained and how they approached combat had changed quite a bit over the past few years .
“ Was it stressful ? ” she asked .
AI had incredible computing and data – analysis abilities , allowing it to quickly spot an opponent’s weaknesses and come up with counter – strategies . Its response times and accuracy were far beyond what humans could do .
Even someone as experienced and sharp as Caleb would feel the pressure in a fight against AI .
Caleb smiled and uttered , “ It was , but it’s also pushing us pilots to improve . ”
Since AI could simulate a wide range of complex battle scenarios , pilots were getting more realistic and well- rounded training , which helped them grow .
“ You’ve worked hard , ” Celeste remarked .
“ You researchers put in just as much effort as we do , ” Caleb responded . Then , he noticed that while Celeste ate politely , she wasn’t exactly taking her time .
Hence , he asked , “ You’ll be heading back to work soon , right ? ”
“ Yeah . ”
Zachary had given her quite a few tasks , so she was really busy .
As soon as she finished speaking , her phone buzzed .
It was a text from Zachary , asking her to head straight back to the Research and Development department .
She set her utensils aside and stood up . “ I’ve got to go now you can take your time . ”
Caleb nodded . “ Alright . See you . ”
This time , Celeste left the base a little past 10:00 am on Sunday .
After arriving home , she checked her phone and saw that both Jordyn and Gideon had called her .

She only called Gideon back .
Gideon teased her for being heartless , saying that if he didnt contact her , she wouldn’t bother to visit .

Celeste knew she owed him an apology , so she changed into a fresh set of clothes , grabbed her car keys , and left .
When she drove into the Yuvenhart manor , she saw that Trevor’s car was parked in the yard .
She averted her gaze . Just as she stepped out of the car , Jordyn – hearing the sound of Celeste’s car – came rushing out and jumped into her arms .
“ Mom ! ”
It had been almost a month since Celeste had seen Jordyn .
She gently caressed Jordyn’s hair . “ When did you get here , p ? ”
Jordyn had missed Celeste so much after being apart for so long . She grabbed her hand tightly , beaming , “ Just now ! ”
Celeste , holding Jordyn’s hand , stepped inside and saw Trevor and Gideon sitting on the couch , sipping tea .
She didn’t see Wynn , though .
When Gideon saw her , he smiled , gesturing for her to join them . “ You’re here , Cel . Come on over and take a seat . ”
Trevor glanced at her as well .
However , after a quick glance , he looked away .
Celeste sat down beside Gideon and greeted him ..
Gideon smiled , taking a good look at her . Seconds later , he frowned . “ You’ve lost weight again . ”
At the base , she often skipped meals due to her busy work , and she had indeed lost a few pounds .
Before she could reply , Trevor poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her .
Celeste didn’t say anything . She simply nodded as a gesture of appreciation .
Gideon remarked , “ Someone sent me two top – grade lobsters the other day . How would you like it , Cel ? I’ll have someone cook it up for you . ”
Celeste picked up her cup of tea and took a sip . The fresh , clear tea went down smoothly . Just as she was about to speak , Trevor chimed in teasingly , “ Why didn’t you ask me ? You’re so biased , Mr. Yuvenhart Senior . ”
