I finished this chapter back on my break in October, but it sat around long enough for me to  have to pull it apart and rewrite it again because I wasn't happy with it. Almost nothing happened in it, and so I cut out an entire scene with Martin just to make things MOVE.  I'll post that later as a deleted scene for bonus material. I already know this rewrite needs major rewrites again; the pacing is really messed up and this chapter is still pretty slow, but hey at least they get off Earth finally! (and next month will also be this story and stuff will really happen).
