Return - Transmutation, #6

After all the difficulties and discoveries, Elaan is sure they are ready to return to their planet of origin. However, there are factions in the Delta Sector who do not want them to come back. Her people are cautiously curious. Hunter is unsettled but assures her that he is willing. Once again, she has to delicately blend the needs of others into what she knows is the best course for her people. Her advisors and preceptors have their own opinion of what their goals should be. Walking on the ground of the planet where their species evolved is an achievement no one expected to come so soon.
And a few people will fight against it to their last breath.
