The problems with the Nak's home world weren't about reaching it. Khan had already done that. The issue was with arriving there and having enough fuel and supplies left to cross the asteroids and the blue storm that afflicted them.
Therefore, Khan had put Garret on the job, relying on the Nognes family's resources to establish checkpoints and resting spots that could provide necessary breaks during that long journey.
However, it seemed the job was virtually done now.
In a different situation, Khan would have wanted nothing more than to hear those words. Actually, Khan had waited for something similar most of his life.
After all, reaching the Nak promised to get rid of the nightmares that had afflicted Khan for over twenty-two years. Having Liiza at his side brought some coziness to his nights, but that curse had never stopped raging.
