Yes it did!
The story opens with Lori missing her son, which was pretty heartrending.
Next they have to deal with their boss Frank, a wily fellow. He is not as eager as Perry would have been to send his two ace reporters off to another planet. Something tells me he know what's really going on! But Lori makes a good point, this is ground breaking reporting! Imagine reporting the meeting between two civilizations, neither of which are on Earth!
It is amazing to realize Earth has a trade agreement with New Krypton. As Zara said its taken nearly seventy years to get to the point where new Krypton is supporting itself.
All in all I'm enjoying the direction of this story...
