A few hours later the ship was landing on the imperial ship that the prince was aboard. After the hangar closed the ship had to cool off. While it did there hung an awkward silence inside of the transporting ship that came up from the surface. While outside in the hangar they patiently waited for the external part of the transport ship to cool off.
Yes they had to wait for the ship's external plating to cool off. Back in their galaxy it was common to know how to make an external plating that did not need time to cool. But here in the Milky Way, the method was either never discovered or had been lost to time. But considering the archeological evidence that Jace found in his own galaxy, he considers the latter to be far more likely.
