AI: Captain! You’re back!
CG: Aurora…you look…different!
AI: Captain, do you know how long you’ve been gone?
CG: Gone? I practically just left! I went down the ventilation shaft and got caught and--
AI: Caught? Did you get taken to Dark Quantum?
CG: Yes, and he let me go, but I had to do something terrible.
AI: Like what?
CG: He made me tell him where Paradox Headquarters were. He threatened to hurt you and I…
AI: You what?
CG: I…nothing.
AI: Oh. I see. It’s no matter that you told him the location.
CG: It isn’t?
AI: No, he probably would have figured stuff out anyway. But now, our mission becomes all the more imperative.
CG: How so?
AI: Captain, tell me. Where are we going exactly?
CG: We’re travelling to Dulcis. You were correct in your assumption.
AI: Here’s my plan. When Dark Quantum and his minions leave the ship, we take control and escape to save Paradox Headquarters and get them ready for an attack.
CG: Wait, Aurora! We already promised Elise that we would save her. Is there anyway we can get her first?
AI: I’m not sure. I think it might be best to warn Paradox Headquarters first, and then save Elise. It will also be good to make an overall stop to refuel and suit up for attack.
CG: That sounds better. But, you still haven’t told me how long I’ve been gone.
AI: Let’s see…to date, you’ve been gone for about a month. Today is the first of what some people in the universe call May.
CG: WHAT? That’s crazy!
AI: I think part of it has to do with how we’re travelling in space. Time is getting shorter, the closer we get to this galaxy’s sun.
CG: Interesting. Well, all we can do now is wait.
AI: Indeed.
