"Now the reason that we're all really here. It's time for the CAKE." Mary informed the room.

So, was the bed replaced, or did it actually pass the intense structural integrity testing?
When the night finally wound down, Max led her back to the room, and found that it had been fully cleaned and restocked while they were out, and the flowers switched to ones that gave off a calming scent that should encourage good sleep.

Their missing researchers came back down after the announcement, pretending that nothing had happened but wearing different outfits than they were earlier.

[This is the Terminus Trading Company Cutter Unit 404. We are on a technology development trip with Commander Keres Max and Subcommander Tarith Nico, originating from the vicinity of the Anomaly to our Galaxy.] The Duty Captain explained.

If the Galen thought that facing Cleansing Light was bad, they were going to absolutely love it when the other hundred Titan Class units joined the fight.

The pilots after a "short" vr training session
That was a very good way of putting it. It also meant that the problem could be easily solved with a short trip through the learning devices to get them used to the weapon layouts.

His mind was all on duty and what he needed to get done this shift, but the Valkia's mind was all on how to convince Nico to help her pass a level in the VR combat game she was stuck at, while the two human crewmembers were intently pondering the mesmerizing way that her backside swayed as she walked in the heeled boots that the Valkia preferred.

"It's a shame that we couldn't bring the Androids here with us. They have been doing such an amazing job on Absolution, especially under the guidance of Felicity, who has determined that simply piloting wasn't enough of a skill set for them, so they have been cross-trained to maintain and repair their own units lately.

While Nico finished her work, Max took a second to delete the records of their most recent communication from the devices of both themselves and Commander Yuri, as well as the Station's logs. It was much more believable than letting them be found later and still claiming a miscommunication, after all.

Oh, the fun though.
Then the Arisen Army's mighty ship vanished as if it was never there, leaving behind devastation and suffering that covered an entire continent and an ash cloud that would slowly choke out the entire population and send the planet into an ice age if it wasn't mitigated.

The lead bureaucrat hummed at the Tinnar group leader, in the Koleska equivalent of a smile and sighed. "It seems that we have been left behind again while the fighting rages. You can be assured that the Station is quite safe, though. The shields have never been breached during the Arisen attacks, and the defence fleet here is the finest in our entire Empire."

Regardless of any other effects of what she sends, it will be fun.
[Nico, record this food. I can guarantee that the Innu will go insane for it when they try it.] He mentally informed the happy Cyborg, who was busily reprogramming the virus that she had captured in the shuttle.

"Well, if you try, I will definitely make you infertile. Preferably using brute force. So I included a list of future upgrades that will be necessary on both of our parts to make my mother's dreams come true."

This belongs to you.
When she came back out, Nico had changed into a pair of very short denim shorts and a powder blue hoodie. She had tied her hair up in Dutch braids, and she looked like the picture of youthful innocence.

She didn't want to say it out loud since the AI was clearly listening in now, but after the camera scanned them with a wave of infrared light, it went back to normal.

This might be a chapter in itself.
"Think of it as an exercise to keep your System Skills finely tuned," Max suggested, then took a step toward the now empty biomass storage bay.
