Astronomus and Zentreya stare at multiple screens running large streams of data running across them.
"It's been 2 hours since you started that algorithm, how long will this take." asked Astronomus.
"I don't know but it's followed their path to about 32 systems and counting, we can find where their path ends before the end of the day tomorrow." Said Zentreya, "By the way, how is Astronia holding up? I haven't heard from her in a few days." Astronomus then turns to her and says,
"She made plans to come back later today, also she wanted me to tell you not to overwork yourself on this." Zentreya smiled,
"Me? Overworked? Never."
Astronomus laughed. "Alright, i'm going out to the raided warehouses to find any clues on this. Call me if anything pops up while I'm out." he said.
Zentreya nodded and turned back to the computer.

"Bring in the next subject for testing."a voice in a british accent said, two lab assistants escorted a boy into the room.
"Thank you, please sit."a man in a lab coat gestures to a large steel plated chair in the room. The boy reluctantly approaches the chair and takes a seat.
"You are designated as J-1267, from the mining colony on Draxus 4 correct?".
The boy opens his mouth "Y-Yes."
The man scrolls through a data pad and pulls up a file."Have you been eating your daily meal?" he asked
"Yes." said the boy.
"Last question, do you know why you're here?"
"All I know is I'm not here for a checkup." The man looks up from his tablet,
"Why would a slave like you think that."
"I've seen other slaves being taken from the mines, all of them young and weaker than the rest and I just so happen to be one of them. They never came back to mine. I suspected they probably died. Seeing this place, they could have, or they still live somewhere. I have seen only medical equipment here. Only weapons are held by the guards outside and I'm in here and still alive."
The man set down his tablet and pulled open a draw and started digging through it.
"You are a bright young lad." he pulls out a small remote and presses a button, clamps suddenly come out of the chair and binds the boy. "I hope the mind of yours doesn't break." he presses the button again and a device with a needle pops out of the ceiling and injects the boy's arm.
MrDevus shoots up from his sleep and looks around him. He takes a breath of relief as he realizes that he is still on the ship, sitting in the pilot seat. He looks over to see Iron Mouse sleeping in the back. He returns his gaze to the view of the space outside and mutters under his breath. "I wish this was a dream."
He then turns on the navigation console. He wonders to himself where they are in the galaxy? No,the universe. He thinks for a moment about all the time he spent in his prison and then he remembered about the data pad he stole from the guard. He frantically removes his harness and rushes to the bag.
He rummages for a little while until he finds the pad. After turning it on the rummages through it and finds a note saying,
"Remember if you want to leave the system ask the captain." He looks for a moment in disbelief. This couldn't be the only option. There has to be another way. He looks at Iron Mouse.
"We can't take on the captain," he said to himself,
"Maybe we can get something from his quarters though. It's risky but we don't have much choice." MrDevus puts the pad in his pocket and starts thinking of a plan to get back inside.

Melody Steps out onto the roof and checks for other people and cameras she spots none. She pulls out an encrypted data pad with only one contact. She calls the number and the person on the other end speaks,
"Report."
Melody smiles "The current governments of both the Nuxian Technocracy and the Astro-Devlorian empire are in disarray; they grow desperate for the location and identity of their 'terrorist'. The War master and his second are currently the first to make progress in the search. I have no doubt they'll find the location. But they are still unaware every step that they take in this search will lead them closer to their end. Tell the Supreme Leader to prepare her legions, soon our enemies will become vulnerable." the person on the other end responded,
"Good work, the Supreme Leader will be pleased to hear this."
Melody hangs up. And sits down to enjoy the view.
"Soon she can see it too."
