Somewhere unknown, on some other planet Dr Severus had been struggling to catch his breath. The man was in his thirties and stood in the midst of the vast hall.
There had been a whole set up of computers in the hall, huge floating screens had occupied the room. More than twenty people were performing different tasks.
Glued to their chairs, they all had been focused on the screens in front of each wall. The middle of the room had a desk with a chair, and a bundle of files was awaiting for Dr Severus to attend.
'No, no. Why am I not able to find his whereabouts?'
His worrisome expressions were audible enough to state that he had been trying to locate Jeremy Grayson.
'Where did that brat go?'
His footsteps grew dignified and bigger the way he roamed around the hall. The whole room had been laced with the energy barrier to prevent any hindrance from outside.
Similarly the barrier protected the signals from going outside, thus no one really knew what was happening inside the building. It was an abandoned portion of the planet where nobody ever thought to come.
'He was on planet Nrutas and somehow I was able to track him by the Axela. But her traces are not stable at the moment and I wonder why that is?'
Dr Severus sure had trouble in finding Jeremy now because he was out of their reach. The crack on Axela' cheek had disturbed the signals and now her master was unable to find their whereabouts.
"Sir, the last signal we encountered was from Mars."
One of the men from the staff shouted after finally catching some results from his hard work of three hours.
Axela was created with special features which could slay all the existing technologies in any other world or planet. In any case of danger if she was supposed to undergo self destruct, then all the previous tracks would be eradicated leaving no trace of her existence.
"Mars!?"
Dr Severus exclaimed in shock, no doubt he never expected Jeremy to land in dire danger. The doctor waved his arm in the air and the person shoved a blue floating screen towards him.
The screen went flying to the doctor due to the code allotted to each person present in the hall. The codes served as sender and receiver addresses, which made it easier to transfer the screens from one person to the other.
'It seems my son is in grave danger now!'
The renowned scientist was well aware of the things going on around the particular galaxy. And now his own son had been caught in the midst of a huge mess.
Unknown to the fact that Jeremy Grayson was not the son he had left behind years ago. Dr Severus had been caught in the never ending cosmos when he discovered that he could cheat it to get out.
And thus spending years in the void he and all his team stopped ageing and were thrown on that planet. Having a similar system on his wrist like Jeremy he was able to communicate and mingled in.
It was never a problem for him to rise from point zero because the man was known for his wits and geniuses. Dr Severus introduced the technology to the natives and worked his ass off to make sure he reached the peak of glory.

Meanwhile on the other hand Jeremy was caught off guard by the whirring sound, the walls changed their colors and numerous distorted waves appeared on it.
'Are these walls or screens?'
The concrete walls seemed to be screens with different images embedded in its system.
'Do I even have privacy here or not?'
He groaned and looked at the door which seemed the only real thing in the room.
Jeremy strode towards it and opened the door without thinking about any consequences. He was afraid by the changings inside the room, which gave him the feeling of being confined within a cage.
As soon as he pulled the door open Jeremy was welcomed by a vast stretched corridor, the guard from earlier was nowhere to be seen.
'Everything outside seems fine, I guess the problem is only with this room.'
Jeremy closed the door after concluding and looked around, the distortion on the walls had already been fixed now.
"Let's see what these signs and pictures have to say."
He skimmed through each wall and took his time to study the pictures, which narrated him the answers.
'So, that's why the guard didn't suspect me.'
Artemis saw the pictures of the Martian King and his son, who looked exactly like him. It was a wonder how Jeremy and the prince looked alike.
'But why am I on Mars out of nowhere?'
Jeremy felt the need to place his queries in front of Axela, but the lady still seemed to be angry with him.
'Nevermind. I should go out and meet the king….I mean my father. That's the only way to see how critical the situation here is.'
Jeremy walked towards the other door which possibly was the bathroom.
The walls again turned back to normal as if they had been made of bricks rather than just screens.
'Is it even soundproof?'
Jeremy shook his head and prepared for a bath.
He was well aware after seeing the pictures that there was no way he could be caught, as the invincible weapon they all had been aiming to steal from the earthlings.
So, why not mess around a little?
