The journey to the Ennead Theocracy was a long one. Erich and his crew would essentially have to travel from one end of the galaxy to the other, and because of this, there were many stops they would have to make along the way. However, most of the time was spent in the warp, which was a separate dimension that the Alfheim Dominion pierced into, which allowed them to travel quick throughout what they referred to as real space.
During this time, Erich became more acquainted with his new team. While Mala spent every night in Erich's captain's quarters, it became abundantly clear to the man that he needed to temporarily disable his fertility. Because if he did not, she would be popping out kids every three months.
