At Zenovia:
Charlotte and company has been living in the ship for days. The open and ran the, life room, hydro room, and other rooms that humaniods will need to live. The other Andriods and machines have maintain the ship other optional facilities.
"Charlotte you are needed in the lounge area, bring Brandon as well", zenovia said.
As she was walking to the main lounge she saw machines everywhere. "Where did all these robots come from. This is crazy, its only been a few days", she thought.
"Charlotte am I missing something, were there this many robots when we first awaken", Brandon said.
"My spiritual sense did not detect them", she responded.
In the lounge sat Helsin, General Werner, Esmeralda, Charlotte, Brandon, and Mezzina.
"The captain is on his way, Mezzina inform our guests about their future, i will be in the creation room, the captain has me working on some kind of Giant robot", Zenovia said.
"Yes ma'am", Mezzina said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are in a Mothership from Eons ago, this ship is a legacy from beyond my understanding. It has chosen my master as its captain. He has vowed to eradicate the insectiod race on this planet. Using my own initiative and the time i took to observe you. I've chosen to acquire you for his ambitions", she calmly said.
"Then we are in agreement, but we will need a little incentive right?", Esmeralda replied.
"Messing with the insectoid race is not a good thing, maybe even foolhardy", Brandon exclaimed.
Isari walked in. The atmosphere shifted. It got extremely heavy for everyone but Mezzina. Unimaginable fear struck them, a black and purple devil-like being manifested behind Isari. Even General Werner knew that against this being he stood no chance. Esmeralda felt that death was at hand.
"Master, you forgot to conceal your 'Existence'", Mezzina said. As if on cue, the being vanished. Everything returned to normal.
"I will answer your questions. Esmeralda not only can we significantly improve your cultivation faster than on your own. We also have thousands of warriors, a huge selection of weapons, and much more. Stick around see what tickles your fancy", he said.
Esmeralda smiled, nodded her head, sipped her drink then looked at the others.
"I have been tortured, my family and friends eaten by these bugs, my hatred runs deep, but i am not stupid. My zenovia has a plan to slowly but surely eradicate these insects. This is nonnegotiable, if you are a coward then leave, this ship does not welcome you", he said.
"You do not understand, these insectoids are ruthless and innumerable, the few on this planet isn't even 1% of one Hive. They have a fuckton of Hives, some even bigger than planets, not to mention son of their guardians are far stronger than you currently", Brandon said while panicking.
"Calm yourself Brandon, but Isari what he said is true. The insect race is fearsome, even most Celestial Races will not intentionally antagonize them", Charlotte said.
"Weakness has no place here, Zenovia has already annihilated two insectoid races, destroyed thousands of Hives, and they fear her more than even their own Empresses. Do not take me for a fool, ask yourselves why i haven't attack them yet. It is obvious that I am not stupid enough to attack them without being certain I can either eradicate them or withstand their retaliation", he said.
Brandon and charlotte were not completely convinced but they settled down.
"Sir, what did you recruit me for?", General Werner asked.
"I need a competent General, and I have a soft spot for your backstory. I'm assuming this is why Mezzina saved Helsin, we can also restore Helsin's body, or at least allow him to transform back into his Humaniod form.
"You have my thanks, but what about my family", he stated.
"Be at ease, and please call me Isari General. But I have already sent Xenon and Sarah to get your family. They will be here shortly, they to a one-way portal, so it will take them a few hours after pick up. If anything happens to them i will send the entire empire with them", he said.
General Werner and Helsin kneeled and said, "I will follow you to the ends of the galaxy". Isari nodded.
"Mezzina, there is this mercenary named Jaden Pyrojad. I want him and his mercenaries on our roster, I will send Arobak to keep mining the resources on this planet. Will you need help, you know mercenaries are a attack first and negotiate later type of people", he said.
"Affirmative, I do not want unnecessary risks. I'll take Bane and Zane, the Black Blood Brothers", she said.
"Let them know, I'll be in the combat room", he said. Then he left.
"That boy is scary", the bug-like Helsin said.
"No kidding, we are at the same level but one blow from him would send me to see Loki and his sister", General Werner said.
"He said this ship is older than Eras, that means the AI must be beyond extraordinary, and the captain before him must be a God-like figure back then", Esmeralda said.
"I still think involving ourselves in his grudge against the insectoids won't end well", Brandon said.
"We ready a battle-type Cruiser ship for you and your people, tomorrow morning Zenovia will open a wormhole to your former kingdom. We do welcome you", Mezzina said.
The room went silent. Everyone turned thier heads to Charlotte and Brandon. They thought that this kid knows his stuff, to send away any for of dissent or dissatisfaction was imperative to a cohesive unit.
"What? How could he! This ship belonged to our empire's duke, this boy can't kick us out", Brandon jumped out his seat and yelled. A black hand caught his throat. He felt a burning sensation throughout his body.
"Watch your mouth rodent, this ship now belongs to my master. I would have killed you here if not for him forbidding it. I'm not as kind as him", she said as she open a portal and threw him into it.
The crew was muted, it happen so fast that no one reacted to it. Charlotte readied her sword and said, "where did you send him?"
"Join him then", she responded and a portal opened underneath Charlotte's feet.
"Ahahhahahah, this chick is fantastic, a borderline devil", General Werner laughed.
