We get announced and ushered into Dipak's office. His people are already there. He has a lot at his table. Not sure if I'd like quite that many.
The girls stare at me for a second then jump up and run to their box. Dipak rubs his eyes, "Have a seat. Apparently, some people still need to get dressed."
I smile and sit on Alden's right side. "I had to make them get dressed too. They were looking homeless."
Nadine, Thora, and the other girl come back to the table all dressed in outfits kind of like mine. Really sexy and showing a lot of skin. They are all black and red though. I scratch my head and wonder if they're making fun of my clothes. Alden takes my hand and shakes his head at me.
Dipak glares at Nadine then rubs his eyes. "Did anyone find anything else about the snake planet?"
Tre stands up. "The planet is old. I mean it's fine, but humans should have evolved far more than they have. With the snakes being there. I can only assume the snakes are suppressing evolution somehow."
I put my hand up. "There's only 250,000 people on that planet. That seemed really low to me. I think they're snake food."
"That could be why evolution is not happening. There are not enough of them and they can't build cities either. They're not able to evolve due to safety concerns."
Victor stands up. "We found out there are 10 to 12 snakes. Table bring up the planet and put the controls here please." Red buttons pop up in front of Victor and the planet shows up over the center of the conference table. All of them stare at it. I don't think they knew it did that. "As you can see. Typical, nearly round planet. However, below the surface are the snake caves. Change them to colors please." The planet turns to about 12 colors. "As you can see, the snake caves never overlap. They do not cross or connect in any way. It's as if each snake has its own section of planet to hunt."
I nod. "10 to 12 snakes. We could probably take out with a plan. It's not extreme. I can't help but wonder about reproduction, though."
Alden smiles. "As we know, the core of most planets is molten rock. It's how the planet stays warm. My theory is, those caves let out somewhere closer to the core where they can reproduce. They would have to keep the babies warm. We're going to the planet again when we leave here. We're going to get a deeper scan and see if we can get an accurate number of snakes. Also, the location of the reproduction area. I don't believe they're immortal and there could still be millions of snakes closer to the core."
"If we find the breeding ground and babies, couldn't we shoot a torpedo into it and wipe them out?"
Alden takes his head at Tye. "If the area is that close to the core, any large explosion could alter the core. That could make the planet explode or implode, or all life could die slowly, or immediately. There are too many variables."
Tre nods. "I agree with Alden on that. Too much of an explosion inside a closed area could cause total annihilation within seconds."
1 of the girls raises her hand. "Annihilation?"
Victor crosses his arms. "Complete destruction or obliteration. Not worth the risk."
Tre nods. "There would be no more planet or people on it to worry about."
"Oh."
He smiles, "The only option right now is to return and get additional information. All of this is fascinating and leads to a lot of theories, but a deeper scan is needed. As well as more intelligence."
My brain faces me. "Would you like us to go get a deeper scan ma'am?"
"Thank you, but not right now. I don't want to send my parents that far alone."
"Of course."
Victor sits down. "Fair enough, the airspace was safe, correct?"
"Yes, I had no issues there. We'll be able to pull up to the planet and sit for the scan."
"Great."
Dipak nods. "Anything else?"
Nadine stands up, "Actually yes. We were talking yesterday in my office about the game. You know how the box comes up, and we get to fight things in it." She is taking my idea. "What if we could make a box separate, not with the game at all? We could put real problems in it and try to come up with solutions. For example, we could put a big snake in there and try ideas on how to kill it."
I sit up. "That is an amazing idea. If you were to come up with something like that, we would definitely be first in line to purchase a copy of it." I give my side of the table the shut the f**k up signal and hope they know what that is.
Omar nods. "I'll talk to some of the magicians here and show them the game box. It is an interesting idea, Nadine. I'll definitely check into that."
She plops on her ass and doesn't say a word.
Then a man comes in. "I'm Dr. Cruor and I've been informed that a blood drip needs altered, and I need to go to someone's ship."
I stand up. "That would be my parents. I'll escort you up sir. Thank you for assisting with them."
Alden shakes his hand. "Yes, thank you, we didn't want to chance leaving with our school doctor. He's already going from the school to the castle quite often."
Omar smiles and stands up. "I'll come up with you. I've seen them and know what to expect."
"Thank you, Omar."
"My pleasure."
Victor, Tobias, and Alden come with me and the doctors to the ship. Omar takes Cruor and Alden pulls me into an empty office. "What was that about, baby?"
"What?"
"Your hand signal you gave." Victor does it.
"That's the old shut the f**k up signal. That box was my idea. I thought of it 100% and was discussing it with her. She stole it and took it to her table."
"Why did you say they could do it?"
"We have seen their magic. They don't have the ability to build that box. However, if they manage, I would purchase a box. It would be nice to have it."
Alden kisses my head. "Yea, I don't think they could do it either. Their magic isn't as advanced. We're showing them everything. They have shown us how to make doors."
I glance at Tobias. "Are you a magician?"
"Yea, I can do water, battle, barrier, healing, and light manipulation."
"And probably a few more. You haven't been unlocked."
Victor smirks. "Well, their planet didn't have an unlock."
"It did, but they needed our planet to point it out."
We laugh.
Alden smiles. "I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually. They seem to have the same magical abilities we do. But they are learning from scratch. It's like they don't have master magicians."
I scratch my head. "I think Omar is."
Tobias nods. "For this planet he is. He might not be as advanced as your master magicians, but he's been around a long time for us. He knows more about magic than anyone."
"That's why. Magic probably hasn't been around as long for them." I jump and land my ass on the conference table. "Can I get some water please?"
The ship dings and Alden hands me a cup. "There you go, baby."
"Thank you."
Omar and Cruor walk in. "If you shut them in the cupboards, the healing goes faster. They should wake up in 15 days if you leave them in there."
Cruor writes something. "Also, the ship will adjust the blood drips when they're shut in there. I would still check them daily, but every second the cupboard is open, it adds on to their healing time."
"Have you been working in the ship's medical area for a long time?"
"A few years now. When I have time, I study it as much as I can."
"If you ever come around our planet, let us know. I'm sure our doctor could use some pointers on what to study. He is completely lost."
"I will let you know if I do that sir." Cruor shakes Alden's hand.
Victor and Tobias go for the shuttles with the 2 doctors.
Alden shuts the door. "What are you thinking baby?"
"By order of the queen, all artificial intelligence that has not been created by this ship or is not this ship, is to vacate to the planet immediately."
The ship answers. "All brains from the celestial dragon ships are moving to the shuttle area."
"What made you think of that?"
"There's no way my ship should have taken that order from him. I had no say, and it was in an instant, he was ordering his artificial intelligence. Also, they can watch us speak when their brains are around."
"How?"
"It's technology. Show me the inside of the shuttle that Victor is on. Volume on please."
The 4 of them show up in the red lasers.
"Yes, the medical capabilities of the ships are highly advanced. It would take a person a couple of hundred years to figure it all out."
Alden crosses his arms. "Shut it off." He seems pissed.
"That's our shuttle, so we can see in it. But the brains work the same way, they can broadcast what's going on around them and who knows how many they had on our ship."
"How many of their brains are still on the ship?"
"0 sir."
"Do they have anything else able to broadcast on this ship?"
"1 shuttle sir."
"That is all they have left on this ship?"
"Yes sir."
"How many of their brains are on our planet?"
"1 sir."
"It's the 1 they left for communication. Do we have any brains on their planet?"
"1 ma'am."
"At least we're even now. And I think I'm the 1 who took that shuttle. They look alike. I thought it seemed nicer."
He kisses my head and walks me out. "We'll return it now. What was up with that look you gave the girls after they changed clothes?"
"I felt like they were making fun of my clothes. I'm only happy I don't have to cover up. I don't mean to cause issues. I love this outfit."
"I love you in this outfit." He leans in and kisses my neck. "I love you in anything though. Or in nothing."
"Would you like to see my nothing outfit later, sir?"
"I would like to see your nothing outfit now, ma'am."
I giggle and pull him up to his room.
45 minutes later, he kisses me so passionately as he makes love to me. It doesn't hurt. He only feels amazing. I hold him so tight as I c*m all over his d**k, and it empties inside of me.
He pulls me onto his chest and I fall right to sleep.
