It was Tobi's first time in space.

He had thrown up multiple times, in the last last hour.

The shuttle was going too fast and he wasn't used to it.

Using warp engines, their ship had made it to a middle point between the far side of the moon and the near side.

It seemed like they were floating above a crater.

"What are we looking at?"

Tobi asked, still trying to recover.

Osei was quiet, still unsure where this was going.

Sarah giggled.

"Just wait a moment."

As she finished her sentence, nano technology tinier than fleas, seemingly appeared out of of thin air.

They split apart to leave a square opening big enough for the shuttle to fly through.

Bright lights beamed on them, as they flew into a construction zone.

They flew over a massive, but ancient futuristic-looking ship.

Draped in red and gold, with a royal banner on it.

There were basic androids working all over it.

Osei yelled out, nearly breaking down into tears.

"How... how did you find this?"

Sarah smiled.

"I have your memories, remember? It seems as though Atlas did not care, for what was left...."

It was the Aratris.

Beat up, but still in good condition.

"... After he picked you up 20 years ago... I went out and scavenged everything I could. Broke down the other space ships... Won lots of easy bets online, using Tobi's credit card."

She gives him a playful smile.

"Then got to work repairing Aratris and building our headquarters."

The brothers were shocked by what she had been up to.

She was glad to see their surprise.

"Isn't this cool guys!"

She couldn't help, but keep the excitement out of her voice.

Tobi praised her.

"This is insane! You've done great, keep it up."

Their shuttle landed at a landing bay.

Tobi asked her.

"Do we have space suits?"

She gives him a small chuckle.

"Don't you worry, the Terraforma is active and it's circulating air around the dome as we speak. You can walk around freely, I've repaired it and done all the maintenance needed, including the back up power source."

She looked back at Osei.

"Let me show Tobi around the site and the Aratris... In the mean time, I've set up a private grave site far behind the building... There you can pay your respects to your teacher."

Osei was speechless, he uttered a few words.

"Thank you."

Then he left.

Tobi was still trying to process how there was air in space, but he overhead them and understood Osei needed some time alone.

Sarah proceeded to show Tobi around the construction site, talking about her plans to help defend Earth.

Using the knowledge she gained from the brothers, Sarah devised thousands of plans to counter the might of the opposing empire.

"You're safety, is of paramount importance to Earth's defence. No  current nuclear power or military power, will be capable of stopping Atlas or any of his children. That's why you will need this."

As she said this, they had just reached a massive room inside the smaller dome that was being built.

Along the rest of the room, it looked like a miniature steel factory, as other androids were hard at work building more copies of themselves.

On a pedestal on the side of the room was a katana, black on the sharp side while red & black intertwined around the hilt.

"My own sword?!"

He exclaimed, raising his hands above his head.

He had been practicing swordplay with Osei, with a crude alien spare sword on the shuttle.

"I made it myself, tempered with a new recipe of steel alloys, it can handle up to 11,000 degrees Celsius and won't break in cold temperatures. I knew you would want something familiar with all the manga you read."

Tobi was barely listening, already swinging the sword around, getting a feel of it.

"Honestly Sarah, you've outdone yourself. This is way too cool and this place will make a sick base!"

Tobi says, content with his new sword.

"Thank you Tobi."

She looked at him and smiled.

"What do you think about registering as a security company and calling it the Beyond Space Force? We'll use shell companies first."

Tobi was intrigued by the idea.

"But won't that put us in danger, if we go public?"

She shook her head.

"We'll eventually need to go public. Every simulation that I've ran, showed us needing to have set up an organization prior to our debut... Otherwise you and I both know, the humans of Earth won't trust us."

Tobi thought about it for a moment.

"Do what you got to do."

She was content with his response.

"Awesome, because I'm just missing your ID's and signatures."

Tobi rolled his eyes.

"Sure."

She brought Tobi to a massive indoor room still undergoing construction, but had gym like floors.

Osei was escorted to them, by a bot that Sarah had summoned.

"This will be your training area."

She said.

Tobi looked around, taking it all in.

"This is way better than a forest!"

He remarked.

Sarah chuckled.

"I will have one of the androids bring you some moon rocks to play with, aside from that, I've got things to do. So, see ya!"

She ran along, happy that her show and tell went well.

Tobi shook his head.

"I still can't get over how life-like she is."

He said, as Osei and him did some stretches.

"Slaves were usually used for war..."

Osei replied as he switched stances.

"...Since they were always in battle, Atlas created these advanced androids to help take care of them and boost morale."

As he continued, Tobi and him began to jog.

"He didn't care about their lives, but he knew it would make them fight harder, keeping them under surveillance and helping them terraform or mine planets."

He looked back up at Tobi.

"It seemed like he was able to simulate feelings into code, through the people he had absorbed. Since Sarah is nothing like the other androids we had in Rennaya."

"Since Sarah, is nothing like the androids that we may come across, it seems like Atlas is capable simulating feelings into code."

Tobi still couldn't wrap his head around an AI absorbing people.

He wondered what would happen, if Atlas absorbed him.

Before long, the next four days passed by in a blur.

The day of the raid had come.
