2 cycles later, they arrived at the base. As they alighted from their ship, an Elder approached them and told them to relaxed at their living chamber because not all human had arrived yet. Viv and Muara excused themselves and went back to their chamber.
On the way to their living chamber, they encountered a bunch of weird creatures they'd never seen before, walking on four and covered with thick fluffy fur. They wagged their tail as they approached them.
"Are they new member?" Enid asked
Sebastian tried talking to them but they barked and
jumping around, looking really excited. "I think they just an animal."
Shanna walked closer towards them, suddenly they jumped on to her, knocking her down and began licking her face. Sebastian tried to helped Shanna, but he too was about to be getting knocked down by them.
"Sit!" suddenly a Gypherian shouted at them, Sebastian confused and told the other to sat down on the floor. The Gypherian was bewildered seeing them sat down and laughed. "Not you!"
Sebastian noticed the creatures were now sat and waging their tail, the gypherian gave them each a treat. She then explained that they were called Lileapu, and they were a companion animal.
"We were still training them," she said "but they bolted out from their room as soon as we forgot to closed the door." She then ordered the Lileapu to followed her, they ran around her leg.
Enid gave Shanna a napkin. "They're so cute, i want one!" said Shanna while wiping her face.
"As long they doesn't jumped on us like that." said Alexander
They continued walking towards their living chamber. As they entered their chamber, Sebastian saw there were a playground at the garden, with children running around while being cared by the drones.
"Sebastian!" Someone called him.
Sebastian looked around and saw Widodo walked towards him, he still looked the same even though it's been 156 cycles since they last met. "Sir Widodo! Long time no see, sir!"
"Look at you, and that beard, i thought i'm hallucinating and saw William." said Widodo, he suddenly looked sad "I heard of his passing 23 cycles ago."
"Yes sir," said Sebastian "Elder Su'ud told me that he was in peace on his last day."
"I see.."
"By the way, how's your granddaughter? i heard she was given her own team."
"She's doing great." said Widodo " It was hard to let her go.. but i am proud of-"
"Hey! Widodo!" shouted a man who just entered
the chamber, he quickly approached them and punched Widodo's shoulder. "You haven't change a bit."
"Childish as ever, Wanxue." said Widodo rubbing his shoulder, Wanxue laughed.
Sebastian recognized him, he was one of the elderly who volunteered to received the implant.
"Anyway, have you seen Rasyid, Suzie and MD?" Widodo asked
"Haven't seen them, maybe still on the way. So.. whose your friend he-" Wanxue eyes widen when he looked at Sebastian. "Woah! William?"
"That's Sebastian, his son."
"Almost gave me a heart attack, i thought i saw his ghost. He really does looks like him."
"it's nice to meet you sir." said Sebastian. Wanxue shook Sebastian's hand and the other.
"Heh, he just like him back when he just became your assistant." said Wanxue. "Anyway, i got these drink from a planet called Garmeut. Come on, lets go to the cafetaria." Wanxue urged at Widodo, He looked at Sebastian and his companion. "You too want to join? i still got plenty." he smiled.
Sebastian, Enid and Shanna declined, but the other decided to joined.
"Nice! come on!" said Wanxue as he pushed Widodo to the gate.
"Alright, alright..." said Widodo. Rob, Santi, Travis and Alexander followed them.
Sebastian went to his room after parting with Enid and Shanna. Sebastian turned on the light, he looked at his room, "It's been a while.." he murmured. He put down his bag and lied on his bed, the last time he's here was when they attended Pulkth's funeral 95 cycles ago. Sebastian closed his eyes, wondering why they were all called back to the base.
While they waited for the other human to arrived at the base, Sebastian and his team spent their time helped teaching the younger children, although it was difficult because some of those children kept running around the base, Elder Su'ud wasn't helping either, he purposely gave them more obscured location to hide, thankfuly the Lileapu helped them found those childrens.
Finally after 4 rings, all human had gathered at the base.
Sebastian was surprised seeing their number grew significantly. Sebastian saw
widodo's grandaughter introducing his boyfriend to Widodo. Widodo was smiling at
the boyfriend, but even at the distance, Sebastian could felt a menacing aura eminating from him, the boyfriend was trembling.
A plink later, they were told to gathered at the cafetaria. There Elder Su'ud revealed his true intention of why they recruited human. He wanted to sent them to another galaxy called Sa Ver'tu. The monitor in the cafetaria now shown a blue spiral galaxy which according to Elder Su'ud, was 45x bigger than this galaxy. There, they were tasked to established an independent division of the Watcher.
There were a commotion among human but Sebastian could heard their exitement. Elder Su'ud raised his hand, the commotion stopped. Elder Su'ud explained that their original plan were to waited until they found new members to accompanied human, but seeing human population already a third of the total number of all the Watcher, they considered human alone was sufficed.
The monitor then showed them a humoungous spaceship parked besides the base. Sebastian recognized it, it's their old ship, or maybe a replica of it because it's way bigger. Elder Su'ud motioned at human to followed him to the hangar. Because the ship was too big for the base hangar, they had to traveled there using the transport craft.
