"Home sweet home," Sebastian smiled, seeing them getting closer to the base.

Shanna giggled "Yeah, It's been a while.."

"Hmm.. there is a new building there," mentioned Alexander.

"It looks like a living chamber," said Enid.

"Viv, are there news regarding new member?" Rob asked.

He shook his body "Not, that Viv, aware of."

"That is odd.." Muara twirling her hair "Last time, when you were recruited, we had a huge celebration."

"We'll just asked them later," Sebastian rubbing his beard.

Rob steered their ship to the hangar bay and landed on their assigned spot. They disembarked from their ship. Sebastian looked around the hangar bay, there were only few ships there.

"That's sir Widodo’s ship," Shanna pointing at the ship with moai statue crest on the hull.

Several drones approached them. Sebastian told the drones to bring all their luggage to their personal quarters.

Barnoul the elder council member approached and greeted them, he told them to relaxed at their living chamber while waiting for other human to arrived at the base.

"By the way sir, we saw a new building-" asked Sebastian.

"About that.." Barnoul squawked, he waved his hand "never mind that, just get some rest.." and quickly left.

"Hmm.." Alexander fixing his glasses "odd."

"Yeah.. but oh well.." Rob shrugged his shoulder "come on, let's head to our room."

On the way to the ondrail station, they stumbled upon a bunch of weird creatures they had never seen before. They walked on four and covered with thick fluffy fur, wagging their tails as they approaching them.

"Are they the new member?" Enid wondered.

Sebastian tried talking to them but they just barked and jumping around, they seemed really excited.

"I don't think they understand you boss," said Rob.

"Maybe.. our translator hasn't been updated yet." Travis checking his wristband.

"Viv, can not find, any information, about them," he hovered near them but quickly flew higher because they were trying to caught him.

Shanna walked closer and extending her hand. They barked and jumped on to her, knocking her down and began licking her face. Sebastian tried to helped her, but he too was getting knocked to the floor.

The other tried to shooed them away, but they were also getting knocked down.

"Sit!" a Gypherian was shouting at them.

The creature stopped licking him and stared at the Gypherian. Sebastian was confused with the order, but he told his friends to sat down on the floor. 

The Gypherian looked bewildered seeing them sitting down on the floor, she chirped. "Not you!"

He noticed the creatures were now sitting down on the floor beside her; they wagged their tails as she gave them a treat. The creature were called Lileapu she explained, and meant to be companion animal, although they were still in testing phase.

"They escaped because Akapo forgot to closed the door," she crossed her hands.

"Carnari!" squawked another Gypherian, he ran towards them "You found them.."

"Akapo! where have you been?" yelled Carnari "Anyway, tell Prini and Enguin we have found them."

"Just a moment.. let me.." he held his knees, panting.

Carnari sighed, she ordered the Lileapus to followed her. Akapo followed behind her, begging her to slow down.

Enid wiped the drool from Shanna's face with a napkin.

"They're so cute, i want one!" her eyes sparkled.

"As long they did not jumped on to us like that," Alexander shook his head.

They continued heading to the ondrail station. When they arrived there, Viv and Muara excused themselves and left to their living chamber. They waved at them as they rode other ondrail.

Arriving in front of their living chamber, Sebastian opened the gate and as soon as they stepped inside.

"Sebastian!" someone was calling.

It was Widodo, he still looked the same even though it had been 156 cycles since they last met.

"Sir Widodo! Long time no see, sir!"

"Good to see you lad, look at you, and that beard, i thought i was hallucinating and saw William," he said "I heard of his passing 40 cycles ago.."

"Yes sir," Sebastian replied "Elder Su'ud informed me he was at peace during his last day."

"I see.."

"By the way sir, where's your granddaughter?" he looked around.

"Oh, she led her own team now.." Widodo smiled "It was hard to let her go, at first.. but i am proud of-"

"Hey! Jacka!" shouted a guy who just entered the chamber, he walked towards them and punched Widodo's shoulder "You haven't change a bit, eh."

"Childish as always Wanxue," Widodo rubbing his shoulder.

Sebastian recognized him, he was one of the elderly who volunteered to receives the implant.

"Any news from Rasyid, Suzie and M.D?" Widodo asked.

"No idea, still on the way here maybe," shrugging his shoulders "by the way.. whose your friend he-" his eyes widen when he saw Sebastian "Woah! William!?"

"That's Sebastian, his son."

"Almost gave me a heart attack." he laughed “You really looked like him. Made me remembered when he just became our assistant."

"You tried pairing him with your daughter," Widodo snickered.

"Yeah, Yue was devastated- ah, your mother was an awesome girl too.." Wanxue looking at Sebastian.

"It's alright sir, " Sebastian smiled, extending his for a handshake.

He shook Sebastian's hand and the others "Anyway, i got these drink from Garmeuta, let's go to the cafeteria!" he urged Widodo, he also asked Sebastian and the others "all of you want to join? i got plenty."

Sebastian, Enid and Shanna declined, but the others have decided to join.

"Nice! come on!" he pushed Widodo to the gate.

"Alright, alright..." he mumbled.

Rob, Santi, Travis and Alexander followed behind them.

"They are lively.." said Shanna.

Sebastian chuckled.

After parting with Enid and Shanna, he went to his room. He turned the lights and looked around his room, the drones already sent all his luggage and put it near his bed.

Rummaging his bag, he took out several trinkets he got from his journey, and put them on the display shelf above his bed. He spotted the old compass from earth and held it on his palm.

“It’s been a long time..” he smiled.
