>>5760996It was good that you caught it.
>>5761002We'll see about that.
And all righty, we are back!
>>5760975With all the bombshells finally internalized for a lot of those around here, Hranata is taken away, Kibito sitting down with his head hung in shame, Zevana sitting by him and looking to him sympathetically, even offering him tea, to your surprise. Tsyklon asks the spider-guy from before, “Have there been any recent detected launches?”
“One. It’s being tracked currently.” he answers. “However, there’s a trail from another ship that left 2.5 Solar Cycles ago that has also been detected.”
“Keep tracking both and leave communications open with them, and keep watch over any other ships that attempt to leave.” the purple jackalope-bot orders. “We can’t prevent every departure, but we can keep watch over them.”
“Kibito, you’re aware of the current situation now, right?” mom asks him.
“Completely.” he confirms. “I… do not know how Lord Eyre will react to this news, but it will be something the Grand Supreme Kai will look into. I do believe he will be welcoming to you all, for the time being, but how long things will be able to stay like this is uncertain.”
“Maple, you say this Planet Namek has the Wish Orbs, correct?” Eagalia inquires.
She nods. “Yes, Namek does have a set of Dragon Balls, and I’ve sent warning to their current Grand Elder, but… are we even talking about the same objects?”
“Our legends claim that they were crafted by the Dragon God, Zalama, and spread across the cosmos.” Zevana explains. “They would bring forth the Great Dragon, who would answer the wish of those who know the languages of the gods…”
“That’s… close.” Maple says.
“...They are also supposed to be the size of planets.” she adds.
“Th-the size of planets?!” Pantea exclaims. “Okay no, no Dragon Balls we know are THAT big.”
Maple rubs her chin. “Namek’s Dragon Balls are potentially a fragment of the true ones spoken of in multiversal legend, then. That’d explain how such a concept exists in both our universe and your home one.”
