>>5669454The day after learning your wife's terrible news, right after finishing training your students for the day and dismissing them, you receive a telepathic update from the youngest twins. Who have been in contact daily, usually complaining about how the only things to do on the spaceship are to spar and train in the gravity room. To which you and your wife had recommended trying to come up with new and interesting techniques, something to help pass the time. Which had helped them, both kids having their own brand-new surprises for the creatures that crawled out of the depths of Daiko's people's lab.
“We finally made it! We're about to touch down!” your daughter Kayle <span class="mu-i">thinks</span> to you.
“Hey, no fair! I wanted to tell Daddy, you already told Momma!” Maz complains, you chuckling to yourself before addressing them.
“Finally made it, huh? Alright, are you both ready to go?” you ask them, to which both answer in the affirmative. You turn to your wife, who is already waving at you to go with a smile while her hand is on your youngest's back.
“Byeeeee!” Karn Jr says, your wife having turned even more protective of him after the other day's news. “Have fun!”
“I'm not gonna be gone long, just taking a look around is all.” you reply, waving with your left as you raise your right to your forehead, focusing on Maz's energy. Then with a thought leave New Salda behind, appearing beside the two of them. “Are you both ready?”
“Ready!” Maz says, puffing out his chest and putting his fists on his hips, trying to cut a more imposing figure. A moment later she copies him, which looks rather adorable, coming from a pair of 9 year olds.
“Hang on, we're about to begin atmospheric entry now.” a voice comes out over the ship's speakers, your daughter rushing over and turning the gravity chamber off. Then the three of you exit the reinforced area, going out into the ship proper and seeing the planet below through the driver's front. The ship is already past the planet's ring, approaching the yellow-tinged world and descending towards it. “They're expecting the two of you planetside to begin your briefing, save your questions for them, understood?”
“Yes sir!” both of your twins answer seriously, saluting the pilot even with his back turned. So you remain quiet, not saying anything as the ship enters the atmosphere. Entering a planet you vaguely remember seeing.
