Andromedan Orbiting Operations Center (and offworld adventures)

Cosmos:”I’d like that actually”

After a short while, the intercom blared to life.

Aldebaran Cats: "The casks are in Loading Bay Three, boss."

Tsathoggua: "Well, there's your alcohol. I never thought I'd find myself doing this in trillions of realities - my focus on booze leaves me out of most interstellar politics - but I'm rooting for your success."

"Come on, Cosmos. Let's take our haul and get back to Ahrakas' ship. I plan to bring the High Imperator and the other Architects when we can be here on our own terms."

 

[Baron Tredegar]

"I don't think that will be an issue. Ahrakas, got a few ship designs at the Imperial Palace like that?"

Yes we do, from all eras and worlds actually. Including a few anomalous ones from time travelers weve had to detain.

It was at this point that Cooper and Cosmos would have returned from their Aldebaran field trip, hauling several casks of alcohol.

"If the blueprints are also in this ship's database, show them a few designs, Ahrakas. Let them see what one suits them."

Cooper found a place to set the casks down.

"These casks are off limits until our main targets are dealt with, by the way."

*Cosmos sighs* Cosmos:”Starting to regret sleeping for 60 realities”

"Don't."

Pavlin's telepathic voice intruded.

"Hastur, Izrador, and Morgoth are older than Khamul was. I do not believe they predate you, I don't even know if they predate this round of bindings for us... but whatever they planned has been in motion way longer than 60 realities. We've apparently been gaslit on them a long time."

Meanwhile, Cosmos and the celestial dragons heard more voices.

"I've almost got Terra conscious. She'll be in no position to fight during this war... but maybe we can-"

"...Morgoth... Shogun... consolidating power...."

"Terra? Terra, wake up!"

Solaris in particular heard a telepathic message.

"It's a righteous feeling to be among the living again, Good King Solaris. Who's the therapy dog I'm seeing near your location?"

“huh?”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

“huh?”

"The psychic link is returning to me for the first time in years... I'm seeing some sort of robed canine and a few others. Did you pick up a therapy dog in the ten or more years since I was captured by Izrador, or is that an honest-to-goodness mortal?"

“it’s a mortal”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

“it’s a mortal”

"I've known nothing but misery from the mortals for a while... and.... is that the Temporal Imperium insignia I'm seeing? Solaris, what's going on? Hasn't the Temporal Imperium been harassing us nonstop?"

“the war against us is over”

 

[Universe]

*Cosmos passes in front of Solaris*

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

“the war against us is over”

"There is much you must fill me in on. But only after Morgoth and the Shogun are disposed of. They have caused much-"

*Cosmos passes in front of Solaris*

Terra immediately stopped, mentally stammering.

"F-f-Father?!?"

Cosmos:”Hello Terra”

*He teleports onto the Universe 7*

Terra was lying down, Frost at her side. The canisters that had Terra's energy were empty, but despite being intact Terra still looked a bit weak.

"Father... I fear I cannot do much against the Shogun in my current state. I know that Morgoth's cult has directly met with Shogun leadership, and I saw the Shogun's current leader execute a couple of rivals. I... have been unable to discern much else in my decade of captivity."

Terra tried to lean up. She couldn't.

"The Architects... have they come back? I'm trying to understand what could have changed, that caused the Temporal Imperium to back off..."

Cosmos:”Lucifer happened Solaris cleared a few things up and now the war against the celestial dragons is over”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Lucifer happened Solaris cleared a few things up and now the war against the celestial dragons is over”

Terra began crying jasper tears.

"I... I am glad that war is over. We can rebuild... we can come back, and care for reality as we're meant to. For that to truly happen, though... Morgoth has to go. Izrador has to go. You and the rest of the family... they will be able to take care of that while I recover, right?"

Terra hesitated.

"....I sense two new additions to the family. Who are they?"

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”Do you mean Nebula and Sol?”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”Do you mean Nebula and Sol?”

"I did not mean them, but I will want to see Sol once the Shogun is gone. No... the echoes domain is run by a different dragon than I remember, and I don't know when we picked up a god of magic..."

 

[Universe]

*I teleported into the ship*

 

[Universe]

“Oh you mean Firuthi and Oliver”

 

[Universe]

Cosmos:”Yes leave it to us”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

*I teleported into the ship*

“Oh you mean Firuthi and Oliver”

"They are fine additions, the two of them. I can tell already. Universe... you've grown tremendously since I've last met you."

Cosmos:”Yes leave it to us”

Terra was shedding tears again.

"Thank you, Father. A family that can cover for each other in a time of need... it's all I can ask for."

Cosmos:”I found your mother”

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

Cosmos:”I found your mother”

Terra continued to cry.

"Our family... it is all coming back together... how did you wind up finding her? Was anyone trying to do anything to her again?"
