'Wait. He said I killed the Queen of the Star Alliance? If he could see the future, he should've seen to it and stopped the future from coming to fruition before I got close to do it. If he doesn't, that ans he can't see the future.'
'Yet, it's not like I would really like my wife. That might've been so kind of alternative reality or sothing. I'm not that kind of person.'
'Either I'll kill her before marrying her if I have a problem, or I won't kill her at all! Why would I even marry soone if I had no feelings for them? It's impossible!'
"What are you thinking about?" Joana asked. "Are you thinking how strong the Two Star mber would be? Well, let just say it in simpler terms."
"Two star mbers are a thousand tis less than one star mber like ."
" Despite that, even if all One Star mbers go against the two star mbers, we would have a hard ti killing even one before we're all crushed in the war. That's the strength you need to be a Two Star Admiral.
"Anyway, it's none of your concern. Even getting one star would be a big achievent for you."
"Are there any Three Star mbers?"
"Three Stars? I'm afraid there are none. But who knows, maybe one of the Two Stars will beco the first Three Star in the future."
"Any other questions you have? Because we have already reached the room where you can rest."
The man tapped a button before a steel door. The steel door opened.
"You can stay inside and rest. I'll send sothing to eat for you. If you want to go out, you can do that, but you must be accompanied by a mber of my fleet since I don't want you to enter any restricted area."
"I get it."
Lucifer entered the room, following simple instructions. He believed he would've done sothing similar if he was in the place of Joana. No one could trust a stranger so easily."
He needed to win the trust of Joana and keep that trust until he found the information about his world that he needed.
As he entered the room, the door started closing. "If you want to co out, just press the red button, and the door will open. But please don't leave alone. That will be all."
The door closed.
Lucifer walked to the bed and sat. The room seed pretty ordinary. It wasn't like a prison but was more like a bedroom of any ordinary person. There were chairs, table, a bed, a shelf filled with books and plenty of clothes.
There was also another door in the room. Lucifer didn't even get up to check what was on the other side of the room since he was sure that it must be a toilet.
He took off his shoes, lying on the bed, gazing at the roof.
"Star Alliance... Why are things getting so complicated? I hope they find the way back soon. I need to get back before any War begins."
'However, if I'm really allowed to open the door, it seems like they have a tiny bit of trust in and in this ring. I can leave if I want, but I'm sure there are caras all around .'
'If I'm not wrong, this must be so kind of test to see if I would lurk around the ship. What can I even find by lurking around? I don't want any secrets of the ship."
"Won't be of any use to . I only want the information on how to get back ho, but even they don't know that yet. It looks like it'll be a really long wait."
Lucifer laid on the bed, lost in thoughts as the Starship traveled through space and ti to get back.
Joana also returned to the control room and sat on the chair at the center.
"Maya, send so food for the new guest. Also, I want to see everything he does on the screen. You got it? Also, turn on the mics in the room. I want to hear everything he says."
"Yes, Captain."
"Also, how long before we get back ho?"
"Half an hour."
"Good. I think it's ti I contacted the base and inford them about what we found. I don't want to give them too big of a surprise."
"Captain, May I ask you sothing?"
"Go ahead."
"Why are you behaving so nice with him?" Maya asked.
"Depends on your definition of nice."
"I an, he's a stowaway. A random stranger that was found from nowhere. We don't know what he can do and how risky he can be. Generally, in such a condition, you would've kept him in the prison until we found out more about him."
"But you let him out of there and allowed him to roam freely? Why are you being so nice to him?"
"It's not being nice. I just want to see what he does if I free him. Moreover, he isn't any random stowaway. If the initial scanning isn't wrong, then he is sothing we have never seen before."
"He is soone very special. A person who matches every species known to us. Moreover, he is also the one who survived an explosion that was enough to create a black hole. That's not sothing a normal person can do. I think he deserves so special attention."
"So special attention? Do you want to see him beco a Star Alliance mber?"
"No. If the scan was correct, he has the potential to beco much more than a Star Alliance mber. I have a feeling that he is going to reach much farther than we can imagine. Think of it as investing early on him."
"He is still young. I know myself. I can't beco a Two Star mber, at least not in this lifeti. Moreover, none of the Two Star mbers even care about ."
"I am on my own in this organization, working on my rits since I had no connections. But now I finally have an opportunity."
"In the future, if this kid becos a Two Star mber, I can have soone in a higher position to support ," Joana explained, observing Lucifer on the screen.
"You an if the system Diagnostics prove that there is no flaw in the system. If it doesn't, that would an we were wrong about him."
"Exactly. I'll do what's to be done in that case. But until then, I'm going to believe my gut feeling. This guy.... He can be a trump card in the future."
