Chapter 146: New Planet

The Ruham alien, stoic and calm, observed the intense stares that bore into him. Finally, he broke the silence, his voice measured. "We will soon arrive at one of the planets where we hope to find the weapon," he announced. "However, on this planet, we're looking for what I would call a control box."

"A control box?" Loki's eyes narrowed, curiosity evident in his voice. "What exactly does it do?"

"The control box," the Ruham explained patiently, "is used to track the machine's current location and any pieces that may have been moved. It allows us to locate the weapon in case it has been shifted from its original position."

The alien's confidence was clear—he had been thoroughly briefed on his mission and faced the crew's barrage of questions with unshakeable composure. But Josh, after a thoughtful pause, raised his hand, his question slicing through the room's silence.
