บท 76: What's This Futuristic Tech?

The cockpit didn't leave much room for its occupants, so they all simply made themselves comfortable on the floor. Yuri and Tuss had claimed one corner for themselves.

"So, what's your plan after we reach Planet 165?" Tyrone asked, glancing around the group, his gaze focusing particularly on Yuri and Tuss.

"Officer Lyao ordered us to return to Planet Alpha," Tuss shared without hesitation, it was no secret after all.

However, the mention of "Officer Lyao" stole the spotlight and no one noticed Tuss using "us" instead of "I". Only Ender, Daleks, and Kilana picked up on this subtle change and shared knowing glances, finding it perfectly normal. After all, they were the gems of the Alliance.

"My family also insisted I return to Planet Alpha," Hoolin added.

"Same with mine," Tyrone said.

Everyone glanced at one another, tasting the undercurrent of unease. It seemed the scale of the incoming bug swarm was not to be underestimated.
