บท 287: The Grind Begins.

With Olivia and Ka'lor'ah in tow, Lucius exited the spaceship and descended towards the densely milky-white planet. The spaceship had been set to orbit the planet from a distance while awaiting the return of the group after three months.

Having finished her banter with Ka'lor'ah', Olivia headed down to the Hanger while the former headed to the Control Room to check the ship's status for a final time. 

After climbing down the cold, metallic ladder, she noticed Lucius leaning near the exit doors of the Hanger. 

Heading towards his cheerfully, Olivia's steps suddenly slowed down when she noticed that Lucius' aura was a bit strange compared to usual.
