[Oranjui]

After failing once again to find Robin, Saturn dejectedly gets dressed, and starts searching for something that might resemble a teleporter... Though they don't even wholly remember where it last was, or what it even looks like. It's a small enough room. If it's even in here, I'll be able to find it soon enough, right? Right.

[Karyete]

BEAT was puzzled. What relevance did this have to anything? Why was he playing a human's passtime?

Nonetheless, he didn't see why he should ignore it. He knew what the game was and how it worked; it wasn't rocket science. He slowly input his move.

-GREEN-
After poking the teleporter for some minutes on every place of its spherical structure, you notice there's a holographic recognition system. You poke it there, and it starts glowing in a blue light. The teleporting device uses a recognition system, that only turns on by recognizing its user nervous pattern by connecting to the nerves' electric currents. Another result of the neuro-technology advances.

The teleporter is a complicated machine. Years and years of research have been done in secret from society and government by underground scientific research labs even before the 22nd century. It was only presented to the government of the Western Mega-Nation by the year of 2180, but it was considered too expensive and it was untested. The philosophical debate around it was also one reason it was not developed before the ship was built. The technology originally consisted in replacing and arranging your atoms one by one in another coordinate, so the debate was around whether the re-arranged atoms could still be considered you, or if that was only a clone of yourself. Would you still retain memories and consciousness? Would you still be you after all? Not many people were fond of this technology within the government, which led to it being discarded, except for military use.
However, the government was also working on a more advanced version, that instead of replacing atoms, it actually transported them one by one to another location, and rearranged them there. It was actual teleportation, and not a pseudo one as the other one was. However, it has its limitations. It can only be used within the ship, due to its matter properties. The ship's metal, Stellum was extremely flexible, unlike the Sternum. It was so flexible in fact, that exposure to a certain wave the teleporters transmit will bend the very atomic structure of the metal, and allow any atom to pass through. However, the wave it transmits is affected greatly by gravity, so it can only produce the right results in a place with no external gravity influences, which means it can't be used too close to a planet or a star.
It was not much of an actual teleportation method, but a quick transportation method that makes it look like such. Though it has its limitations, it's the safest and less controversial method of teleportation there is currently.

After it glows, it recognizes your memory password. One only you have. What was it? It's a secret. Only you know. Everything starts spinning, and you suddenly can't feel yourself. It feels like you are about to collapse. For a faint instant, you lose your consciousness, and your senses. The next thing you know, you are outside. Outside your room at last. You can see a giant transparent dome, showing a breathtaking view of the stars above. You could see galaxies from there. Is that Andromeda in the distance? No matter where you looked, it was a show, a spectacle. Looking in front of you though, you could see buildings. Lots of buildings. This was the ESTO-24 colony area, where it simulated a real big city of the earth. Big buildings, lights everywhere, flying cars, a few people walking around already... Just like you'd usually see on earth. To your left, there's the building you were searching for: Flora and Fauna Biologic Research Center.

-TANIA-
You read the paper note:

"Hey Tania! How has it been? It's me, Natsumi, your college friend. You remember me, right? We were studying Spacial Engineering together. So, someone told me your mind could be too affected by stasis, and you would probably not be able to remember anything, so hey, I'm giving this letter to refresh your memories. So get ready for a mini history class! From the most recent years, at least. You can go to a museum later if you really wanna remember everything before.

So, in the 190's there was a big war going on. Nuclear bombs, and river poisonings, alliances, ground combat... It was the biggest war humanity has ever seen. Nothing on such a scale ever happened. It lasted for 22 years until 2192, where the earth was deemed as unsafe by scientists of both big nations of the world then: The Eastern Mega-Nation, and the Western Mega-Nation. EMN and WMN for short use. So, a treaty was proposed by the WMN for both nations to leave earth, and each one prosperate on different planets. The EMN accepted it, and both built massive ships for long space travel. The WMN built the ESTO-24, and the EMN built the KLÖV-6. Both of them parted Earth on the year of 2200, searching for a new place to start anew. On the year of 2203, our supplies were already ending, and our energy was on its end. To avoid the ship from stopping altogether, thousands of people were put in cryogenic stasis.

Well. Turns out I was chosen to be one of the people to not have been put in cryo stasis, and was chosen to be the official engineer of the ESTO-24. So, I'm writing this on the year of 2235, and even though we are the same age, I'm 35 years older than you physically. So, don't be suprised when you look at me like I am now. You see that photo? That girl to your side is me. Please, keep that in mind.

I want to meet you on the colony mall. Please, on the year of 2250 after you are back from stasis and after you read this, go there. I'll be waiting.

-CASPER-
You look everywhere, searching for something that could be possibly useful in the future. All you could find was a small metal key. Better keep on to it, I suppose.
The teleporter starts glowing. It seems to be functioning now. All you'd need is to place your finger on the recognition spot.

-MARGE-
You ask your drone to display all the memories it had stored. a holographic display comes out of its eyes...

"Marge Bogun. I'm afraid your drone cannot enter on the ship with you."
"I'm afraid Marge will not be able to communicate without me, sir."
"You don't have the right to address me like that, filthy drone. Or have you forgotten your place over here? We have newer models to replace you for her."
"I suggest reading Earth's Robotic Rights, article 5th. Allow me to quote it for you: 'Every artificial inteligence being has the right to be treated equally by humans, regardless of model, color, or date of fabrication.' Therefore, if you allow modern drones and AI models to enter aboard the ship, I am allowed to enter as well.
Well little guy, it's EARTH's Robotic Rights, am I not right? We are setting off to space. Earth's law doesn't apply on the void, you clunky piece of trash!
"Soldier, stop harassing the robot!"
"AH! P-president Cynthia! I'm sorry, but I was instructed to not let it ent-"
"Who ordered you that? I never allowed Earth's Robotic Rights to be broken on this ship. You and your captain will have to face severe consequences."
"A-apologize me president! I swear it will never happen again!"
"I surely do hope so. For your own sake.
Now then... Marge is it? You and your drone can enter the ship. I'm sorry for what happened just now, and I hope it never happens ever again with you. Please, don't hesitate in calling authorities when this happens."
"We thank you kindly, President of the Western Mega-Nation, Cynthia."

The rest of the memories were still being restored, but this was the last one you asked your drone to record before you entered stasis.

-JAY-
You look through the window to the side of your closet, looking into the distance to see where the UV rays are coming from. Turns out you can see a big star nearby. It looks a lot like the sun, but it's red, and way bigger. However, the UV rays weren't coming from it. The star still emmited a faint ammount of UV, but you can see what seems to be an even bigger amount of UV rays coming from behind the star. There was so much that it must have been a source stronger than this very red dwarf. Which sounds at least a little strange, since you have learned on your astronomy classes that the red dwarves are the stars with the most energy, and that emmited the largest quantity of UV. What could that behind the star possibly be, to be so strong?

Your teleportation device was turned on, and seems to be only waiting memory input to function again.

-SATURN-
You look around searching for your teleporter. In the bedsheets, below the bed... nothing. You decide to look inside the closet. Aha, there it is! You proceed to touch it, to see if it works prope-

You can hear a sound coming from behind you. It looks like something just fell on the ground.

-ROBIN-
The teleporter started to work, and it received information from your brain as to where you wanted to go right now. The electric impulses were clear and sincere. With the choice having been made, and the password memory having been recognized as well, it starts. You begin to feel a little numb, and for a faint instant, you blackout. It feels strange. It's not like collapsing or like sleeping... It was like vanishing. A brief second later, you open your eyes, as you collapse on your own weight on the ground. You get up, and look around... This place feels familiar somehow. It was just like your room but... you can see someone standing and searching for something in the closet...

This person... You can recognize that hair from somewhere... Is it that one? You cannot be sure. You look briefly at their left arm. It's a body integrated synthesizer, one that you know only one person in the universe has. All of the evidence could only lead to one conclusion: You are in Saturn's room!

-BEAT-
The screen switches once again:

Started by the noise, Saturn quickly glances over their shoulder, with the teleporter still in hand. It takes a moment to register, but suddenly Saturn's eyes start welling with tears. Is it really you?... "Robin!..?!" Saturn whirls around and rushes forward for a one-armed embrace. The teleporter drops to the floor.

[Harmless]

Much better.

With everything in his pockets, he proceeds to activate the teleporter.

[Zunar]

"Hmm, a teleporter, eh? The question is, where to go to... Perhaps there's a library of some sort here? That would be handy. I could catch up on the events I've missed."

Jay grips his teleporter, thoughts of his desired destination in mind.

[Megar]

Green looks at the city around him, mildly impressed at least. Turning towards the research center hestares blankly at it for a moment. Then he develops a wide smile and begins skipping to the building, visibly excited.

[Karyete]

BEAT was focused. He didn't intend to lose, and made his move.

Tania keeps the Real Paper Note.

If there's an exit, Tania will leave the room now.

[l.m]

After Robin regains his state of conscience, he glances around trying to situate himself, until he sees Saturn. In a deep state of disbelief, he anxiously asks: Saturn...? Is it really you?

His eyes fixed on Saturn, tears stream down his cheeks the more Robin realizes how much he had missed them. As he leans in for a heartfelt hug, he realized he hadn't put on any clothes. Embarrassed, he backs down, and his cheeks blush when Saturn goes for a one armed hug.

Um... I'll just go back and get something to wear, hold on a second-

Trying to ignore his current physical state, Robin nervously presses some buttons on the teleporter to go back to his room... But for some reason it doesn't work.
