In the production center, Apollo went... Well, no. I'm not going to describe all of that. In short, he was running here and there in amazement, found some poor worker, interrogated him for what seemed an eternity, but finally the worker put his palm on Apollo's shoulder, pointed in a direction, and said: "Over there is the chief engineer's office. Go annoy him instead"... So he did.

🥽: "That's unbelievable!" 🧽: "Did something go wrong?" 🥽: "No... no-no-no. I'm FASCINATED! Can you believe it? That they can immediately start assembling the cannon? I mean, it's much more complex than a 3D printer can produce!" 🧽: "Ahaha! That's what 'Advanced Civilization' means. Oh, forgot to say. Wanna meet my friends? I asked Chitsumi and Charles-Valentin to some sort of 'meeting'. So, maybe they have some ideas as well. Treats are included, ehehe..." 🥽: "Yes, yes. Having more options than you already have is... Wait a minute, are you throwing a party?" He looks annoyed: "Okay, since we don't have much to do... Yeah, I guess I'd love to see your friends."

Back at home, I see the picture I should expect to see: Chitsumi (❤) is sitting straight on the couch, Charles-Valentin (🗿) there as well, with his head on her lap. I also hear someone walking in the kitchen. 🗿: "We've got not much time to spare, Buns." ❤: "Oh, what a cutie! Is that the boy?" Charles-Valentin frowns. Chitsumi tousles his hair: "Here, here, nothing to worry about, Mon Cher." 🧽: "Wait, I sent my parents away... Then who's that in the kitchen!?"

Exactly at that time, Prototype (💛🖤) shows up with a pack of snacks and juice. 💛🖤: "Welcome back, Mr. Sponge!" 🧽: "What are you doing here!?" She smirks, takes a pose (still holding the snacks): "I came to slay the evil Dragon!" 🧽: "" 💛🖤: "I mean, they cancelled the classes..." 🗿: "Your plan is bullshit, Apollo." To be continued
