Thank you to rocket rover. She/he really helped get my confidence in this fic back. They left a lovely review and is the reason why this chapter is even happening before February.

Morgan pov

This was it. The machine was complete, or at least as much as it could be at this point. The machine could hypothetically bind the wraith together and stop its splitting abilities. I'm not sure how we are supposed to get this hulking machine a sample but to be honest i'm just happy that Flame would stop hounding me for a solution.

"You." I spoke to a yellow. They looked at me with slight shock and nodded. "Go tell Flame that the machine is built but we need a sample." I spoke fast but clear. "What are you waiting for? Go!" I said after a few seconds of the pikmin's gaping. The yellow yelped and ran down the stairs leading to the main room.

"You should try being nicer. It's fun." Spoke a presence behind me. I turned to see it was only Ivy.

"Are you implying that you're nice" I said with humor dripping from my voice. I practically snorted at the thought. Our Ivy nice? Unlikely.

"Yes, I'll have you know that I am the picture of kindness." She said, the affect of the joke ruined slightly by a small fit of laughter.

"If you choose to be delusional, that is your choice." I said with as much sarcasm as I could muster. She rolled her big red eyes. Suddenly she stood up straight.

"Well I best be going. Flames coming and I am not really in the mood to deal with him " She chirped as she zoomed off with speed only a white pikmin could manage. I wondered how she would know this than I remembered those big red eyes. The same ones that punctuated her sentences with eyeroles could also see through all materials with ease.

"Morgan, I want to see this machine in action now!" Flame says. He was obviously tense and stressed more than likely from dealing with the fickle public. The recent events were what some would call a "public relations disaster". Flame dislikes this term though.

"I see you are still dealing with our adoring public? " I said, unfazed by his obviously angry expression.

Flame gave me a scowl. "There is no public. That would imply that we are are split into a government and a public which is simply not he case, we are..." Flame ranted. I have heard it all before, I was starting to zone out. This was unusual for me as i'd like to think that i am quite astute but I have heard it many times and while I would be inclined to agree with Flame on this matter,His lectures were possibly the dullest moments of my existence.

"Are you even listening!" Flame exclaims.I nodded. I slowly come out of my day dream. Flame looked even more agitated. The pikmin around us that were still clearing out looked at us wearily.

I sighed and looked at Flame. "How may i help you?" I asked. I tried to keep the irritation from my voice. I could see that he visibly relaxed. The slight creases on his red forehead disappeared.

"I was informed of your completion of the machine. When will it be operational?" said Flame. I realised that he was never informed of our need for a sample. I informed him of this to which he replayed with " How are we meant to get a sample?" He said.

"I don't know. I will have to ask Kami he might was some plans for trapping and neutralizing a few cells to use as samples. " Go check the raders for any unusual activity and set acourse if you see fit." I said. When i saw Flame scowl at me, I realised i was slipping into my commanding voice. I cleared my throat. "Ugh, please." I added awkwardly.

"Ugh, right." Flame said as wandered off to the control room.

Kami Pov

"They are done work on the machine." said Flame. He walked half way down the stairs "Go check the rader and set acourse if there is anything" he told me this and than walked back up the stairs.

I was a little insulted that they didn't ask me to help with the device but i would just have to live with it.

I checked the rader and found some strange signals from the distant tundra. I clicked on it it and set the onion to auto pilot. We would be going there tomorrow.

Morgan came down the stairs, he started discussing plans to trap the wraith. It felt weird. Why was it that i was overlooked to make the machine? Oh well. I was excited to go out tomorrow. Since the signal is coming from the distant tundra i will definitely be leading this outing.
