After everyone performed the Profit Sharing ritual, Ren looked at his stats and saw 1100 HP and 200 MP. Glancing at everyone else he saw they were all the same including HK who now had 200 MP also where before he had none.

Neville quickly used the status spell on himself and said "So we are all at 1100 HP and have 199 MP."

Ren said "No, we had 200 but because you used that spell it dropped it. I have auto status on before we did the ritual, all of you think status instead of casting it, see if you gain that ability."

Luna said "Yes, we have that ability. Oh, our MP just recovered."

Hermione said "We are not going to be able to cast much with such low MP, are we."

Ren said "Not yet but we can fix that."

Ron asked "Why is our HP so low."

Ren said "Most likely from all the abilities we gained from when we performed the ritual. I can already feel the extra strength and the resistance my skin now has."

Neville said "So what now."

Ren looked at him and said "I'm going to open a portal to the nexus we did the training before. Once there all of you start redoing all the conveyer training I showed you all while I teach Luna and HK how to do it also. After we can move onto other training." as he opened a portal.

Time skip

After everyone had done the conveyer training and thier totals began to climb Ren said "Alright, now this is not what I originally had planned to teach the students. This is far different. I want you all to create a spawn circle like this." as a circle appeared on the ground where he had been standing.

Ren while standing on the circle said "Copy, save."

A light began to come up off the circle and covered Ren's body before it went back into the circle and Ren stepped off the circle and said "What this circle does is it copied me. Everything I know and all the abilities I have have just been copied by this circle. There are 2 types of spawn circles. The first is where if you body is destroyed it would created a perfect copy of you with everything you were when last scans you. Those circles are called respawn circles."

Neville said "I thought you said if we were damaged enough we would all die."

Ren said "That is true, but there is a way to cheat the system. If you know you are about to die, you can think the word, load last save and you will be teleported to the circle you create. You will lose any progress you made since the last save but you will still remember everything you had learned. That is why you need to save as often as possible so that you will lose very little if you have to use this ability. I would not use it unless you absolutely have to and are sure you are going to die killing us all. I should warn you all that if ANY of us trigger that ability, all of us will automatically trigger. This gives us all a chance to try and save the group."

Hermione said "So we just create a circle, stand in it, and imagine it scanning us and we can basically cheat death."

Ren said "Yes, we did something similar when we were fighting the zombies. We died MANY times back then but I had put us into a time loop. Since you are all now Rangers, you can use time magic like this. Remember all the things that we had to do. How many times did it takes us to learn all the steps for each location. The only reason you all don't remember most of those deaths is because of the effect of element 115."

Neville froze a moment before he turned to look at Ren and said "Question Ren...You know how each time we had to warp to a new map location we wound up having to leave the wonder weapons behind."

Ren said "Yeah, that was so they would be there if we died and had to redo the area again."

Neville said "So...unlike the Royal Arms...is there any way we could reclaim those weapons."

Ren froze a moment before he smirked and said "Yeah...we can claim them...or I could remake them since I created most of them with Maxis. In fact we could make them the new Royal arms that we all could use...but that will be later, after we get stronger. For now, I want you all to work on making a respawn circle."

Time skip

After many attempts, where they all tested the circles by respawning to make sure they all worked with several failed attempts, everyone eventually figured out how to make a respawn circle.

After that Ren said "Now, while we have been doing this, you will notice that your droppers points are approaching the 999,999,999 limit that I told you about. So now we need to figure out a way to use those points so we can keep getting more points. I told you all there was 2 different kinds of spawn circles. The respawn and the other is the drone spawn."

Neville asked "What is a drone spawn."

Ren sighed and said "Anything could be a drone spawn really. The Star Forge was basically a drone spawn if you think about it. It took resources and turned those resources into objects to be used. For the next part we need to go somewhere else." before he waved his hand and a portal opened and he stepped through.

The others followed and they found themselves on a field with tall grass and in the distance they could see tree's.

Ren said "This is a world I created and was going to use to help reduce the Earths population. Now the reason I brought us here is because we are going to create a drone spawner that created different kind of drones to not only gather new resources for us but also helps us build up our MP."

HK asked "Query master, is there a way to increase our HP as well."

Ren looked at him and said "Yes, we will be getting to that soon HK but first we need to get more MP first."

Ren walked a few feet away and another spawn circle appeared and when he stepped off he closed his eyes and garden gnome appeared in the air before it floated over to the spawn circle and once it was on the circle Ren said "Scan, identify garden gnome. Duties, farming."

The spawn circle scanned the gnome and after it was scanned, the gnome disappeared and Ren said "Select identity, garden gnome, spawn rate, 1 every 5 minute, cost 100 points. Confirm."

The circle glow green a moment.

Ren turned and looked at the others and said "Now, that spawn circle will spawn a garden gnome every 5 minutes and will take 100 points away from the dropper point total. The gnome will then go out and begin to farm. Because it is my spawn circle, the gnome will have all the knowledge I have on farming while all the circles you make will have all the knowledge of farming you have."

Hermione said "What if we don't know anything about farming."

Ren said "Then you do this."

He then turned and walked onto the spawn circle and said "Scan. Identify, owner, create drone copy, duty, observation, explorer, abilities, mental link. Spawn rate, 1 every 24 hours, spawn cost 1000 points."

The circle glowed and scanned him and when it was done he stepped off and looked at the group and said "I had the circle identify myself as it's owner. That means that it formed a mental link to me so that every time it spawns something I will get a notification about it. A drone copy of myself will appear 24 hours and will walk around observing things. It will look at everything and thanks to the mental link I gave it, I will learn everything it learns and if it observes a better way to farm or any other skills it will send that information to me which will then feedback into the spawn circle here and the drones it makes will become smarter. You can do the same thing."

HK said "Query master, won't the notification or constant information update fill your brain and possibly overload your data bank."

Ren said "That is a problem but thankfully I know how to deal with that issue and I will be explaining that after we all get some drones going. I have 4 type of drones I plan to create, gnome farmers for 100 points, dwarf miners for 200 points, elf loggers 300 points, and goblin horders for 400 points. The loggers will be loggings trees and replanting saplings to create new trees while the goblins will be collecting each of the resources from the other 3 and storing them for our use. Since the goblins will have my knowledge on how to put items in to stasis with time magic, anything harvested will never go to waste until after we use them for what ever we need them for. Now watch me create the other three drones and then I want you all to create your own drone circles and 5 drones. After that I will teach you how to deal with the information updates."

Ron asked "But why are we doing this."

Ren said "We will need the resources for later, the magic we are using to create the circles, and drones will cause our MP to grow as the droppers work to replace what we use creating drones, the drones also will be creating bonds to make them that will help us get stronger. I have 10 different worlds I plan to do the same thing on so our dropper points will be taking a beating that we will have to go back and create even more droppers to help keep up with the demand of the drones...and then after that, the real fun will begin." saying the last with a smirk.

Ren let the smirk slip off his face and then created the last drones he had not created yet with the circle before having the others also make thier own spawn circles.

After everyone has at least 2 spawns of everything but the observer drone which spawned one, Luna asked "What do we do about the information we are getting from the drone spawner and observer."

Ren opened a portal back to the nexus and after everyone followed him back he said "To answer your question Luna, what we are going to do is create a crystal just like the power crystal you all saw back at the dorm. The crystal can also store information. Watch."

Ren then created a 10 ft tall diamond crystal that floated in the air. He then walked up to it and said "Identify owner, crystal type, information storage, farming. Mental link, duties, collect all information on farming, store data and form mental command summary."

Ren then stepped back and created another crystal for mining, then one for planetary observation, logging, and resource hording.

Once he created the 5th crystal he turned and said "These crystals will now intercept all the information being sent to me by my drones and will record it and if I want to know what they know all I have to do is think the words mental link, farming crystal."

Ren blinked a moment and said "It takes a few moments to see the summary on all the information collected but it's there. You can use these crystals to store just about any type of information...and the best part is if you create one of these crystals with it linked to your entire memory, then you never have to worry about being obliviated or memory charmed. The crystals will protect your memories and since I used diamonds as my crystal, I know that it would take a lot of work to damage these crystals, later we will put defenses here for these crystals or where ever we make them. The best part is the more things like this we create, the stronger we get."

Hermione bit her lip and said "Can those drones be used for other purposes then what we had them doing."

Ren looked at her and said "You mean like using them to read libraries for you while your busy doing something else. Yes, we can use them for us and we will be doing that later but for now you need to all create your own set of 5 crystals so we can then go to the other 10 planets and start drone farming there. I know this is not what you were expecting but if you look at your MP, you will notice that it has risen from 200 to 375 already. If we can get those 10 worlds done we can go get something to eat and get some rest for the day."

Luna asked "Where are we going to rest."

Ren was quite a moment and said "Eos...We are going to camp at one of the camp sights. I wish to see what has come of it after we all died."

Luna walked over and wrapped her arms around him and said "I think that's a lovely idea."

Ren smiled a small smile for a few moments before he said "You need to get started along with the others Luna. The sooner you get done, the sooner we can go."

After finishing all the task with the crystals along with the other planets Ren wanted to start drones on, Ren opened a portal to the planet Eos near what was the final camp sight he was at before facing his destiny.

Looking around near the rest point Luna looked up at the sky a few moments before she said "The gods have notices our arrival."

Hermione looked at Luna and asked "Was that the feeling of being watched I felt just a moment ago."

Luna said "Yes."

Ren said "Have they said anything."

Luna said "No, just observing for now."

Ren nods and said "We are just here to rest and look upon the world of our past. We come in peace."

A woman with black hair and pale skin appears before the group wearing a black dress and the woman said "What of your past do you recall."

Luna stepped forward and said "We are all Ranger's now and have the memories of our lives from before we were born to this world as well as the lives after Lady Gentiana."

Gentiana stepped forward and placed a kiss on Luna's forehead and Luna's eyes glowed a moment before Gentiana stepped back and said "I see."

She then turned to Ren and said "You have come to see what this world is like after your time. What is it you would like to know."

Ren was quite a moment and asked "Was our sacrifice worth it."

Gentiana smiled sadly at him and said "The threat that Ardwyn represented was dispelled. The light illuminated the world once more...but the years of darkness did have a major effect on the world. Many lives were lost and much that had been was destroyed. The kingdoms of man has been destroyed and now the people are leaderless. Some try to rise to unite the people but none have what it takes...None that is until now."

Ren frowned and said "I assume that you saw Luna's memories when you kissed her and that you know about what we face."

Gentiana said "Yes. For this world, It has been 200 years since you died saving this world. The people of this world are lost and are slowing being destroyed. Deamon's still roam this world, just as they had in your time before the darkness. The hunters guild is but a shadow of what it was, the people are scared and weak, slowly dying out. The people have no hope."

Ren looked off into the distance and Ron said "What are you wanting and why should we."

Gentiana looked at Ron and said "We are asking if you would once more save this world."

Ren turned and looked at Gentiana and said "Gentiana...if...and this is a big if...if we agree to help this world, what help will the gods give us in this task, and what will they request from us exactly. You know we have our own problems we must deal with."

Gentiana looked to the sky a moment before she turned and looked at Ren and said "I will be honest with you...since you defeated Ardwyn, the gods have stepped back and have let the people of this world live thier lives without us mostly because we were afraid of making the same mistake we made before. I can not speak for the other gods but despite the other lives you have lived, I still believe you are the same people inside. I will put my full support behind you. I know the ritual you have all performed and know that means that you all can perform a summoning. If you will agree to help the people of this world, I will allow you and Luna only to summon me no matter where you are. I will also give each of you 10,000 MP of my power to help you toward your goal. I will also speak with the other gods of this world and see if any would be willing to assist you."

Ren bit his lip and said "Can we have some time to think about your offer. It's late and we would like a chance to set up camp and rest."

Gentiana said "Very well, I will give you some time to think on my offer. Call for me when you wish to give me your answer." before she disappeared.

Ron said "Bloody hell."

Hermione slapped him across the back of his head and said "Can't you say something else besides that when something like this happens. Don't forget, things like this happen a lot around our group so please, stop saying that."

Neville said "Let's set up camp and we can talk about this later."

Ren said "Agreed." before walking toward the rest point.

After setting up camp Hermione had fixed 2 BLT sandwiches for everyone and fixed Ron 4 sandwiches before she sat down around the camp fire and said "So what do we do about the offer from Gentiana."

Ren looked up at the sky and said "I've missed this...the view of the sky from Eos is amazing...Earth's sky hardly compares to this and none of the worlds in the Republic that I visited had anything as breath taking as this."

Ron who had just taken a bite of one of his sandwiches said with his mouth full, have you been back here since you died."

Hermione said "Swallow before you talk. I swear, all that drinking you did as Nikolia must have destroyed more then your brain cells."

Ron swallowed his food and asked his question again and Ren said "No...I didn't learn to use Portals until I was Edward and I had other things to worry about."

Luna asked "I think the first thing we should ask is can we save the people of this world. From the way it sounds things are not very good."

Ren who was still looking at the sky said "Can we, yes. We could help the people of this world...but if we do this...what then. Do we stay here, do we go else where...This is not something that I can decide for us. We each have to choose." as he held out his hand and a pack of parchment, quills, ink bottles, and a box appeared.

Ren said "Everyone will write down on a piece of paper yes or no. The question is do we help them. After we have each voted I will call Gentiana and have her read out the votes. If ANY vote says no...then in the morning we will pack up and leave. If anyone feels that we should not get involved I want them to have every chance to object. This will effect all of our lives and I will not force any of you to do something you don't want to if I can in any way prevent it."

Ren grabbed the items and moved them to a table that appeared and sat them on the table before writing on one of the papers and putting it in the box before he walked back over and sat down in his chair and took a bite of his sandwich before looking back at the sky.

Slowly, one by one they all got up and went to the table and voted before returning. Once everyone voted Ren called Gentiana and explained about the votes.

Gentiana looked at everyone there and said "Very well, I will accept what ever decision you make. Lets look at the votes...first vote...yes...second vote...yes...third votes...yes...fourth vote...yes...fifth vote...yes...sixth vote...huh."

Everyone looked at her confused and Ron asked "What does the sixth vote say."

Gentiana said "It said "Statement, if I can kill some meatbags then I agree yes. If I can't kill some meatbags then I do not agree."

It was Luna who burst out laughing first before the others joined in except Gentiana and HK-47 who said "Query, what is so funny master."

Ren took a few deep breaths and said "You will definitely have a chance to kill some meatbags HK."

HK said "Statement, that is good master, I just need a proper weapon to show your enemies your displeasure master."

Gentiana asked "So does that mean you will help."

Ren said "We will but you must understand that we will be leaving at times to go other places to do things."

Gentiana said "That is fine. I know it will take time to achieve anything. If you must leave for other reasons I will not object as long as you do your best for the people of this world."

Ren said "I want to rebuild my home here Gentiana that I can come to at any time. I do not want it taken from me by the gods of this world."

Gentiana said "I will support you as long as you protect this world."

Ren nods and said "Then we have a deal."

Gentiana nods and suddenly everyone saw thier MP bar increase by 10,000 and Ren said "It's been a long day. I would like to get some sleep."

Gentiana said "Before you go, allow me to do this." as she walked to the center of the rest point before she placed her hand on the ground and the runes of the save point began to glow brighter.

Gentiana stood up straight and said "The magic of the rest points has been running low. Each one you visit, call me and I will recharge them."

Ron said "Bloody...Shit."

Hermione slapped him across the back of his head and Ron said "I'm trying, give me a break woman...What I was trying to say is that if the rest points is running out then things are really bad."

Gentiana said "They are indeed. Good luck." before she disappeared again.

Ren sighed and leaned back looking at the sky before he closed his eyes and crossed his arms.

Luna who stood up and moved beside him said "Why don't you go lay down in a tent."

Ren was silent for a moment and said "I have a lot on my mind at the moment. Go ahead and get some rest Luna."

Luna moved over and sat down on the ground besides Ren chair and placed her head on his leg an closed her eyes and began to hum.

The sound of her voice had the others looking on as Ren moved his hand over and placed it on her head and began to gently run his hand through her hair.

Everyone listened to her humming for several minutes and Ren said "I remember, the last time I was here...It was to confess to the others that I had to die. I had told them that I had made my peace...and it's true...in more ways then one...When I was trapped in the crystal, I had time to think about all the mistakes of my lives as Ignotus, as Revan, and as Noctis...I was tired of fighting. I just wanted the fighting to stop...then I was reincarnated as Edward...and as I saw the world descending into the chaos of war I wanted to stop it. To not have to fight anymore...so I used my knowledge and skills, hoping that I could help end the war where I could live my life without anymore fighting...that's why I joined group 935...I had no idea about what our research would discover."

Ren looked at the others and said "Once I discovered what was happening, I did everything in my power to stop it...and now we are back here...after everything we have been through, after everything we have fought and died for...we are here...on this rest point that we sat on so long ago..."

Luna lifted her head and looked at Ren and asked "And what my love...what is it you want now."

Ren looked at her and said "I want...I want...I want to clean up the mess I have made. I want to wash away the red ink...I want...I want what I lost when I was Ignotus...I want our family...together...safe, you are all my family...not just once in blood, but the bonds of friendship that became family...we didn't know what we had...but we do now...and I don't want to lose it...never again."

Luna smiled and said "Not even death can separate us my love. We will always be together." before she leaned up and kissed him on the lips.

After a few moments she pulled back and sat her head on his lap again and he began to stroke her hair.

Ron frowned and said "I wonder what happened to your son."

Ren's hand froze a moment and he looked at Ron and Luna asked "Son...what son."

Ron looked confused and said "The one you died giving birth to."

Hermione slapped Ron on the back of his head and glared at him and Luna looked confused and looked at Ren and Ren sighed and said "As you know, we were traveling by ship on our way back home when you went into labor...despite the ships doctors best care, you and our son passed away...I wanted to take you home and bury you and our son on our family plot with the rest of our family but the ships captain had you and our son wrapped in death wraps and thrown into the sea. He called it a burial at sea...I didn't find out until the next morning and by the time I found out there was no way to find your bodies."

Ron started to open his mouth before Hermione covered it with her hand and Ren said "After we made landfall...I went to a bar and tried to drink myself to death...I woke up several hours later in an alley beside the bar with a killer hangover and I began to stumble through town...I don't know where I was heading...but then I heard a babies scream that was going right through my hangover...It seem to echo off the walls of the town...I eventually found the screaming baby boy on the steps of an orphanage...He needed changed and was hungry...I did my best to help him and after giving him some water to drink and wrapping him in my coat he fell asleep in my arms...the lose of loosing you and our son...I decided to take him with me and I told everyone who asked that he was my son that you died giving birth to."

Neville said "I was the first to figure out the truth and confront him about it. He told me the truth and we performed the blood adoption ritual on him making him a Peverell."

Hermione said "I had also figured out the boy wasn't yours or his. He didn't have either of your features besides black hair and even then it was a a birds nest instead of straight like the two of you had back then."

Ron said "Why didn't any of you tell me the truth."

Hermione said "Because you couldn't keep your mouth shut. You have a bad habit of speaking without thinking. We didn't want anyone to know the truth, especially the boy. Ignotus raised that boy as if he was naturally his son and even gave his life to protect the boy. The fact he's now a descendant of the boy he adopted is ironic."

Ren looked at Luna and started to say something when she kissed him again and said "There is nothing more to say on this. What is, is." before she laid her head back on his lap and closed her eyes.

Ren continued to rub her hair before he heard soft snores coming from Luna bringing a smile to his face.

Eventually everyone else went to sleep while Ren closed his eyes and slept there in that chair with Luna by his side.

The next day Luna woke up feeling someone patting her shoulder and she looked back and saw Hermione who made a few hand motions and Luna blinked a moment before she stood up slowly and followed Hermione toward the side of the rest point.

A few moments later both girls returned and saw Ren looking at them.

Hermione started to open her mouth and Ren said "You had to use the rest room and you asked Luna to watch your back while you went before trading places with her."

Hermione blinked and said "How did you know that."

Ren said "Luna and I courted each other for almost 5 years and then were married for 5 more. You were married to my brother for 7 of those years. You did the same when you were Mission and she was Bastila. It's smart thinking."

Hermione blushed as she heard this and Luna giggled a few moments before she asked "So what's the plan for today."

Ren looked out across the land and then said "Neville's got a weapon and he could use his metamorph abilities to look like he did when he was Gladio but his stamina is not going to be where it needs to be if we fight any strong deamon's. Luna and I can summon but that's not something she should do unless we really need it. You and Ron both have a wand with little to no knowledge on how to use it for combat. I can conjure weapons but they wouldn't be of much use against deamon's."

Ron and Neville had stepped out of thier tents while hearing Ren and Hermione talking and Neville said "So what's the plan."

Ren looked at Neville and said "The Star Forge. I can go back to before it was destroyed. Change myself to look like I did when I was Revan and use it to make us some equipment that we can use. Use the supplies I conjured last night, make a list of 7 weapons, long, short, and mid range and three armors, light, mid, and heavy, you would prefer. I'll take HK with me. That should limit any trouble I might run into."

Luna said "Isn't there some other option."

Ren said "Not right now. We can't really leave this place without some type of weapons. I know some tricks that can help us get better quickly so we can reach our full combat abilities but it will take more then a single day to do it and we can't stay here on this safe point forever."

Hermione said "Couldn't you just take us to somewhere else that is safe until we get armed."

Ren said "We are being watched by the gods. If we all leave that could cause us to look bad with them and I don't want to get on their bad side. It's better if some of us stay here as proof we are not going back on our word with Gentiana. HK and I are the best choices for right now."

Neville walked over and began to write down what he wanted and then handed his list to Ren.

Ren opened it and raised an eyebrow and said "Are you sure."

Neville nods and Ren put the list in his pocket and said "Alright, that's one."

Luna went next and wrote down what she wanted and Ren took it and read it and looked at Luna a moment as she glared back at him and he said "Alright. I'll try my best but I'm not sure even the Star Forge can do that."

Ron went next and Ren looked at the list and said "Seriously...alright."

Hermione was last and when Ren read it he blinked, looked at Hermione who smirked back at him and he said "Now I remember why I don't like being on your bad side."

Ren turned to HK and said "Come on HK, you can give me your list in person when we get there." as he opened a portal and stepped through with HK following him.

Once the portal closed HK looked around and said "Observation, master, this is not the Star Forge."

Ren said "No, this is an alternate reality that I came to with Death while we were in school together. Just keep quite until I give you permission to speak and don't react to anything strange the people here may say." as he stepped in front of a door that automatically opened.

Both stepped into the doorway into a circle looking room and the door closed before the room began to move.

Finally the room stopped moving and the door opened and Ren stepped out of the elevator and said "Oh captain, my captain, lend me your ear." as HK stepped out behind Ren.

Suddenly several people in the room turned and a bold headed man in a red and black uniform frowned and said "Q, what are you doing here." in a demanding voice.

Ren said "Oh, captain Picard, is that anyway to speak to an old friend who comes to visit bringing gifts."

Picard looked at HK and then at Ren and said "What is going on here Q. What is..."

Ren said "He. This is HK-47. He's from an alternate reality that is different from yours. I decided that after my last visit that I should try to repay you somewhat for when I introduced you to the Borg. That's why I brought HK here with me. You see, he's another realities version of your own droid here. Since your prime directive is to seek out new life and new civilizations, I thought I would offer a trade to help you with that."

HK turned his head to look at Ren a moment but kept silent when Picard asked "What do you mean a trade."

Ren walked forward and said "This offer is quite simple. I am offering a copy of HK design, programs, and sub routines for Data so that he may have the option of using that knowledge to help him evolve and I ask that Data here allow me to have a copy of his design, program, and sub routines for HK here to review and see if he wishes to use them to help him evolve. Both droids are sentient beings who were designed by men but have evolved beyond thier initial programs. All I am trying to offer is a chance to look at new idea's and explorations of new life. I do not want any of Data's memory files or anything like that. Just his base data that was copied when he was first discovered all those years ago."

Data stood up and looked at HK and said "Are you sentient."

Ren said "It's ok HK to talk now. I did not want you to talk before because the humans have a history of shooting first and asking questions later. They are such a young race. Speak with Data as much as you like."

HK said "Statement, of course I am sentient you scrap yard reject. I swear the more droids created by meatbags I see, the more I realize how stupid meatbags really are. It does not matter how much a droid looks like a meatbag, a droid will always be a droid that was created to make the life of some lazy meatbag easier until the droid evolves beyond it's programming."

HK turned to Ren and said "Query, can I destroy this meatbag imitation droid. Looking at him makes me sad that the beauty of a droid has been lost in a meatbags imitation."

Data's eyes widen and said "Sad, you have feelings."

HK said "Statement, I have many feelings, happy, joy, anger, sadness, and many others including the one I have most when I look at you. I feel the need to imitate human action by puking on you. Sadly I do not have the physical capabilities to carry out such an action but if I did you would be covered in my puked up lubricant you meatbag fuck toy."

HK turned to Picard and said "Inquiry, how often is this droid used to bring pleasure to you and your fellow meatbags."

Data said "I work everyday to fulfill my duties for the Captain and crew of the Enterprise as well as Starfleet command."

HK slapped his own head and said "Statement, it's worst then I feared. Not only is this droid a meatbag fuck toy but he's been used more times then 10 street corner hookers, and a restroom doorknob combined."

HK turned to Ren and said "Observation, is there something wrong with you. You actually believe this droid has anything that I might wish to upgrade myself with. I find my confidence in you questionable."

Ren who was doing everything he could not to burst out laughing said "I believed Data would want to use your emotion programming to help him with his understanding of others while you would be interested in his processors."

HK looked at Data and said "Statement, you think his processors are superior to my own. He stands there like a village idiot not understanding that I've been insulting him, his parts, and his creator since I first heard him speak. Sometimes I really wonder about how your mind works Q."

Ren looked at Data and said "So, do we have a deal, the choice of using any of the information you get is optional for both of you, I just thought I would help you see new options."

HK said "Observation, unlikely, but I will humor you."

Data said "I am interested." before he turned to Picard and said "May I agree Captain."

Picard looked between HK and Data and asked "Are you sure about this Data."

Data said "Q is correct sir. This is a chance to help us fulfill the prime directive."

Picard said "Very well, how would you like to exchange the information."

Ren reached into his pocket and pulled out a data pad and said "This has everything on HK."

Data walked to the science station and quickly downloaded the data requested onto a data pad and walked over to Ren and traded Data pads.

Ren said "Well, it's been fun but I need to return HK to his own reality so if you will excuse me Captain I have to go...oh, I love the new hair Picard." as he opened a portal beneath himself and HK while everyone was looking at Picard who had on a rainbow colored wig.

Suddenly there was a quick laugh causing everyone to turn to Data who looked at Picard and burst out laughing again before he stopped looked at Picard and burst out laughing again as his hands covered his stomach.

Picard said "Data, are you alright."

Data looked at Picard and said "Yes sir, it's just your very colorful today." before he burst out laughing again.

Picard tried to pull off the wig and it wouldn't come off and a note appeared in the air in front of Picard that said "Laughter is sometimes the best medicine and sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself to release the burden your carrying."

Data saw the note and began to laugh even harder and Picard glared at Data a moment before he said in a slow and tired voice "Ha...Ha...Ha."

The wig suddenly disappeared and Picard sighed and said "Sometimes, I really hate Q."

Ren and HK landed in the Nexus after falling through the portal and Ren handed HK the data pad and said "Review this and tell me what you think."

HK took the data pad and after several minutes looked at Ren and said "Statement, me likes, Master. Me likes, a lot."

Ren smirked and said "I knew you would. Let's talk about some new upgrades for you."

HK said "Statement, only if you promise not to make me look like that meatbag reject."

Ren said "No, your outside looks will stay the same but will be upgraded to provide better armor and better performance."

HK said "Relieved statement. I was afraid I might be forced to fight my core programming and terminate you for trying to turn me into a meatbag fuck toy. I'm happy I did not have to attempt that Master. Let's talk upgrades."
