Archiox woke up the next morning with his back hurting. Aristotle, who was Inertia's first mate, knocked on the door so hard that the door hinge fell off. "Is it already time to scout out lab two, Aristotle?"
"Not quite yet sir. Commander Lock requests you in his office ASAP, sir. Archiox wondering why Aristotle was doing Locks errands for him, asked Aristotle, "Why are you doing Lock's errands. If he really wanted to see me, he should have came up here himself." Aristotle, then replied, "There isn't really anything better to do. I'm bored." Archiox was lead down the path to Lock's office where Lock was waiting for him.
"Captain Archiox! I've been meaning to talk to you about this upcoming lab today and I wanted to ask you a little favor. I've done some work on Lab Two for you. Lab Two's purpose was construction and creation of new technology and more ships for our fleet. I've wanted to ask you to see if you can somehow get these ships back to Zion so we can utilize them. It's already been arranged that 3 other captains will be on your ship along with Inertia's. As for the back round data, I've already have had Cross upload the data into your computer along with Inertia's. I know how much Zion means to you, Archiox. It would be in your best interest to do this. Besides, you'll get a promotion AND some payment for this task."
Lock was right. Zion did mean a lot to Archiox. Zion, His ship, His crew, and his friends are all he really cared for. That's what kept him alive and busy over the years. As for this job, what's he got to lose? After all he would have to have done this job inevitably so, he might as well get some payment out of it.
The complete crews of the Baldur and the Argonaught met about 2 hours later at the dock along with some newly appointed captains for these new ships. The New captain's names were Captain Niobe, Captain Roland, and Captain Caesar. As for getting prepared, that was a completely different story, The crews loaded up with the ships with an a near infinite supply of power cells because each ship requires an enormous amount of power to function.
As soon as they got the power cells loaded up, they immediately left for Lab Two.
