The Fireteam returned to the World Gate, with another new Dimension Key, which had an image of some desert terrain, along with three spheres, each sporting a primary color. "This one should be especially interesting."
Once the portal opened, City Hawk 723 was greeted by a massive gust of sand coming through the blue rift. They went in, entering a new world

"Place the arch so we don't get lost here." Michael commanded. The arch was deployed, marking the portal site.
"Any idea what this place is?" Mark-18 wondered.
Before Michael could respond, multiple wolf-like mechanoids jumped out of the sand.

"{We're not alone! And they don't look too friendly!}"
The constructs attacked, provoking an aggressive response. Michael initiated a Stormtrance, obliterating the mechanoids with Arc Light.

With the robotic threats destroyed, Michael decided to examine what was left. "This is some strange tech. What have you got, Rocco?"
"{It's not IMC tech, Chozo tech, or Guardian tech. I don't know.}"
It was then that City Hawk 723 encountered the first sign of natural life on the planet. "HEY!" They turned around, seeing a grown woman in ragged clothing, accompanied by three more mechanoids of varying designs. One had a dog-like appearance, and a blue-glowing sphere in place of the abdomen. Another was spider-like, but had only four legs, no rear protrusion, and a yellow sphere under the head piece. The third was ape-like, sporting a red sphere beneath the plating on the torso.
"Who are you?" Michael asked.
"Name's Joule Adams, and this is Mack, Seth, and Duncan. Now, who are you, and where did you come from?"

After quite a bit of informational exchange, they reached an understanding. "Corrupted Corebots left over from a conflict on a world that was to become the new home of humanity. We will help you track them down." Spyglass stated.
"Glad to know that you understand."
"We've got company!" Hayden-10 announced. Two corrupted AP-3 Corebots appeared from the sand, sporting yellow Cores.
Before any action could be taken, Jack unleashed a Nova Bomb, decimating the two Corebots.
"Whoa. There's nothing left." It was then that Mack made some strange sounds. "You're right, Mack. Looks like it's getting late."
"You can understand what they're saying?" Michael wondered.
"Yeah, I can. Let's head to the Crawler."
"The what?"

"Well, it's largely efficient as a shelter. And you have a work space here? That's impressively productive."
Duncan made some strange sounds, but only Joule could understand him. "Sarah, Duncan just called you 'Captain Obvious'."
A round of laughter was shared through the group, but Sarah wasn't laughing.
"It's getting late. We should've saved this trip for the morning." Michael stated, looking out the rear entrance.
"It might be a bit crowded in the Crawler, but you're welcome to stay here for the night."
"That's awfully generous of you, Joule, but we should get going. Let's head home, guys."

The Shadow went back to the Dreadnaught, the Exo brothers returned to the City, and the Pilots came back to the Vez-2, the home of the IMC HQ.
Michael and his family were also introduced to an area that was constructed during the Frontier-wide restoration prior to the Red War; a suburban cul-de-sac for the best of the best of the IMC, located a few miles away from HQ.
As Michael was sleeping in his new bed, Rocco was going over all the data he acquired from Joule's Crawler, detailing K-9, SP-DR, AP-3, FL1-R, and T8-NK Corebots, along with the terrible condition on the Earth in that dimension, which forced humanity to evacuate, finding Far Eden as a possible new home, but something went wrong. An AP-3 Corebot known as V1C-TOR, or 'Victor', betrayed his creators, and was eventually destroyed for it... by Joule. "{Joule is... a tough young woman. She's good. She's good.}"
I know I said I wouldn't make another chapter of this story until the new Warmind update, but I just couldn't wait.
ReCore. How's that for a surprise?
The reason I'm not writing what the Corebots say directly is because there's no place where I can copy the font and paste it here.
I know, I know... The chapter's short.
See you next time.
