"Hello!" Ant greeted Dream, a pleased smirk on his face.

"Oh!" Dream exclaimed happily. "You're early."

Antfrost nodded his head, suddenly hesitant to speak. "I have some kind of... unfortunate news..." He said, rubbing the back of his neck. "All the others bailed out, so I'm the only other person joining you from c-1."

"Aw, that's too bad," Dream said, smiling. He didn't want his friend to feel even more embarrassed, so he didn't mention that it was 'Dream Team' and not 'c-1'. He cleared his throat. "Well, why don't you come in? Bad is making something to tide us over for the meeting if you haven't eaten yet."

They walked over to the small island in the kitchen, taking a seat on two of the three bar stools lined by it. Bad placed a medium-sized platter of crackers, cheese, and green olives in front of them, saying a quick and friendly "hello" to Ant as he hastened to put things away.

"Remember back on earth when we left behind all those people...?" Antfrost started suddenly, looking down at an olive he held in between his index finger and thumb. Dream shot a glance over at him, concerned. Talking about Earth was a sensitive topic to pretty much anyone who'd left, but it wasn't forbidden.

"...Yeah, I remember," Dream responded, twiddling his thumbs. Bad nodded his head. Images of faces from forlorn and furious crowds flashed through their minds as they unpleasantly reminisced.

"What if we could have brought them with us?" Ant questioned, looking at his old friend.

Dream just sighed. "Some were stubborn and stayed, understandably. They considered Earth their home," he explained. "Earth was a gift, but so many just took it for granted and poisoned it. I guess whoever is left is just trying to fix it now."

"Or not. All the criminals were left there," Antfrost said pessimistically, shrugging his shoulders.

"True, but sometimes people can come together to fix problems if their lives depend on it," Bad countered Ant's argument. Dream nodded his head.

"I guess we'll never know..." Dream concluded.

"Until we do," Antfrost said, smirking. It caused them all to break out in laughter.

"You all must be wondering what we're going to be discussing at our meetings here," Dream said, clapping his hands together. There were some murmurs among the small group. "Today is your lucky day because we're just going to answer your questions! No long, boring talks." Dream looked at Bad, waiting for him to continue.

"So... Any questions?" BBH asked.

Phil's hand raised, and Dream told him to speak. "Will we be heading north, south, east, west, northwest, etc.?"

Dream chuckled. "Well, we can all decide on that right now, actually. What were your thoughts, though... what did you say your name was?"

"I'm Philza- or Phil."

"Nice to meet you, Philza."

"It's a pleasure." Phil smiled. "Anyways, I was thinking we could head north. While we were arriving on 454-1C, I was sure I saw some mountains directly north of us. Also, I'm a good mapper if no one else wants to take up that role..."
