Hafu awoke from her sleep at 5 am due to the persistent knocking on the door. She groaned and looked at her sleeping husband, before dragging herself out of bed. She knew she wouldn't be getting any sleep for the rest of the night, due to her job.

She was the nanny for two toddlers during the day, meaning that she worked from 7 am to 5 pm, but it was a long drive so she always had to leave an hour earlier.

"Hello?" She asked tiredly, her hair falling into her face. She was too tired to be doing this and had no clue who would be here at 5 am. Not even her twin would do this.

Granted she hadn't spoken to him in forever

"Hafu, good to see you again," a familiar voice greeted her. She looked up, confusion displayed

"Toast? What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, letting him inside. They sat down on the couch and he stared at her.

"Hafu, there was an accident on a mission. It went wrong, my crew can't shut it down. No crew can, but we think you can,"

"Me? Go alone-"

"Alone? I never said anything about going alone. You have to get your old crew back together. We can help you find them-"

"No Toast. I'm not going back to the corporation,"

"Please. One more mission. I know you guys don't get alone but I really need your help," Toast said. Hafu realized he was begging her.

"Toast, with all due respect, I gave up that life. To be down here with my husband. I have a job,"

"I know. But if you guys don't do this, then it could end the whole world. SP7 and xQc have partnered up and set something on Polus. But that can destroy the earth, the whole universe is at their mercy right now,"

"But why me?" She asked. She knew there were plenty of other crews, so why would Toast ask her? She left

"Because I trust you. Just find them, please,"

"We failed the last mission we went on. They wouldn't trust me again if they had to,"

"Well then, you'll have to show them you can be trusted. The Skeld is waiting for you at Mira. Just trust me please," he said. Hafu sighed and gave in

"Fine. But this is the only time I am going to help you,"

"Thank you Hafu," he said and left. David came in, looking tired and confused.

"What are you doing?" He asked and pulled Hafu close as she stood up. Then she explained everything, and explained that she accepted his offer.

"David I-"

"Go get them. I know you can do it, and I'll be here waiting for you. Go save the world," he whispered. She nodded and inhaled. Hafu had just agreed to give up her job and her life for the stupid corporation.

Hafu called in sick and started the long research portion to find out where everyone was currently.

5up was a private eye, he worked for himself and took jobs in order to make money. But he hadn't seen anyone on his crew in years, not even his own sister

Steve wasn't hard to find at all. He was a popular singer with the name Sugr. He was on tour and was due to LA very soon

Dumbdog would have to be the last stop, as he was currently working with Chilled on his ship. Meaning he was in space, he might be the hardest to get

Dakotaz was an elementary school teacher, teaching 1st graders. It was a fitting job. He might be the most willing to come back and help, unless he was upset.

Smajor shocked her the most, he was the ruler of a small empire he had made. Rivendell, the land of the elves. Meaning he might not come so easily.

And Janet was a doctor, after being a medic on the Skeld she must've liked it so much. The head doctor at the emergency room close by. Hopefully she would come back.

Kimi was a waitress at a newer bar/casino place. She liked people and people liked her, so customer service was easy for her to do. But Hafu knew that Kimi liked their crew

Koji was a therapist, and he had really good reviews. But without an appointment there was no way she would be able to see him, not knowing his address

Ellum was a construction worker, working on a big project right now. He lead the others and made final decisions over it, good chance that she wouldn't be able to convince him
