Another Side Of The Universe

Chapter 100 : The Search

"...there's nothing much you can do," said Maskmana. 

“I understand. We will return ASAP," said Kaizo. 

End of transmission.

Maskmana went silent. The fact that Axion left soon after he sent info about the three men means that those three men meant something to her.

"Who are they? Are they a threat?" Maskmana mumbled. 

Maskmana pressed a button on his computer and contacted one of his men. 

"Yes, Admiral?"

"The three visitors from Terra. Are they already left?" Maskmana asked. 

"No, sir. Their ship is still parked in the hangar."

"I see. Keep an eye on them. I want to know what they do and where they're heading," Maskmana replied. 

"Understood."

Maskmana re-checked the files of the three visitors. They claimed to have come from Terra. From what Astraeus' database can tell, Terra is a rather primitive planet. This explains why they don't have any official intergalactic ID. Chances are Terra has discovered intergalactic travel just recently and Terrans hasn't made many contacts with people outside its planet. 

"... still, why are they here? Why are they looking for Axion?" Maskmana thought to himself. 

There isn't much information about Axion. 

In this entire station, Maskmana might be the one who knows the most about Axion. And even he doesn't know much about her.

But, there’s one other person that Maskmana can ask.

The transformers that Axion brought with her to this station. Vion, Axion's personal assistant.

He rises from his seat and immediately goes out. He strides through the hallways and hurriedly goes to the control room. 

On his way, he saw 3 men conversing with two Astraeus members. 

“Gentlemen,” Maskmana greets with a nod. 

“Admiral,” the three men greeted back. 

The man with dark brown hair is Valerius. He seems to be the leader of this group. Although the other one with blonde hair who is called Verchiel seems to be in control of everything. Verchiel is often seen whispering to Valerius to which Valerius always listens. While the silent man with a rather cold look is called Zivon. 

“Is everything alright?” Maskmana asked. 

“Ah, yes. We were on our way to our ship but… we got lost….” said Valerius. 

"We came from a rather rural planet. This is the first time we ever visit a big station," Verchiel added. 

"I see. No worries. My people will escort you back to your ship," said Maksmana. 

"Say, Admiral. Do you by any chance have someone who knows...magic in this station?" Valerius asked. 

"Pardon?" said Maskmana in confusion. 

"The person we're looking for is a magician. I was wondering if you have anyone who is aware of magic," Valerius explains. 

"I suppose no. Not in the way you know. We are not familiar with magic. We are more familiar with science," said Maskmana. 

"Ah, yes. Of course. Thank you for your hospitality, Admiral," said Verchiel. 

They nodded and left. Maskmana watches them as they walk away.
