"What's the next planet you've got?" Yami asks

"Okay, so far we've been over fighters and firepower, what else do you need in order to lead a revolution?" Alayna asks

"Food, promises, luck, motivation, as much power as possible?" Yami asks

"Right, you need as much power as possible" Alayna claps

"Uhuh?" Yami slowly nods

"So this planet creates warships, all sizes and statures, the biggest producer is for Ultimas, the planet is all for Ultimas' rule, they want him to conquer worlds beyond comprehension, if there's a rebel in there, they're d*mn good at hiding themselves" Alayna laughs

"So if we sabotaged a bunch of ships then his operation would go down in a ball of flames, maybe if we hijacked one ship to have for our own uses" Yami suggests

"That's surprisingly possible, the ships are connected to an internal network, if we can corrupt that network then we can get them to fight on our side instead of the enemy's" Alayna smiles 

"And how would we do that?" Yami asks

"Forbidden Loop" Alayna answers

"...What would that do?" Yami asks

"I didn't say anything because I wanted to go over it while we were taking about Kinera, Hades, Athena, and Posiden all have a key to this one containment cell on Kinera, open that cell and you'll be greeted with a terminal and a canister, hack the terminal with the canister and you'll have the sacred A.I, Fathom, insert Fathom into a terminal in Kinera, you'll be greeted with a hologram of a man, scary, sure, but helpful if you're in his good side? Very" Alayna grins

"So, we get the keys from them and we're good to get Fathom, hijack the ships and f#ck Ultimas out of battleships, great" Yami smiles

"Now that I think about it, if we get Fathom, he's probably the only one who despises Ultimas as much as Troy" Alayna looks up

"Why's that?" Yami asks

"Well, Fathom used to be the ruler of Kinera, when he was, he was nice, and kind, yet revered by all but he'd never hurt a fly, Ultimas came and took the throne from him, banishing him to his coded hell, locking him away, if you can convince him that you're not Ultimas' friends, he'll help you in an instant and give you a bigger favor than you can believe" Alayna smiles

"Hm...alright, yeah, he sounds like he'd make a good asset" Yami starts thinking like a general

"Since we finished that already, I'll tell you about the last one I know about, but then there's also one that's another rumor whisked around through the galaxies, you ready?" Alayna asks

"Even if it is a rumor, we'll have to give it a shot" Yami sighs

"The last confirmed one is a planet where they're storing the biggest asset they've got, or at least I think, the project is named after the planet, "Juggernaut"" Alayna does jazz-hands

"What's Juggernaut?" Yami asks

"Juggernaut is a plan to...turn people into whatever Ultimas wants, it can turn a normal man into a machine, even a dragon, hell, it can turn a frog into a f#cking big Ben if it wanted to" Alayna shakes her head

"That b!tch is putting civilian lives on the line? God, he's even dumber than I thought" Yami laughs a bit

"I agree, a bunch of resistance, but those who comply get a swift and painless treatment, and tons of benefits, those who aren't so quiet...it hurts, I'll just say that" Alayna explains

"...Got it, so how do we destroy it?" Yami asks

"This might be Ultimas' best project that he cares for, if he captures Troy, he can turn him against his beliefs completely" Alayna shakes her head

"And turn him against us...that's not good, I hope to god he keeps fighting" Yami shakes her head

"He will...I know he will" Alayna sighs

"But that gives me an idea" Yami smiles a bit

"Yeah?" Alayna asks

"That's how we get Ren back" Yami waves the piece of ore

"Good idea, expect a lot of resistance getting there, alright?" Alayna asks

"Yeah, we'll go in stealth, then when we get to the machine, we'll get Ren back, rocking through the guards and maybe getting the machine back with us, even" Yami laughs a bit

"Great, watch your a$$ back there, though" Alayna warns

"I got it' Yami rolls her eyes
