Ten days has passed, after Rhodes Island's departure. They arrived on the outskirts of Lungmen. The Doctor sends Rhodes Island operators to go into Lungmen city for the purpose of resupplying the ship.
Rhodes Island Landship, Doctor's Office. 10:00 AM
Ch'en enters the office, to get her resignation paperwork done. She greets the Doctor before putting her sword away and sitting in the chair.
After a few minutes, the last paperwork is finished.
"It's done"The Doctor said to Ch'en.
"It's finally time then, Doctor. You and Rhodes Island have my sincere gratitude. I hope Rhodes Island will continue to improve the lives of people in this land. While I won't be here, you still have my and Lungmen's support. I guarantee"
Behind the mask, the doctor smiled.
"Thank you. Madam Ch'en"
After saying her farewell, Ch'en stands up.
"Madam Ch'en"
"Yes?"
"Before you go back to Lungmen, Amiya and I have a request for you and Ren-kun."
"Request? Sure, what is it?"
"We were thinking about taking a group picture, as a little memorabilia for Rhodes Island and yourself. If you don't mind" The Doctor answers Ch'en's question.
"Oh... a picture, I didn't think about that. Sure, we'll be happy to take a picture"
"Great, we'll take the picture on the upper deck in a few minutes"
"Sounds good, I'll go get Ren first. He's probably in the Engineering Department again"
Ch'en leaves the Doctor's office. The Doctor goes back to sit on his chair, arranging the paperwork on the desk. After arranging the paperwork, the Doctor leans back on his chair, contemplating the future of Rhodes Island as he glances at a group picture of Rhodes Island operators.
Rhodes Island Landship, Engineering Department 10:30 AM
Ch'en finds Ren in the Engineering Department with Maria Nearl.
"I knew you'd be here"
"Ah, Ch'en-san. I was about to say goodbye to Maria-san"
"Sorry about him always coming here, I hope he wasn't a bother to the engineering department " Chen said to Maria
"No, it's okay. He was actually a great support for me, it's like having a little assistant to keep me company or someone to talk to when I'm feeling down. I'm the one who should be apologizing for asking him to do those things, haha."
Before saying goodbye, Ren gives Maria a hug.
"Thank you for letting me play with you, we'll meet again, right?"
