      Before anything else, and praising their futuristic facility, where our ultimate orb might be hidden? That is a very tough question we need to find out.

      We can capture this facility, make it a command center and even build or upgrade any vessel need by space travelers. Who will think that this place is much upgraded than the moonbase?

      Cool down, before anything else, we are forgetting something, the pirate thing, we need to get our ultimate orb back.

      Guys are you ready for the attack? As always, we are ready.

      Enigma will designate their position:

      Shilver, Chrono, and Queen will proceed to the control panels;

     Phoenix and Machina are going to disable the active mechanical pirates.

     And I will be sniping as a backup if some irregularities happen.

     My bullet can pierce various metals and it can be set as exploding type of bullet. An upgraded design was sold at the store on the moonbase.

      But it may create a loud sound the time you fire your gun.

      I already set the suppressor so that it will not be heard.

     Hmm. How can we able to disable them?

     This is kind of risky but effective, usually, the shutdown system of an android is at the back of its neck yet it is hidden, you need to go near the target to be able to do that action.

      If that plan ceases to function, you can destroy the unit by using your light sabers, you will be doing some sort of "sneak attack".

     Sneak? Is that a creature that crawls in the forest? Machina asks a very stupid joke.

     Stop fooling around and we need to destabilize them as soon as possible.

      We need to recover our orb, this can cause very big trouble if they will able to find that they can create anything by using that.

     I will assign Shilver together with Chrono to disable the energy of this facility, they know more about electronics, and queen will take over the controls.

      Any more questions? And before I forget, although we found this facility much more advanced than we are using, we are going to destroy this facility.

     Why we are going to destroy this command center if we can use it for advanced machinery?

      If we are not going to shut it down, we are almost the same as those pirates, they want to control the system, I know that we will be saddened by my decision but let us accept the truth.

      We need to hurry!  Queen is fast approaching the control panel, they might be placed, and attached.

     We disabled the pirates, shutting off the power supplies, and the machines already stopped.

     Queen, did you find the orb?

     Just a little moment, I almost got it, I saw it under the control system, it is the glowing thing!

     Yes, that is the one, I asked you because this might be a decoy to mislead us.

     We need to move out fast, they might have an emergency supply in their system that can be restored anytime, we cannot make a new plan after this one, I don't want to have a tragic end to our mission.

     Ok, take the orb out and I will plant the explosives.

     Are you sure about that decision? I want to take over this place but as the commander said it must be done, it will be for the sake of the galaxy and creatures.

     I will set this bomb for 5 minutes and then we need to move out.

     This is enough time to escape, but we need to be careful on the way out, there might be planted traps that we avoided on our way in, this is a precautionary measure, and it is better to be safe than never.

    We can make a facility like this so don't be disappointed, hurry up before the bomb explodes. This will be blown up into pieces, I feel sorry to Queen to disappoint you for keeping this facility.

      Let us be assured that they are disabled, they can retaliate because they might have stored energy in their body, it is an implanted program for them.

     Commander, there are too many paths, we don't want to be lost on our way out, and the explosives are planted and it is ticking out, Chrono, please lead us the way since you have tracked out the way.

     Panic will cause us a tragic danger so we need to be calm and think faster, the commander told the team these words, we are a team, we are watching each other back, and we don't leave a soul behind. A quick-thinking commander to calm the team.

      Keep on the track, let Chrono lead the way, we have two companions, we have poporing that leaves a slimy track, and a hybrid mechanical dog to guide us.

    Slimy track? We haven't seen a thing, then wear these glasses and you will see the track, these are not visible for safety purposes, with this device we need to hurry, any moment now it will be shut down.

      That is one awesome track our Poporing did, after this, we will reward him. A very delicious mango juice.

      I saw an outdoor light, let us run fast!

     3, 2, 1! And the base explodes, although Queen feels disappointed about this decision it is much safer than keeping it, don't worry Queen, all the details are recorded by Chrono and Shilver.

     Poporing, thank you for keeping the orb safe, now we all have the orb, and we can use its power of them.

     It finally explodes!

     A disappointing face from Queen for what they have done to that advanced facility yet it is a great decision for it may cause a lot of trouble if the space pirates is going to continue using this kind of machinery.

    Meanwhile, along the way back to the moon base, poporing carried an unknown device unnoticed.

    Poporing, what is that?

     As it handed over to Enigma, this is the main processor of the pirates command center.

     Queen, Shilver, come over here for a while, could you please extract all the information in this hardware?

     Oh I just extracted the information, advanced blue prints of their ships, we can use their data to modify our ship and even the community here at moonbase, that is a great idea right?

     I transfered the blue prints to a hologram form for easier modification and much easier study.
