[Herta Space Station, Herta POV]

It was an ordinarily, boring, day. As usual.

Nothing held my interest as much anymore, sure the Aeon's were interesting. but when you have so little to go off of, your interest levels decrease. And now, I was just controlling one of my puppets on my Space Station, walking around my office.

Of course that was until my appointed head researcher knocked on my door.

???: Miss Herta?

What was her name again....?

Oh, it was Asta wasn't it.

Herta: Yes? Come in.

And so, she did, walking in with a look that said, 'We need you.'

Asta is a slim built young woman with pink hair, a fair complexion and light blue eyes.

She wears a collared white shirt with loose, detached sleeves and ruffles, a black bowtie, and a black skirt with gold accents covered with a ruffled purple overcoat. Around her waist is an unzipped pink and white colored jacket with numerous buckled belts of varying colors. She sports a lanyard around her neck with an identification card and black heels.

Herta: So? What is it you need.

Asta: Just a little bit ago, an energy source sparked up, just enough for the detection systems to get it.

Herta: Ok, and? It was probably some low level ship trying to trade with us.

Asta: This is different though.. The energy level never stopped rising, even now it is getting higher and higher.

Herta: So, you called me for an energy source that is exponentially rising?

Asta: Yes.

Herta: Hm, whatever.

Asta: What?

Herta: It's probably not worthy for my brain to deal with it.

Asta: But miss..

Herta: No.

Just then, her phone rang, echoing throughout my office. She pulled out her phone, with her galaxy-like phone case with a picture of her dog in the middle, facing towards me. She gasped as she looked at what I assume is most likely a message sent to her.

Asta: We think it's a powerful being, like an Aeon.

Now that had caught my attention.

Herta: Hm? Do explain?

Asta: Well, we sent out a small ship of three to go and check out what it is, and they just now sent this back.

She turned over her phone to show me a video, sent by some of the researchers here.
