Aeon and Kyan walked quietly in silence. No one dared to say anything just with the sound of their footsteps echoing.
The Lombax with golden fur and brown markings decided to break silence "We really didn't expect something like this.... The end of Tachyon... Polaris and Solana... The Federation... Starfleet... My brother... Your father..."
Aeon smiled wistfully "To know that my father also joined forces with your brother and Starfleet to finally finish off Tachyon with your brother.... It's unbelievable... And... I'm glad he's now having a good life as a captain of Starfleet."
FLASH!
A bright light pointed towards them as a voice echoed above them.
???: "This is Lombax Praetorian Guard patrol. Kyan Astral and Aeon Azimuth, you are under arrest. Do not attempt to flee."
Aeon sighed "Great..."
Elsewhere. Rivet came out of the forest where she saw from a distance a huge city with skyscrapers in ratchet shapes and ships entering and leaving the city. "Wow..."
Clank turned to look at the city "Fascinating." Rivet smiled "Are you taking pictures Clank? Remember we have to send a report to Starfleet."
"I am aware Rivet. And I just did thanks to my new vision systems that I was upgraded with Starfleet technology." The robot looked at the scenery as it began to run "Let's go!"
"Wait!" She stopped looking confused at Clank who looked serious "Check again that you have your falsified log." She dippered and pulled out two cards with Lombax symbols on them.
Clank looked serious "Remember it will automatically register in the system when we go through registration places. That way you can pass through without a problem or save us any more trouble. We must avoid breaking the Prime Directive."
Rivet smiled "I know Clank." She carefully made sure save them away in her pocket and continue her marathon towards the city.
The road gave her a couple of hours.... Enough time for dawn to break in the horizon. While with Aeon and Kyan.
Both were in custody in an interrogation room of the city's Lombax Praetorian Guard HQ.
Both were sitting at an interrogation table, they had been asking questions about where they were what they were doing. They obviously explained the Solana and Polaris situation but said nothing about the Federation and Starfleet, they were sworn to abide by the Prime Directive.
At that instant the automatic doors opened as Kyan looked up in fright "D-Dad..."
Kaden had a look that said enough. He was furious "You two..." Aeon looked down as he gulped nervously, the Dimensionator guardian was very furious.
"You have no idea how much it took me to convince the council not to bring you both to trial for the crime of theft, treason and a court martial. I managed to convince them to at least give you a less severe punishment since you returned the Dimensionator and you.... Aeon Azimuth."
Kaden sighed in annoyance "Many of the council almost wanted to exile you from Fastoon II like your father for collaborating with Kyan. Be mindful of your position."
The white-furred Lombax lowered his gaze "I'm sorry..." The adult sighed "But.... Thank you for taking care of Kyan."
Hearing that Aeon looked up at Kaden who looked tired "Home, both of you. You will stay 3 weeks in confinement and come to your senses about what you have done. understood?"
"THREE WEEKS?!" The two stared in disbelief as Kaden gave them a menacing look "Is there a problem? Or do you want a harsher punishment?"
"No..." The two lowered their heads without another word, the two were also worried as they were not able to contact Rivet once they had sorted out the Dimensionator theft.
