Tommy can change his appearance's age but it takes a lot our of him i.e.. once he drops the glamor/spell it takes a while for him to recover.

*Receiving Transmission*
Tommy had been having a nice nap in the greenhouse when his ship's AI connected to his coms to let him know of an incoming transmission, "What system?" he lazily asks,
*Eionius Eusebeia*
"Planet of origin?" Tommy asks as he gets up with a stretch,
*Scinzoaella Ih'bhee'twen*
"Scinzoaella Ih'bhee'twen? Is Empress calling?" he mutters to himself,
*Wish to accept?*
"Accept." he says after a moment of rubbing his eyes as a holo screen appears in front of him, "Tommy!" a voice chirps from the other end, "Empress." Tommy responds back with a yawn, "Tommy, you know you can call me mum, or Kristen if that's still too much." Kristen says with a small smile, "Right mumza." the other responds with another small yawn, "You won't me up from my nap, what's the purpose of your call?" "Right um..." the empress responds looking off to the side, "I'm sending over a transmission from auras-" "Your lover you mean." Tommy deadpans with a shit eating grin as he watches his mother's face turn a shade of purple, "'s ship Esbee'I. They reported suffering some some systems failure and later a rogue pirate ship launched their ship into a system of dead space." "And you want my crew to do what exactly?" Tommy asks with a raised eyebrow,
"I want you to go to the coordinates in the Sol System and bring the Esbee'I and its crew back to Scinzoaella Ih'bhee'twen please."

"Lani, I need you to chart a new course." Tommy says walking into the cockpit, "And where exactly are you dragging us to this time?" his pilot asks not turning to look at him, "And please tell me it's not a case of you just wanting a vacation." "Shut it, and no, it's not." Tommy says indignantly, "It's a job from mumza, you know, the Empress." "Where to?" Lani pipes up immediately as she pulls up navigation, "The Sol System." the captain deadpans.
It's silent for a couple of seconds until Lani bleats out loudly drawing the attention of the others.
"Lani!" yells a voice from a little ways away, "Are you ok!?" "Let's not tell them." Tommy says with a mischievous smile, "Call it payback." Lani just shrugs after a moment before yelling back, "I'm fine Tubbo, just got a nav course from the Empress!" "Ok!"
"Once you cross over the ring of glittering dust you'll be in dead space, you'll be flying almost blind." Tommy says from his seat next to here while looking out the reinforced glass pane as streams of glittering space material fly past them, "Yeah, got it here Tommy bhears." Lani quips, "I told you not to fuckin' call be that." Tommy playfully bites back earning a laugh from the both of them, "Anyways, what am I searching for?" Lani asks typing a few things into her holo pad,
"A Neuvette classed spaceship called SC-Esbee'I. We are looking for four living crew members and a hopefully intact ship."

"C-Captain?" calls a nervous voice from the darkest corner of the communal room, "Ranboo, you know you can call me Tommy." the captain says as he steps closer, "And what's wrong little vworp?" Ranboo blushes at the nickname [AN: all platonic], "The air feels different." "We are in a dead space." Tommy hums out, "Let's go to the observatory. I have something to tell you."
"It's so pretty!" Ranboo fawns with shining eyes, "The Sol System; or the Milky Way as it's called by its residents. A pocket of dead space." Tommy says with a smile, "I'm feeling nostalgic." "Why?" asks a voice from behind them causing Tommy to yelp, "Drista!" he yells, "Don't fuckin' startle me!" "Why are you feeling nostalgic?" the younger asks hopping up next to them, "A uh little known fact of the Empress' children is that we hatch from eggs, when the egg is reaching its time it disappears into another system..." Tommy starts to explain slowly,
"The system I ended up in was the Sol System, more specifically Earth, the human's home planet. I grew up with humans, it's where the name Tommy comes from and where I get my accent and less alien-form."
