HSR Chapter 4: Herta Space Station Arc 1

(Credits go to the Owner of the Pictures)

--------------------
After walking for a bit the group of the Astral Express met up with the Lead Researcher of the Herta Space Station, Asta.

Asta: *says seriously* Projectile radar tracking, normal. Telemetry signal frequency unusually high! Maintain at normal levels. Our measurements predict that the Legion is about to unleash over ten waves of continuous attacks. Everyone, brave yourselves!

March: Asta! We're back!

Asta: *says relived* Whew, I'm glad you're all back safe. Arlan just told me about the situation at the storage zone - and about his injury... thank you, especially you Caelus, for all your help.

Caelus: *nods* Let's discuss this later, we have more pressing matters to talk about.

[Affection System

Asta: 20/100 AP(Affection Points)]

[Hidden Mission

Description: Get Asta to 100/100 AP

Reward: ???]

Caelus: *glances at the system with a smirk*

Asta: *nods* In times of disasters, I realize more and more that the space station's researchers are it's most valuable assets... Alas, we were ill-prepared for such emergencies... we should have built up our security and combat departments. On the other hand, the entire crew of the Astral Express seems to be extraordinarily skilled. *praises the Nameless*

Dan Heng: *gets to the point* What is the current situation on the space station?

Asta: The situation is under control for now. The damage to our security system was minor. The intruder only managed to alter a small amount of data, so it was easy to fix. The real problem lies with the researchers... They trust Madam Herta wholeheartedly and never thought that the space station would be breached by the Legion. A broken spirit is far worse than a broken body.

Himeko: *nods at the others* Let's go speak with the researchers. Right now, the space station can't afford any more unexpected turn, especially from within. Have you tried contacting Herta?

Asta: I sent multiple letters all met with silence. *sighs* You know her, Himeko, the space station is but a mere warehouse for followers and rare items. She doesn't really care about it.

Himeko: *sighs* I knew it... No matter. I'll also send a letter to Herta and tell her that we've brought the rare item she seeks. At least that might get her attention.

Asta: *smiles* That would be of great help. *looks at the others* I'll leave the reassurance of the researchers in your hands. If you have any other questions, you are welcome to come to Himeko and me.

After that everyone went their own way. March went to check on the Researchers, Dan Heng and Himeko did the same while Caelus stayed with Asta.

Caelus: *approaches Asta* Lead Researcher Asta

Asta: *turns to Caelus and smiles* Ah, Caelus. I hope there weren't any inconveniences and don't call me that. You can call me Asta. So did you need something?

Caelus: *chuckles* No, I just wanted to ask something.

Asta: *nods and crosses her arms* Sure, ask me anything you like.

Caelus: *smiles* Then, can I ask: Do you like Stargazing?

Asta: *looks away shocked with a faint red on her face* W-Where did this question come from?

[AS (Affection System)

Asta: Friend 35/100]

Caelus: *an unnoticeable grin was presented on his face* Jackpot
