"Come on!! We're about to demolish him!" A young African boy with a yellow uniform yelled to his friend, as they battle the boss in the video game they're playing.

His friend, who has a tidy haircut and wears a red uniform complained, "But I'm low on HP!" while struggling to stay alive to defeat the final boss. On the other side of the living room, is a girl who has her eyes completely locked on the puzzle pieces, maintaning focus, as she tries to put them together. But the shouts from the two boys are keeping her from focusing.

A short silence occured but then the two boys suddenly cheered blaringly after finally defeating the boss and gave each other a high five. The redhead girl shot them a glare and complained "If only you two have volume adjustments I would've put you two on mute." The red suit boy gave his sister an awkward grin "Sorry, Loretta- we'll be playing quietly." He replied and continued on playing the next level with Haruna.

Just as Loretta went back to working on the jigsaw puzzle, the boys started to yell again while playing, which irritated her and sarcastically points the remote at them pretending they're a TV while aggressively clicking the volume adjustment button. Just then, a young female alien emerged from the kitchen and called Loretta to be the taste tester for the food she and Blodger are cooking. Loretta agreed and went into the kitchen as Mirandos goes up to Haruna and Miles to watch their gameplay.

She rested her arm on the couch and carefully watches Haruna playing. She observed how Haruna hides behind a wall due to how huge and tough the enemy is. She asked him why didn't he attack the enemy when he had the chance, he explained that he's learning stealth for future missions by using the game. "It's better to remain unnoticed by the foe, or your toast." He stated, Mirandos just rolled her eyes playfully and giving Haruna a gentle smile.

Loretta called them, telling that lunch is ready, the others went straight to the kitchen and ate lunch together. It was another typical day for these group of kids, well, at the time before they received a call from the Admirals.

A few minutes later, Zeno booted up and spoke "Hey team, we've got an incoming call from Admirals Watson and Crick, and it's urgent." Fortunately, the team had finished eating before Zeno could announce the incoming call, since he usually interrupts them while they're eating. "Thanks Zeno. Everyone, to the hangar." Miles commanded.

When everyone is at the hangar, Zeno puts up the call, revealing two anxious Admirals as they're seen hiding behind a wall. "Admirals! What's the emergency?" Miles asked them with perplexity. Watson replied in a quiet tone that there are Nemesystems Striker bots attacking the Mission Center, and Crick, who is biting his nails, added that he saw Aggro entered the building. Loretta asked how the spaceguards are doing, and they replied that some are battling the striker bots while some are captured in their trap coils, and some are probably chasing down Aggro. Miles assured to the admirals that he and his team will take care of the striker bots and Aggro and ended the call.
