"Now we have an army, how are we supposed to get to the center of the universe?" Sean asks, worried.

"We don't have a space ship, so we would either have to build one, or hijack one," Sierra says.

"I say we hijack one," Dillan says,

"Too long. We build one. Cause if we hijack one, we'd have to find one first. And I'm pretty sure we all know how long that would take," I say.

"Still if we build one, we would need someone with an engineering background," Eric says.

"True. Maybe Midnight knows how to do engineering," Vara says.

"I know a little," Midnight says.

"And I know some programming," Sean says.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to grab some cookies for everyone," Eric says, promptly heading to the kitchen.

"Make sure to grab the chocolate chip cookies!" I shout after him as we chuckle a little bit.

"Xander asks, what are cookies?" Xander asks, tilting his head to the side.

"THE BEST SWEET TREAT EVER INVENTED!" I say.

"Xander says he is excited to try one," Xander says, waiting patiently.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" We hear Eric shout from the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Vara asks, as Eric walks with his back towards us.

"All the cookies are..." Eric says as he turns around with an empty cookie jar. "GONE!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" We all scream together.

"Why do you care so much about cookies?" Midnight asks as Eric is crying.

"Because *sniffle* cookies are the best thing... EVER," Eric says.

"You don't always need cookies," Korath says, from outside the house.

"Forgot you were there, Korath," I say.

"Hey, it is alright. I am normally not noticed by anyone other than Xander too much," Korath says.

"Time to bake!" I say, enthusiastic about making cookies.

"Well that was fun," Sierra says after having baked many cookies while eating some.

"Alright. Now we need to figure out what our ship is going to look like," Dillan says.

"It should be a V shaped ship, at least 3000 square feet," I say.

"I like that idea. Do we happen to have a warp core?" Dillan says.

"I don't know. I can always check my storage cube," Sierra says.

"I might have a few. How many would we need?" Vara asks.

"We are going to need six warp cores," I say, making a blue print of our ship.

"Alright. We need to gather enough metal, and warp cores for our ship," Dillan says.

"We also need some oxygenators and life support systems," Vara says.

"Don't forget the thrusters, control panels, and the airtight windows," Eric says.

"And seats, garden, lazer cannons, shield generators, nuclear power source, lazer Gatling gun, target lock missiles, and airlocks," I say.
