Zack's fingers drummed against the steering wheel of the ship while whistling a small tune. Your tongue stuck out of the side of your mouth as you tried to piece together the third document. Astro and Kennedy were chatting while Plue was drawing. Veronica was looking over the printed copy that Astro had provided for her and hummed in thought.

"Hey Y/N." Veronica called, gaining your attention.

"Hm?" You acknowledged, not turning away from the document.

"We should head back to planet Alstar." You dropped the tools you were using to fix the document and you looked at Veronica with wide eyes.

"Go to Alstar? But we need to search for the other documents. Why are we going back there?" You questioned. Veronica handed you the second document and you looked over it. You then frowned. "Hold on, this is in an entirely different language. Oi Kennedy, get over here." Kennedy glanced up from his conversation with Astro and looked at you questioningly.

"What is it?" Kennedy questioned as he walked over to you. You handed him the document.

"Is this written in your language or something?" Kennedy raised his eyebrow at you and took the document. He then read over it and shook his head.

"No, this language doesn't look all that familiar to me. Actually I've never even heard of this language before." Kennedy told as he looked over the the document. You frowned and took the document back from him. You then turned towards Veronica.

"So I'm guessing that we're heading to the adventurer's blog?" Veronica nodded.

"Yeah. We'll use our trading points that we were rewarded back in Perfectum to find out what language this is in." You nodded and handed the document back to Veronica. You then grabbed the tools and began to piece together the third document slowly. Veronica glanced up at Zack. "Hey Zack, you hear that? We're heading to Alstar." Zack nodded and punched in a few coordinates.

"Got it!" Zack then pressed a few buttons and you felt the ship change its course. Astro rocked his legs back and fourth. His face then scrunched up in discomfort. Plue glanced up at Astro.

"What's wrong?" Astro immediately stood up, surprising Plue.

"I have to go to the bathroom!" Astro cried. Plue gave him a look of confusion.

"But we're robots. We can't even-"

"Be right back!" Plue watched with wide eyes as Astro ran towards the bathroom and locked himself in there. Plue then gave you a questioning look in which you returned with a shrug.

"Hey, we all learn something new everyday." You said before going back to what you were doing before.

Astro pulled down his pants and took out the broken book he had taken from Alfonse's archives. He then sighed in relief and pulled up his pants. Astro glanced down at the book and looked around him.

"I've got to find a way to get rid of this book." Astro then glanced down at the book and read the title. "Quantum physics volume 12....written by...." Astro squinted his eyes as he struggled to make out the author's name. "Huh, I can't make out the name...it's all blurred. Must be a pretty old book." Astro turned a page gently in the book and read over the first line. He then hummed in thought. "Huh, this book talks about the development of-"

"Astro, what are you doing in there?" Your voice rang out. Astro gasped and dropped the book in surprise. He then hurriedly picked it up and looked around for a spot to hide it. "Astro, open this door."

"U-uh, hold on! I'll be right there!" Astro yelled. He then spotted an air shoot and ran over to it and shoved the book inside. He then pressed the button and watched as the book was shot out into space. Astro's eyes widened. He did NOT mean to do that. You managed to open the door and gave him a questioning look.
