It was night time, a day after the Birdie's intrudal. All four Akaridions were in the Mothership.

Varvatos, in his non-earthly form, had appearently found some action series on televison and was invested in the fights and bloodshed on the moving chair in front of the TV.

The sounds of the TV, Varvatos' commentary and pretty loud music from Krel's room were heard through the house.

Aja got fed up with the sounds coming from her brother's room and confronted him about it. So they got into a bit of an argument, like siblings do.

Then as Aja wanted to say something, she was cut off by the sounds of weapons clashing from the TV, also by their mentor/trainer yelling: "glorious!" to the screen.

That caused the siblings to look at the direction of the commotion glaring.

"Commander!" Aja protested, "Could you turn the television down? You're not the only one in this house you know."

"But Varvatos was merely getting to the good part!"

"Let me guess," Krel said, "They were all about to slaughter each other?"

"Exactly! he yelled in delight.

The Tarrons shared an irritated look that said: That's just Varvatos being Varvatos.

"This Game of Thrones series is amazing!" he exclaimed, "Just too bad humans on this planet don't fight like true warriors of this medieval age."

Suddenly, the images in the TV became blurry and the sound became raggy and distant and everyone in the house seemed to notice.

"What is this?!" Varvatos exclaimed at the TV.

After a moment of confusion, the TV shut down.

Then out of nowhere, the robot parents appheared.

"Oh no," Ricky said with his usual energetic tone, "It looks like the TV had lost it's signal!"

"You can say that again!" Lucy added.

"Relax, everyone," Krel said, "The antenne probably wighter just stopped working for some reason or got damaged by a really strong wind. This could happen more often that you think. I can go fix it if you want."

Varvatos thought for a moment and then said:

"Are you sure, my royal?"

Krel shrugged and replied:

"I think I can fix a piece of primitive Earth technology."

"And we have a barrier around our house anyway," Aja added.

"Hmm, very well," Varvatos finally said and stood up, "But if you see any sign of the bounty hunters you come back inside emidietly!"

"I will," Krel replied and went back im his room to look for the right tool

He settled for a simple screwdriver, his magic would do the rest, and headed out. Luug was about to rush through the door with him, but Krel closed it basically in front of their pet before he could, without even noticing. Though Luug forgot about it pretty quickly.

Krel started looking for the antenne, which was somewhere on the edge of the rooftop.

Once he found it, he was quite suprised. It looked like something large had pushed it so every piece was bent. It was definetly not caused by the wind.

Suddenly Krel heard small steps near the signal and he tensed up. Then, right off the roof, something large jumped right at him! He didn't have time to make out the figure, because he ran out of it's way as fast as he could and since it was night.
