The Makers were very busy experimenting, analysing, programming and calculating the formulas for the improved Energon. This time, they took care in executing the experiment. They got the new idea of mixing more of the bluish substance and work more with the chemical compound of the fuel...

"We're running low on fuel," Galactus said looking at a screen on the fuel tank. It glowed red and a bunch of random symbols showed that the Makers obviously understood.

"Wha... Now?"

"Seriously?"

"When we have the answer?"

They were all upset about this because to them it was a waste of time. They were also pretty surprised considering the fact that their fuel tank was incredibly large.

"Well, I guess that means we should probably go harvest a star somewhere," Galactia stated while putting her hands on her hips.

"I'm pretty sure I've seen the perfect star somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy," Galactron said.

"Does it support heat and light to any planet with life on it?" Galactica asked. The Makers had one rule when it came to harvesting stars: never destroy a star that supports a planet with any kind of life. They were very strict when it came to this kind of thing.

"Nope," Galactus answered for Galactron, "I just checked now."

"Looks like we're taking a trip to the Andromeda Galaxy then."

"Thankfully, it's close by."

"Our ship should get there ok."

"Computer, set a course for the Andromeda Galaxy, sector 79."
With that, they were off to another part of the universe.

The Makers made it to the Galaxy after a few hours. During that time, they tried to perfect the formula for the new Energon samples. Their ship stopped a few hundred miles from the star. The Makers went to their positions to start the process of harvesting the star's energy. Galactia went to the Light Extraction Room and sat on a futuristic chair with a lot of levers, buttons and screens (sort of like those simulation things that are in Black Panther but more futuristic), Galactron went to the control room and took his place at the hovering chair and grabbed the steering wheel that seemed to be connected to nothing, Galactica went to another room called the Energy Concentration Room and positioned herself at a computer with a bunch of buttons and dials and she put on goggles or to be more specific, her goggles liquidised into a solid from nowhere over her eyes, and Galactus was also in the Energy Concentration Room but his place was at this chair that looked exactly like the chair Galactia sat on but with only four levers and one control panel in front of him.
"Stand by while I get this thing into position," Galactron said. He spoke not exactly into a device but the device in his ear caught what he said and the rest of them heard.

"Gotchya. Ok, we just need to go approximately ninety five maxidistances closer to the star," Galactia said while switching and pressing random things.

"Ninety two maxidistances if you're going for a minimum," Galactica said as she vigorously pressed other random buttons.

"Come on! We might as well shoot the beam now since this thing doesn't really have a range," Galactus said anxiously. He really loves firing the extraction beam.

"We need to be close enough to get the energy while it's still fresh."

"We should be getting close enough to fire."

"Ready the aiming systems. Obviously Galactia will absorb the stray light for extra energy and Galactus will..."

"And I will fire the extraction beam! My time to shine."
