Glimmer, Bow, and Adora were all working in the main part of Mara's ship making sure it was ready for deep space travel, while Catra and Melog were checking the rest of the ship, when Darla's voice came online.

"Incoming transmission from Entrapta on Beast Island. Would you like to open communications?"

Adora stood up from where she was fixing some wires that had somehow managed to escape through parts of their paneling and break free, and walked over to Darla's communication panel, Bow and Glimmer behind her.

"Darla, open communications with Entrapta. She may need our help." Adora said, and Glimmer sighed.

"Or she may just need some new materials or just submitting a report. We don't need to assume that every time someone calls on us that they need help, especially with the war over now. Darla, patch it through."

The communication panel lit up as a holographic screen lit up, with Entrapta's face taking up most of the frame, though the trio could see Hordak in the background, as he appeared to be scanning the area for something.

"Entrapta! We haven't heard from you in a while, is everything okay?" Bow asked, and Entrapta happily nodded, a big smile on her face.

"Things are going great! We found my robot friend that we left behind on Beast Island, and she still works! Look!"

Entrapta appeared to move the camera where the hologram was projecting, and what appeared was a giant blue robot with a purple eye, while Hordak appeared to be staring up at it, almost like he was studying the mechanical beast.

Glimmer looked at it in confusion, while Bow and Adora just smiled and laughed nervously.

"That's...great, Entrapta, really great. Have you made any progress in making it to the center of Beast Island?" Bow asked, and Entrapta thought for a moment, her facial expression turning serious.

"Hordak and I have only just arrived at Beast Island, and while we may have tech that goes far beyond anyone's understanding, it won't be able to speed up our travel anymore. However, we have my robot friend now to help us with getting to the center of the island more safely, provided we don't get caught up in the Signal." She said after a moment of thinking, and Adora nodded, though she still had a worried expression on her face.

"And you're sure you don't need us to come help you? She-Ra's power may be useful in temporarily purifying the tech so that you can finish quicker and get you away from that terrible island." She said, and Entrapta smiled and shook her head.

"You have your own mission to focus on in space, and while I would desperately love to explore space as soon as possible, I need to stay on Etheria and help with the damage that the Horde caused, that I caused. We'll be okay, I promise."

Adora sighed, crossing her arms as a way of trying to feel like she was protecting herself from any unsure feelings, when she felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned to see Catra standing beside her, with Melog standing on the other side of Adora.

"Adora, if Entrapta says that she and Hordak can handle themselves on Beast Island, then I think they'll be fine." She said, and Adora looked worriedly at the screen again, before nodding reluctantly and taking ahold of Catra's hand in her own.

"You're right, I'll try not to worry."

Catra smiled, as she gently kissed Adora's cheek before looking up at Hordak and Entrapta on the holographic screen.

"Entrapta, how are things going on Beast Island? Are you guys doing okay?" She asked, and Entrapta smiled widely and nodded, while Hordak merely looked away and walked out of view of the screen.
