Bobby found twelve people already seated in their respective seats, waiting for their captain to begin the meeting upon entering the conference room.
There was still one person left to return, clearly Hunk, the dead guy. So the meeting could not begin until the death line, which was one and a half hours left.
Everyone sat quietly without making a sound for half an hour.
Then suddenly, Rapson, the golden lock youth, approached Bobby and said, "Hey, congrats, for returning in one piece!"
Bobby, clearly in Loki's appearance, craned his head, looked at him once, and ignored him like Loki usually did.
"Oh, come on. Don't give me that look?... Have we ever been on bad terms before?... Hell no," Rapson said as he smiled a friendly smile on his face. "Alright, I will give you the last chance and I'm waiting for it after this briefing." He then walked back to his seat.
Just after he left, Bobby curled into a wicked smile for a second and returned to his usual facial expression.
Soon, an hour passed and Captain Shiko walked into the conference room.
Everyone stood up and saluted him.
"You can have your seat…." Captain Shiko said and then he clicked on the ball-like device on the desk and inserted all the fourteen cards that record everyone scouting recorded video and then everything left was done by the machine.
After completely analyzing all the data recorded on all fourteen cards, the ball device beeped and was then sent to the main headquarter of the Blue Lagoon.
"The results have been successfully sent to the headquarters. We need to wait for their approval…. And one important thing is we still have one of our team still not back… If he doesn't turn up today, tomorrow we are going to have another group scouting in Hunk's assigned region to look out for his whereabouts." Captain Shiko announced. "Alright, good work, boys. Dismiss!"
He then turned the device off and stormed out of the room, toward his quarter.
Quickly, everyone also left for their wards.
The next morning, everyone assembled in the courtyard as they always did as a part of the military morning drill.
It turned out Hunk didn't return and today this group of fourteen under the leadership of Captain Shiko was preparing to set off for a search party for Hunk.
"Alright, everyone, have you remembered all I just said?" Captain Shiko yelped.
"Yes, captain!" Everyone replied all at once.
"Well, let's set off." Captain Shiko announced and then he spread his wings and flew up in the air.
Similarly, all his subordinates, including Bobby, spread their wings and also drifted upward in the air and they all began a journey toward the area assigned for scouting to Hunk.
"How do you feel about your first day living among angels?" Cynthia asked telepathically in his mind.
"Pretty good for a human sneaking inside a camp full of angels," Bobby replied telepathically in his mind. "And this trip is going to be epic...as we are going to search for someone who they will never find. Alright, let's go with the flow; when the time is right, everyone in this world will know that a human has outplayed them."

Aphrodite City, Dwarka World,
After the failure of the last teleporter, the teleporter which was meant to teleport in the Trans-Solar Exoplanet T-12, failed to teleport, a ruckus had been spread over every human colony in space.
In light of the fact that the failure was a disgrace and that all the crew members were military personnel, the higher-ups had strict orders to keep the news quiet.
However, there was a whistleblower inside the military camp station on the outskirts of the city who leaked the story to a famous news channel, which then spread to auxiliary channels, and soon it became known to the public.
It was all over the news leading to that commotion, inspiring all the worlds under the human colony.
All the relatives of the ten military personnel supposed to be victims of the failed teleportation came out today to see whether the news was true.
Among these twenty-five people, Mia was among them.
They went to Captain Jean's personal house and did a sit-in protest in front of the gate, yelling all at once.
After over half an hour, Captain Jean, wearing his full military gown, came out and apologized to everyone and confirmed that the news was true.
The protesters cried and lamented for the deceased after Captain Jean admitted the hard truth, and some parents even fainted.
Everyone left one after another, leaving only Mia, who was still having a normal face behind.
"Jean, how in the hell did this happen?" Mia said in a bitter tone.
"My technical team is already working on it and they found it was a technical malfunction that has happened in the history of humanity since the bill to use teleporter was passed and every technical staff and even non-technical staff were under a thorough investigation… We found nothing." Captain Jean replied, explaining all the details of the investigation. "Hmm. I'm sorry for your loss, Mia. If you need anything… anything, then you should come to me."
"What makes you so sorry about that? ... I'm sure my son is very much alive somewhere, maybe drifting somewhere in space." Mia responded with a straight face and she further added, "Alright, if you want to help me, then tell me the specific last coordinate you found regarding that transporter. I need it right now."
"Mia, hmm, you know I love that kid, too. I should not have sent him to that mission either… Please, understand, if you need help, then I can…" Captain Jean said, thinking she was in complete shock, making her hardly believe his words.
Before he finished his word, Mia jumped in, saying. "Oh, keep the damn pity to yourself, I don't need that. I know Bobby is somewhere and I need to help him… So, I'll ask you this one last time. Give me the last coordinate?"
Seeing that Captain Jean refused to reply to her question, Mia waved her hand and started walking out, saying. "If you don't want to help, then fine. I'll find another way to find that out."
Captain Jean heaved a long sigh and said briskly. "Wait!"
When Mia turned around, he then approached her and gave her a small ball, and said. "Everything regarding the details of our investigation is inside this… If this could help you anyway, then please take it… And for the record, this never happens, okay?"
"Okay, you are still the friend I need when I need it the most. See you," Mia said with a smile and walked out of his compound.
Back to her home, Mia attached the small ball to an AI-pod that Bobby had made for her and then a beam of white flashed out showing all the details of the teleporter beginning from showing the footage of Bobby, walking inside the white spherical shape chamber and then also inside the chamber.
In the scene, it looked all fine until the last second of the teleportation, as some kind of warning appeared the same as the one Bobby had heard and seen before the warning announcement from the AI.
Mia kept watching attentively without even blinking her eyes and the glitches appeared on the videos and saw the panic inside the teleporter chamber and the video ended amid the chaos.
After that, a series of details of the investigation appeared on the screen and Mia read them carefully and blurted. "Pause!"
It included the details regarding three coordinates that the teleporter might have possibly landed after researching all the algorithms left on the data of the mainframe.
Mia carefully memorized the three coordinates which were somewhere within the Delta Belt region and within the territory of the Angel.
"Hey, come out!" She whispered as she turned off the AI pod.
Unlike last time, no one replied.
After a couple of minutes, Mia lost her patience and shouted. "Come out, you stupid bastard!"
She then continued ranting with a lot of curses that she had reserved for a century. But Jeremy never appeared this time.
"Alright, fuck this. I relied too much on him… Now, it's time for me to stand on my own feet. " Mia said.
"Since you are the one who cannot keep your words, then I have no choice but to destroy the pact that we agreed on just before we planned to raise Bobby and Margaret… Fuck with the balance between the Six Olden family…. I don't give a shit and what will peace within the Six Olden Family have to do with me looking for my son… If they come to me, then I'll kill them all." Mia made a huge decision.
Then she removed all her clothes, picked up a kitchen knife and cut her palm, and started dyeing herself with her blood, making various symbols all over her body.
After that, she started chanting a spell and shouted. "Break! Break for me!"
The various symbols that she has drawn over with blood illuminated with yellow and suddenly broke like breaking glasses and in the next instant Mia's body started transforming...
