Sebastian checked his uniforms before donning his translator device and his wristband before heading out of his room. Passing through the corridor, he saw Rob's room door opened. Rob walked out from his room while yawning and scratching his hair, wearing only a loincloth.
"Yo.." he mumbled
He chuckled seeing his get up. They went to the gathering room together. Enid and Ammaurith were there, preparing meals.
"Finally you to wakes-" Enid stared at Rob "put some clothes on will you!"
Rob just shrugged his shoulder and sat on the floor.
"Fari?" Ammaurith waving a jug.
"Yes, please," replied Sebastian.
She poured fari juice into a mug and gave it to Sebastian.
"Nah.. i gonna make an oka," Rob went to the kitchen.
Sebastian sat down and enjoyed his drink. Rob sat nearby, drinking his oka. Enid gave them a bowl of stew and a plate of grilled leat. While they ate, the door slides open, Sannekth entered the room followed by Gersoth, Mafith and Laenoth.
Laenoth stared at Rob, then at Gersoth who also only wore a loincloth "Soth, you're a bad influence."
Gersoth looked at his loincloth and just shrugged his shoulder; Sebastian, Sannekth and Mafith laughed.
"Where's Pulkth?" asked Ammaurith.
"Doing his rituals," Sannekth munching a grilled leat.
"I'll bring his portion."
"Thank you," said Ammaurith, she helped her arranged the meals on a tray.
Sannekth stared at Sebastian, "Hey Kid!, since i don't have anymore to teach you, we are free until the next 3 cycles-"
Mafith chimed in "There’s this water planet, what's it called.."
"Islentic," Laenoth waving her finger.
"Ah ye! that! we could enjoy the sea.."
"Sounds fun," said Rob while chugging his drink.
"Umm.. how about we look for earth?" Sebastian suggested.
Rob choked on his drink; Ammaurith quickly smacking his back.
"You want to find earth?" Enid almost dropping the tray.
"Earth eh?" Sannekth rubbed his chin.
"According to the data we found on your ship, earth was already destroyed.." Laenoth stared at Sebastian.
"But- maybe- there could still be a trace of it-"
Mafith added "True, but we don't know it location."
"Maybe- the Watcher could have visited it in the past, before the destruction i mean.." said Sebastian "High Elder said they already mapped this whole galaxy before the-"
"Why bother though?" Rob wiping his mouth with a napkin "It's gone- let's just go to-"
"Still.. i want to see it with my own eyes," he looked at Rob and Enid "aren't you curious?"
Rob put down his drink.
"I-" she looking down.
Sannekth grinned, "Ampr!" he called.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
A static sound coming to the room.
"Relayed our new objective to high elder," he added before telling Laenoth "Noth, try matching all those data we acquired from human ship with our archives."
Laenoth nodded. She ate her stew before leaving to the bridge. Sebastian decided to helped her searching through the archives.
At the bridge, they accessed the archives using the computer there. Sebastian was surprised to see so many detailed information about earth. Back at their old ship, they were only shown few pictures and description of earth, mostly how beautiful it was before the destruction.
"I never knew we have this many data."
"Those were hidden, Ampr founds it while copying your ship data," explained Laenoth.
Sebastian read all the data and compared it with the Watcher archives. Of all the data, he was intrigued by the variety of animals that had ever lives on earth, there were also information about extinct animals from the distant past with the pictures of their depiction in real life.
"This is so cool.." he murmured, seeing the picture of tyrannosaurus.
After matching the data with the watcher archives. They found 20 potential planetary systems; he found another one but it was listed in lost planet archives. Laenoth further sorting it out, 17 of it were just recently visited by the Watcher, which was unlikely those were the earth they're looking for, and due to the inhabitants were not remotely resembling human.
"Found it yet?" asked someone behind him, startling him.
He turned to see Enid behind him, carrying a tray filled with snacks and drinks; Sannekth was beside her.
He showed them the planets they had found "We have yet to check these 3."
Sannekth looked at the monitor "Hmmss.. what's the archive says about those 3?"
"This one has a primitive civilization, located at U'lux system, archive last updated 2041 cycles ago," Laenoth displayed the picture of the inhabitant, a green humanoid being with really big head.
"Definitely not earth," Sebastian sighed.
"What about the other 2?" Enid pointed at the monitor.
"Hmmss.. these 2 aren't good either, atmosphere not suitable for a species like human."
Everyone was dejected. Sebastian remembered the one he found in the lost archives and shown it to Sannekth.
"That’s from the lost planet archive." Laenoth checking the computer "It said it was destroyed 211 million cycles ago."
"But earth only recently destroyed," Enid clutching the tray "i don't think-"
"Noth, what the archive says?"
"An asteroid collision, it was the Anrakyan who found it and recorded it final moment, these are pictures of the inhabitants."
Laenoth shown them lots of pictures of bizarre looking creatures. Most were massive and had really long neck, other had a large pouch on its throat for scooping water. picture of variety of smaller birds, some are flightless and hanging on a tree. There was also picture of huge rat like creature.
Sannekth snorted loudly seeing pictures of an Anrakyan examining a nest but ended up getting chased by the horned creature with a massive frill on its head. Another was picture of them trying to shooed a large featherless bird with a huge crest on its head making a nest on top of their ship. The last was a picture of a creature roaring at the Anrakyans, it large head had mouth full of sharp teeth although it forelimbs were tiny.
Wait.. i have seen it before, he search for tyrannosaurus Rex data and shown it to others "Don't you think those creature resembles this?"
Sannekth and Enid stared at the picture.
"It does have some resemblance.." she said "dinosaur?"
They compared more pictures of this called dinosaur and found most of it were similar with the one taken by Anrakyan.
Laenoth said “hmm.. I think we found it..”
"This is our best lead, good work kid!" he smacked Sebastian’s shoulder. "Ampr! we have new destination, calculates this planet current coordinate."
Enid clasped her hands "We found earth!"
"Well.. your data said it was destroyed," said Laenoth "don't gets your hope high."
Still.. i hope it's still there.." Sebastian smiled.
A static sound, the ship began changing direction. Another static sound and the robotic vessel on the corner started moving.
"Calculating, done." informed Ampr "At max speed. It will take, 1 cycles, to reach there."
Sebastian couldn't hide his excitement, he quickly gulped all the snacks Enid brought for him before went looking for Rob to tell him the good news.
