check genetics between himself and his brother as well as said non-friend to determine actual relationship, this gives Gahlt a crisis as he is more closely related to the non-friend than Blue who turns out to be a half-brother by mother, but eventually denounces his stronger blood relation in favor of his “true brother” Blue • Bounty hunter incident involving a slimebrid with cybernetic parts

cycle which eventually resulted in Blue’s initial encounter with the bots • The others get captured by the criminal and brought to her base but manage to defeat her though Gahlt ends up severely injured, SK is able to warn the less-corrupt police faction to move in on the base just in time to extract the group and stabilize Gahlt at a freedoc Earthbound Arc • SK, Plugs, Blue, and Gahlt take

release them as ambassadors • The crew travels around the USA for just over a year before going international in search of potential replacement materials to fix ship • SK ends up planting nearly undetectable bugs on undersea data cables at various points during international travels, due to not being able to easily travel by air until ship is repaired • The crew leaves in a hurry in 2019 after the ship is repaired and the humans begin threatening their existence due to wanting the ship for themselves and also general aggression toward extraterrestrial squatters • SK leaves one last parting gift of a roughly translated set of instructions on how to “fix everything” as data on several random file hosts, containing directions on advanced technology as well as suggestions on governance, unsure if they will know how to interpret things correctly Courier Arc • SK, Plugs, Blue, and Gahlt return to their home galaxy with over 5 years having passed there between time spent on

part of the crew to a trip of a more distant part of the galaxy, something only SK finds cozy • SK reveals his side project of broadcasting Earth music online has accumulated vast wealth through donations for hosting, and the planted bugs on Earth were to capture further music data, however he is reluctant to spend much of the money due to anticipating legal action from the galaxy’s music industries potentially demanding payment for competition reasons • The legal action from the galactic music industry eventually comes to pass in a compromise, removing most of the stored wealth at that point but allowing the project to continue existing and accepting donations which have since reduced following the initial popularity spike • Plugs and Wyvan form a union in what SK calls an “Earth-style wedding”, which is followed by a brief battle with and escape from a militant arm of protesters against bot-organic romance, which was anticipated and prepared for with their friends to

searches for new purpose and attempts to contact spiritual realms • SK and Plugs return to Earth where at least over 100 years passed since the last visit and see what happened • SK visits alternate

family members • Plugs finally returns feelings to Cirira, who is now wandering and delivering justice as needed across the worlds • At least 1000 years later, the remaining bots in some level of disrepair find a role in a battle for bot liberation to turn the tide in their favor Beyond Arc • At least 50000 years since the start, a new empire on a new planet builds a retro design of bot which sort of resembles SK’s model but different with consideration to current trends • A force from another galaxy invades the planet in search of resources as they have done to many planets before, a distorted pale humanoid form with elongated limbs only able to survive in supportive armor • One of the invaders recalls a historical log and examines one of these new retro bots as a similar form to a previous encounter, who has no idea of the significance • The retro bot gets looped into a distorted prophecy of sorts as determined by the invaders, in search of new prosperity • The retro bot then starts wondering about their true identity and searches for traces of this supposed ancestor on old worlds • Finding trace logs of SK’s existence insufficient to redetermine their own identity, the retro bot decides to just sabotage the invaders and act as if this is the prophecy, which they believe once the retro bot leads them to a new unsettled world away from the empire planet, which sustained severe damage during the process
