"From what we've seen, Lord Teross, the other planets that contained the shard have been in a circle surrounding planet
Carrotous at a distance of roughly 54 to 60 lightyears, and spacing between them of 31 to 43 lightyears, and have all been on a level plane."
"You're telling me things I already know." Teross snarled evilly, as a nervous Knn Ensign pointed to points on a holographic cartography screen.
"W-well, with this information, we can infer the final planet, the one containing the Archon, i-is somewhere in sector 3AG9..." That sector of the screen, an area due north, from there perspective, of Carrotous, expanded to fill the entire view.
"Are there any life sustaining planets in that sector?"
"T-three, Cartolis I, Cancer Prime, and Ekarda." The images of the three planets expanded to fill the screen aswell.
"Which planet is most like the others?"
"Cancer Prime is the most like them, with a temprate climate, 70% ocean, and primitive plant and animal life." Teross recalled the hours he had just spent torturing Ducky and BlackSheep, with no word from Tyio. Time was running short.
"Set course for the Cancer system, maxiumum speed, but keep an eye of the Beagle, she may lead us where we need to go."
The four of them, Juiso, Seraph, Tymen, and Asari, all huddled around a table in one of the ship's chambers. Seraph, had elected to do this, only with a blaster facing Asari's head.
"Show me what you have of the map." Asari said. Tymen retrievied the completed, circular stone map. Asari grinned.
"Here is the key." She retrieved another, circular tablet, but this one glowed with energy, and had no top markings. Then, she jammed her tablet into the underside of there's, and they fused together, just as all the other pieces had. For a few moments, nothing happened. But then, with a crackle of energy, a green energy grid eminated, and a single, rotating energy point, directly above Carrotous.
"There," she pointed to the point, "Is the Archon." Juiso nodded, counting up the grid in relation to the other planets and figuring out the location of this new planet. Then he bolted to the control panel.
"Course set, planet: Ortegas IV." Seraph's eyes furrowed.
"Maximum speed..."
