Chapter 805: Two Star
"Her Majesty is also excited about this discovery after all. So for your sake, and ours, I hope there wasn't a single lie in your report."
"Don't worry. There wasn't any lie there. I did the scan twice just to be sure. And I even ran diagnostics on the systems. There was not a single error. So I am completely sure that it is the truth. As for how that's possible, your guess is as good as mine," Joana replied, smiling.
"Now, please step aside. My crew and the prisoners need to come out as well."
Joans took off the old man's hands from his shoulders and stepped aside. The old man also stepped aside.
Lucifer stepped out with cuffed hands before him. He was escorted by two Star Alliance members who kept an eye on him.
"So he's the one. I see. He truly doesn't look that special, as you said," the old man commented, smiling.
Behind Lucifer, Xaen was brought out as well.
"An adult who looks like a kid. That must be the second one you talked about. It's amazing that there is nothing special about him. We'll scan him again as well, just to see how different these two are from each other."
"You can hand these two to us. They're our responsibility now," the old man commanded.
The guards looked at Joana for further instructions.
Joana nodded in response.
The crew members of Joana handed over Lucifer and Xaen to the guards following the old man.
"Good. Now you can relax in the city until your next mission. We'll be leaving now." The old man turned around and started leaving.
"Jouzi, wait!" Joana called out from the back.
"What?" The old man looked back.
"I'll be coming with you as well," Joana said, running to the old man. "I also want to see the result of the second scan since the machines at the headquarters are more in depth."
"You don't have to come. I'll tell you the results."
"No, it's fine. I want to see it live. In any case, there are more things I want to talk about, regarding the future."
"Are you sure you want to waste your time like this? A lot of time will be wasted there. You came from a long journey. You should relax instead."
"I don't need to relax. It's not like I was running on the ship. I was just sitting. I don't need rest. Is there a reason you don't want me to come with you?"
"Nope. Why would I care? If you want to come then come," the old man shook his head lazily.
....
Lucifer was taken to a different cell than Xaen.
He was kept in a dark room, under a machine. He could only hear one voice which told him to stay calm down as a deep scan was going to take place.
The voice also told him to lie down on the bed. In another room, Xaen was going through the same thing.
In a different room, a small group of people was sitting, watching both the rooms.
The room seemed to be filled with many one star members, which surprised even Joana. It was as if everyone was interested in Lucifer.
"It would've been so nice if we had three of them. We could've known which of the two was an anomaly for people of that world. We can only assume that Lucifer is different and all the rest are like Xaen, but what if it's the opposite?"
"I talked to them. It is evident that most of them are like Xaen. However, I can check once by going to that world when we find it," Joana responded.
"We'll decide on that after the interrogation. If he's born to humans there, it might be possible there are more like him on earth. Everything will come out in interrogation. And if needed, we will send you."
The white haired man opened his eyes. "We're ready for the scan. Beginning now. Everyone stay silent."
The dark room became bright as a green light filled the room.
As the scanning continued, everyone looked at the screen that was about to show the result with great curiosity.
"Joana, I must say. It is a great discovery if it's true. I'm jealous of you. It has been a long time since a new species was discovered. Your name might go into history books."
"Heh, he was just lucky that he was in that sector. It's not like he discovered that world. That people appeared in that space instead. I would just say he was lucky. It could've been anyone in his place, and the outcome won't change."
"Yeah bu-"
The discussion suddenly stopped as the door opened once again.
Everyone looked to the door, only to stand up in shock as they saw who had arrived.
A man had stepped inside the room. His chest had a two star symbol. Unlike the one star members, the newcomer didn't exude any aura. He appeared like an ordinary human.
Everyone cleared their chairs for the man to sit, but the man didn't even look towards the chairs. His eyes remained on the screen.
"Which one is it?" He asked calmly.
"The one on the left," the white haired man responded.
Fortunately, Lucifer wasn't here to see the newcomer. If he were here, he would've recognized the man. Not only that, he would've been stunned as well to see the man here, in real life.
"We just started scanning. We should get the results soon. Why don't you sit until then?" The white haired man asked.
"It's alright. I don't feel like resting," the man let out. "I just came here to see the person. She is really interested in this new person. She personally sent me here to check if the reports are accurate."
"She herself wanted to come. I had to stop her. It's beneath her dignity to come here personally for someone unless it's proven that this person is really special or not. If it's proven, then we can see what's to be done."
"If it's proven, can we have him join the Star Alliance?" Joana asked, taking the opportunity. "I was thinking about training him under me about the basics on my ship."
"You want to train the guy? What makes you think we'll let that happen? If the guy is as special as you mentioned in the report, why won't I train him personally?"
"Because it's against the laws. And I'm sure you won't break the laws. Any potential star alliance member must train under a Star One Captain on their ship before he can climb higher," Joana responded, reminding the man about the laws.
