Tosca walked to her workstation pushing the sphere droid on the hand truck.\u00a0 She smiled at the thought of a possible breakthrough.\u00a0 The idea of an immobile but important droid was intriguing.\u00a0 She only needed to find its function.<\/p>\n
The possibilities were far from limited.\u00a0 There were only a few things that immobile devices could do.\u00a0 Many plans of various stimuli passed through her head.\u00a0 The most difficult thing to do was pick which one to try first.<\/p>\n
On her way to her workstation, she passed by many other interns working on projects.\u00a0 They had little time to do more than glance at her as she passed.\u00a0 They were far too entranced with their respective projects.<\/p>\n
Gold and silver were promised to teams that found something marketable in their devices. \u00a0The more marketable the device, the more gold they would earn.\u00a0 If they found a way to produce a weapon, they\u2019d have a wondrous wealthy career ahead of them.<\/p>\n
Tosca was still working with the same droid.\u00a0 She had gotten no progress or money from it.\u00a0 As they glanced at her, some of them had eyes wondering why she was still working with that same droid.\u00a0 She had a brilliant mind but was making no money at all.<\/p>\n
She sat the heavy droid at her station.\u00a0 It was slightly easier to move than she remembered.\u00a0 \u2018I do feel a little stronger.\u2019\u00a0 No time for those thoughts.\u00a0 She had theories to test.\u00a0 Theories were fun to make but to test them; she had to put in some work.<\/p>\n

Above the Lost Jungle over city of Sanity:<\/p>\n
After only a few hours of travel, \u2018Stealth Phrygian\u2019 had reached the canopy above Sanity.\u00a0 The great city was in a secluded part of the world.\u00a0 The founders of this city wanted to stay as far as they could from the faction wars and politics that plagued the rest of the world.\u00a0 Only a relative few people knew how to get to the city.\u00a0 Those people got really strong by training in Sanity.<\/p>\n
The pilots signaled the final approach to the Tirzah.\u00a0 In her office, she was still speaking with AD7 and Keyanna.\u00a0 Eighty-Seven was still a prisoner in Rubin\u2019s Trail.\u00a0 They needed to free her.\u00a0 Also, it may help AD7 get her life back.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know your helper more than anyone,\u201d Tirzah reasoned, \u201cWhat do you think she\u2019ll do now that she\u2019s awake?\u201d<\/p>\n
AD7 pondered a bit before speaking. \u00a0 Her memory was still returning but she knew her helper for certain, \u201cI think…\u00a0I think she may try to\u00a0follow my old orders\u00a0again.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the conversation, Keyanna was brought up on AD7\u2019s history.\u00a0 AD7 left simple instructions for her helper.\u00a0 She was to defend the wall from attackers and make defensive adjustments if necessary.\u00a0 Those simple instructions started the crazy war.\u00a0 Those instructions are what she would try to do again.\u00a0 \u201cBut to do that, she\u2019d have to escape,\u201d Keyanna reasoned.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe war started after you were\u2026,\u201d Tirzah paused looking for the most delicate wording.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlown up,\u201d AD7 finished the thought with a shiver.\u00a0 Understandably, she never wanted to go through that again.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d Tirzah said reluctantly before starting agian, \u201cand since then, she led a gruesome war against a powerful army.\u00a0 They were losing until they asked for Champions to help.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was another loud beep on Tirzah\u2019s handheld signaling their landing.\u00a0 \u201cThe planning will have to wait,\u201d she said standing up, \u201cWe have to get you ready to help bust your friend out.\u201d<\/p>\n
