It didn't take long before the void shuttle carrying Orion's team reached near Planet Roele. That was the name of the 3-star planet to which their mission was assigned.
All the planets under the rule of the Darkwood Family were close to each other and clustered around the main planet, Morse. The distance between these planets was not far, so it took Orion's group only three hours to reach their destination.
"Young Master, you have to see this!"
At that moment, Alex's cry reached Orion's ears, who was sitting in the conference hall of the void shuttle with his team.
'What happened?'
Orion frowned as he heard him, unable to understand why he sounded so anxious.
Soon, Alex arrived in the conference room and pointed at the wall on the other side.
Almost instantly, the wall blurred, and a screen appeared in front of them, showing the planet Roele, where they were about to land.
"Young Master, see this!"
Alex pointed at the planet Roele. He didn't need to, though, as Orion and his team's attention were immediately caught by the sight of the planet.
"What happened here?"
They were shocked to witness trails of smoke rising from the planet as they reached it. These trails of smoke weren't just one or two but at least a hundred of them, considering how dense they appeared when they were seen so far from their void shuttle.
"Young Master, what should we do? Should we land on the planet Roele or not?" Alex asked, his voice tinged with anxiousness.
Orion himself didn't know that answer. Meanwhile, as he looked at the planet, he wondered what happened to cause such a scene as this.
'We should check out.'
In the end, he decided to check out the planet and see what really caused this catastrophe. Knowing that their mission was meant to be on this planet, he thought this might very well be the task his family wanted them to undertake, though he wasn't certain.
Considering that this planet was under their family's rule and they were the first to notice the incident on Roele, it would be irresponsible not to investigate.
"Head down."
Alex nodded seriously and left. Although he didn't want to go there, he couldn't do anything about it since his young master wanted to go there.
Moments later, the void shuttle closed in on the planet and they could see the scene of the planet Roele in detail.
That was what he said to them to convince them that this might be the mission the family wanted them to do, while at the same time, that was what he said to himself too.
Tray and Lucy looked at each other and didn't know what to make of Orion's words. They could tell it wasn't a mission considering the destruction this planet had caused.
Although their family took the assessment missions very seriously, it wasn't on the scale of this. They wouldn't want to destroy a planet for something as simple as creating a mission for themselves. It sounded stupid and mad.
At that moment, Dustin stepped up, seeing the stalemate between the three.
"How about this? We do as Brother Orion says and check out the officials before we inform our family about this."
Orion nodded to him. That was what he wanted all along.
Tray and Lucy looked at each other before they sighed and agreed on what Dustin suggested.
"Alright, we do this your way."
Orion nodded at them for trusting him with his decision and turned to Alex.
"Alex, hide the void shuttle somewhere safe. This is our only ticket to leave this planet."
Alex nodded and went on to do what Orion wanted but he was stopped by Orion once again.
"Wait a minute, Alex. Give me your contact badge."
Alex took out his badge and gave it to Orion.
Taking it in his hand, Orion looked at his teammates.
"Only Lucy, Tray, Dustin, and I will be going to investigate. The others will stay here with Alex and Maria for safety measures, so don't argue about this. Also, Alex, I might contact you if the situation is as bad as we imagine, so be ready to come to us at any time."
Everyone nodded, agreeing that this was the best course of action if they wanted to investigate the planet.
"Alright, we are leaving, and Alex, make sure nobody leaves the void shuttle." Orion said to Alex.
Alex nodded and entered the void shuttle with everyone else. Meanwhile, Orion, Tray, Lucy, and Dustin set off to investigate.
