Aboard the now-repaired scouting vessel, Captain Ilsa and her team prepared for departure. The robots, with their advanced technology, had not only fixed the ship but enhanced it, a silent testament to their capabilities. Before lifting off, Captain Ilsa turned to the robotic emissary that had guided them through this extraordinary journey. "Thank you for your assistance and for entrusting us with the Shielding Halo. We will not forget the wisdom of the Forgers."
The robotic figure, its sensors briefly illuminating in what could be interpreted as a nod, responded, "The path ahead is yours to shape. Use the Halo wisely, Captain Ilsa."
With those parting words, the ship ascended, leaving the hidden world of the forge behind, its secrets and guardians fading into the darkness of space.
Upon arrival at Aldred's flagship, Captain Ilsa was swiftly debriefed and ushered into the command center where Aldred awaited.
