Chapter 113: The Journey Home

The elevator door slid open, revealing the three android figures of Orion, Atlas, and Lyra. Their unique appearances, which had been carefully designed to reflect their distinct personalities and functionalities, made an immediate impression. The room, which had been filled with a gentle hum of conversation, grew momentarily silent as the crew's attention shifted to the newcomers.

Valara, always one to show her surprise, blinked a few times, her green eyes wide. "Well, aren't you three a sight! Orion, I must admit, I'd imagined you taller." She winked playfully, her tone light and teasing.

Orion, now possessing the ability to show a hint of a smirk, responded, "Data projections don't account for everything, Order Master Valara."

Elara, cradling Solan in her arms, approached the trio. Her gaze lingered on Lyra, studying her silvery, graceful appearance. "Lyra, you're stunning. It's amazing to see you like this."
