Chapter 144: Lys'aenel

Caden's footsteps were silent as he entered the bridge of the Olympus, the familiar hum of the ship's systems surrounding him. He took in the sight, the changes, and the familiar faces, along with the newer ones, all working in tandem to keep the ship running smoothly.

Orion, with his deep blue holographic interface, was overseeing various ship diagnostics, the glow from the screens reflecting off his humanoid figure. Lyra, with her holographic map expanding and contracting as she worked on navigation, was engrossed in plotting the course, her hair like a cascade of shimmering light.

Over at the weapons console, Atlas, with his broad, powerful frame, was explaining something to Solan, who listened intently. The young Sylvari's eyes sparkled with curiosity as Atlas showed him different aspects of the ship's defense systems. The fact that Solan was studying weapon systems on a ship as advanced as the Olympus was an intriguing twist to Caden.
