Ch20

After hearing what Firefly said Taylor felt displeased at the choice she made.

Even though he understands why she made that choice that still doesn't mean that he is happy that she didn't inform his wives about the situation he was in.

" Firefly you should understand why I'm not happy with you doing that, right?" Taylor questioned.

" Yes I do Taylor I still remember the vows you gave to each of them at every wedding you had for each one of them." Firefly replied after raising her head to look at him.

" And can you tell me which of my vows your actions went against?" Taylor asked while emphasising certain words.

Firefly looked down for a moment then she looked towards Taylor and replied, " through the good and the bad, the thick and thin, I will be there for you as you are for me, that's the one."

" Yes it is, and even though I will forgive you for making that decision as I also understand why you did, you need to tell them what you did and apologise to them for keeping it a secret." Taylor said with care in his voice.

Firefly moves to sit at the edge of Taylor's bed.

" The aren't going to be happy with me, will they." She said.

" Yea probably not, and I don't know if they can forgive you but that's something you can only hope for while not being disappointed if it isn't given to you." Said Taylor.

Taylor and Firefly just sat in silence, Firefly could fell the weight of her choice while Taylor just sat and reminded present for her.

After a few minutes Firefly readied herself for her first meeting.

" Ok I'm ready to properly meet your wives." Firefly said.

" Well that's good but I think that I should still rest for another hour." Taylor still felt his body and soul need a short while to be completely recovered.

Firefly understood and continued to care for Taylor until he completely recovered.

…

After Taylor recovered he learned from Firefly that 1O had come to report that the item that he had found when he was checking out the edge of the Milky Way galaxy.

Taylor would go and check on it after introducing Firefly to everyone.

Once Taylor was washed and dressed he called all the androids to the meeting room so he will introduce to the results of his constant work from all the recent years.

…

In the meeting room the Androids were arriving on mass, all curious as to what creation Taylor has made.

They also noticed that Taylor was already in his seat with an area beside him curtained off so that androids were certain that behind the curtains was what he has been working on.

Once all the androids had arrived and had seated,Taylor stood up and began to speak.

" Well I'm glad to have you all here, now I am sure you have all been curious about what I have been working on."

Taylor then proceeds to explain to his wives that from the day he first awakened in the universe he was always accompanied by another soul that had merged with him making sure not to mention the system or the reality alteration, not because he didn't trust them but because it is safer for that knowledge to remain with him… and God.

And so from the time he returned with Albion he had been in research on how to separate their souls as well as create a body that can host the other soul.

He then explained how that research had been finished 18 years ago and he was working on a fully functional body for the soul and some of the problems that happened during its creation.

" Then 12 days ago I had finished, the soul is now in the body and now I will introduce them to you." Taylor then pulled down the curtains,

And firefly was revealed before everyone one.

The vast majority of the Androids were excited to get to know Firefly, however the Androids from the research group were very concerned as they were unaware of this when making the code.

And obviously 1O was the most concerned as just yesterday she had reported to Taylor but with this revelation she was viewing the events of yesterday from a different perspective, and the conclusions she reached scared her greatly.

However the Androids that did kitchen work weren't thinking about the oddity that was the dishes have not come any time during the last 12 days.

After a full round of Firefly introducing herself to each person there, Firefly returned to Taylor's side.

" Now that Introductions are over, firefly has something she wishes to tell you all about the last 12 days."

Firefly then stepped forward and began to tell them all about what she had done the last 12 days.

Obviously none of them were happy to have learned what had happened and that it was kept hidden from them but what surprised both Taylor and Firefly was how many of the wives were willing to forgave Firefly.

The First to forgive Firefly is 2B she walked right over to Firefly and gave her a full hug and thanked her for taking care of Taylor while he wasn't in the best of health.

The second was Nala and while still unhappy, was much more relieved that Taylor was ok and so had no problems with giving her forgiveness to Firefly.

The First to express her non-forgiveness was 1O not only for hiding the truth from everyone but also for what she realised was Firefly giving the code clearly to just get rid of her.

By the end about 98% of the girls forgave Firefly and so she still felt very welcomed, but she would often try and earn the forgiveness of the other girls.

…

The next day Taylor arrived at the research lab and see what the research group have been able to learn about the item that he found.

Looking back, Taylor found it at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy and it kept moving away from the galaxy, out into deep space, obviously it wasn't of his own creation nor created by any of his androids or a robots.

It's shape was similar to the barrel of a sci-fi plasma gun, but it had a rocket attached to the end for propulsion as well as solar panels being what surrounded it, unless but not least it had a cover for what clearly appeared to be a USB entry port yet with a different shape.

Instead of the rectangle he was used to it was in the shape of an octagon.

So naturally he began searching the entire galaxy to see where it came from, his forces have been slowly expanding and now his forces encompass about 40% of the entire Milky Way galaxy at the time.

The reason for the slow expansion is because Taylor wanted to have full infrastructure at every solar system for his massive army of robots, 20% of the total Taylor has given them the spark from the skill he got from Han Xiao's mechanical skills and knowledge.

Needless to say nowhere in the areas that his forces have claimed was anywhere that such technology could be made.

So Taylor needed to check the remaining 60% of the Milky Way galaxy and even though it was a vast area he managed to completely check the remaining area in 15 earth years thanks to his faster than light travel.

So that left him with 2 possibilities, the first it came from a different galaxy and the second is that it came from the future.

And the easiest way to do that for Taylor was to check its temporal flow, if it came from the future, then the temporal flow would be like shaping and fitting a birchwood star and putting it in Oakwood star shaped hole, it just doesn't belong.

So he used both magic and technology to check it's temporal flow, relieved he could confirm that it doesn't belong to this time period and while he would have loved to research it himself he was too busy focusing on his research for Firefly.

But while Taylor was spending millions of years researching what he needed for Firefly, he forgot to give the item to the research group and so only after all his research that had any relation to Firefly, did he realise that he had never given it to them.

So for the last 18 years give or take a few months have the research group been able to work on it.

…

Once he entered the lab section that held the item he began talking to 1O to see what the research group have discovered about it.

" From what we have found it's temporal flow appears to be from about 4.45 - 4.5 billion years into the future." 1O reported.

Even though that is a 50 million year time period it is the best that can currently be done, after all anything related to time tends to be a very tricky branch of study, and the research group have only had roughly 18 years to work on this.

" Also after the last 16 years of checks and protections the data we got from using the specially crafted USB we have recently begun decoding the data and we have been saving them for your eyes to see first." 1O finished reporting.

" Thank you 1O you and all the others have been working extremely hard thank you all." Taylor said with a smile on his lips.

1O smiled back very happy that all the groups work was appreciated.

Taylor then began to look over the data that had been completely decoded and then he realised exactly what the item was.
