GENESIS II AND ASES TEAM.
With the arrival at the Pinjonhn Star, the *ASES* team began to expand, incorporating new members whose unique abilities complemented those of the original team, as well as integrating the newly acquired technologies. Lysandra, Zarek, Kaela, Aidan, and Kara were integrated into the group, bringing forces that further enhanced the capabilities of the *Genesis*.
- **Lysandra "Lys" VanDerWaal**: With the ability to manipulate gravity, Lys controlled gravitational fields with precision, making her one of the most versatile members of the team in combat.
- **Zarek Farsun**: With the ability to manipulate sound, Zarek used sound waves to create traps and disorient enemies, while also proving to be an excellent tool for espionage.
- **Kaela Thorne**: A specialist in camouflage and light manipulation, Kaela proved highly effective in stealth operations, managing to become virtually invisible in any environment.
- **Aidan Kreel**: With the power of temporal manipulation, Aidan slowed enemies and accelerated his own reactions, creating an incomparable strategic advantage.
- **Kara Dune**: With control over earth and metal, Kara used her geokinesis ability to create instant defenses and generate improvised weapons, becoming an essential pillar in direct confrontations.
The expansion of the team brought not only more members but also a strengthening of the **ASES unit**. Together, they would face not only immediate challenges but also prepare for a new era of colonization and defense in the *Genesis* system.
Stood, the visionary leader, decided to begin the construction of **Genesis II**. It would be forged from the knowledge obtained from the abandoned colony of Proxima B, the information from the extinct race of that planet, as well as the valuable discoveries extracted from the captured alien ship.
**Genesis II** would be the ship that would carry the most advanced members of *ASES* to new horizons. With the new members and advanced technologies at their disposal, the *Genesis* and its members were ready to face any challenge the cosmos might present. Working together, they were not only defending their ship but also the future of all humanity.
Another crucial decision made by Stood was to share the accumulated knowledge with Earth, allowing the Federation of Earth's Nations to develop a ship similar to **Genesis I**. Today, part of the Earth's population already inhabited the Moon, while another part resided in the underground of the island where the history of *Genesis* had begun.
Stood knew he could not contain humanity's development forever. However, he also understood the need to regulate access to knowledge, ensuring Earth followed a path of controlled evolution, always one step behind, preventing potential catastrophes. He believed that progress should occur gradually, so humanity wouldn't rush its technological growth.
As the months passed, robots and specialized machines worked tirelessly on the construction of the underground colony and the new ship. The children of *ASES*, now more trained and experienced, applied their knowledge in practice, creating strategies and constantly reassessing their approaches.
Stood and Elisa, in search of a companion that would bring more comfort to their routine, decided to adopt a small telepathic animal. This creature, with the size of a puppy and a soft, panda-like fur, had shell-shaped ears, granting it a remarkable sense of hearing. The animal, dark blue in color that turned nearly black and shiny depending on the lighting, quickly became the team's mascot. Its name was soon decided: **Kiko**. Besides being a source of joy for everyone, Kiko also developed a special connection with the team members.
As the construction of the underground city advanced to its final phase, **Genesis II** was well underway, though still somewhat behind schedule. The urgency was becoming more evident, as Stood knew that time was of the essence. He didn't want to be caught off guard by a possible alien invasion, nor did he want to leave the Pinjonhn Star vulnerable with their presence in the area. His priority was to ensure that **Genesis II** was fully operational as quickly as possible.
With the construction of the ship ongoing and technologies being tested, the *ASES* team prepared for a future full of challenges. They were ready to face any threat, whether from the cosmos or other species that might interfere with humanity's plans. The fate of Earth, the *Proxima B Colony*, and *Genesis II* now rested in the hands of the *ASES*, which continued to grow stronger, knowing that their mission transcended mere exploration.
They would be the guardians of a new world, ready to ensure that humanity would rise once again and prosper, never ceasing to learn from the past and the lessons of the cosmos.
As the time came for the departure of **Genesis I**, **Genesis II** was set to head toward **Genesis I** once the systems updated and became fully operational.
