The next day, a spacecraft came to pick up Han Sen. Clearly, but perhaps unexpectedly, Annie had revealed herself to be a bit of a scrooge. The spacecraft was only a shuttle that was to bring him and Annie to the spaceport so they could charter public transportation and make their own way to Atlantic Planet.

"That's disappointing to hear." Han Sen let out a chuckle, but then went on to ask, "So, why have you asked that I accompany you? Shouldn't I prepare before we get there?"
