I can't help that the mood has been ruined by what has transpired in the last 30 or so minutes. We've eaten our food in silence and are now leaving the restaurant. Jess is walking beside me, with her head down. She is still thinking about what we just went through.

Taking her mind off of it seems like the next best step. We continue to walk the circular pathway of the spaceport and pass shops. I already know what they all sell, and many more are completely worthless to me. Jess looks at the many stores we pass with curiosity.

Many different aliens are walking around, and many of them make eyes at us as we walk. Most of them are looking at Jess. I look around myself, and I also see other Arn Zael scattered here and there. Male and female. Jess attracts more attention than most since she is a natural beauty.

I look at the Arn Zael players that we pass from time to time. I can see the slight shame on some of their faces. I don't know why, but it does bring solace that Jess and I weren't the only ones to get put in that situation.

I can be glad I'm a Primordium. "Do you think that what happened to us has happened to the others that choose the Arn Zael race? I can't imagine the kind of drama that's going to be coming out about all this soon..." No doubt, I bet news stations and reporters are just hearing about what people with Arn Zael characters are doing.

It's going to add even more fuel to the already raging fire of lawsuits against the company that authorized and funded the creation of The Aeternus Universe. GBFT inc. has so many problems from this.

I'm sure that the devs of the game are under scrutiny too. However, they didn't develop the technology that caused people to change. They only made the game. GBFT inc. are the creators of the custom scanning software.

It required a separate download from their official site into my ZSR. "It's okay, Jess. Our situation is going to be different. A child is expensive, and we don't have to worry about the biggest problem, which is money. It's nice I'll be able to spend my money on something finally." I'm speaking from my heart too. All my money does is sit in my account and my stocks.

She seems to forget that. Raising a kid is actually fun and enjoyable if you have the finances to do so. Which I easily have. "So what have you come to learn about The Aeternus Universe and Empyrian. I haven't played enough to know even the basic information." Jess sounds genuinely interested too.

She was the gamer in our family before me. She may not love lore as much as me, but she has the same desire to know about the place she's in. I could go on a spill about Empyrian's history and subsequently The Impyra galaxy in which we reside. Starting off with something actually awesome might be good. Nothing drool as when the first time Empyrian was colonized.

An actual interesting fact. "I have learned a great many things." She looks at me expectantly. "The most interesting is that The Aeternus Universe is truly an entire universe that you can explore. You can travel to a system that's never been discovered before. Find a habitable planet and lay claim to it. Use it for a colony and make money from it. There are endless possibilities." You can spend your entire life exploring a planet.
