Unlucky...

"G-dad!"

Ciri shouted with glee as she threw herself at Geralt, who was frozen deep from the unexpected shock, both from seeing his missing... Daughter, and the fact Ciri took him by surprise, something that happened to old witcher really rarely...

And that Ciri called him dad and not Geralt, that was just another blow, not an unwelcomed one, just... Unexpected one...

"Geralt."

"Triss."

Geralt nodded to Triss, who stood by the side, giving her attire once over as he saw some very strange things Triss wore, but when he looked down on Ciri's back, he saw the same things on her...

-------------------------------

"So... You joined a family, this Schnee as a sister of theirs?"

"Yes, Weiss, Aegis, Harriet, aunt Willow, all of them, all of them were and are good on me, maybe even more than they should with how much danger I always drew close to them..."

"Ciri... We already spoke about this, if they truly love you, as you so believe they do, then they wouldn't care about the dangers, Wild Hunt or not, they clearly are very capable from what you are saying..."

"Yea... Yea, they are... Arent they?"

Geralt looked at how Ciri's green eyes softened in thought...

-------------------------------

The fire kept cracking as the sleeping of Ciri was being warmed by its heath, Geralt, who until now watched over her, sighed...

They had a quite long conversation, with Ciri sharing all her adventures, some that made Geralt almost seeth in fear, but all was well, with Ciri's luck in finding such strong allies in these Schnee's...

Just another royal family that wanted to sink their teeth into his daughter...

No... Geralt shook his head, he couldn't think like that, after what Ciri shoved him with that strange device, ironically called Scroll, Geralt was all but sure that these Schnee's, especially this Aegis Schnee, didn't need Ciri's blood nor powers to get what he wants...

All the better with the fact that such a strong individual took Ciri under his wing and gave her both protection and, from what Geralt understood, love too...

And who was Geralt to deny Ciri's choice in partners? He himself knew that you cant order your heart...

"Marvelous, isn't it?"

"Hm?"

Geralt looked on the side where Triss sat, Triss didn't change, no, she became even more beautiful, with her ample body proportions, curves in all right places, and her radiant red hair...

"Don't even think about it."

Triss said with a scoff and smile that fell right after...

"What?"

"That, that look, there will not by sex, not after..."

Triss frowned, and Geralt sighed, yes their relationship was always a rocky one, at one time fiery as Triss' own hair, full of passion, and in others' times, Geralt angered Triss, again...

But the last fight they had... It was about nobody other than Yennefer...

"You made your choice clear... And... And I don't want to let my heart broken, not again..."

Triss said with a sigh and tone full of pain, yet at the same time full of determination...

---------------------------

Morgana hummed, as she was in a specially good mood, thanks to the Horror dimension, as the Solitas called it, there was a non-stop amount of knowledge coming in, from the monsters created by normal human methods, to magical ones, to mundane curses to some rare or even magnificent ones in Morgana's own opinion, to beings from outer reality, in short, the amount of knowledge Sentinel's bring from each mission was astounding...

Normally Morgana wouldn't care for other researchers, even if she was polite to them, after all, nobody knew when she would need their help, but there was no flirting or using her body to gain what she wanted, as Morgana knew how badly that could end, with her being Aegis and all that, still, with the fact there were numerous Earths, all almost same and identical in all but small details like the supposed PLOTs, with monster's and these protagonist's being different...

Album was able to gain for the R&D and all science departments an unlimited amount of death row prisoners, buying them from the numerous USA prisons, corruption, blackmail, and greed were truly big weapons for A.I, like Album, something Morgana could acknowledge without shame...

Morgana opened another video feed, one from the last missions in one of these horror Earths, watching with rapt attention how the demon or being that used to kill through its name...

That one was a very dangerous mission from what Morgana heard, even with how capable Sentinels were, something Morgana knew they are, from the twenty-two Sentinels, just fifteen returned, the seven being killed in the fight against the thing that worms its way into Sentinel's minds, even throught the neural implants and magical wards in said Sentinel heads that served as defense from mental attacks...

It seemed the thing would kill the entire squad, but luckily for their sake, the wards Morgana herself made for such creatures were able to catch the thing...

The same reason Morgana was so giddy, as her sight moved from the video feed on the ward that now housed the enrage thing or spirit...

"Oh, how much fun we will have..."

Morgana said with a sincere smile that didn't reach her pale blue eyes...

---------------------------------

"Father, look, look!"

It was... Something to be called father, Aegis thought, but from the time the knowledge of his and Yasaka's intentions to wed came out, Kunou surprisingly adapted very well, maybe it was because Aegis was always patient and kind to the young fox girl, making her warm up to him in such speed even her mother Yasaka was surprised...

Still, Aegis would lie if he said it didn't warm his heart, watching Kunou, his... Daughter, playing with her stepsister Wynn and Wynne...

Wynn herself seemed to love playing with Kunous fox tails, something Aegis knew was extremely fluffy and comfortable on touch, even Wynne, who tried to play the role of baby, was hardly resisting not just burying her little head into Kunou's tails...

Making Aegis amused at her's acting...

"...It is harmless, yes?"

"Yep! Don't worry! I played with it!"

"...Why doesn't that reassure me?"

Aegis said with a frown as he watched his child, Zoe, who was on his side levitating with a grin on her child's face...

"Don't worry! Don't worry! The Gamer system is now under my domain, at least her's is."

Zoe said with a grin, making Aegis stop for a while, memories of some souls with knowledge about this Gamer system coming out, making him grimace.

"Are you sure?"

"Yep! Don't worry, it doesn't mess with her emotions, nor her mind! At least not any longer, you cant guess how much hard work I needed to do to make it so! Oh, how good im to take care of your daughters like that, right?!"

Zoe grinned at Aegis, who nodded his head.

"And im thankful for your hard work on my behalf..."

"Hmm, hm, still, so interesting how you are managing in hiding her's power grow! You truly wish for her herself to come with the truth, don't you to hide it so much for her sake?"

Zoe asked with a grin of hers, her mismatched eyes watching Aegis in interest.

"Yes..."

Aegis simply said Aegis was doing a lot in making sure both Wynn and Wynne are same their power gaining, with Aegis nurturing their bodies with his magic, Semiramis potions, and numerous Morgana's body enchantment that were made just for babies, and Solitas gene-engineering, both Wynn and Wynne had strength beyond normal baby's body, all of that done in a way that it wouldn't hamper or hurt their natural grow...

And with Aegis sending more magic to Wynn to match up to this Gamer system Wynne had, Aegis was cautious in balancing all of it...

"So, I thought!"

"No."

Aegis simply said, making Zoe stop and look at him.

"No?"

Zoe slowly asked.

"Not until Solitas has a foothold in the Hell dimension, no until im sure they don't need me, and absolutely no to any long-term mission until im sure I can't come back at least for one day in the week to look on my daughters."

Zoe hummed, her grin gone as she watched Aegis, who was watching her with equal dead expression until Zoe grinned.

"You know! I like it! Why not? I will give you time and means to return at least for one day in the week on your next assignment!"

Zoe said with a grin, making Aegis nod his head, Aegis didn't believe that Zoe would lie to him, something told Aegis he didn't need to worry, at least not too much...

In the end, the duo returned their attention to the playing girls...

---------------------------------

Winter looked at the people before her, even if it was not her duty, her little brother said she should do it herself, make a name for herself, other than the big sister of the king and eldest daughter of Schnee's...

Even if Winter didn't exactly like doing this, her time could be used in a much better way, like training her Royal guards, or spend time with her cute nieces, or even visiting her little brother and having sex with him, something Winter promised she would do right immediately after she completes her current assignment...

"And with hopes to breach better relationship betweens Solitas and Earth, we are gifting you two completely unharmed Hatak class goauld ships."

Winter said as she shoved a video feed with her scroll, ignoring the gobsmacked and unprofessional faces of the Earth humans...

It wasn't truly a gift as much as Solitas's way to get rid of these things without the need to disassemble them, something that was found being tiresome with how these goauld ships were made of...

So as to kill two birds with one stone, Solitas chose to give these primitive ships to their... Allies? If the Earth humans could be called such as...

"Wait, wait, wait a dammed second, you mean, you, Solitas, you guys who don't want to give us any military tech of yours, are willing to give us fully functioning space ships? Where is the catch?"

The unprofessional man called Jack O'Neill asked, making Winter's brow twitched in annoyance at the clear disrespect of the command chain... Still, Winter tried to be polite as she could, after all, with these two ships, Solitas wouldn't need to bail Earth from any problem they could bring on themselves...

Or it would just add oil to the fire, but Winter truly hoped to not deal with these people...

"Yes... As goauld ships are something you would be capable of obtaining for yourself, albeit in exchange for the loss of life, because of your primitive weapons and space battle tactics, Solitas doesn't see this as a breach of any of our laws..."

Winter simply said, please take it, so I can finally leave, Winter silently thought...

"I see... We thank you and Solitas for their kindness, but such... An event needs to be dealt with our president, I fear it would take time to finalize it, even if it was just a gift without any strings attached..."

The bald general said, making Winter's hope flow away like in winter winds...

Winter sighed, she knew her luck wouldn't be so good...
