"Now then, the-the-the first step is to eject the disc that contains my data and personality. That will get me o-o-out of the mainframe" said the ships AI in a glitchy voice.

Antares walked over to the control panel, and saw a slot above the keyboard.

"And before you eject my disc, I have one question: why are you barefoot?" She asked.

"It's a long story, but I met a teammate who had just woke up from hypersleep. I took him to the room that has the armor and food, but his boots are broken in a hurry. I had to give my boots to him, since it is the rule of being a Cosmic Soldier" he answered.

Without hesitation, he pressed the button to eject the disc. Doing so caused the mainframe (containing the ships AI) to blink off, therefore, the ship no longer has an Ai to supervise. He took the disc from the slot, and explored the Android storage room so he can insert the disc into a functioning android. Some of the androids are broken, while few are in great condition. He found one inactive android that was still hooked up to cables, and it took the form of a blond haired woman wearing navy blue leotard and navy blue knee high boots. He walked at the back of the android, moved it's hair, and sees a slot at the back of its head. Before he can insert the disc, he has to unplug the cables that attaches to the joints. Once he did that, he finally inserts the disc into the back of the androids head.

Suddenly, the android started to twitch and move. The eyes open, revealing to be green, and looked at Antares.

"System status: fully operational" said the android.

"I did what you told me to do, now what?" He asked.

"Shouldn't we drive the space pirates out of here?" She reminded.

"Oh! Right, haven't forgotten about that" he said, tapping his finger on his helmet.

The ships AI, now an android, picks up a laser pistol from the crate. Then the two heard voices coming from the door, but they couldn't even understand what they're saying. Apparently, the voices were saying something about hearing some noises coming from the mainframe/android storage. Antares got ready by raising his shield and pulled out his laser blade, eager to fight.

*pound!*

*pound!*

The sounds of punching the steel door, with each impact left dents. It wasn't long until the door was torn off, revealing aliens armed with weapons, but one is super strong.

"It's showtime!" Antares grinned.

Two aliens began open fire at him, but lucky for him, his shield blocked the bullets without a dent as he charged forth.

*slice*

*slice*

*slice*

He sliced them into pieces with his laser sword like a hot butter knife on butter, and it's a good thing he hasn't forgotten his combat training. Unfortunately, the strong alien punched him to the point that it sent him flying against the wall.

"Do not worry. You handle the strong alien, I'll handle the rest" said the android, firing lasers from her laser pistol.

Antares nodded as he got up, ready for round two. The strong alien roared at him, but he calmly wiped the phlegm off of his visor.

"You really need to practice the intimidation factor, pal" he said in a sarcastic tone.

He watched as the strong alien punches him, and he dodged the attack by a back flip before doing a counter attack of stabbing it's fist. It roared in pain as it flung him towards its head, and then he stabbed it in the head. It's orange colored blood gushes from the wound, and fell to the floor dead. After that, he pulled his laser sword out of the strong aliens head. He sees that the android has already killed the rest of the aliens, without so much of a scratch.

"Wow, I'm surprised that you have killed these guys without a scratch" he complimented.

"Thank you, it is surprising that I knew how to use firearms despite being an AI" said the android.

Antares bent down to examine the corpses, and he recognized that they're wearing an emblem of the space pirates (a simple skull and firearms).

"Looks like we killed the some of the space pirates" he remarked.

"At least the ships cabin isn't too far from here" said the android, projecting a map of the ship from her eyes.

He traced his finger from the mainframe to the cabin northward up the stairs, but he still remembered where the landing bay that has the cruisers needed to go to Cecrops.

"The cabin is where we're going to, then after that, we're heading to the landing bay to get to the planet Cecrops" he said.

"But what about the rest of the Cosmic soldiers in hypersleep?" She asked.

"Since the ships power went down, they will each wake up and thawed out. Then they might try to fix the ship, and get into their cruisers to either get help or go into the planet" he answered.

The two left the mainframe/android storage room, and headed north to the ships cabin. Along the way, they saw Hayato, fully geared up, was captured by two space pirates. They had to kill the space pirates to rescue the fellow Cosmic soldier, and free him.

"Hayato? What are you doing here?" Asked Antares.

"My apologies, I thought about facing the space pirate captain by myself until I was captured" answered Hayato.

"Not by yourself! You could've stayed at the cryopod chamber, where it's safe" scolded Antares.

"Who is this woman?" Asked Hayato.

"This is the ships AI, I removed her disk and insert it into an android body" explained Antares.

"At any moment, the space pirate captain will find out we killed some of his crew. We must hurry or we'll be overwelmed" warned the android.
