She idly flicked on the news after lunch to see her husband, Richard Saunders, in action. The news came up with Richard finishing a bit of news. \u201c&#8230;but assures us he is in good spirits. In other news, A Mr. Mackerelempat, a Tarlaxian bus driver living here in Beyond City, has declared his intent to hold After Academy and Beyond City as his hostage and will not release them until he is paid ninety trillion studs and elected Mayor and Grand Poobah of New York City. Mr. Mackerelempat, whom school and city officials, as well as a good number of the student body and citizens, say is not playing with a full deck, says he will not disclose the location of the school and city, but does say they have enough food and water to last for ten more days. Police have informed us that he is supposed to be on medication to deal with his current mental issues and it has been discovered he had stopped taking his medication about three days ago.\u201d Just then, Richard read something more on the teleprompter. \u201cThis just in; another ransom note has been found with further demands from Mr. Mackerelempat. He is demanding two Christmases each year and a hug from Mommy every night. The note has been traced and Mr. Mackerelempat has been located. A single Police Officer has managed to get him to come out peacefully and he is being treated for his mental issues as we speak, thanks to the Police Officer calling the necessary doctors. In local news, library officials are announcing amnesty on all overdue library books. They have stated that all fines on overdue library books will be forgiven if the books are returned to the newsroom within three seconds. &#8230;Three seconds? The teleprompter must need repairs.\u201d Just then, a ton of books fell from the ceiling, burying Richard. He managed to swim his way to the top of the pile and cleared his throat before reading the news. \u201cLibrary officials will be sorting through the books returned and will see if any are still missing. Now for any concerns addressing the upcoming Convergence, this WILL pass quickly. Such phenomena concerning the Convergence include people ending up in different universes involved in this event, temporary see-through images of people, and general confusion. Vorton and After Academy HAVE been identified as universes involved in this event of universes coming together. This event has been known to cause wars and spark animosity towards life-forms across universes. However, officials wish to assure everyone that such animosity WILL be prevented with this Convergence. Even if Shocker Rift intends to capitalize on this, they WILL be prevented from doing so. That is all from Multiverse News Network. Good day.\u201d At that, Megumi switched the t.v. off. She then sat on the couch for a while, contemplating her next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Does my wedding dress still fit me?\u201d she mused to herself. \u201cI better check.\u201d She was considering the upcoming anniversary of her marriage to Richard. As she pondered, the phone rang. She snapped out of her thoughts and picked it up. \u201cMoshi moshi,\u201d she greeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHello, Megumi!\u201d cheered the voice on the other end. Megumi smiled as she recognized it as her husband, Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI saw your broadcast today,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, about that,\u201d remarked Richard, \u201cDeath told me that\u2019s one of only a few things you do when I\u2019m not around.\u201d Megumi winced. \u201cSomething\u2019s bothering you, what is it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;X-PO, as of late,\u201d replied Megumi. \u201cI\u2019ve visited counselors, talked to our friends, tried to do something to get my mind off of him, but the trial three years ago keeps creeping up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about him these days too,\u201d sighed Richard. \u201cI still see him as our friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI do too,\u201d moaned Megumi. \u201cIt\u2019s just&#8230;I\u2019ve had flashbacks from when Hiro tried to retrieve me after leaving me to the streets before Okaa-san found me and adopted me during that trial. Back then, my testimony brought a bad man to justice. Now&#8230;I feel like I\u2019ve betrayed my best friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy testimony got X-PO locked up too,\u201d muttered Richard. \u201cI don\u2019t know if my feelings match yours exactly, but I do understand where both our feelings are coming from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Maybe we need to spend some time together,\u201d mused Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe haven\u2019t really done much of that lately, have we?\u201d replied Richard. \u201cWell, our anniversary is coming up. Maybe a trip somewhere new would help?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCan we also renew our vows Tarlaxian style?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Inspired by Scorpainia and Mechanipant\u2019s renewal of their vows?\u201d guessed Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYep,\u201d confirmed Megumi. \u201cI was going to see if my wedding dress still fit me. Who knows, maybe I\u2019ll still be wearing it when you get home?\u201d There was a slight sexy purr in her voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just need to see if my tux still fits me,\u201d Richard purred back. \u201cI\u2019ll see you when&#8230;\u201d Just then, Richard\u2019s voice abruptly stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, playing a bit of hard-to-get, are we?\u201d giggled Megumi. \u201c&#8230;Richard? &#8230;Richard?!\u201d A bit of panic replaced her happy mood. She dashed towards the house\u2019s computer console and pressed a button. \u201cComputer, gather all available data on Richard Saunders and display the current data!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEyewitness accounts have reported Richard Saunders vanishing and leaving his phone behind,\u201d reported the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Convergence!\u201d realized Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe accounts support that theory,\u201d droned the computer. \u201cOn a related note, further eyewitness accounts state that a fighter jet of advanced design is in a holding pattern above this street. Accounts also state that the jet is red and white and sport the Decepticon symbol on its wings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA Decepticon above our street?!\u201d yelped Megumi. \u201cNot while I\u2019m around!\u201d She dashed into the bedroom and opened a drawer, pulling out her transformation device and putting it to her waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVortex Driver!\u201d it announced. She then pulled out a small, blue disc and inserted it into the belt. She then struck a pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHenshin!\u201d she called. She then spun the wheel and a machine was generated that fastened armor onto her. The machine disappeared as her Rider Armor was complete. She was now Kamen Rider Royal! She dashed out of the house and looked to the sky to find the jet with the Decepticon symbol on the wings. She drew her blade, converted it to rifle mode, and fired upwards, near the jet\u2019s nosecone. Someone squawked as the jet pulled up. Then&#8230;it confirmed Megumi\u2019s suspicions. The nosecone and the fuselage\u2019s underside split away from the upper part and then that assembly split in half and swung to the sides. The nosecone then rotated towards the back and flipped upwards to reveal hands. As the upper half of the fuselage and the cockpit folded to the underside of the jet, the wings rotated so the angles were pointing towards the engines. Speaking of the engines, the assembly had split away to reveal extensions and then combined again once the extensions had&#8230;well&#8230;extended. Parts of the underside folded downwards to make toes for the feet and a head popped out of the new torso. The head had red optics and an angry expression. The resulting robot landed on his feet and caused the pavement of the street to crack from the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll right, who had the nerve to try and frighten the mighty Starscream?!\u201d bellowed the robot as rectangular canisters popped out of his upper arms and extended thin tubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, a bit of a disconnect there,\u201d chuckled Royal. \u201cIn most of the realities I\u2019ve witnessed, \u2018Mighty\u2019 and \u2018Starscream\u2019 never go together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost of the&#8230;?\u201d stumbled Starscream before he realized what was happening. \u201cNot more alternate universe scrap! We\u2019re still rebuilding from that fiasco with Nemesis Prime!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, this event is beyond anyone\u2019s control,\u201d I remarked. \u201cBut, if you\u2019re good, I can&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cForget it!\u201d declared Starscream. \u201cI\u2019m not going to cooperate with fleshlings! I already deal with that stupid Eggman!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEggman?\u201d repeated Royal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou won\u2019t live long enough to find out what I mean!\u201d shrieked Starscream as he fired. Royal got out of the way with a dodge roll and swapped her i.d. tag for a new one. A trio of circles with versions of the person the i.d. tag was based off of orbited her, confusing her as, last time she saw this particular person, she only had one form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell, nothing ventured, nothing gained,\u201d shrugged Megumi as she chose one of the new forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWyldstyle True Form Steel!\u201d called the Vortex Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrue form?\u201d repeated Royal. Her armor changed to look like Wyldstyle at the end of&nbsp;<em>The Lego Movie 2: Second Part<\/em>. \u201cWhat in the&#8230;?!\u201d yelped Royal as her helmet\u2019s HUD showed what she looked like on the outside. \u201cWyldstyle has blue hair?! I thought it was&#8230;!\u201d Starscream fired again, interrupting her thoughts. \u201cI\u2019ll ask her later!\u201d Royal then grabbed various objects and fastened them together to make a large cannon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat good will THAT do you?!\u201d laughed Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHopefully, a lot!\u201d replied Royal. She fired and managed to knock Starscream back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, that\u2019s enough for today!\u201d gulped Starscream as he recovered. \u201cI\u2019d stick around, but I\u2019m squeamish!\u201d He transformed back into jet mode and flew off&#8230;for a short distance. A car with hover generators then slammed onto Starscream\u2019s back, causing him to crash. Once he landed, he transformed and got a look at the people coming out of the car. Royal saw them too and was surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Team Dark?\u201d she muttered. It was, indeed, Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat, and E123-Omega. Just then, the car started changing! Arms swung out from underneath the front at the wheel wells with the hover generators becoming shoulder pads. The front then tilted downwards 90\u2070 as the rear of the car pulled away from the passenger area and rotated at a waist so the spoilers became toes. The doors became wings as the top of the car became the rear of the robot as his head popped out from the front of the car. \u201cAnother Transformer?!\u201d gulped Royal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYo, Screamer!\u201d called the new robot. \u201cHow\u2019s it hanging?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease tell me you\u2019re, at least, from my universe!\u201d moaned Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Why, are you expecting Nemesis Prime\u2019s version of me?\u201d asked the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStarscream, you\u2019re under arrest for attacking a public venue!\u201d growled Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpecifically, the concert I was part of!\u201d supplied the robot. \u201cDo you know how many people were hurt thanks to you?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThank Primus, you\u2019re the Jazz of MY universe!\u201d sighed Starscream. He then regained his composure. \u201cIn any event, you Black Arms runt, I am not bound by the laws of an inferior species!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou almost roasted everyone alive!\u201d argued the robot, Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConquest is made from the ashes of one\u2019s enemies,\u201d dismissed Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey were civilians!\u201d retorted Jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey support you Autobots!\u201d countered Starscream. \u201cThat\u2019s enough to call them the enemy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI take it you\u2019re not coming quietly, big boy?\u201d purred Rouge in her usual teasing manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not swayed by ugly organics!\u201d hissed Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Big mistake!\u201d snarled Rouge. She flew into the air and swiped Starscream\u2019s face with her boots. Starscream howled in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cARE YOUR BOOTS DIAMOND-TIPPED?!\u201d he squawked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCHAOS SPEAR!\u201d called Shadow. He fired spear-shaped bolts of energy at Starscream\u2019s wings and damaged them. Starscream clutched his wing and screamed in further pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGRHRGH! Stupid organics!\u201d he gasped. \u201cTime to roast you!\u201d He leveled his guns at the attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s an idea!\u201d droned Omega. He then revealed his arsenal and aimed at Starscream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Mommy!\u201d squeaked Starscream before Omega fired. Starscream managed to find cover and fired back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOkay, no, this is NOT a thing I\u2019m putting up with today!\u201d hissed Royal as she spun the wheel on her Vortex Driver and rebuilt the cannon into a giant foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFinal Attack!\u201d called the belt. Royal leapt into the air as the giant foot attached itself to her leg. As she extended her foot, Jazz was shooting at Starscream\u2019s cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRIDER ROYAL WYLDSTYLE TRUE FORM KICK!\u201d she shouted as the foot connected with Starscream\u2019s face. Starscream was knocked onto his rear from the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTry that again!\u201d he snarled. \u201cI fragging&#8230;!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey! Scrap-for-brains!\u201d called a woman\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWHAT NOW?!\u201d roared Starscream as he turned around to see a giant boulder coming towards him. \u201c&#8230;Primus save my&#8230;!\u201d he didn\u2019t finish his prayer as the boulder crashed into him, shattering on impact. He fell as his optics went from red to black. Jazz ran up to investigate and waved a scanner over him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;Huh,\u201d he mused. \u201cYou would think that would have snuffed his Spark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s still alive?!\u201d gulped Royal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, just in stasis lock until his internal damage is repaired,\u201d replied Jazz. \u201cNow, the question becomes, where did that boulder come from?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver here!\u201d called the woman\u2019s voice from before. Everyone still conscious turned to see a young woman, a man, and a dog-like woman with ten arms approach them. \u201cSorry for stealing your kill,\u201d apologized the young woman, \u201cbut you looked like you were in danger, so my folks and I decided to help you out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate the assistance, Ms&#8230;.\u201d thanked Royal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOh, how rude of me!\u201d the young woman hissed to herself. \u201cIntroductions! I\u2019m Malnar Emboramii, Crown Princess of the Under-realm. This is&#8230;\u201d The young woman, Malnar, then got a grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo! Not the titles!\u201d begged the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPresenting my father, King Orbak Emboramii,\u201d continued Malnar in an exaggerated voice, \u201cThe Ruler of All That he Sees, Keeper of the Realm&#8217;s Freedom, and He who commands kindly, but firmly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat did I say about the titles thing to new people?!\u201d grumbled the man, Orbak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHad to needle you, Daddy,\u201d giggled Malnar. \u201cPresenting his wife, my mo&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll introduce myself, thank you,\u201d interrupted the dog-woman in a motherly warning tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, Mama,\u201d gulped Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Elmpam Emboramii, Orbak\u2019s second wife,\u201d introduced the dog-woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy dearest Bride, did you really need to tell them that?\u201d asked Orbak. \u201cIt almost sounds like you\u2019re selling yourself short.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI assure you, I\u2019m not, my kind Lover,\u201d replied Elmpam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI take it they dote on each other?\u201d Royal asked Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeen doing that since I was two,\u201d confirmed Malnar. \u201cThey married after my mother died.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAh, your step-mom,\u201d realized Royal as she cancelled her transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYep,\u201d replied Malnar. \u201cAnd a wonderful mother to me and my sisters. Now, forgive me if I sound rude, but I didn\u2019t catch your names.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConsidering you introduced yourself before asking questions,\u201d mused Jazz, \u201cI don\u2019t see any rudeness. I\u2019m First Lieutenant Jazz of the Autobot Militia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Agent Shadow, leader of Team Dark,\u201d growled Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Agent Rouge,\u201d introduced Rouge as she gave a teasing wink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am E123-Omega,\u201d droned Omega.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m Hishikawa Megumi,\u201d finished Megumi, \u201cKamen Rider Royal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKamen Rider?!\u201d gasped Jazz. He had a fanboyish smile on him. \u201cI\u2019ve met an actual Kamen Rider! My fanboy dreams have come true!\u201d He then squeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI take it the&nbsp;<em>Kamen Rider<\/em>&nbsp;franchise exists in your universe?\u201d asked Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSure does!\u201d confirmed Jazz. \u201cI\u2019m a huge fan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUniverse?\u201d quizzed Shadow. \u201cAre you telling me that we\u2019re in another universe?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy current home of Beyond City,\u201d explained Megumi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEr, are we calling the Realms \u2018universes\u2019 now?\u201d asked Orbak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;I think we need to chat a bit about things,\u201d declared Megumi. \u201cBut first&#8230;\u201d she pulled out her phone and activated the house computer from it. \u201cHave any Feudal Nerd Society members vanished into thin air?\u201d she asked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAffirmative,\u201d replied the computer. \u201cA few have been located on Vorton, but others have yet to be found.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCompile a list of the missing members,\u201d Megumi commanded. The house computer did so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCompilation complete,\u201d it reported as the police managed to get Starscream\u2019s unconscious form onto a flatbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDisplay,\u201d ordered Megumi. The list popped up. \u201cLet\u2019s see, Richard, Hiroki, Tanisha, Lukas, Xiomara, Sheela, Lacey, Flora, Charline, Brenden, Death, Pestilence, Alesandro, Liam, Jason, Peach, and Usagi I. All right, we need to find them! Your Majesties, Team Dark, Mr. Jazz, let\u2019s compare notes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat do you mean Jansha just faded into thin air?!\u201d roared Dr. Borg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith respect, Dr. Borg,\u201d replied Tormo, \u201cI don\u2019t know how much clearer I can be. Jansha faded into thin air and we have found no magical trace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScour the Realms!\u201d ordered Dr. Borg. \u201cRip cities apart if you must, but Jansha is to come back to us ALIVE!\u201d Just then, a face popped up on the monitor. It was a male human face, and it was grinning. \u201cWho in the depths?!\u201d yelped Dr. Borg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCalm yourself,\u201d replied the man, \u201cI only want to talk. Specifically, I want to talk to you about this lovely lady here.\u201d He moved aside to reveal Jansha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m okay, Dr. Borg,\u201d assured Jansha. \u201cThis man was trying to find our universe, and no, I do NOT mean \u2018Realm\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnother universe?\u201d asked Tormo. \u201cYou mean, like a different reality?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExactly,\u201d replied Jansha. \u201cApparently, an event is going on called a Convergence, where different realities are coming together. Hiro has an offer for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake it quick,\u201d Dr. Borg warned Hiro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat would you say,\u201d offered Hiro, \u201cif I offered to make you the absolute ruler of all the Realms, as you desire? No queens, no kings, no councils, just you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI intend to have a ruling council in the future,\u201d countered Dr. Borg. \u201cHaving one person make all the decisions is inefficient and unreliable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJust making an offer,\u201d assured Hiro. \u201cJust trying to build a bridge,\u201d he and Jansha then vanished into a blue vortex of energy and came into the same room as Dr. Borg, \u201cbetween Shocker Rift and a potential ally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPerhaps you can explain why you were trying to contact me in the first place,\u201d hissed Dr. Borg once she got over her initial fright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Convergence,\u201d explained Hiro, \u201cgives us a rare opportunity for our universes to come together and face a threat that exists in the multiverse. A very dangerous criminal called Caan has escaped my custody and intends to rip reality apart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNone of which is my concern,\u201d dismissed Dr. Borg as she headed towards the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s very short-sighted of you, Doctor!\u201d called Hiro. Dr. Borg stopped. \u201cThink about it. What\u2019s to stop Caan from attacking your little band?\u201d Dr. Borg faced Hiro again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWas that a threat?\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs I have said,\u201d replied Hiro, \u201cCaan is a dangerous criminal that has escaped my custody. I\u2019m trying to bring him back, but have met with little success. However, I am merely functioning on technology and don\u2019t have the necessary magic to expand my search.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo you come to me?\u201d asked Dr. Borg. \u201cWhy should I help?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJansha has told me of your little Realmfleet problem when she appeared on my vessel,\u201d explained Hiro. \u201cYou only have one vessel, correct? I can offer you thousands, with millions of crewmembers under your direct control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c&#8230;That IS a good step in building a bridge between us,\u201d mused Dr. Borg. \u201cShall we discuss this over dinner? You and your senior staff are invited.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe would be delighted,\u201d agreed Hiro. \u201cI just need to return to my ship. How soon can you expect us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAbout an hour,\u201d answered Dr. Borg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll return in one of your hours, then. Farewell,\u201d bid Hiro. He opened a rift and left Dr. Borg to consider things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was another day with nothing on Megumi\u2019s schedule.
