Chapter ?1029 I Will Be Participating In IYSOP Author's Note: Unedited Chapters --------------------------- He then recalled General Sourkrat looking everywhere for him at the time he was creating a cure for the ashy infection. "Oh," Gustav nearly facepalmed as he reminisced. ------------------------------------- Gustav mind reeled back to reality at this point. "It doesn't really matter anyways, we'll be leaving for IYSOP in six months time anyways," Gustav stated. "We?" Falco voiced with a curious tone. "You've decided to participate?" Matilda asked with a slightly surprised look. "Yes. I will be participating in IYSOP," Gustav disclosed. They all had excited looks as they heard that. "But I won't be joining you guys in the training though..." Gustav added. "The training is mandatory," Falco stated. "Not for me... I'll be busy with other things," Gustav said with an unbothered expression. "By the way I got a mission for you five," Gustav added. Everyone gathered around him as they heard this. "I will be able to add you guys to my platoon if you're able to successfully complete this mission so don't mess it up," Gustav pointed out with a serious tone. "Sure, just tell us what the mission is," Teemee voiced in response. "My body is itching to finally be on the battlefield hahaha," Ria said with an excited look. ---------------------- The day went by very quickly and Gustav had spent this time making enquiries, passing information and preparing the other five for their mission in two days time. For E.E and the others, they were still cruising across the galaxy due to the distance of Mendologas planet. The galaxy in which Mendologas was located was quite distant and with the speed of the spacecraft it would take no less than four days of traveling to get there. This was a huge step up compared to back in the past when it would take many months for them to complete such a journey. This speed was made possible with the dimensional checkpoints placed in different parts of space that generated teleportation wormholes. They could beat time and travel way faster with these wormholes letting them appear millions of light years ahead of their position. This shortened the travel which made it possible for then to get there in four days. Even with these dimensional checkpoint constructed in different parts of space that made space travel faster, there were still journeys that would take weeks or months if they were way farther than Mendologas Planet. The group was lucky this travel would only be taking four days. This would mostly be a crazy experience for them. While on this journey they noticed that they wohld occasionally stop at different locations. These locations in space had massive spacecraft that looked like mansions floating in space. They would be scanned by the officers from these massive spacecraft before they were given permission to resume flight. According to the Generals in the spacecraft, this was usual protocol and was always needed to separate criminals from legal spacecraft. Space pirates were common in this age and since space was endless, catching these criminals was always difficult. However these space pirates knew not to every try to cross paths with the MBO or any other power intergalactic force in space so 99% of the times it was safe for MBO spacecraft. They rarely ever got attacked by any criminals in space. As the days went by Gustav still stuck to his schedule of making more research about the Warp Demolator while training also. "Alright guys, your mission will most likely take about two weeks to complete and I don't think the others will take too long to complete theirs either so we'll still be meeting back here after y'all are done," Gustav voiced out. Falco, Matilda, Teemee, Vera and Ria all nodded as they heard that. "Phew~ Our first five star mission," Matilda voiced with a nervous tone. "Don't worry you'll do good," Gustav said while tapping her shoulder. 'I'll be one step closer to being powerful enough to go after Dahria if I complete this,' She assured herself internally. Gustav saw them off to an aircraft that was waiting to cart them away to their mission location. After a few minutes they were gone. 'Just met up after months and they're gone again...' Gustav shook his head. Being a part of the MBO was truly no easy task. Gustav now understood why more than 80% of the MBO was without spouses. Even those who had spouses probably didn't have the chance to spend a lot of time with them. Missions were unending and there would always be one issue or the other. Jack and Mack were still unmarried even after living for over a century. Gustav was not even sure if they had ever dated anyone or had any romance with the opposite sex. He was sure he would have been the same way if Angy was not in the picture. MBO officers were truly lonely people in the aspect of romance but at the very least Gustav was trying to bring all the people he cared about together. If he managed to get each any everyone of them to be a part of his platoon, it would make things less lonely since they would always be with him on any mission. Gustav proceeded to head back to the MBO tower after the five had left. He won't be seeing anyone of them again till two weeks time and he was still a little disappointed he didn't even get to see Angy or E.E but he shrugged it off. 'Its just two weeks... nothing compared to months,' Gustav said internally. ("You really miss them, don't you?") The system questioned with a teasing tone. 'No I don't,' Gustav responded as he walked down the corridors of the MBO tower. ("Poor Gustav, he misses his lover... misses the kisses... misses the bedroom actions... hehehe," The system kept teasing. 'Shut up! I don't mi...' "Gustav," In the process of this bantering, a familiar voice called out to Gustav. "Gradier Xanatus," Gustav voiced out as he spotted the figure that had just called out to him. "Come see this," Gradier Xanatus said while leading him to an office within the tower.
