The days that followed were the quietest Ryan had known since arriving in the god Verse. Sector Gamma was running like a well-oiled machine. Scarlett's defense force was mapping dangerous territories.
Emma and Zara were happily tinkering in their lab, occasionally causing small, controlled explosions that everyone agreed were for the good of science.
Chris was teaching a new batch of rookies how to properly brace themselves behind a shield. The sector was safe. It was stable. It was… a little boring.
And for Ryan, boring was the perfect opportunity.
With his sector peaceful and his friends handling the day-to-day business, he finally had time to focus on the biggest mystery of all: the giant, silent machine he had won in the heart of the Labyrinth. The god Weaver.
