Sitting cross-legged on the sofa in her living room, Daphne is watching the cyber-transparent screen showing the news about Stairmount at the airport, just as he was about to leave for Saturn.

"Wow... Mr. Rivers looks so gallant and handsome!" Coming out of the kitchen, Mrs. Yalle immediately sits on the sofa and watches the news. "He is still young, but he can act so calmly when getting reported by the famous media and doing contacts with influential people. No wonder Jupiter Departemen of Health can trust him!"

The truth is, they're all the lucky ones by getting a mouse that can be manipulated and steered easily, Daphne says gloomily to herself as she stares at the cyber screen. But, indeed, he does look so gallant and dignified. Curving a smile, Daphne replies, "That's right. I am so proud, such that great man is evidently my future husband."

Mrs. Yalle appears surprised. She quickly leans closer to Daphne, making sure she doesn't hear wrong. "What did you say? Say it again."

"Stairmount is my future husband," Daphne raises her voice. "After he completes his mission, we will get married." Now that they will get married, of course, Daphne can't call Stairmount 'Sir' or 'Mr. Rivers' anymore, but immediately call his name so as to become more intimate with him.

"Wow! Amazing, so amazing! I'm so glad to hear that! Thank God... what I've been hoping for all this time has finally come true!... I am really happy!" Mrs. Yalle keeps talking joyfully. She begins to question Daphne about the process so that her daughter can get such a result. "How was it going? He finally proposed to you? How did that happen? Tell your Mom as detailed as possible!"

Daphne smiles happily. With her face blushing, she begins to tell everything that happened last night.

"So he asked, am I ready to wait for him while we will be separated by the vast and deep ocean, and should endure the time full of uncertainty? I said, I am willing to wait for him, until he completes his mission, and after that, we will get married," Daphne finishes her story.

Mrs. Yalle nid-nods, "Ah, it turns out that he's not an irresponsible man. He asked a lot of things as if he was trying to make you doubtful of him, in fact, he was testing you, whether you're an easy woman who only desires his wealth or power but has no sincere love for him... but that's good. It proves that he doesn't think of 'married' so casually married, he is not the one who can divorce as he likes if his love for his wife fades. He wants to be with his wife for eternity. It's impossible for you to wait for him for an uncertain time. Even though it looks bombastic, this cooperation occasion will not last long. He'll return two weeks later - as the longest duration time, trust Mom. That means, two weeks later, you'll get married!"

No Mom... he's not testing me, he's telling the truth. You said that, because you don't know what is actually going on here.

Daphne's eyes catch the screen of her ultra-cyber minipad turning on and now displaying a new message. She soon reads it, and gets stunned.

"What's that?" Mrs. Yalle immediately notices the peculiarity on her daughter's face.

Damien... I thought he's forgotten!... "Ugh... it turns out that my ultra-cyber minipad's signal is weak... I thought my ultra-cyber minipad has been broken..."

Another message appears again on Daphne's ultra-cyber minipad screen. It is written "Heaven and Earth in the Boundless Universe". Daphne presses it, which opens immediately. It is evidently the community where Damien and the other ethnic Neptunians join. Lots of participants join that group, which makes the group so crowded. Her classmates, internship colleagues, former high school teachers, and university lecturers... she automatically asks whether this is really the Neptunian-Plutonian based in Jupiter, she doesn't believe that the ethnic Neptunians can be so much here?

A new message appears. Daphne soon reads that message, which was sent by Damien, the contents of which are as follows;

"Come to Block B at 6 PM this evening. We are going to have a meeting there."
