The group explained everything that happened to the other members. The leader looked at the anomaly behind them with a mean gaze while everyone else understood the situation they were in. After hearing the explanation, Emely explained why the anomaly couldn't use the watch.

"It's kinda complicated since I never had a case like that before. The closest I have is that Ada doesn't exist in the universe so the watches can't make her travel anywhere. It must be the same reason that makes it so the leader's book doesn't affect her."

"So I won't be able to see my Neige..." Said the nun with disappointment.

"Kind of, there may be a way. We could time travel to stop the anomaly from existing at all. If we save Neige, everything will be fine. Ada can't do it but we could research the time travel technology to prevent that from happening at all."

"Time travel?" Asked the leader "I don't like the idea, it's dangerous... But maybe I know someone who could help us. I met one of my other selves on internet, I told her everything about our missions and-"

"What!?" Yelled Emely "I traveled to another world to make sure Sepide and Remiel don't mess up and you're the one messing up?"

"But it's my other self, she'd understand. She also told me about everything she kept secret too."

"So the leader really can't keep secrets..." Ina said a bit disappointed.

"B-But they can help us! They're from a group called the Atlas, they time travel in their world to prevent anomalies from happening. Their technology only works in their world but it could help us."

"That's great! With Ada and their technology, I'm sure it's possible, we could prevent the anomaly from even existing."

"I hope it's possible." Said Ada with hope in her eyes "As long as we can save Neige, I don't mind not existing anymore, I shouldn't in the first place anyway. So, should I stay here for the time being?"

"Stay here?" Asked the leader, offended "You're the reason we exist, we're not letting you in like that."

"You can stay," Gwyn said nonchalantly "I have a room for you, no one is using it."

"I'm still the leader you know? You could at least listen to me."

"Leader, Emely will need Ada for her research on time travel and it could provide us valuable information. Besides, I think you more than anyone would dream of seeing the anomaly out of this universe."

"... Fine. But if she stays here, then she has to work too. You're now a member of the Kronos 'Ada', if we need help for a mission we'll send you and you better obey."

"Yes, mam!" Ada said, intimidated by her new leader.

"Good, I'll warn you when I get news from my other self."

Polyetta left for her room, leaving everyone in the main hall. When Gwyn noticed Ada looking around completely lost, she decided to take care of her.

"I'll show you around, you'll know where everything is at least."

"Y-Yes!"

Gwyn and Ada were about to leave but were quickly interrupted by Emely.

"Hey, can you take Remiel with you? She hasn't seen around the ship yet."

"She hasn't? Why don't you do your job and show her around?"

"Can't hear, busy!"

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Emely left in a hurry, exhausting Gwyn. The doctor waved at Remiel, gesturing her to come.

Gwyn showed around to the two new members of the ship. While Remiel already knew some of the places, Ada was surprised by the size of the ship. She came here a few times but never took the time to visit the place. Looking at this futuristic scenery impressed her but she was still impatient about the idea of saving her Neige as soon as possible. She suddenly stopped in front of a window, looking at the vastness of space. Seeing that the nun stopped following her, Gwyn went next to her to see what was wrong.

"You never saw space before?"

"Not really... It feels weird to see stars so close now... I used to look at them with Neige before." Ada placed her hand on her chest, a sad expression on her face "Should I really be here? This isn't a place I should be."

"It's no one's place, the emptiness of space is less than ideal for a human's mental health. And no one comes from here, this place was artificially created to be safe. Everyone here comes from a world that is no more, I'd say you're more than qualified to be here."

"That's not what your leader seemed to imply."

"The leader hates you for causing trouble to Neige, she doesn't care much about the rest. I'm sure she only made you a temporary member so she could keep an eye on you."

Ada still was unsure about her legitimacy here, she could always talk to the leader later if she wanted to leave. Her focus suddenly shifted when she saw a small orange creature walking in the hallway, she pointed at it with her eyes wide open.

"What is that!? It's so cute!"

Remiel looked at the small creature, as clueless as Ada was.

"It looks like it could be dangerous, we should warn the leader."

"It's nothing bad." Explained the doctor "It's a cat, his name is Cinnamon. The leader created him long ago."

"Created him?" Asked Remiel "Like Sepide? So they are related?"

"Yeah, I guess it makes them siblings."

"This is Sepide's brother!?" Ada asked in shock "Wait, who's Sepide again?"

"I'm not explaining, you'll ask someone more patient."

"Too bad, can I pet Sepide's brother?"

"Don't call him that, his name is Cinnamon. And I doubt you can, he doesn't let anyone get close."

Despite Gwyn's warning, Ada ran toward the cat. Cinnamon immediately ran away at the sight of the woman, disappointing the latter.

"Why did he run away? I didn't do anything yet."

"My data about cats indicate that they are very cautious and do not give their trust easily. Earning a cat's trust is a long process that can take a lot of patience."

"You're smart... Remiel? Is that your name?"

"Indeed, it is."

"Your name is like that other robot I met, Uriel I think."

"My code is based on Uriel's. Emely managed to create me thanks to her."

"We can talk about that another time." Gwyn interrupted the two and looked at the map of the ship on her phone "I think you've seen the most important things here, you can always explore in your free time if you want."

"I have a question. The leader explained that the moon was the way we traveled, however, I have seen no moon in this world."

"You should ask that to Emely, she knows better. You already know the way to her lab so have fun, I need to work now."

Gwyn left the two new members alone to go back to her office. Ada crossed her arms, trying her best to remember.

"That's so many names... Emely is..."

"Emely is my creator and is the engineer of the ship."

"Is she black-pantie girl's lover?"

"I do not have any information on this black-pantie girl, but I believe you will recognize her once you see her."

"Alright, I follow your lead!"

The two women headed toward Emely's lab, hoping to get answers to their questions.

Ada entered the lab before Remiel could tell her to knock on the door. Emely and Silva were both inside the lab, sitting on the desk. When she saw them enter, the engineer stood up with annoyance on her face.

"I know you're new here but you need to learn how to knock on doors."

"Really? I'll try to remember next time."

"I apologize Emely." Remiel said with guilt in her voice "I did not warn her beforehand."

"It's alright, so why are you here? Is there a problem?"

"None at all, I was actually wondering where the moon is in this world, I have seen the sun but not the moon."

"Oh, that." Emely searched in one of the drawers for something. She took a small shiny ball out of it and threw it at Remiel "That's the moon."

"You have the moon in your drawer?" Asked Silva "I thought we traveled in the moon to go to other worlds? It's way too small."

"It's not exactly the moon, it's like if the core of the moon was a world. This small ball is the world inside a moon."

"And what if it were to break?" Asked Remiel.

"Then we can't leave this world. I already tried breaking it but it's really solid."

"You did?" Silva stood up from the desk, suddenly terrified "Were you trying to keep us all stuck here?"

"The leader gave it to me to understand it better, you would have intrusive thoughts too if you held it in your hand."

Remiel gave back the orb to Emely, who put it back in the drawer. Ada couldn't help but be impressed by how advanced everything was. She could travel through space and time but they managed to harness it thanks to technology. She wasn't sure how to feel about staying here but she started to think it could be beneficial for her to learn more about the universe here.
