"G-Grandchildren?! Me?" Jaz chuckled nervously before sweating. "I think you're jumping the gun, Veggie. Your legacy will be fine for a while. Let's wait until this war is over, then we can start thinking about kids. Besides, you might wanna talk to Junior and my dad about that..."
Jaz's head turned to listen to the intercom and her cheeks immediately turned red. She grabbed her beanie and pulled it over her eyes, trying to hide her face.
"Oh my, this is embarrassing..." Jaz grumbled to herself. "Let's head to Koth, he seems excited about landing."
"Good to know you got an open mind."
Kire smiled widely for once, shaking Junior's hand. Everything changed when Koth's comment echoed within the ship. Without warning, Kire's grip tightens and he pulled Junior close.
"I know I said you can hang out with Jaz, but if you even think about trying to get a certain...way with my daughter, I will chop your dick off. No questions. Not even your father will save you from my wrath..." Kire released Junior and pushed him towards the door. "But you're a smart kid, I wouldn't want to hurt my future son-in-law. Now go, find Jaz and be happy with her, in the meanwhile, I should catch up on a few things..."
Without waiting for a reply, Kire took Mioi's sniper and placed it over his shoulder, leaving the room to go to his lab to get Solaris's armor. Since everyone was going to meet in one place, he thought it would be nice to get two birds with one stone. He mounted Solaris's armor over his other shoulder and turned to the KABS cores when Helga chimed in.
"While you were away, I fixed Lady Jaz's core as well as upgraded them with the harder metal alloys, similar to that of Solaris's armor. I studied the energy nodes and applied a similar version within the code. KABS will now be able to store more energy and consume less during a battle, making it more efficient in battle. I also added an emergency energy backlash. Should Vaylin attempt to steal energy again, she will be rewarded with a surge of electricity to overwhelm her. Perhaps she will think twice before stealing energy from Lady Jaz and Madam Mioi."
"Nice work, Helga! I should put KABS back on the girls, give Mioi her new toy, and return Sogalris his armor." Kire placed the Cores within his pockets. "With most of my projects done... I should have time to focus on the bigger mission at hand."
Kire chuckled before rushing out the door, balancing the rifle and armor in his arms, and heading to the cockpit in a hurry. For once, all worry disappeared from his face as he began to slowly trust the people around him and open up. His smile looked genuine.
