Yurug stands alone looking over the Clone world. The polluted blackened air swirling and blanketing the planet slowly fades to reveal hundreds of newly constructed ships rising through the blackened skies.

"Hard to believe we made 1,000 ships within six months." Korra says 

"indeed but do you expect anything less from a planet that only exists for emergencies?" Silas says

"You shouldn't feel to proud about these merger ships. Constructing ships are difficult even with the clone world helping. These ships have light armor, light and medium weapons, this is just for appearances. They are a far cry from horde primes." Yurug says

"Something tells me that the condition these ships are not the only reason for your sour expression." Korra says

"This Clone World needs constant maintenance this is the exact reason why Horde Prime never used it and instead made improved versions else where. " Yurug says

"Maintenance? What kind exactly?" Silas says

"This world produces toxic waste every time a clone or ship is made. This waste is extremely toxic, a single drop on any type of organic matter causes the object to deteriorate in a matter of minutes. If that wasn't enough the waste creates a mist that Poison the air choking everything around it. " Yurug says 

"Okay we need a place to toss it right?" Korra says

"Yes but that's not the problem. For these past few moths we've been based here in relative safety but i doubt we haven't caught the attention of other powers. The moment we leave we could be attacked." Yurug says turning around activating a holo-projection of the fleet.

"We do not need to travel far do we?" Silas asks

"Unfortunately we do, this clone world was intentionally built away from any planets. The nearest uninhabitable planet is a dozen systems away." Yurug says

"Okay we take the whole fleet and dump this waste, this world has defenses right?" Korra says

"Yes this world will be fine but we will be at risk." Yurug says

"I think-" Silas begins saying but is interrupted by Korra

"Boss I know you been on this peace trip lately but get it together! If you let this yearning for peace stop you from attacking then your putting us at risk. " Korra says 

"Argh your right. Gather the fleet and begin extraction of the waste. We leave as soon as its done." Yurug says

"Do you really think we shouldn't be updating Catra?" Spinerella says overlooking a planet.

"Catra said if they join willingly then we don't have to fight them." Netossa says

"True and Perfuma did do the same with her planet but doesn't explain why we are reporting back to Catra." Spinerella says worried.

"The people said they'd join us if we helped build their community. Do you honestly think Catra would be patience enough to let us do this?" Netossa says

"I do!" Scorpia says walking up from behind them.

"Okay not the point,  listen I like Catra as much as anyone. she wouldn't admit it but I know she's scared. With Adora gone she feels insecure, The safety Adora brought with her was stripped away. We all felt it but Catra is our leader now and she can say it's for peace and maybe she doesn't even realize it but all this conquering is her trying to get back that sense of security. My point is that if we contact her she will tell us just conquer them. We gave her fake reports about a civil war but that won't last long. She already sent Scorpia here because she thought we needed fire power. We just have focus and finish this up quickly." Netossa says

"I agree love that Catra is scared but I am too, we were all scared when Adoda left but Catra tried her best to make us feel safe and that's what she's trying to do now. Catra...she is alone, It doesn't matter how many times we say she can rely on us because at the end of the day she is the one that has to decide what to do. I'm not saying your completely wrong but we should at least trust that Catra would listen to what we have to say." Spinerella says placing her hand on Netossa's.

Before Netossa can reply Scorpia interjects

"I know I'm not the smartest like Entrapta or as understanding about a person like Perfuma or quick like you Netossa, but I am strong and I know I have other uses than just being just the muscle. But I know that if I let Catra order me i know I'll be helping my friends. I have to trust that she knows what she is doing.

Perfuma once said that Catra isn't a perfect leader she can be twisted by overwhelming emotions and pains from the past but she will always have our backs. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm against deceiving Catra I have faith that if we explain things clearly she will make the right decision.

"Jeez if you both put it like that your going to make me feel like the bad guy. Look I understand and I'll tell her the truth and apologize. I trust her." Netossa scratching head.

"Well it's a good thing that the King agree's to kneel but on wants to talk to you all in person " scorpia says off handily

"Huh? Why didn't you say so earlier!?" Netossa says

"We just started talking so seriously I forgot sorry." Scorpia rubbing her head.

"I guess we should get going then, we'll go on ahead while you turn Catra's A.I back online." Spinerella says kissing Netossa on the cheek.

"Huh? Wait why do I have to? You know Alpha doesn't like me!" Netossa says watching the two walk away.

"You can work on your apology to both of them as you go!" Spinerella says chuckling

"Great." Netossa says dragging her feet to the command room.

Netossa reaches the command room reactivates Alpha.

"Good morning. " Netossa says flatly

"I have I never met someone more idiotic! More irrational as you! I was made to assist you and what is the first thing you do? You turn me off!" Alpha shouts

"Yeah sorry about that." Netossa says half heartedly

"Sorry!? What would you have done if all had been captured? The bots have to activated by me! Just wait until Ca- incoming ships entering our system! Turning shields to max! Brace for impact!" Alpha shouts

Netossa looks out to see hundreds of ships suddenly appear in front of her.

"That isn't good." Netossa says as a ship appears in front of her ship.

The two ships collide.
