You had no idea what was going on. All you knew was that somehow, these weird pod things were supposed to be.. regenerating their parents somehow?

And this.. Omen thing had taken the parts they need to regenerate them from? This was so confusing- 

"Intruder Alert: Tarrons Detected", a robotic voice echoed throughout the room.

You frowned, and looked over at Krel.

"Isn't this your house- ship- thing?" 

"It sounds like Omen got to Mother, too.."

Wait what- that's their Mom?

"More reason to find Mama and Papa's cores and get out of this ship."

But then who are- Oh gods, I give up.

As Aja finished her sentence the voice came back over the speakers.

"Oh, you won't be getting out of here.", it said in a condescending tone.

Why is this house so freaky- What had you gotten yourself into-

The two ignored it, uncaring about how freaking scary an ominous disembodied voice is.

"Krel, you find a way to override Mother's systems so we can escape, and I'll get Mamma and Papa back from Omen."

There was no way Aja could defeat whatever this was by herself.

"I'll come with you."

She sighed and put a hand on your shoulder, looking you dead in the eye, a serious tone in her voice.

"No. You stay here, and keep my brother safe."

You paused for a moment.

"I will."

-

"Self destruct in five Mecrons."

You panicked internally while Krel fiddled with the large battery-looking thing.

"That's not a good thing, right? Self destruct is never a good thing-"

"No, I would think not.", he muttered quietly, focused intently on his work.

He pulled a weird-cellphone looking thing out of his pocket and put it to his ear.

You could sort of hear Aja yelling through it.

"We heard! Still working on disabling Mother! (Y/n), can you hold this?"

"Is it radioactive?"

"Only mildly, you'll be fine."

You were about to protest when another alert sounded around you.

"Four Mecrons until Mass Nuclearization."

So that might be a little more scary than self destruct.

Aja said something through the device and Krel rolled his eyes.

"No, I was just thinking of taking a nap."

He reached inside and tried to pull out a circuit.

"Oh, that would never work.", the voice chuckled.

He reached for another and the voice laughed.

"Ha! That just tickles."

He pulled one out and it shocked him, causing it to clatter to the ground.

"You deprogrammed the ice-maker.", it said condescendingly.

Krel made an irritated face. 

"Don't Mother me, Mother."
