Jennifer slowly turned her head to Erika:
"Michael is currently fighting for our lives," Erika said.
"For our lives? Then what are we doing?" Jasmine asked, mildly confused.
"We aren't fighting for our lives, just protecting them and making sure we live longer," Erika clarified.
Her words confused not only Jasmine but everyone in the room.
"Look, we get our powers from VRG and AI, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"Michael is protecting this AI... I know sometimes you've all wondered what controls the AI and VRG... Let me tell you. In another world, far from our galaxy, live more powerful beings; they're the ones who created this artifact—"
"—Artifact?"
"Yes, Mr. Daniel... If this artifact is destroyed, we lose not only our powers but also our Lifetimes... And when we lose Lifetimes, what happens?"
She directed the question to everyone in the room.
"We all die."
