Queen Astra is now canon, look in comments.

A couple weeks after the end of the inkperial era, Astra had gotten permission from the collector to explore the remains of the first inkperial superweapon. Collector was still trying to make his adoption of hakai official, he couldn't come supervise. However he was confident in Astra's ability to defend herself.

So, she packed a few supplies, and opened a portal to the first superweapon.

(I'm tempted to just start calling it "the deathticle" in reference to an old star wars parody. It may be just as hard to type but at least it's funny.)

As soon as she went to the entrance she found the remains of the exotic creator, his severed head was still lying on the ground a few feet away from it. She was surprised to see his remains were nearly untouched other than it's major battle damage, likely because the weapon was drifting far away from any major planets, making it no longer a place of interest.

She made sure to remember to take his head on the way out, collector would likely want to extract some data from it.

She continued into the superweapon, the interior wasn't as untouched as EC. Wires hung from the ceilings, entire sections of wall were missing, and the place was entirely raided for weapons. She walked around for hours, thinking this would be a disappointing journey, until she found one room that was seemingly forgotten by scavengers

The door was labeled "creator's workshop". Seemingly referring to the exotic creator. The door was sealed shut, evidence could be seen of several attempts to pry it open.

But, Astra is built different. She used her nanotech to go between the door and the wall, then open it from the inside.

She found many MANY tools and parts. Some of which she couldn't even tell what they were used for, but the main thing that caught her eye was a gold crown placed in a storage closet, along with several files seemingly about EC's process of revival, and several blueprints for the "tripods" he used early in the war.

She crammed the files into her backpack, and put the crown on just for fun, but something unexpected happened as soon as she did so.

The room was covered in blue and green light, and suddenly Astra was somehow Taller (she was 5'5 but now 6'6), Her armor was changed, she had different wings, and her hair was far longer. She was startled by the sudden transformation, and stumbled into a wall.

Little Timmy (Astra's egg-bot in case you forgot like I did) was standing on Astra's backpack when it happened, and was just as surprised as Astra.

Astra fell silent for a moment while supporting herself on the wall, but eventually realized it must have been the crown that caused the transformation, she took it off, and was just as quickly brought back to her original height.

Astra: I'm definitely keeping this!

LT shook violently as Astra put the crown in the backpack, as he was worried for her safety. But eventually stopped after realizing there was no stopping her from taking it.

Astra searched for a few more hours but eventually found that there was nothing else to take. So she returned to EC's remains, picked up his severed head, and opened a portal to go home. She put the files and the head on collector's desk, along with a note saying

"Here's some stuff I found in the superweapon" -Astra

Astra saw that collector was still gone with hakai, so she decided to look through collector's library to see if there was anything mentioning a crown with a green gem, but couldn't find anything before collector returned.

Hakai was now officially Astra's step-sister

(Astra would walk by an underpass and eventually see Mr T in a trench coat, drinking whiskey)

Astra: something tells me your company didn't do so well after the incident with the inkpire.

Mr T: it’s not that… my companies fine… it’s me, I’ve failed you… (he would continue to drink)

Astra: ',:\ what do you mean?

Mr T: everything… I shouldn’t have risked my company for money, I doubt that your little “guardian” will still let me teach you… y know, I really felt like I was impacting somebody by doing that, but now EVERYTHINGS DOWN THE DRAIN, I gambled too much… (he would throw the bottle in frustration)

Astra: well, can't really change the fact that you did that. But maybe try apologizing to the people you hurt in the process. Especially hakai, we all had hope you were gonna help her fight sagi but then you beat her into the ground. So that's probably a good place to start.

Maybe then collector might have the slightest amount of faith in you.

Mr T: (he would get up) trust me, if the collector even saw a glimpse of me, my head would be hanging above his fireplace, ahh kid… I’ll think about it, sorry for being such a let-down to ya…

Astra: *pats Mr. T's shoulder*

There probably isn't much you could teach me anyway. Sure you have that new power but it looks like something rare I wouldn't be able to use.

Mr T: yeah… I don’t even think I can give it to you… anyways, its been nice teachin ya.. (he opens his arm for a hug, but his face looks unsure)

Astra: *hugs him anyway*

Although I forgive you...

*She hugs harder and trollface can't breath*

You did kick my sister's ass after she was already about to collapse. So you kinda deserve this.

*She lets go*

It was nice seeing you again!

(Mr T would fall to the ground, sorta chuckling)
Mr T: yeah.. (he coughs) I do… by the way, (he would hand her a card) if your ever in need of a job, I can offer you an internship to our youth study program, you won’t have to get into the gritty stuff, but it pays well…

Astra: ... I'll keep it in mind.
*She puts it in her pocket, then holds out a hand to help trollface up*

Mr T: (he gets up) thanks kid… thanks for everything…

*astra waves before walking away*

(Goober would come from behind and try to tackle Mr T)

(Mr T would pick him up by the head)
Mr T: what’s your problem…

(Goober would flail around) Goober: You worked with the inkperials!!!

Mr T: yeah… I know kid,

Goober: you'll pay!!!

(it's getting a little late where I am so if I don't respond I probably went to bed)
