Samm looked at Jovin...certainly, a change of pace might...help her emotional stability..but she still sighed. This place had many connections to her memory and heart. She gently touches his hand with her own.
But she looked at everyone else with a faint smile, seeing their interest. "Probably" she answered jovin finally. "But I dont know where we're going...just...away. I trust Mike though...he will most likely help us find a new home..he's a good like that"
and Soon, the family finds their way to the island. Samm waves slightly as she approaches the old man. "You're awake at least" she said, quietly teasing him about his age and tendency to sleep lots. But despite being so much younger than him, the problems that came with her age here lingered as some quiet sadness in the back of her presence. "It's been a long time, friend."
Brennan was less quiet and polite, "Mister Mike! Wow...you got old since I last saw you! I thought you guys weren't supposed to age.."
"Brennan..." samm midly hissed, warning him as a mom would.

"...Damn, ya got old" Jovin states, Jo huffing as the kids look at the old man with curiosity. "Jovin's got a point. What gives?" "Maybe he's like old man time-" "-and finally decided to look the part?" MThe twins state, Thomas staying silent.
"...So....how been?" Jovin asks, hand on Samm's Shoulder.

Epsilon, or Auga, smiles to the old friends that arrived.
"Welcome back. The age is merely a part of a now defunct cycle that left when the fell beast finally perished all those years ago..."
He gently pats the pod near him.
"I've got one last delivery to make. I'd like you all to join me as we finish the last remaining trip Augataur needs to make. We will be arriving in the year 3895, Earth. An excavation is about to take place where we are standing so I'd like to get a more, birds eye view of the situation when we arrive to not disturb the excavation."

Samm isnt allthat pleased with everyone remarking on his age, especially the kids. But its discarded when he laughs it off. There were other things to talk about and do, it seems. She quietly considers his words. "so...the far future of where we were..." she says thoughtfully. "I will follow you of course...its not like I actually...have anything else to do anymore"
Brennan looks over at his mom, slightly concerned but wants to keep the topic going and away from things that might trigger his mom's depressive state. "well...what are we delivering?"

"Alright, but... first things first, Like Brennan said, what we be delving, and why is it important that we deliver it?" Jovin asks frowning, squeezing Samm's shoulder again.
"...Also, guessing you were the reason for the time fuc-Buggery and why pesterchum turned off?" Jo asks, eyes narrowed, Jovin sparking a bit at that.
"And It sounds pretty simple-" "So why do you need help?" The twins ask, Thomas sighing. "...Guessing you are expecting trouble?"

Samm is soothed some by Jovin, and moves closer to him, nuzzling him some. But she blinks at her two husbands mentioning...time. "Time shenanigans? what time shenanigans?" she asked quietly, not having noticed it herself.

Auga shakes his head.
"It's not that I need help delivering it. I simply wanted to extend my invitation to join me in the world of the far future. You see, I actually own a company there. An acquaintance you may know of also works there. As for the delivery... well. Lets say its an old friend that needs to wake up soon. He's got some people waiting for him, hmm?~"
Auga gives a hearty laugh.
"I might work my job there for a few good more years before retiring. The future of earth is a good place. Space travel and scientific research of alien life! My company travels the stars and documents the finds on a large vessel that acts as a laboratory and home."
Auga pats the kids on the heads, grown as they may be.
"What do you say? Care for one last adventure?"

"Well, I assume it was time fuckery..." Jo mutters. "After all, he's old as hell now. That and it's bloody weird that we heard nothing for two thousand bloody years, only to hear things now... I mean, that or everyone is bloody terrible at keeping in touch. I mean... if that makes sense?" He frowns. "...great, not sure now."
Jovin just nuzzles back, causing all three kids to roll their eyes. "...If you say so." He states simply, not 100% sure if he can trust what they says.
"Excuse me but-" "-We are ladies now, no longer kids-" "-Unless you count Thomas, then you are correct." Thomas just huffs at the twins. "...Soundslikean interesting company,to say the least"

Brennan, however, allowed himself to be patted. Unlike the other kids he was told a few things about mike...and knew he was much...much older.
"It sounds interesting...I get to see technology like you guys had on your earth...or higher?"
"Higher..." Samm chipped in a little, hugging onto Jovin some. "which actually makes me worried." she said looking to Mike. "I love nature...a lot...and think its important...but humans they...you know...tend to kill nature."
"Humans kill nature?" Brennan asked, surprised.

Auga chuckles. "Then prepare to be surprised. In the year we're going to, humans have completely colonized out in space and Earth became a nature habitat protected by the most powerful defenses they could come up with."
He smiles with a knowing smile.
"Earth is beautiful again... no pollution, only nature. Of course there are many more planets out there we have documented as well. You'll never be of want. And if you are, allow me to take care of it. Our beloved home is ours to live and protect."

"...Huh, thats good to say the least." Jovin admits, still wary, even as he hugs Samm back. "And resoruces have to come from somewhere- nature tends to get wrecked in the process... altough there are or were ways to deal with that."
"Kinda surprised they went through the trouble. Most humans back... home, for lack of a better word, wouldn't have made the effort to do so... then again, others would have." Jo states, squeezing his daughter's shoulders, Them and Thomas looking very interested at that promise.
"That sounds good-" "Almost too good to be fucking true." The sis who didn't curse shoots a look at the one that did.

Samm is quiet for a while, letting others talk as she thinks.She is tempted by the thought of a well taken care of earth, though she natural tendency is to have doubts...but it was mike so...nnng..
But she nods, also suspecting who the person is. She looks at her family. "the truth is...even if we don't go, we'll probably arrive there having already been there...but it'd be...infinitely more boring." She sighs and looks at Mike, seemingly unsure, "...right?"

"It was simply my intention to extend an invitation to you all. I will be leaving this time frame and won't return. You may stay and live through the human history of the world or leave it behind if you so choose. Life is still full of infinite possibilities, even for Demi gods such as us. There is so much to learn about outside of the earth we've come to know and love. So much life out there in the infinite undiscovered!"
The jolly old man looks more lively than he has in years.
"What I mean to ask child... do you trust me?"
Auga extends his hand out to Samm.

"...I'll trust Samm." Jovin states after a moment, Jo nodding in agreement.
"...Where will you be going then?" Thomas asks curiously "Once your... task is complete?"

"I'll be taking back my office in the company after this is delivered. From there I'll be back as Director of the company as I said before."
He nods slowly.
"There is a geo-home aboard the ship, allowing all our workers a residence for themselves while we travel."
