"I'm here, sorry I'm late," Eri said as she hurried into the VIP box.
"You're here," Lorelie said with a smile as she turned to Eri before asking, "Did you finish your family matter?"
"Partially, though it's super annoying that I missed the start of the charity match for it. Did anything good happen?" Eri asked.
"And this is?" Aphrodite asked curiously.
"This is Eri, she will be chaperoning me while I'm touring here in the Felidae Galaxy," Lorelie replied.
"Oh righhtttt, I heard about that, didn't you request her instead of Prime or something?" Aphrodite asked with a smirk.
"Pretty much," Lorelie confirmed.
"Eri, you're late, you missed so much," Tephe said happily as she pulled her down next to her and began telling her everything that had happened.

[[Time Remaining: 00:57]]
"And we have less than a minute before the entrance to the sphere closes itself and any competitors remaining outside are eliminated," Honcho announced.
"It appears that Speed Stone will indeed be the next to arrive, as we thought, because it is entering the clear area of space that is the centre of the asteroid field," Dulaebella suddenly said as everyone's feed switched to show Speed Stone appearing from around an asteroid at the edge of the clear area.
"Unsurprisingly, Speed Stone has managed to create a decent gap between itself and Spector Unit Six; however, judging by its position, it shouldn't have a problem entering the sphere.
The question is going to be if Excess Surplus will make it in time, as I'm thinking that's going to be rather close.
As for you, Angels Fury, and Matriarchs' Right fans out there, I'm afraid that they are as good as eliminated at this point," Honcho remarked as a map appeared on the holographic screens of everyone watching, showing them the locations of each mech that was still competing.
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): While I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see any more action in the last few minutes, I'm happy that my man got to the next stage. Hopefully that will be more action-packed.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Your man?
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Yeah, got a problem with that?]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): It's not the first time you have put that, and it's not the first time we have told you that 'your man' might never return to Earth.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): And? I'm happy to wait for him. The men here on Earth are way too insecure about successful women, and they suck in bed too.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): While I agree with Gunlovergirl on the first part about men being too insecure around successful women, I won't comment on the second part.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Ha, see, Miss Hopkins doesn't have a problem finding a man to satisfy her, maybe you just need to find a better class of man to satisfy you.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): …]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Well dear, that's why I wanna be the streamer's woman, if he can satisfy two women at the same time while one of them is also a celebrity, then he's definitely skilled in bed. Also, don't even try to worm your way into my pants, I can see what you're trying to do and it wont work.
Also, Miss Hopkins refused to comment because she's a successful woman and needs to be wary of her image, you idiot.]]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Gunlovergirl is right, Miss Hopkins needs to watch what she says because I'm sure many of her business partners are men.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): … Fuck you, I wasn't trying to worm my way into your pants, I don't touch crazy.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Crazy? Who the fuck are you calling crazy?
[Justiceistruth (Earth): I'm calling you crazy, ya crazy gun happy bitch.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Hahaha, you Earthlings are always entertaining.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Agreed, Romy and I are very much enjoying the banter.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): 😱]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): This isn't how all Earthlings act.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Are you sure? I mean, I have seen how 1000yearsofdeath is always trying to cause trouble.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Riiiggghhhtttt.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): It's my lot in life, 😮💨. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Kekeke.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): You know that nobody believes a word of that, right? Especially when you put Kekeke at the end.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Pure slander, I will have you know I always put Kekeke at the end. Kekeke.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Except when someone takes the piss out of you. Kekeke.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Back up a sec, did you just say Romy is watching the stream with you? Romy as in Andromeda? As in Oracle Andromeda?]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): Wait what?]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Oh my. 😱]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Seriously? The Nonpareilus Oracle?]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): You're shitting me?]
[HackerSu (Trillion): 😱]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): For real?]
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): He can't be serious, right, babe?]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): What an honour.]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): They all seem kinda shocked that some oracle lady is watching the stream.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): You idiot, have you forgotten that she has been mentioned in the past? The oracle is the one who predicts the future.]
[Sparesomechangebro (Earth): Wait, really? Hey, miss all mighty oracle lady ma'am, can you perhaps predict the lottery numbers for me this week? I need some change.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Bro, seriously? 🤦]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): I don't think she's that kind of oracle.]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (Challenger): Bet she's proper tasty though.]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): I'm not sure speaking about someone who can divine the future and maybe even affect it is a wise course of action.]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (Challenger): Oh shit, you're right, sorry Oracle lady ma'am.]
💫💫💫
"HAHAHAHAHA," Raphilia roared with laughter as she read the comments that Andromeda was getting from the people of Earth.
"You… you have…. Have a new…. New name….. Oracle lady ma'am," Raphilia said through gasping breaths as she fought back her laughter.
"Oh shut up," Andromeda replied before she continued to read the comments with a smirk.
💫💫💫
"Oh wow, Oracle Andromeda is in the chat," Tephe suddenly said, attracting the attention of all the women.
"Which chat? Adam's chat?" Stacey asked as she looked at the chat on her uniband before asking, "Where? I don't see her."
"It seems she's watching it with Raphilia," Rowena replied with mild surprise as Eri and Mika listened in with shock.
"Becky, send a message on my behalf," Tessa suddenly said.
💫💫💫
[Beczontop (Felinia 7): Greetings, Oracle Andromeda, I am writing this message on behalf of Princess Tessa Terrana, who would like to thank you for the support you recently showed both the Terran Empire and Imperial Family.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Oh shit, now a princess is writing in the chat.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Excuse me? I'm an Empress.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): She has a point, dude, why are you so surprised that a princess is writing in the chat when the next stage up is here?]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): My thoughts exactly.]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): I guess because Phoenixempress is always here and she's part of the chat now, while a princess in the chat is something new.]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (Challenger): He has a point, we haven't had a hot virgin princess in the chat yet.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): What the fuck does being hot and a virgin have to do with it?]
[Animefangirl (Earth): Everyone knows the MC has to score the virgin princess and pop her cherry, that's so Anime.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): @Animefangirl Are you really a girl?]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): I was wondering that.]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): You don't think Animefangirl is one of those catfish, do you?]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Hmmm, could be.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): What's a catfish?]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): An actual catfish is a type of aquatic fish or sea creature. However, in this case, it's a term used to describe a man who is pretending to be a woman online.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Wait, that's actually a thing?]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Yeah. I'm more surprised that you don't have something like that if your net covers the entire universe.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): That's because a person's uniband will automatically detect their gender and post it on their account on the Universal Subspace Network. And while the account holder can change their default displayed gender, there is always the option for someone to check the genetic gender.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Can we go back to the part where Oracle Andromeda is watching the stream and maybe ask why?]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Why shouldn't she be?]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Well, I personally don't have any issue with the fact, but I'm assuming she doesn't have access to the stream herself, so I'm kind of surprised that you're allowed to keep watching if she's with you.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Oh, I see your point.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): The way the streamers stream decides who can watch has always been a mystery.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): What do you mean streamers stream? Doesn't the streamer control who can watch?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Well, yes, but he has asked his AI in the past on stream about this topic, and the AI has always refused to answer. So either the streamer is faking it or it's actually the AI that decides who can and can't watch.]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): I'm thinking it's the AI and has something to do with how the ship wasn't originally his since he found it.]
