Colourful tree leaves announcing the arrival of Autumn. Birds start their migration, bears start to look for a cozy warm place to survive the harsh winter.
Flowers start to hide, curling up to hold the last breath of life before their long sleep.

Down at Umeki (plum tree) Okami, many of the cherry trees that bloomed to show off their delicate blossoms, slowly started to loose its happiness, and the sadness slowly crept out of them.

The Lucent Berg, a sister of the fleet that brought up to life The Firefly was an almost completed project, but some detailed changes needed to be done interrupted the completion of this project. Cree heard about it, and decided to carry the project to its final completion. The wealthy associates of his enterprise were astonished when the inconclusive project was to finally be completed by Cree.

So there was Cree, inside the hangar where The Lucerna was anchored. Dusty and discoloured, disconnected from the living outside.
51Please respect copyright.PENANA45ELqJZGLF
-come on Lucy, the final adjustments are soon to be completed
Said Cree, kneeling down to reach the engine at the back of the stairwell going up to the main cabin, one more turn on this bolt and you will be better than ever hun!
One of the pliers fell off his hand. Cree tried to reach it, but was a bit far. He forgot that another person was besides him noticing he was trying to reach the pliers.

51Please respect copyright.PENANAmeiNXR0HVh
-oh you buster, your playing with me again! Stop playing hide and seek with me, you sob.....
51Please respect copyright.PENANAj04DzPetTw
That familiar voice sounded like Benjamin. Cree happiness invaded him.
Cree started to laugh
51Please respect copyright.PENANA4cuEifqoja
But it wasn't Benjamin....
Cree stared at him. He looked at exactly like Benjamin. He whispered Ben!
51Please respect copyright.PENANABsrJe3ScWx
-i beg your pardon?
Benjamin asking....
51Please respect copyright.PENANAXfjPCMUG0l
-for Christ sake! Ben!
He stood up and looked at this young guy, pretty much look a like the Benjamin he met time ago.

-oh come on, do you remember me?
Insisted Cree

51Please respect copyright.PENANANJCmoI9CxF
-you must've mistaken me with someone else, replied Benjamin, looking surprised and a bit uncomfortable
51Please respect copyright.PENANArwNvbbzLid
Cree stared at him, thinking he was playing him.

All of the sudden, wind picked up, making the top flags flipping as the wind seemed to have slapped the flags like gently slapping then with grace. The wind also disturbed the fallen leaves fallen off from trees near by.
There was a muffled creaking as the wing slightly pushed The Lucerna, forcing it to slightly tilt to the side.

Cree, stood up keeping his balance, holding Benjamin by the shoulders and said:
You buster sob, u got me scared and worried to death. Welcome back Benjamin Martin!

Unfortunately, this guy who also was named Benjamin, was not Cree's Benjamin, looked different, but sounded as same. His young slow pitch grasp voice, made him sound like the Benjamin Cree knew, his mate for years.

At the same time Benjamin just finished introducing him to Cree, a lovely lady came out from the downstairs of the main deck....

-she approached the two puzzled guys and said
'Who was a this mysterious guy?
