Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Diva

"Hmph a Terran, well I guess I shouldn't be surprised since we are now in your space." The Gobli said in an annoyed tone.

"Is that how you normally show gratitude to someone who saved you?" Adam asked with a frown.

[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Talk about rude.]

[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Yup the standard Gobli condescending attitude.]

[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Why did he call the streamer a Terran?]

[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): Because of the similarities between your two races, you both look remarkably similar to each other, the Terran's just having something more. If you don't look closely it's easy to mistake you.]

[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): More?]

[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): It's difficult to explain, the Terran race in general is far better looking than your race but there is also something else that I can't say what it is though.]

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Is that normal for the universe? To have two races that look so similar.]

[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): It's not unheard of, however it couldn't be called common either.]

"Perhaps I would show more gratitude if you protected your territory better Terran, we only just entered it and were attacked." The Gobli replied.

"Are you suggesting that they knew you were coming and planned to ambush you here?"

"We can discuss this more later, for now I request you allow us aboard your ship. I'm sure you can see the damage we have sustained and that your sensors are indicating that our life support will soon fail."

Adam took a quick look at the sensors and saw that they did indeed show that.

"Who is 'we' exactly? I'm not a huge fan of allowing strangers on my ship."

"Myself and the artist I represent, Diva Lorelie. Unfortunately our pilot died during the attack."

[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Holy fuck! Did he just say Diva Lorelie is aboard that ship?]

[Devil_Prince_Asura (Deverinian 9): He did, oh fuck yeah. You have to allow them aboard streamer.]

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Diva?]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Diva is a title given to only the universe's greatest entertainers, singers or actors in the entertainment industry. They represent the pinnacle of that specific aspect and Diva … is one of the greatest singers in the universe.]

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Wow really? That means she's like one of the top celebrities right?]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): You know it, it's almost impossible to get tickets to one of her shows because they sell out so quickly. Even I have only been able to witness her perform a few times.]

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Streamer you have to let us see her.]

[[Notification: [Devil_Prince_Asura (Deverinian 9) Has issued you a quest]]

[[Quest: Allow your viewers to witness Diva Lorelie and if possible have her greet them]]

[[Completion Reward: 5,000 Credits]]

[[Completion Failure: Your viewers will curse you and you will have to complete five quests without being able to claim a reward.]]

[[Do you accept?]]

"I'm open to the idea since it's only the two of you, however you should know that certain areas of my ship are restricted." Adam replied.

"While I admit your ship is rather appealing to the eye, I highly doubt it has anything that would appeal to me or Diva Lorelie"

"As long as you understand, I will bring my ship alongside for docking." 

[[Quest Accepted]]

Adam piloted Spector to line up next to the Drard before extending the docking port and letting Spector dock automatically.

After the docking port was attached Adam was about to leave the bridge when Spector spoke up.

"Sensors detect a Terran military vessel heading in this direction at FTL, it is likely they are responding to the distress call and will arrive in a few hours."

"Well at least we won't have to deal with our guests long." Adam said before he left the bridge and headed for the docking port while the atmosphere of the docking port stabilised itself.

[Pressure stabilised] Spector said as a green light appeared above the docking port hatch.

Adam pressed a button and the hatch opened just before the hatch of the Drard opened revealing two individuals.

The first was the small green skinned Gobli Adam had spoken to. The second was a woman who appeared to be slightly older than him with long turquoise coloured hair and deep green eyes.

The woman was absolutely stunning and by far the most beautiful woman Adam had ever seen. She had a perfect hourglass figure that any model or celebrity on Earth could only dream off.

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Wow she's stunning.]

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Talk about beauty, women on Earth don't even compare.]

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): I have a new top celebrity I wish to follow, I just wish I could follow her.]

[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Diva Lorelie is still as beautiful as ever.]

[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): I'm glad to see she appears unharmed from the attack.]

[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): I wonder why she is in the Sandanar Galaxy.]

[Devil_Prince_Asura (Deverinian 9): According to her Xer-verse account she is traveling there to perform at an event organised by the imperial family.]

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): They should have provided an escort along with protection then hmph.]

[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): @Tessisdabest (Imperial Down) @Beczontop (Imperial Down) do you know why Diva … wasn't provided with an escort when she entered Terran controlled space?]

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): They're still not answering, what a time to play hooky. kekeke]

[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): Hooky?]

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): It's a term for when someone fails to go to school or work without reason or permission.]

Adam was so surprised by her beauty that he couldn't help himself but stare at Diva Lorelie for longer than what was considered polite.

Cough cough. "I understand that Diva Lorelie is beautiful, however don't you think you're staring for too long Terran?" The Gobli said in an annoyed tone.

"Ah my apologies." Adam said before continuing. "I was just transfixed by Diva Lorelie's beauty for a second, I can honestly say I have never seen anyone so beautiful."

"Save your sweet words Terran, you must have already known the beauty of Diva Lorelie considering her fame."

"I'm afraid not." Adam replied, causing the Gobli to scoff and roll his eyes while Diva Lorelie raised a curious eyebrow.

"Sure sure. Now please show us to our quarters." 

"This way please." Adam said politely before leading them along the hallway as Diva Lorelie and the Gobli looked around with interest.

Adam noticed this but decided not to comment even though the Gobli had said previously that he had little interest in Adam's ship.

Soon they reached a door that slid open to reveal a room that contained a bed, desk with chair, storage locker along with another door that led to a bathroom.

"You can use this room and the one next to it." Adam said before pointing to another door next to it.

"That door in the room leads to a personal bathroom in case you need to freshen up and if you proceed to the end of this corridor you will find the mess hall where you can get food if you get hungry."

"It will do I suppose. I require use of your ships comm system to send a message to our company and also for you to set course for Terrana 5" Gobli stated.

"Feel free to use the console on the desk to contact whoever you wish. However as for transporting you to Terrana 5 that won't be necessary as there is a Terran military ship that will arrive here in a few hours."

" Very well, at least we won't have to stay on this small ship for very long." The Gobli replied before entering the room and closing the door behind him.

Adam stared at the closed door in surprise before turning to see Diva Lorelie sigh.

"Forgive me if I'm wrong but shouldn't your manager make sure you're comfortable before returning to his own room? Especially for a star of your level?" Adam asked.

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Who is that green skinned bastard to think he can treat Diva Lorelie like that? 😡]

"That would indeed be the case normally, however it's complicated." Diva Lorelie replied with a sad sigh.

[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Noooo why does Diva Lorelie look so sad?]

[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): That damn Gobli, someone issue a quest for the streamer to kill him.]

[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): For once I agree with you, however the stream doesn't allow that idiot.]

"I see, then let me show you to your room, oh and if possible could I ask you to greet my viewers?" Adam replied as he led Diva Lorelie to the next door before opening it and stepping aside to allow her entry.

"Viewers?" Diva Lorelie asked in surprise.

"Ah right you can't see the micro cams since they're cloaked. I'm a streamer and I streamed the battle just now against the pirates. After my viewers found out that it was you who was onboard the Drard they gave me a quest to let onboard my ship and ask you to greet them." Adam explained.

"Oh really?" Diva Lorelie asked in mild surprise before smirking and saying. "Do you know how much I normally charge to appear on a broadcast?"
