As the three suns—Helion, Lumis, and Astra—began their descent, casting a mesmerizing twilight glow over Blue Beach Planet, the Zephryn family gathered for dinner. The resort’s ambiance was serene, the soft hum of the evening blending with the gentle lapping of the nearby ocean waves. They sat at a long table, filled with a feast that mirrored their lavish breakfast but with an evening twist.
NeuroCore’s holographic form shimmered into view above the table. “Good evening, everyone. I hope you’re all enjoying your meal.”
“Thank you, NeuroCore,” Elyra said, smiling warmly. “We certainly are.”
NeuroCore’s interface flickered for a moment before focusing on Zephryn. “Zephryn, I detect some contemplative signals from your brain. Is something on your mind?”
Zephryn paused, setting down his fork. “I’ve been thinking about Lyraen, the leader of the Zylothians we met earlier. She seemed particularly curious about our family and the magnitude of the Magnarids. I’m wondering why.”
NeuroCore nodded. “The Zylothians, unlike the Magnarids, have a much more constrained population policy. Their galaxy, the Helix Nebula, is limited in resources, and they believe that restricting population growth helps preserve their economy and environment. Each family is allowed to have no more than 500 children, which significantly limits their expansion.”
Aria raised an eyebrow. “Only 500? That’s hardly enough to maintain a sustainable presence, let alone grow.”
“Precisely,” NeuroCore continued. “This policy, while aimed at avoiding resource depletion and climate impacts, has stifled their growth and influence. In contrast, the Magnarids’ approach to limitless population growth has enabled us to spread across multiple galaxies, ensuring our security and prosperity.”
Zephryn leaned back, deep in thought. “So, our unlimited reproduction policy and the financial support from the Magnarids government ensure that we not only grow but thrive.”
NeuroCore nodded. “Correct. This strategy allows the Magnarids to dominate every galaxy we inhabit, maintaining peace and stability. It’s a philosophy deeply rooted in our desire to safeguard our civilization’s future.”
Daelon, Zephryn’s father, chimed in. “We Magnarids are present in every branch of the universe—every galaxy, every cluster. We manage and oversee countless systems, ensuring our people’s safety and growth.”
Elyra added, “And it’s this widespread presence that prevents wars and conflicts. By being everywhere, we ensure peace everywhere.”
Lyra, Zephryn’s little sister, looked up with wide eyes. “I never realized how widespread and influential we are. It’s amazing how we live peacefully with so many other races across the universe.”
Zephryn smiled at his sister. “That’s right, Lyra. It’s a testament to our policies and the strength of our people. Aria,” he said, turning to his wife, “I think we should consider having more children to contribute even more to our civilization’s growth.”
Aria nodded, her eyes sparkling. “I agree, Zephryn. It would be an honor to help expand our family and support the Magnarids further.”
Daelon looked at Elyra. “What do you think, dear? Should we also consider expanding our family?”
Elyra laughed softly. “Absolutely, Daelon. There’s nothing more fulfilling than contributing to our people’s future.”
Lyra’s eyes gleamed with determination. “When I grow up, I’m going to have 100,000 children to help our civilization!”
The entire family burst into laughter. Zephryn shook his head, chuckling. “You have plenty of time before you need to worry about that, Lyra. For now, just enjoy your youth and the adventures it brings.”
The evening continued with joyful conversation, laughter, and a renewed sense of purpose. They discussed their plans for the future, their hopes for the Magnarids civilization, and the adventures that awaited them.
As the night deepened and the three suns disappeared beyond the horizon, the Zephryn family felt closer and more united than ever. They knew that their contributions, no matter how small, were part of a grander scheme to ensure the Magnarids’ dominance and prosperity across the universe.
