Regarding the mysterious vessel's appearance ever since it engaged with a reconnaissance fleet in the Asdana, multiple reports had indicated that the same vessel have been appearing at places, specifically targeting the IPC ships, leading the officials to believe that this is the work of another Galaxy Ranger, who seemed to be wealthy enough to afford themselves a ship capable of punching through the defenses of Credit.

"T- The shipwreck is... Truly horrifying." - The Intelletron said as she hurriedly took down notes after placing her camera down. "Wh- What kind of enemy is capable of doing such damage to the hull of the company's ships?"

"I understand, Carmella. Make sure you record everything, the department is going to love it when we finally get some interesting news in the mystery section of the newspaper!" - Owlbert talked to Carmella through the phone, as he is still busy with some matters in other places, he had entrusted Carmella to accompany several dismantling IPC ships to report the news...

"Fufufu..."

A strange chuckled came from the distance, it was not familiar to anyone in the team, and as they all raised their guards and turned over to the source of the chuckle, they were surprised to see a seemingly ordinary news reporter there, sitting atop a rock, taking down note the good ol' fashion way with a typewriter, it is a girl, a beautiful one at that.

"The ships crashed onto the surface of Dabue 32 system hours ago... And yet the IPC only sent their people here now, worse still, not any kind of medical squad, just a salvaging squad, it seemed like the Company doesn't even care about the safety of the crew..." - She whispered while typing aggressively on the typewriter. "Hmm this will make a great headline for the Cosmos to see."

"Who are you? Identify yourself, or be shot down as an enemy of the Amber Lord!" - One of the workers raised their gun against the girl, but yet Carmella stopped them.

"Wait! Hold your fire! This tone, this outfit, that one signature aggressive typing style on the typewriter, it can't be! Y- You are from the BFF!!! What are you doing here?"

"BFF?" - One of the workers raised their eyebrows, to which another worker answered.

"Best
Fuli
Forecast.

They are a cosmic-wide news channel, rivaled that of the IPC, they might have fewer members than our department, but all of them are Memokeepers!"

"What? So that means..." - The workers focused their attention on the Memokeeper sitting there, giving them a warm smile.

"Now? Seems like you finally understand... Not only the IPC is trying to unravel the mystery around this story, but the BFF as well, and as always... Unlike the false servants of Amber, we would not censor any truth."

"..."

"See ya! I have collected enough data here!"

The Memokeeper then threw a bunch of newspapers just printed out from the typewriter, and disappeared among them as they rained upon her...

Carmella stood there, puzzled by how the Garden of Recollection seemed to be into this thing as well... Just how big exactly will this impact the Cosmos?

"So you're telling me, currently there are 5 official Astral Express members, excluding Pom Pom being the conductor of the Express of course, but you also got 2 more temporary passengers on the Express as well." - Akivili asked, clearly amused by how things turned out on the Express. "One of them is a Memokeeper, and one of them previously wielded the power of Harmony and Order, who almost killed you all too, but you are now cool with him because he got somewhat of a redemption arc."

"Pretty much the whole story, yes. Right now we are on... 3.0, Amphoreus."

"Huh, never heard of that, anyways, let us move on to another topic. Speaking of Memokeeprs, did you know that Fuli was a MILF?"

"Wat."

"Anyways, tell me about those Galaxy Rangers, their name sounded somewhat interesting, I sure hope they are relevant around the Cosmos, not just some group that is so few in number and is now treated like criminals everywhere." - Akivili leaned back against the chair. "What Path do they follow? Oh boy I hope it's not like those poor Mourning Actors bastards."

"Well generally all the Galaxy Rangers are said to be following the Path of the Hunt, although not directly blessed or acknowledged by the Aeon of The Hunt - Lan THEMSELVES."

"Interesting. I thought all the followers of the Hunt would be delusional, paranoid, stupid and racist like most of those on Xianzhou ships. Seems like those Rangers opened up another branch, or have those Xianzhou ships opened up for outsiders and stopped racism?"

"Oh no no, they are still very incredibly racist."

Meanwhile, on Xianzhou Luofu

Some Vidyadhara are sitting in a public restaurant, they are not just some random Vidyadhara of course, they are planning to somehow kidnap and threaten the current High Elder - Bailu of course.

That is until they were about to leave after planning out a perfectly crafted plan just for Aha to drop an explosive rabbit later, they bumped into a group of foxians, who don't seem to be fond of the Long's Scions. The two groups all lined up and stood face to face against one another of the other group, acting all intimidating like during a gang confrontation.

"Huh? When did this restaurant open to stray pets? So I can bring some of mine here next time." - One of the Vidyadhara taunts, to which some others smirked, but not the foxians.

The foxians immediately come back with another reply :

"Let's go, boys, this restaurant is going to overcharge us with cleaning fees, especially their customers who probably all sprinkled eggshells inside there." - One of the foxians said, to which some others smirked as well, an annoyed look all replaced the previous smirk on the Vidyadhara's faces.

"Well let's keep our distance now, people. We don't wanna get bitten by werewolves~ woo~ spooky~" - One of the Vidyadhara said as they raised both hands and started backing away mockingly.

"I agree. Man, this restaurant probably served only water soup and watered meat if those can eat here." - The foxians taunted back.

The two groups remained at a standoff until one random normal guy walked past them. To which the two groups bursted out in laughter as they all directed their attention to that one poor guy.

"OH MY AEON LOOK AT THAT"

"A NORMAL HUMAN"

"HEY HOW DOES IT FEEL TO ONLY LIVE ENOUGH TO FINISH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?"

"YA ALL AIN'T GONNA EVER SEE BIG STEAL MANUAL SIX'S RELEASE IN YA LIFETIME!!"

"WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

The normal guy just took out a gun and started blasting.

— — —

"Anyways. As I was saying, the Galaxy Rangers mainly followed the Hunt not because of their hatred against the Abundance in particular, but rather they admired Lan because of the Aeon's method to use violence against violence, delivering judgement on the injustice swiftly and quickly."

"So they do live up to their names. A bunch of heroes running around the Cosmos is definitely not on my bingo card."

"Yes, and also most Galaxy Rangers operate on their own, basically allowing them to be able to respond to those who in need on an astronomically wide scale, and also each individuals are quite powerful on their own as well, I suspect that Lan might have bothered to bless them all or they are all just that ripped off."

"Well... How many are there?"

"Uhh... That number is not exactly known..."

"Fair enough. At least give me an assumption? The Express's data bank, the IPC's [Trailblaze profanity] newspaper probably do have them at some point." - Akivili said.

"Well. During my adventure on Penacony, the Galaxy Ranger who was also there - Boothill did mention the Rangers' numbers come around a few thousands at some point." - Stelle replied.

"Wow. A few thousands? That Lan fella probably worked really hard if he was blessing that many people, but I guess fair enough. What do you mean 'at some point'? Have their numbers increased by chance?"

"No... They are... Reduced."

"How many now?"

"..."

"Hundreds? Or just a thousand?"

"... Well... Just... a few."

"..."

Akivili was visibly disappointed to learn about their current numbers, being as poor as the IQ of an average Vidyadhara that plotted to harm Bailu.

"Well. Did they all die valiantly in a mission or what?"

"Well not exactly... It is said that they have some sort of fight with the #64 of the Genius Society, Dr. Primitive."

"Oh well here we go again with the nerds."

"It is actually said that Dr. Primitive single handedly reduced their numbers on such a massive scale that the Rangers were forced to lay low for a really long time while all the surviving members all agreed on a joint operation which is hunting down Dr. Primitive."

"Huh. Those Rangers are strong, you say? So how strong is this guy actually? Primitive?"

"He is an Emanator of Erudition."

"Wow. One of the big nerd computer's Emanator and picked the name Primitive. What does he use to wipe the Galaxy Rangers out with? Some massive, planetary sized clubs or rocks?"

"Well, to start it all off, Dr. Primitive isn't exactly a friendly individual to the entire Cosmos when compared to the likes of IPC or the Nameless-"

"Never put the word IPC and the word Nameless together in one sentence again, my child." - Akivili interrupted Stelle.

"Right. Anyways, he was pretty evil and was even on pursue by many organizations all across the Cosmos, even the IPC placed a bounty on him, and this was even before his conflict against the Galaxy Rangers on Vonwacq, a seemingly habitable planet blessed with abundant tree forests and islands, it's also where the Thousand-Tree Greenwood lies, the Rangers fought valiantly to defend it against Dr. Primitive."

"What does the Primitive guy do again, for even the [Trailblaze profanity] IPC to place a bounty on him? And for the Rangers to fight him?"

"Right... Uh... How do I say this, I am not entirely sure about this, but it seems like Dr. Primitive does specialize in genetic modification, many reports had indicated the worlds in his wake had all their inhabitants turned into monkeys and apes."

"Holy [Trailblaze profanity], this Primitive guy, of all the things he can turn people into, like, say, a lion, or a great white shark, he just decided to make them monkeys instead?"

"Well that kinda fits his name, Primitive."

"Fair enough I guess. Anyways, continue."

"Anyways, after successfully defending the Greenwood against Dr. Primitive, The Rangers were unfortunately targeted by the Genius, and through unknown methods through unknown duration of time, their numbers were massively reduced and were forced to lay low until recently. But all of them have agreed to hunt down the Genius to take vengeance as well."

"Huh. Well, I guess that makes sense for an Emanator, you can't exactly be messing too much with them, these poor Rangers really picked their opponents poorly."

"Actually... No, they did battle an Emanator before, and won."

"Holy [Trailblaze profanity] [Trailblaze profanity], they did?"

"Yes, it was the event that made their name known throughout the Cosmos too, they basically ambushed and killed one of Nanook's Lord Ravagers, which was Zulo. Not much was known about this Emanator in particular, but the Rangers used quite a smart way to assassinate him."

"Well tell me about it, I wonder why they didn't use the same way against someone with an army of monkeys."

"Well, I think if I recalled it right, they just kinda lured some of the space bugs towards Zulo's fleet as a diversion while their main strike force would barge in at the heat of the battle between two sides and directly aiming at the Lord Ravager, it is unknown about how many casualties the Rangers suffered nor was the aftermath of the battle, but it is clear that they were able to make a name for themselves by killing an Emanator."

"That is actually pretty impressive, I must say, Emanators are no joke after all, but yet they probably underestimated that Primitive guy."

"Yeah... Oh well at least until recently, the Rangers resurfaced on the Cosmos as one of them, Boothill which was also present on Penacony offered to help us by summoning the remaining Rangers from the corners of the Cosmos to weaken the dream of the Order, how many was exactly there wasn't even clear but I can tell there are only a handful left at least."

"Damn, I am proud of you, my child."

"Uhh..."

"Because you have so many connections, and especially those connections are made with the people from various Paths, just like a true Nameless."

"Hehe..." - Stelle seemed happy. "Thank you."

"Anyways, tell me more about the Nameless of this era, aside from the Astral Express, is there anyone else out there pursuing the true purpose of Trailblazing and being a true Nameless?"

"Well..." - Stelle seemed to think for a bit, she thought there would be none to name, until a certain name came across her mind. "Oh no.."
