Appearance of a small brown haired boy annoying a young/old genius

[Orph]

"Oh you've got to be kidding me! My calculations were correct, you were the dunce who fucked them up in the actual experiment!" Matry roared as he looked at a holo-report that revealed one of his assistants mistakes, they were currently working on a way to increase the efficiency of a Gravitron shield. After chiding his assistant a few times a holographic figure appeared in the corner of the room, it was Ity, the ship's science officer and pilot. "There is a child at the door, it's the one you saved. I think his name is Koji." Ity informed before disappearing, after getting his assistant back to work Matry glanced at the door and it opened.

"Hello Koji? It's three in the morning, why aren't you asleep?"

[Ameko-chan]

Koji looked up at Matry with watery eyes. "I can't sleep." Tears streamed down his face. "Daddy's gonna shoot me again." He covered his face with his hands in shame. I know I shouldn't cry, he thought, but I'm so scared...

[Orph]

"Improbable, we are currently four million light-years from your native planet, even if your Father could cross that vast distance you are in a state-of-the-art warship staffed with the finest trained military men in the known Universe...and that will not help sleep at all." Matry murmured as he bent down and hugged the boy. "If you want I can make you a personal shielding device, it would take something along the lines of a missile to hurt you. Your Father's gun wouldn't do anything..would you like that?" Matry asked, even though he has a few kids himself he was never that good at consoling them. One time his first born child came home after getting into a scrap with a few other children, instead of calming him down Matry made him a glove that increased his physical strength to that of a bodybuilder..

Yeah, that didn't end well.

[Ameko-chan]

Koji nodded wordlessly. He had no idea what he was talking about, but from the sounds of things, this man was trying to protect him. Koji's eyelids suddenly felt like lead. They were extremely heavy. Crying sure wears me out... Koji yawned.

[Orph]

"Ity, activate the internal teleportation system the moment the kid goes out, give him his own personal room." Matry ordered as he sat the kid down on a nearby chair before getting to work on his personal shield.  "So Koji, tell me about the world you came from."

[Ameko-chan]

Koji sniffled. "I came from Earth. I don't know much about it, daddy wouldn't let me go outside very often because he's afraid that the Magic people will come and kidnap me." He looked down at his feet. "But I guess it's too late to worry about that now."

[Orph]

Matry shuddered a little as he heard Koji mention Earth, just a few days after the child was rescued it had been the victim of a massive nuclear holocaust. Koji's father was most likely incinerated. "Don't worry, although a few of us use magic. We could actually teach you something about it and you could use it for good, kind of like a super-hero." Matry informed.

[Ameko-chan]

Koji's eyes sparkled, and the tears ceased. "Really?" His energy came back to him. He was no longer exhausted and he felt joy. He always wanted to be something better. He looked down at his feet sheepishly. "I've always know that I was different from everyone else...." he fiddled with his bow tie shyly. "Before you saved me, I was playing soccer with some of the kids down the street. I guess I kicked the ball harder then necessary, because...it caught on fire and went through the net." He closed his eyes, picturing the expressions on the kids faces; shocked, scared, amazed. Then he saw his father. His eyes snapped open and he took in a quivery breath. "Behind the goal was a river, and the ball was headed right towards it and, I don't know how I did it...all I did was reach out for it and thought, 'Don't go in the river!' And it stopped right as it was about to hit the water. It really floated in the air! Then I thought, 'Come back to me.' And it did." Koji looked up at Matry. "What am I?"

[Orph]

"You're an evolved human, it may be that one of your ancestors was actually a Sage, a magic using alien, or many other reasons.. They don't really matter, you have a special organ in you known as a 'soul' it produces a power that is commonly referred to as magic, a force that can manipulate matter and energy. My boss is a very powerful magic user, I however am not. I'm just the head of the Archive's science department, meaning this ship you're on? I built it." Matry informed as Ity once again appeared in the corner. "Sir, we are ready to open the worm hole to the destination, it's a world currently under control of a relatively unknown Empire." Ity informed, Matry just waved his hand as a sign of approval and Matry and Koji were teleported to the bridge.

Outside the window they could see the wormhole being formed, a giant crack in the very fabric of Space. "And this, is how we get around. By a worm hole generator, we manipulate the fabric of Space to create little shortcuts, very efficient." Matry announced as the Thanatos shot forward, entering the wormhole and appearing on the other side.
