"Saffire~!" Blackfire says as you satisfy. Her lower back hits the matress, and you fall on top of her. The two of you laugh as you catch your breath.
You quickly get up and brush yourselves off as you hear someone returning.
"Sister?" Starfire calls from the other room.
Blackfire heads out into the living room.
"Yes? What is it?"
"We found something else!"
You hurry out of the bedroom.
"You did? What did you find?"
"Come, I will show you!"
The three of you head outside and you see Cyborg and Beastboy--in the form of a male bovine--pushing something large and cylindrical.
"Is that what I think it is?" Blackfire says.
"Sure is," Cyborg says.
"It's an engine!" you say in awe. "Where was this?!"
"It was just sitting in the middle of the island!" Beastboy exclaims, back in human form. "It was stuck in the ground a bit, but we dug it up and rolled it here."
"Wow..." You're speechless. "How... How does all this stuff end up on the island in a way that the trees covered it up from a bird's eye view?"
"It must have been here for a long time," Blackfire says. "Assuming a ship crash landed on this island, it had to have happened years ago, allowing enough time for the trees to regrow and repopulate the crash site."
"If that is the case," Starfire says, "then how did the Horbaloan become burried under ground?"
"Perhaps survivors chose to hide it," Blackfire hypothesizes.
"What I want to know is," you speak up, "who was on that ship?"
You study the engine from all angles.
"My friend, Rabsy Wabsy," you say, "has many basic schematics of engines and ship parts."
"Wait," Blackfire stops you, "Rabsy's last name is 'Wabsy'?"
"Yeah, he legally changed it so that it would rhyme. But as I was saying, of his many schematics and blueprints, only two match this engine's design. One is Kozoal, the species that once owned the Horbaloan, and the second one..."
You stop as you remember the other name.
"The name of the second group is..."
"What?" Blackfire asks. "What's the other group's name?"
