explanation: the androids are modifying their spaceship to survive FTL journeys. Demi's methods are... a little odd. But still more sane than her method of actually making an FTL jump in the first place.
"Wait... you dismantled a Ring of the Stars? How? Where did you even get one?"
"While the four that we used were immediately reclaimed by Le Roof, the faulty Rykros Ring, which was never usable and thus never activated, did not register as needing to be returned. I wished to research the concept of devices that merged technology and psychic phenomena - as you know, I was given the functionality to emulate a healing technique but I am aware that fully psychic androids once existed. My ambition is to upgrade myself using the blueprints of such an android and use my new abilities to compensate for Wren's extreme weakness to psychic techniques. As I was the fifth excursion party member, and as such, was given the remaining Ring, I managed to keep it for further experimentation in private."
"And you succeeded in creating your own legendary magically charged device? Without anyone noticing? Not even Le Roof?"
"This is not an original construct. We recreated the exact physical structure of the original Ring on a large scale, then slotted the original into it so that the technique would be conducted into the larger device once we applied large amounts of psychic energy into it. We hired technique-users to charge the device with energy."
"And they said yes?" Rune felt himself becoming increasingly exasperated. Somehow, it felt profoundly sacrilegious for the androids to do such a thing without consulting any authority on the matter, and he felt even more pessimistic about the security of Algol if Le Roof couldn't even stop androids who were central to Algol's defences from performing such experiments right under His proverbial nose.
