The moment Peter Quill appeared, the Ravager ships that had been waiting for him intercepted him.
Kraft had no idea what Star-Lord discussed after returning to the Ravagers. In any case, a while later, the Milano flew out of their ship again and landed on Ego's Planet.
By then, the probes Kraft had deployed had finished gathering most of the planet's data. There was nothing particularly remarkable about its materials. Although there were some elements Kraft had never seen before, they were still within his understanding.
The only unusual thing was a special energy hidden within all the matter on this planet. That energy connected it to the planet, but once the material was removed, the trace of energy within it quickly dissipated, leaving Kraft no way to study it further.
Still, this reconnaissance had revealed a weakness of Ego's that wasn't quite a weakness: his control over his own planet didn't seem especially strong.
Never mind Kraft's little material-gathering operation-the Ravagers and Peter Quill had made quite a commotion in orbit, yet Ego hadn't reacted at all.
Then, on his monitor, Kraft watched the Milano fly toward a palace. Such a loud arrival finally alerted the people inside, and two humanoids, a man and a woman, emerged.
The man looked no different from a human and seemed fairly old. If he really was Peter Quill's father, then judging by the rate humans aged, his apparent age made sense...
His features also closely resembled the face on the planet, so he was most likely the so-called Ego.
The woman's appearance was closer to what people on Earth imagined aliens looked like. She had a pair of long antennae on her head, and her irises were so large that almost none of the whites of her eyes showed. Otherwise, she wasn't
