The atmosphere on the Thunder Temple's dedicated landing platform grew tense and bustling. Engineering robots surrounded the Guardians of the Galaxy's Benatar, efficiently repairing its damage and making the necessary modifications for the mission. Star-Lord and Rocket darted around, wincing as they watched their ship undergo "surgery," yet unable to stop marveling at the advanced technology and materials the temple provided.
"Hey! Easy! That's limited-edition plating from Karnak!"

At the same time, he instructed Remy to use that data to begin creating custom protective equipment and weapon enchantments for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
"Remy, based on the properties of undead energy, design a highly mobile protective suit for Quill, focusing on protection against psychic attacks and energy draining.

For Groot... provide concentrated life essence supplies to strengthen his natural power's resistance to a death-saturated environment. Gamora... she seems to have her own equipment. Provide a portable high-energy shield and an undead detector."
"Instructions confirmed. Generating
